A Sea Of Red

Which would be the best three home games to come to this year? I don't want to watch a blowout, I want to see a good, evenly played game.

I know we will get some disagreement here, but the 2 games I wouldn't miss for the world are VMI (Feb. 26) and Radford (March 1) because both teams bring some roudy fans to town; the other game would be a toss-up between either High Point (Jan 26) or Winthrop (Feb 12). Of course, if you want to see the giant of the conference, UNCA has a center who is around 7'8" (Feb. 9).

VMI is always a fun game because of the keydets.

And the chants of "West Point Rejects!"

I always like watching the underdog. In that case it would be Winthrop or High Point. However, if the games are over break there won't be any fans there so I would come to a game while school is in session.

Radford used to bring rowdy fans. They haven't had fans in a few years now.

i dont really care about the fans, i just want a good basketball game, meaning what happens on the 94' x 50' rectangle

Too many unknowns right now to know for sure which games will be the best matchups, but IMHO, with the possible exception of Radford all Big South games should be competetive.

Assuming you are coming from out of town and Saturdays would allow for making the trip w/o missing work, I would recommend 1/19 vs. Charleston Southern, 1/26 vs. High Point and 2/9 vs. UNC Ashville, especially the last one because I think it should be a good game, and Kenny George making 6'8" plus men look like little boys really is something to see.

12/1 vs. Niagra could be a good early season matchup. We gave them a pretty good run last year at their place.
