LU matches up well with this team, however, I have some concerns with potential officating issues tonight. Let's face it, the big south and espn would love to showcase the KG-freakshow on Saturday. Afterall, it's hard not to be at least mildly curious the first time that you see the guy play. So, the smart money has to be on Ashville winning the trip to the dance.

Having said that, It's gonna be much harder than it should be to pull this thing off tonight, but if we do, expect the momentum from that acheivement to carry over to a big W on Saturday and a trip to the NCAA's.

I dont know if i will have my salvation revoked but I have to go to hooters to watch the game.

If I wasn't sick and my wife wasn't 9 months pregnant, I might be tempted to join you on Battlefield Blvd. tonight. Alas, it will be JE for me!

I'm wearing the same boxers, t-shirt and shorts that I wore on Tuesday night. I also wore the same thing to work today that I had on Tuesday. No, I'm not superstitious (sp?).

I disagree... It is MUCH better for the Big South (in terms of appearances etc.) if LU wins and Winthrop hosts the finals. BSC does not want the championship in Justice Center.

Kenny George is a big deal no matter what and the ratings are jumping that much because of him... Furthermore, they'll find a way to showcase him in the NIT if Asheville loses.

:roll: Dude you are nuts.
Asheville may get into the NIT but only because of this new tourney that will take thwe good teams first. It's a moot point about Kenny George driving ratings tonight, because much like the game in the vines he will se little or no time!
We will come out in a big hurry and he will not be able to play!!!!!!!!!!!1

If Asheville doesn't win the Big South 'ship, they WILL be in the NIT. The NIT now takes all regular season conference champs if they don't make the NCAA's.

I'm nuts? Actually, Asheville was guaranteed a bid in the NIT due to being the #1 seed and holding the tie break over Winthrop. Regular season champion in the Big South gets an auto-bid.

We'll see how much KG plays, and thanks for making my point...That the attraction of seeing KG is little or none. If the BSC wants anyone to win this game, its liberty.

So far in the tourney this year, ALL higher seeds have won. Let's change that.

Also, Smithson is your leading scorer, and we got him in trouble with fouls early and shut him down. Look for us to go at him early and often to do the same tonight.

MAN!!! the LUnatics are VERY LOUD!

GO GUYS!

by the way, if anyone watching this on tv has a computer, microphone, and the ability to stream: please do it and call the game for me. I'll await your brilliant help and relpy!

haha...your talking an awful lot, we'll see. Smithson still isn't healthy but much healthier than the last time you guys saw him. Should be a good game.

kenny is in and Richie pulls Ace and goes with 5 guards. 3 by Smitty and a bucket by George. 8-4 Flames.
