High Points net rating was 87. The highest rated Sunbelt team is Marshall at 118. That was a big win. This team is fun to pull for. I hope they can keep having fun.....winning.
Validates my thought. HP is a very talented squad.
They play solid defense. Move the ball well and can get after it on the boards. Solid win today.

Kerns’ best-coached game of the season. Pulled all the right strings in the final two minutes and overtime. Loved his rotation, too. Brim’s performance should not be overlooked. Plays solid defense. His offense will materialize with time. Dodd, Wilson and Jennings were masterful. Good complementary performances from Banks and Marcus. On to the Coastal game.

Dodd has impressed me the most. He is a vastly different dude this year offensively. Last year he seemed so tentative to take a shot.

My only complaint was parking was $20. I pulled in right behind the bus by chance and they came in the back way. I needed to park there as some Level 2 chargers have been installed. The parking folks did not make me pay since I was so early and I explained I needed to charge my EV but that seems just a bit high for parking in Hickory on a Sunday on a campus that is closed for the semester.

I know we have bills to pay.

If he can get his feet set, he is a decent 3 point shooter. Two of those 3s were as clean going through the net as possibly could be.
If 4 can continue to hit 3s like yesterday, we may be able to finish top 5. 4;had a couple that he should not have taken. However, overall, we need those two to open up floor for 13 to drive and open lanes for 3, 44 and others.

Complaining about not actually paying the $20 parking fee so you can charge your EV using a level 2 charger….

Not to be mean, but he never misses a chance to tell us that he rides trains and drives an EV. Sometimes inserts it out of nowhere. Anyways…

I would almost bet the parking fee was for LR as well. I could definitely be wrong though.

Just think, if they would bump the parking fee up to $40, you wouldn't have to waste your time on a crap level 2 charger and they could install a coupme of the big boys. Then you could get that baby juiced up with a supercharger.

I am not sure if they would have made me pay but I really did need to park there. I would have paid it had they asked but I do think $20 was too much for parking. Hickory is not some bid city lacking parking. I can see $5 maybe $10 but parking should not be the same as admission in a city like Hickory.

I was actually pleased with what it did as I was there almost 4 hours since I arrived within a few minutes of the doors opening it seemed. Lvl 2 is perfect for this situation. That parking is for football, basketball, maybe some live drama at the theater and folks working on campus during the week. All of that can be done with lvl 2 and not put so much strain on the electrical grid. LVL 3 is a lot more electricity all at once. That is needed when driving long distance and you do not want to or can't eat while charging. And it was only 13 cent a KWh. I had $3.85 in energy costs. That is about as cheap as it gets beyond charging at home with solar.

It does seem parking was free at CVCC. I did not have an EV two years ago and their chargers are as far as they can be from the basketball arena on the CVCC campus but I think they are the same price, and one gets a few steps in walking across the CVCC campus.

I thought that might be the case but it seems the folks taking money had App State gear on. Maybe LR trusts us to be honest and that maybe have been why the folks taking money were not worring about one car that got there a few minutes before they opened up officially.

I was thinking maybe L-R took parking and concessions and made the rent for the arena low enough to make it work on our end. I am still surprised LR did this for us.

I paid the electric bill. It was $3.85 and 13.## cent per kWH. I assumed LR paid to install the chargers and then sells the electricity at cost. The chargers was part of the EVConnect charging network so install cost could have been paid by EVConnect. There is a high school on the other side of campus that may or may not be connected to LR but they had free chargers but they also had pylons up that I did not cross. High School football was there Sunday and they may closed off that parking lot then or maybe it is always closed on weekends.

App State offers free charging in River Street deck. They charge up their EV police cars and have 5-6 spots for anyone else. It is nice. I would be happy to pay App State for the electricity but there is not option beyond making a donation. I know a professor that uses the charges daily and hardly ever has to purchase gasoline. He has a PHEV.
