Second time around the Big South

What we did in the first half of conference play got us a 5-2 record but it means absolutely nothing to every team we will face in the second half. Teams that we beat will play us tougher the second time around and as for High Point and Liberty, we have some unsettled business with them. This was very true for us as we went in to Rock Hill, SC on Saturday to play Winthrop. After we beat them so badly at home, we had to expect that they would make some adjustments and that they would be a much tougher team at home. They did exactly that. We had to battle for 40 minutes on Saturday and we left SC with a 3 point win. Kelli D had a major part in the win scoring a career high 31 points. Again, if I had a vote for Big South Player of the week, she'd get it this week! Our post game has been pretty much unstoppable lately and our guards are hitting just enough shots to make the defense have a tough decision to make on how to defend our team. If we can just find a way to get back to defending the way we did for the large part of this season, we are going to be a tough team to beat in our 6 remaining regular season games. Tuesday night is a huge game. High Point comes to the Dedmon Center and we owe them one. A win will put us in a tie for first place in the conference. A win will also extend our home win streak to 10 in a row. This game is a big one. Tuesday night at 7 in the Dedmon Center...don't miss out!
