Another must win for us if we want to finish in the top 4. UNCA is better than their overall and conference record indicates.

And they always figure out how to hit threes against us. Gotta play good D.

Personally, I'm not a big believer in the "must win" concept. Every game is important, but all that matters is where you are after they have all been played.

That's what I was getting at, yeah.

It will be interesting, that's for sure.

You forgot Dickey. He's pretty good too.

His numbers are down this season. Those three are the consistent threats in their roster right now.

And yet in the game where they almost beat Coastal, he dropped 17 on them.

Not to mention he put 12 on us in the Vines last year.

He's pretty important. When he gets going. They play well.

You win!

I'm as concerned about the injury report/status of BOTH teams, frankly.. seems as though we both have impacting injuries to contend with...

Bottom line is both of these teams have had major similarities this year.. there have been blowouts for both at home & away.. both teams struggle in games with offensive shooting %, TOs, and allowing teams to score... Both teams are young and gaining experience in each & every game.. Both teams need to keep winning (especially UNCA) to keep pace with others in the conference.. Differences are the records in conference but the comparisons are difficult as we've played different teams & UNCA has put some of the better teams to the test while losing games we should win (CSU), ultimately dropping 3 close games that could've gone differently... I expect this game to be close on paper & hopefully in reality as well, but again if either team shows signs of trouble like in some other games, it could go south for either squad as well..

That's the frustrating part of young teams- you just don't know which game your team is going to show up!!

This is our second straight season of fielding a primarily freshman lineup. Truer words have never been typed on here.

are students back yet or no??

Injury status of both teams? I don't know what kingaling is referring to. As far as I know we are healthy except for Tyler, and we've known for like 6 weeks that he was out for the year.

I believe I read that classes start Monday. If so, most probably are not.

Most students are getting back today. There's no telling if they'll be at the game or not.

Apparently kingaling knew what he was talking about.

Which unfortunately means their coach does too.

The coaches saw him grabbing the wrist during the GW game tape review & scout.. Time will tell if it's a factor..

I'll have an update on him in the blog. I noted at the end of my story Thursday that his wrist was in a splint. Severity was not known at the time.
