Western Carolina game

Back on the court vs the Catamounts tonight. We're 5-4 they are 2-6. Obviously this is one we SHOULD win, I just hope we don't come out sleepwalking. All 6 of their losses have come to pretty respectable programs. Let's hope we get a nice road win tonight.

Looks like the boys got some good R&R in at the hotel pool and hot tub last night.

They should be well rested :lol:

Relatively favored....

It's early but our RPI is 254 compared to WCU @ 204.
Earlier I saw the spread at -4, but noticed it expanded to -6.

ESPN gives us a 60% chance to win.

Part of the reason I looked all of this up, was I didn't want to be disappointed if we lost, aka justification, but either way, their record doesn't tell their whole story, but I think we squeak out a win and don't cover the spread.

Remember, RPI is more about who you play than how you play.

Kenpom, which is the opposite, has us at 186 and Western at 278.

This is a game Fox needs to win. We really need a road win to build some confidence off of our home successes.

Watching on the 3. May have to turn the sound off as the play by play guy is exhausting. Doesn't even stop to breathe.

Saw a end zone shot. I think their whole band is there.

If we play well in the second half, we will win. If not it will be another disappointing road loss.

Haven't been able to watch, but I remember last year they slowed down the game on us a ton and won because of that. Low scoring first half makes me think they are having success with a similar strategy again tonight. Hope Fox makes adjustments at the break, we are more talented.

They can’t miss and a free throw is a 50/50 proposition for us

Not going to win many games shooting sub 50% from the free throw line and 16 turnovers.
