A Sea Of Red

Welp, this should be a quick tournament for us.

I think we will win against Campbell simply because it's so hard to beat a team 3 times in one year.

Then we will lose to Ashville.

I would like to believe that they can't hit contested hand in your face threes against us 3 games in a row. I think the defense shows up and we get the W.

I'd put the taller Cuffee and Williams on their two high-scoring guards.

Went to a match up zone against High Point - could it be because we wanted to practice that for Campbell? I like that much better than the Pack Line AGAINST Campbell.

No. If we don't beat High point we aren't playing Campbell. That move was to beat High Point, who also torched us from 3 the last time we played them. I expect us to do pretty much the same against the Camels. About a 50/50 mix of zone and pack line.

OK - I like mixing up the defense a bit anyway. We have to take away the three from teams like Campbell or we lose every time.

Variation of the packline where Cuffee and Williams don’t help off the shooters much at all.



I like LU to advance to the semis. I will be there watching.Go Flames.

As predicted here Scottie was named 2nd team all-conference and Cuffee all-Freshman. Kemrite all-academic. First team was Cooks (POY), Clemens, Thomas, Teague and Polite.

Scottie's chances weren't helped by the fact that although he was by far the best % shooter in the league, he is not listed among the leaders because he did not meet the "criteria" by jacking up 300 shots. Doesn't matter apparently that he actually MADE more shots on his 255 attempts than 3 of the players who did. They aren't even consistent because for 3 point % the criteria is a minimum of 2.5 MAKES per game. Only 4 players qualified, not including the Broman brothers from WU, who both fell just short, and I believe would have been 1 and 2, with Kemrite in the mix as well.

Well, after further research, I was wrong about the minimum criteria for FG %. It is actually 5 makes per game, and Scottie's 154 FG in 31 games is ONE short. With one more make, he would be so far ahead that he could miss his next 45 shots and still lead the league in FG%.

A lot of talk about Williams, who is actually only playing about 10 minutes a game since returning from his suspension. The job of contesting those shots will fall mostly on Cuffee, Cabbel (if he can go), Homesley and McDowell.

Williams is a great defender. Hoping he is back to 20+ minutes for the tournament. His emotional outbursts have been tamed, but not fixed.

Super homer of me here, but I think we are the favorites Thursday night.

Great? Personally, I like to use that word a bit more selectively. He has shown some potential by being able to stick fairly well on the perimiter for a player his size.

Probably a little loose on the term great, I agree. I am thinking back to our first meeting with Winthrop how Williams was the difference in that game , shutting down Cooks.

Who guards Clemons? So far, nothing has worked. I don't know anyone else who can drain 10 three pointers between the three point and half-court line. Our best shot is to get him in foul trouble like we did last week at Campbell and hope we can stop everyone else.

Flames hope to cool off hot shooting Camels

I am not seeing our game listed on the watch ESPN app. Anyone else see it?

Who came up with this schedule? Could they not have shifted everything an hour earlier?

No, looking for it as well. The UNCA game was on.

Looks like it is up now.

Just popped up when i refreshed..

Campbell 0-4 from behind the arc.

We are playing well. Campbell is heating up. No scoring droughts this game fellas. Consistency. We got this.

Halftime score:

LU 37
CU 27

Clemens with ZERO 3-balls.

Scottie athletic early, we’re getting to the rim and finishing a little better than them. But oh boy if their #3 can get it going it will bring them right back into it. Nothing safe here.

Myo and Scottie attempted 8 FG and 2 FT in the first half. Total misses........none.
