A Sea Of Red

On Saturday, we face the biggest threat to our Big South reign. We are currently 3-2 against High Point in the last two years, splitting the regular season series and us winning in the conference finals last year.

Its the Panthers v. Flames for Big South control, Round 1

Game is Saturday.

Another instance of where thinking about two different things at one time while posting is not a good idea.

I think that a major key is being able to get out after the shooters on the perimeter so that they can't get any good open looks. ANyone that saw our two losses to them knows that if they get open...its a long night...or day for that matter

I will not be surprised at all if HP ends te streak this year. They have a lot of experience coming back and we definately lack leadership on the court.

Should be an interesting game. Hopefully, the girls will be able to win this one. I really like what I heard about their last game against Charleston. Seems like they had some drive and determination to put them away.

I like our chances down there this year better than last year...this year we have a healthy Megan Frazee and the Big South's other Katie has graduated. I agree, the key will be the perimeter and guarding Leslie Cook. Anyone know if Raven Truslow transferred and is playing for anyone else?

Will this game have video streaming like the Men's game had the other night at HPU?

UNCA just beat High Point 72-69 last night in Asheville.

im guessing no video since it is a road game.

smoothie, I know FTN is not covering the game bro since I kinda work for them (although they certainly don't run every decision by me ), but I was talking about HPU streaming their own video. I watched the men's game last night for a while until it kept freezing on me and I finally gave up and went back to Jerry Edwards and the live stats.

All the Big South Women's games should be free through "The Edge."

I thought it was just me.

(see my rant in the game thread about connection speed)

Well hey FSN and GMTM will be down there callin the action for us on the radio side

My analysis on this one is that High Point is a perimeter shooting team. I think that if we can get the guards to close out on the perimeter and force some bad shots, they would have to do more inside where we have the advantage heightwise.
