So far so good through the first half! Looks like we got some bodies back today. Must have gotten Ali and Mangum there last night. Should definitely help with the depth issues we ran into late yesterday. I'm convinced we just ran out of gas yesterday with guys missing and we are in fact the better team.

Hemphill has 6 in the half. He had 8 yesterday. I've been really impressed with him making the most of his opportunity to start the last 2 games.

Hemphill has 6 in the half. He had 8 yesterday. I've been really impressed with him making the most of his opportunity to start the last 2 games. Agreed. But I just tuned in - totally missed yesterday's game completely. Read about it. I see Ali, Mangum and Jeffers have gotten a little playing time. Read it's due to covid protocols. Glad the protocols didn't take them out for 14 or more days. Also hope the coaching staff has figured out how to deal with the Asheville system, which Coach Jones said their defense is modeled to rapidly get them back into games (down big) in a short period of time. Hopefully we have figured out our scheme to blunt that rapid comeback. Because it does look very good for us now (up 16), but it also looked good for us at this same time during yesterday's game.

Well, they didn't make it easy on us. We definitely struggled against their press late. But, all in all, we put together a solid game and rebounded with a nice 10 point win! Glad to get the split on the road! Now, let's go take care of business at home vs. GWebb!

Dominated the boards, kept our Turnovers under 20 (15 to be exact), limited UNCA's 3 pointers, and their FG% (40%). Great composure at the end. We are back on track.

Don't want to jinx us, but we are a fluke layup miss and a fluke 3 make (opposing team) away from being perfect in conference.

The pressure is off, Asheville just handed Winthrop their first loss. They're beatable! And even better, they're beatable by a team we could beat at full strength. We have a chance to close the gap now!
