Mike Tilley with the call tonight with Matt Hildebrandt providing the color.

Montreat simply doesn't have the horse to run tonight. Sorry, Haize.

Flames up 30-19 with 5:30 to go in 1st Half

LU leads 30-22 with 5:13 left.

Checking FlameFans from the game?

Nice dunk by Smith!

Andrew finishing this alleyoop on one end ...



.. and swatting a shot on the other end immediately thereafter. Perhaps this experience will help him come out of his shell.

LU 41-27 at half.

The dunk by Smith was nice! One handed too... He always looks real athletic when going through drills. I hope he breaks through and can help the Flames in conference play too.

Tavares' reverse slam showed his ups as well. If we can just get some more healthy bodies out there things could start turning around in conference play. Keep in mind we arguably have the two toughest games of the schedule already behind us.

I realize it is Montreat, but developing some muscle memory in a positive fashion is important for these new guys in particular.

54-33 with 15:46 left.

Please learn to pronounce Gielo correctly. Please...

66-39 with 10:10 left.

Good to see Stephen Baird on the floor and getting some things done. His stroke on the three from the corner was excellent.

Another three for Stephen! If we can start getting minutes & production form him at the 4 it could be a real shot in the arm.

72-47 with 6:33 left.

76-54 with 3:49 left.

That assist total sets a new Vines Center record breaking one set by TJ Bannister a few years back.

I love these LUO women smiling at laptop commercials! (sarcasm)

I'm really beginning to love this team.

LU wins 91-73.

That was the longest 4 minutes of basketball in my life.

Third straight win ... the competition picks back up after Christmas.

Here's the broadcast crew tonight ...

Jesse is closing in on a bunch of records including the DI assist mark of Hildo and he just needs a bucket to hit 1000 career points.

The Freshman trio of Baird, Gielo and Smith combined for 23 points and 10 boards and shot 10-12 from the floor.

Definitely liking those shooting numbers (could have tightened it up from the line though. you wont win many games down the stretch shooting missing 12 free throws and shooting under 70% from there)
