Out in the middle of nowhere but possibly one of the prettiest campus views around. Plus an incredible facility. ( as an added bonus a pretty cool nickname)

we better win that ish

Posted: **December 31st, 2012, 4:36 pm**

Flames playing well...battling hard on the road... Vander Pol has helped the team.

Posted: **December 31st, 2012, 4:52 pm**

What an ending. Down 4, WCU fouls, then gets a tech.... Had the game and gave it back to LU!
Can't make this up in a fiction book.... Unbelievable

Flames WIN!!!

Up by 1, WCU calls a time out with no time outs remaining; Speaks hits both technical foul free throws for the win.

Posted: **December 31st, 2012, 4:57 pm**

Twenty-four turnovers and we still pull it out. Gielo with a double-double 10 pts and 11 rebounds. Vander Pol with 4 blocks. Outrebounded WCU 38-28. Defense looks improved.

Happy New Year. Flames first D 1 win on 12/31. Wow..

...and where I did my grad work! Still love to see us win- and a decent one, at that.

Definitely a confidence booster. Miraculous finish to the game

Posted: **December 31st, 2012, 5:24 pm**

Probably wont hear a word from a certain proud alum after this one...shades of Chris Webber with the finish to this one (although this game wasnt for the national championship)

Posted: **December 31st, 2012, 5:40 pm**

nice call from Alan York at the end of the game. good confidence booster for the team. well done.

Posted: **December 31st, 2012, 6:20 pm**

Woo-hoo!! Good job Flames!

Posted: **December 31st, 2012, 6:38 pm**

Good win today. Hope the guys can enjoy it and carry the momentum into conference play.

Haize, incredible facility? What?!

I'll give you the view. I like the trips to Cullowhee and Boone the most in the SoCon.

I think it's a great facility. Of course I haven't been there in about 15 years but unless they've really let it go downhill it still should be nice.

It's not a bad place functionally for any mid-major program.

Posted: **January 1st, 2013, 5:58 pm**

Any road win is a big deal so congrats to the coach and team! Now we will see what happens in the BSC could be some surprises with new format.

Glad to see us finally get a Division I win this season.
