Thanks for putting this together Sly. Makes the game more official if we have a thread up with pictures for a couple of days.

The old adage is that Defense Travels. Seems like the guys play with more of an edge and tenacity when they are the visitors. Hopefully the energy in the vines will be there and the Defense can stay home some too.

Gardner-Webb has won games at Nebraska and at Radford this season. I am expecting a very close game tomorrow night.

If it comes down to foul shooting, you have nothing to worry about. We have been inconsistent all season, our guards do not share the basketball, and Nelson's numbers have suffered as a result.

The shot we have here is that maybe you guys are looking ahead to an old school Big South rival game with Winthrop at your place Saturday night. Maybe y'all come out flat as a result, but I don't think Ritchie will let that happen.

What is the expected attendance for tonight's game ? My guess is 3,500. Students are back, and a winning team that is fun to watch because they share the ball.

Another clutch win. We did a better job of team rebounding tonight against a team with multiple quality bigs. Dawson and kemrite put us on their backs. Bell has great moves but has got to learn to finish. Big game saturday now. Typically we get wiped out in this type game so lets see.

Gwebb1994 you weren't kidding when you said they were selfish. Could've had a lot of open threes if they would kick it out but they chose to drive recklessly. Got a lot of charges or Turnovers was kind of shocked. Nelson was a monster but he can do so much.

Defense was very good. Ryan and John with big games when everyone was off. Rebounding was outstanding. A lot of the time in the right position and defended the weak side a lot better.

Can't say enough how bad the Big South officials are. My gosh.

One of the three officials last night, is one of the best in the country. I do not think we can blame officials this morning.

Kemrite finished the game 5/6 from the field, 3/4 from 3, and 7/8 from the free throw line. A Sea of Red article pointed out this stat. This is so efficient, and Ryan does so many things for us on the defensive end as well.

Great game by him, and very impressive season.

He missed his last field goal attempt too. He had 20 points on 5 field goal attempts at that point, finished with 20 points on 6 field goal attempts. That's beyond efficient.

Agreed...as I noted, they had four more free throw attempts than we did. That's pretty close actually.

Perhaps they were equally bad to both teams? I saw some calls that were questionable at best against both teams.

By what standards? And I'm not blaming officials I'm just saying they suck.

Multiple touch fouls on myo. Missed goaltending and then following up with a blatant flop call called on Gardner. A potential 5 point swing. Liberty got away with flop calls too.

I didn't get their last names nut the guy sitting behind him often referred to them by their first names - "Moe, Larry, and Curly."

Mike Eades and two younger guys.

Complaining about touch fouls on Myo ? He records lots of fouls in most games. So every single official gets it wrong with only Myo ?

Eades is cocky but he is good. I'm sure he was there to mentor the other 2.
