Huge game. We can separate ourselves from the rest of the pack with a win.

[Sly Fox]

As I mentioned above, Flittner sat out Saturday's game and I can find no indication of the seriousness of his injury to determine if he'll be playing Wednesday evening. He clearly is a major concern when he is on the floor.

Flittner is out 2-4 more games with a knee injury and is definitely out Wednesday. Big loss for the 'dogs.

Word on the street is they took them down because they know our little game on FlameFans

True.

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

Who wants to go?! It a valid reason to skip church!

[sweetnahmah1]

4 hour drive? Shoot, I'd love to, but I can't let my ims team down and miss a game.

[ChrisxCrash]

i would like to make the trip, but i have a pretty tough test on thursday. :[

i hate LCA! :

[JMUDukes]

We have been paired with GW in Bracketbusters.

will be checking on this game.

[TDDance234]

GWU is in the middle of nowhere. Talk about redneck.

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

GWU is in the middle of nowhere. Talk about redneck.

Yes It is... I used to go there a few times a month... ahhh the great times

[SuperJon]

This is the first game in over a month that I won't be at. No wonder it felt so weird.

[Hold My Own]

I'll go if I can get some sort of guarantee that former flames will be there sitting behind their bench so I can watch their faces as we beat them

[Chris Lang]

This is the first game in over a month that I won't be at. No wonder it felt so weird.

This is the only game the rest of the year I won't be attending.

You must have drawn the short straw and got stuck with a Seminole District girl's game tonight....

[Chris Lang]

Nah, UVa, which isn't playing a whole lot better. (Sorry, Smooth.)

[Sly Fox]

Why do I have a hard time believing the Hokie was sorry to crack the joke?

[Chris Lang]

Now, now, I'm objective. And honestly, if there's one game Virginia might be capable of winning the rest of the season, it may be Feb. 18 against Tech, since the Hokies are so mercurial.

Sorry for the threadjack. Back to the Bulldogs, who for some reason are terrible at home in league and 5-1 on the road. The Flittner injury really is a major setback for GW. CJ Hailey isn't nearly as polished as Flittner, and Aaron Linn has to turn into much more of a scorer than a true point guard. The X-factor for them seems to be Nate Blank, who's been coming off the bench. He's been really up and down of late. I suppose if MacMillan gets going, it could be trouble for LU. But he wasn't a factor at all in the December meeting because he can't defend guards.

[jcmanson]

If we win tonight we can make a run at the regular season championship. If we lose, well, I'll hope for 3rd.

Really? I thought after our Radford loss we were out of that...

[jcmanson]

We're only 2 games out. It's a long shot, but still a shot.

[jcmanson]

Jesse Sanders makes his first appearance where his bro was a stud. I'm sure he's chompin at the bit for the game tonight.
