Feb. 2015
Not much on the recruiting front this month, we still need a PF to replace the one we'll be losing after this season, right now we've got a schollie offer to a 2 star recruit, better than nothing.
Games
2/4 vs. Longwood - W 64-62 (OT) (12-10, 3-7) -- We had a 10 point halftime lead and almost lost it. It took a David Bemis 3 pointer to even get us to overtime, where Dennis Cowans had a rebound and putback with 5 seconds left, and defensively we didn't allow them to get off a shot. Hopefully this win will spark these guys to a strong finish of the season.
2/7 at SIU Edwardsville - W 83-70 (13-10, 4-7) -- A strong start in this one gave us a 16 point halftime lead, and we shot 58%, never tested in this one despite committing 21 turnovers. David Bemis led us with 19 points.
2/11 vs. Coastal Carolina - W 95-74 (14-10, 5-7) -- We absolutely rolled in the second half, shooting 53.3% from the field and committing only 9 turnovers. 12 players saw the floor tonight, and 11 scored. That will be huge for some of the guys that normally don't get to play much.
2/14 at High Point - W 70-59 (15-10, 6-7) -- We continue to roll after getting some favorable calls to start the second half which led to the ejection of a High Point player (2 technicals). Elias Dykstra led us off the bench with 18 points and 7 rebounds.
2/18 vs. Charleston Southern - W 83-76 (16-10, 7-7) -- The streak is 5 now, as we beat South division leader Charleston Southern tonight. This game took FOREVER to play, as 50 fouls were called, leading to 80 free throws. Yikes! They had 2 guys foul out, while Dennis Cowans fouled out for us. We had 5 guys in double figures, led by Bobbie Robertson with 16.
2/21 at Liberty - W 90-78 (17-10, 8-7) -- This was a come from behind victory, as we picked up the pace in the second half, forcing 20 second half turnovers, and 26 for the game. Bobbie Robertson was a man possessed this game, as he had 22 points, 3 boards, and 3 assists.
2/25 vs. UNC Asheville - W 73-45 (18-10, 9-7) -- Total control in this one, as we allowed them just 18 points, forced 20 turnovers, and they shot just 30%. A great way to finish off the regular season. Bobbie Robertson again led us with 17 points, 8 boards, and 4 assists. Chris Jones had 16 off the bench. We go into the conference tournament with a winning record this season, unlike last year when we went into it 13-16, although we do still have a road non-conference game on the schedule before the Big South Tourney.
