It's Homecoming in the mountain freak town and we try to rebound against clearly the best team in the league this season. They handled RU with ease tonight in the Tim Craft Center 63-54, and it could have been much worse. The key for us to keep this game close is to defend Pember with our three headed frontcourt monster of Reid, Dufeal, and Badmus. Concerning that Dufeal is not 100%, he only played 9 minutes against Winthrop. We need him to give us at least 20 minutes Saturday to stay in it.
We had them beat here and let them up off the deck and they burned us. We need to bring the defensive intensity we had in the second half rallying against WU for all 40 minutes in this one. Stealing one up at Kimmel would make up for the Winthrop loss and might let us sneak up to as high as 2nd perhaps.
The women host UNCA after a minor test in Rock Hill. UNCA has won 4 of 5, but has only won 3 times away from home all season. This game might be another test for our ladies. Might. There is a remarkable 4 way tie at 6-9 for the 6 seed and bye on the women's side. I fully expect them to bring max effort.
