Well, a chance to sweep a struggling Winthrop team that has lost three in a row. WU is the best FT shooting team in the league at 74.5%, we are the worst at 61.2%. Let's hope the game doesn't come down to that. Talford, McMahon, and Hightower all in the top three in the league in scoring, while our leading scorer Nicholas is 14th. We need to protect the ball, which we have corrected from earlier this season, and somehow just get the FT% up to 67% at least.
WU will come in ready since they are fighting for a bye spot. We've got a chance to vault up the chain and stay out of the 4/5 game in Charlotte. A "Black Out" at Porter, I really wish we'd go back to the black uniforms we had in 2019 with the white lettering and numerals, these ones now with the red just aren't sharp at all. Big game and a chance to push the streak up to 8 before heading to that freak show of a city in the mountains Saturday.

Just hit a 73% shooting buzzsaw in that first half, cut it all the way down to 5 after trailing by 27 with 4:40 left in the first half, lost 86-78. Good thing is LW lost at Upstate, so no change in standings between 3-7. Now let’s hope UNCA plays a 3 OT game tomorrow night at RU. That ESPNU game next Thursday here against LW is likely for 3rd.
Women keep rolling, 68-56 win, a little challenge. 15-0 now.

Things didn't go our way tonight, but they showed some fight in the second half.
The women, again!

Speaking of the women: They're up to #16 in the latest College Insider mid-major poll.
