This game needs no explanation. WU is the class of the Big South and is a huge favorite int his one. But anyone who has been around the Big South very long knows there are no gimmes on the road in league play. And if we outhustle them and hit our shots we can pull off the upset.
The cool thing for FlameFans and Winthrop folks alike is that those of us not fortunate to make the game can watch the action endure Scar's commentary online:
FTN Video Stream
And its not very often when we can go onto an opponent's board in the Big South. But WEF has a great site to stop by:

Now if only every other school in the country provided a live feed to professionally produced televised games on their websites...That is a great service that LU and FTN provide...

I'd trade it all for a professionally produced basketball team!

Hopefully the feed won't be down like last Monday night. You old guys really missed some good reminiscing about the Old Mason Dixon Athletic conference with Longwood. Plus you guys missed a win for the good guys. Maybe tomorrow will be like last Monday in that regard....And I promise to use the term "Boom goes the Dynamite" at least 5 times in the telecast! I have to admit I am excited about this game. It would be cool to get into the Big South Tournament by beating the #1 team. Sly, just for that comment, no shout outs to you

I have 2 more games to get in one to Medic! How is that for holding on to an audience. Promise a shout out in November and deliver sometime in late February.

I am sure Coach will have the guys ready to play. If Blair gets hot and we have a good half like the 1st half on Saturday, you never know.

Predictions anyone on the game tonight?
I will start
WU 81
LU 63

The 81 is probably a bit too high, the 63 really is. I think an ugly 71-47 game.

Winthrop big. They're getting pressure from Coastal and BSC and a loss to the 8th place team in the conference is simply out of the question for them.

I love the optimism!

Definitely a trap game for Winthrop. Let's just say I took a day to rest after the game saturday. I'll say WU 68 LU 64, but I'm hoping for a bigger margin.

The high speed stream is working great. I have it up right now.

Slow start for both squads. Somebody hit some shots.

You guys shooting well, we're leaving too many open looks.

Rish with 3 fouls already ... that last one was a really weak call.

by Realist
Yeah that was weak.

He was barking at Hubbard after the play, that's why he got the T.
