The Highlanders reportedly made 17/18 free throws in a win over a 6-3 Elon team. Including 8/8 from Ed Polite. I didnt actually see this happen, so I have doubt, but thats what the box score is saying. We are looking up right now and things are trending in the right direction. People are getting healthy, defense is playing pretty well, and we are making free throws. We will give the Big South hell this year, and we are winning some decent out of conference games.

I was traveling but followed the game on the internet. It's true, 17-18 free throws, or at least I know that the team missed only 1 free throw all night. The Highs' defense was stifling, and the offense steady (not overpowering, but very good nonetheless and significantly better than during November). The next two games will give us a good feel for the team's potential - unc Wilmington then West Virginia. Both solid teams. WVU is outstanding, and it would take a perfect game for us to beat them, but if we hang around, it will give us instant cred as we get closer to conference.
This team has great potential. I look forward to the rest of the season. All Highlander fans should.
Update: VMI just beat Charleston Southern. We handled VMI fairly easily. Hopefully this bodes well for how we match up with folks in our conference.
