It would be nice to have a nice turnout to honor our seniors. My wife and I will be there (and my son). That's 3. Just need about 2K more

I will be there too.

That's great. With us and the band and cheerleaders and the teams that should bring the total to @ 50. We're getting there

Sorry but blow up dolls and Liberty University are not to be used in the same sentence. Maybe Gardner Webb but not LU

I did!

UNCA leads 13 to 4 with 15 remaining. Not to be a name dropper but I went to school with Blaylock. You cannot let her shoot a wide open three. She will make you pay everytime.

UNCA leads 15 to 10 with 11:34 left in the 1st.

LU leads 19 to 15 with 8:07 left in the 1st. Avery is eating them alive. She has 12 pts. already.

LU leads 29 to 19 with 3:52 to go in the 1st.

LU leads 33 to 25 at half.

LU leads 42 to 32 with 15:38 left to go.

LU leads 47 to 36 with 11:59 left.

LU leads 52 to 43 with 7:33 to go.

LU leads 63 to 55 with 3:10 left.

LU wins 72 to 58.

Great win. Asheville missed Kelli Riles and her scoring/rebounding this game. Personally I would still like to see us shoot more fromn the outside and go to the boards like we did today versus passing to our bigs' ankles and turning the ball over. We average 21 TOs a game. If we shot from the outside half those times instead of forcing the ball inside and made even a 1/3 of those shots then we would have 8-10 more points a game (or got offensive rebounds). Our record would then be 24-4. 21 TOs means 21 shots we're not taking and 21 more opportunities for the other team. I guess I'm just being logical. Emily Frazier needs to be a threat and at times a scorer and not make passes at the ankles of . . . .I'm just repeating myself.

I like Emily Frazier. And she'll only get better, she's come a long way from the beginning of the year. I think if we learned anything tonight it's get the ball to Avery Warley! (and sometimes Devon Brown).

Jelena only scored a couple points. But maybe she was limited in action.

One last observation then I'll be quiet. This year the average attendance is @830 per game. We had 1004 tonight on senior night. This is the lowest average attendance in @ 10 years. We have averaged @ 1200+ per game during this span. I believe we peaked 4-5 years ago at 1490. I imagine it was even higher in 2005 with Katie Feenstra. During this time the student population has about doubled. I know we talk about the attendance at football games and Men's basketball, etc. Where are the students? This is a refrain I've been hearing all year in all sports.

She's lost all confidence in her outside shot. She passed on some open 3s. She's shooting @ 25% from 3. I guess Coach is getting her back in the scheme of things slowly after her ankle injury. We need her to be a producer as well. I say jack it up and let Avery and Tolu go for it.
