Time now to shift gears bigtime from an overmatched NAIA opponent to a Big South rival in Asheville. And interestingly enough our first opponent plays the Bulldogs Sunday afternoon.

Could this possibly be the earliest conference game in NCAA basketball history?

[Cider Jim]

Asheville plays Montreat on Sunday afternoon. It wil be interesting to see if they play better against them than we did.

[jcmanson]

This could turn out to be a huge game later in the season if we could somehow squeak it out.

[krh44]

I thought the time was a typo but I guess I will be taking a long & late lunch Tuesday

[Fumblerooskies]

This should be fun. UNCA lost a ton of talent and experience...and Eddie does not have the best track record of success with a young team like they have. Based on what I saw Friday from us...I could see us win by 8-11 points.

[olldflame]

Interesting that UNCA is playing Montreat today. I wouldn't put much stock in comparing the victory margins though.

This will be my first all-day college bball event since I started working from home. I was excited about March, but now I've got this too.

This will be my first all-day college bball event since I started working from home. I was excited about March, but now I've got this too.

Working from home on days like that is great! I have done it a ton of times but my latest manager doesn't give laptops to Contractors even though I have worked for this group 2 times. I have my own laptop of course but without access to the network I can't work remotely. I may just stay home or come home early on Tuesday though. I want to see this game.

[WWJFD]

why is the game at 2PM on a Tuesday. Did I miss the idea behind this.

[TIMSCAR20]

The game is part of ESPN's 24 hours of college hoops coverage. That is why the big south moved this game up so early in the season.

[Iwasneverhere]

i'll be there

[JDUB]

i have class at 3:30.. i guess i'll either miss it or be really late. its a 2.5 hour class, but i'm watching this game

[sweetnahmah1]

I have class at 2, a paper is due. I have class at 335, a huge test. I'm screwed, can't watch this one.

[Kolzilla41]

The game was at 7 until George got hurt and had surgery if I remember correctly. I will be watching by either ESPN 360 or IPTV in my office.

[SuperJon]

No, the game was originally scheduled for noon, then was moved to two.

[jcmanson]

Does anyone else have the feeling that Seth is just going to go off on his first national appearance?

[LUconn]

I have a feeling I will get sick of hearing about Stephen.

[LUconn]

Gameday! I'm so pumped.

Article from the Asheville paper:

ASHEVILLE – ESPN might have been expecting 7-foot-9 Kenny George when the sports network talked to UNC Asheville about scheduling today's nationally televised basketball game against Liberty — part of its 24 Hours of Hoops programming.

Instead, viewers will watch a very young — but certainly athletic — Bulldogs team take on Big South Conference foe Liberty in the type of game Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach likens to a tournament championship.

[jcmanson]

Yeah me too- pumped. Will we wear our red jerseys again or break out the blues?

[CMII]

UNCA with out George looks like a bottom two team with Coastal. This is one we need to get!

[jcmanson]

After the first game you'd also have to throw High Point in the mix at the bottom as well. Although it's still very early.

[Rooster Cogburn]

The Curry II Coming out party!

[LUconn]

One more game to go! Here's hoping to an Iowa/KU blowout. I'll be cursing the TV if the end of a women's game gets in the way of the start of our game.
