at Winthrop, 3/2

[gwebb1994]

Season finale against a thorn in Craft’s side, who we haven’t swept in the regular season since 2014, his first at GW.

WU pushed HPU to the limit Wednesday before losing in OT. They’re locked into the 4 seed with nothing to really play for. We still have an outside shot at the 2 seed, but frankly, our draw would be worse as a 2 than at 3. 2 likely gets RU or LW, 3 likely gets PC or CSU, although there are a gazillion scenarios that I’ve put a link below to.

I want to see better intensity for 40 minutes on the defensive end in this one.

Stieber with a stone cold 3 with 3 seconds left to win 65-64. First season sweep of WU since 2014. We finish the season winning our last three and 5 of last 6. Solid momentum heading into conference tournament play.

So, our opponent Friday night at 8 will be either PC or CSU based on result of HPU/LW game just tipping off. We got the 3, UNCA won rather easily at RU earlier and sealed the 2 seed. They’ll get CSU or Upstate Friday night at 6.

So we’re on the other side of the bracket from WU, RU, HPU, and LW regardless. Not a bad draw at all IMHO.

We get PC, Napper hit a layup with .6 left and Shortwood beat HPU 74-72.

So Friday it will be:

8 Upstate/9 RU vs. 1 UNCA
5 LW vs. 4 WU

7 CSU vs. 2 UNCA
6 PC vs. 3 GW
