Here's the game thread for tonight. Longwood started out the season at 3-12, but are on a bit of a hot streak right now. Maybe they are starting to figure things out. But I still love the Highs tonight. Game Preview | Game Notes | Live Stats | Live Video | Live Audio

Travis Fields is sooooooooooooo fast. That play on defense was ridiculous.

Travis Fields is sooooooooooooo fast. That play on defense was ridiculous. Yeah, he's amazing. excited to see him and Carlik play guard together for three more years after this one is done. Alright, we've got the lead at the half. Ugly game, but Leroy Butts doing well and Donald Hicks may have gotten his shot back.

It's funny we are a lot better than some of these Big South teams, but it's conference play and we're in the #1 spot...so we're going to get everyone's best shot. We need to clean up a few areas for sure, but it's a great sign that we can hold on in these tight games and pull out wins when we're not playing our best.

I agree. Definitely not our best, but hopefully we learn something. The Big South is maybe a little extra crazy this year with so many teams who could win the tournament. It has always been a wild card league, except for the Greg Marshall years, but this year seems to me to be a little tighter than usual.

If you want to be the #1 seed you have to take care of business at home. We are doing just that.

What is the news on the injury front? What was Bolstad's injury and he is back soon, correct?
Longwood has been a thorn in our side since they joined the league, and they just beat Liberty so I will take it.
The best news from tonight is we won with Ed only scoring 6 points. I think one of the coaching staff's main concerns is finding offense other than Polite and Jones. It was there earlier in the year but seems to be harder to find right now. Great to see Phillips coming on, he is really helping out. Hicks needs to find his stroke. Fields is finding he can get that 10-15 foot pull up, and that is his shot. It was his shot in High school and now in college he is figuring out how to create it.
Carlik Jones (will be) and Ed Polite are some of the best to ever wear the Highlander uniform, we will be a championship team if somebody else emerges in the second half of the year.
