Sunday was a great win for the UNC Asheville men’s basketball team. The Bulldogs played very well in beating the defending Big South champions Radford, 92-84. Ironically, the same score that the Highlanders beat the Bulldogs in last year’s Big South Conference semifinal tournament game.
It was a total team effort in the victory as once again Asheville had five players in double figures. Matt Dickey scored 26 points, despite only taking eight shots in the game. He was 10-of-12 from the free throw line. How about the play of freshman Jaron Lane with a career-best 17 points and eight rebounds? He really gave the Bulldogs a lift off the bench. John Williams is blocking every shot in sight it seems. His next one will make him the school’s all-time leader in that category.
Another big weekend is ahead for Coach Biedenbach’s club. Asheville plays at Charleston Southern Thursday night and Coastal Carolina on Saturday afternoon. Two teams that beat the Bulldogs at home in early January. Each game becomes bigger as we head toward March.
