A Sea Of Red

Lady Flames tip off tomorrow in Boone. We have never beaten App State, but we also haven't played them in almost 30 years.

And it's an 11:30 a.m. game!

Probably a field trip game so expect a very loud crowd tomorrow morning

In the second half, we are currently up 33-22 with 5:42 left to play.

We've had 4 TOs, and are currently being outrebounded.

The difference in this game is we are 4/7 from 3-point range (as opposed to 2/8 for App State) and they are 10/15 from the FT line and we're currently 1/4.

I think that was the second quarter.

74-68 Lady Flames. Good start to the season.

Definitely take the win. ASU picked 8th in their conference and considering they were outplayed by Lenoir-Rhyne in their ex. game (yet won 51-45) I gotta think coach is not too pleased, especially with the D effort. Had L-R made their free throws they would have won. We'll have a better picture of the team moving forward after the Monday Elon game, who beat us at all phases of the game last year.

That's right. I forgot they made the switch this year.
