Final Recap
Great win for the Doggers. Bulldogs improve to 2-1 in the Big South and have now won two straight games after beating Western Carolina on Wednesday. Asheville will travel to Gardner-Webb this Wednesday. GWU apparently lost to VMI. We had some miss-information by the PA announcer. Anyway, Dogs shoot 49 percent for the game. Augst leads the way with 24 points. Primm with 18, Williams with 12, and Stubbs with 11 points. Eric Stubbs has really been playing well since getting into the starting line-up. Dogs 23-for-36 (64 percent) from the line tonight. The three-point shot kept CSU in the game late. They hit seven 3's on the night to just three for Asheville but the Dogs hit the job on the boards. Out-rebounding CSU 42-36. Coach B, on the radio show giving praise for a great group effort. Hopefully the Dogs are hitting their stride now that conference play is starting for real. Bulldogs 6-9 on the season win their first road game of the year. Hopefully the women can follow by picking up their first road win here on Monday. The Men are off til Wednesday. I hope you enjoyed this blog. Hopefully we can do it again sometime. Dogs win 76-65. Good night.

Final Media time out 3:34 left in the game?Asheville 61, CSU 52
Coach Radebaugh calls his final timeout with 6:51 left to play although he didn't want to. A CSU player was trapped in the corner. Someone on the CSU bench screamed timeout and the officials gave it to them. CSU pulls to within 57-47 with a 9-0 run before Stubbs ends the run with a hoop, but Bailey scores to bring it back to a 10 point game. Bucs had a chance to get within 10 but missed and Augst converts on the other end to get the lead back to 12. Augst has 20 points tonight.

News reaches us that Gardner-Webb defeated VMI tonight. GWU is Asheville's next opponent on Wednesday in Boiling Springs. Will someone please call the conference office and ask them why we no longer have a Coastal/Charleston Southern road trip. I thought we were supposed to be conserving gas. Augst and Primm hit back-to-back baskets, Dogs by 19 (57-38). CSU uses its 4th time out, they have one remaining with 9:50 to play. CSU's Coach Barclay Radebaugh is not pleased with the officiating tonight. He is taking every opportunity to voice his opinion. Quietly CSU is on a 5-0 run to bring the score to 57-43. Let's not quit playing yet.
6th Media time out 11:15 left in the game?Asheville 51, CSU 35
Warren has been CSU's best player tonight. He hits another three and has 13 points. Stubbs gets a hoop to end a 5-0 Buccaneer run. Martin answers with a basket to make it 47-35. Stubbs hits an amazing one-handed shot after a Primm air ball but it's was just after the horn. Officials rule a shot clock violation and no basket but wow was it ever impressive, easily the coolest thing that statically never happened. Thanks to Ryan Riddle for texting and letting me some one is watching. Don't worry, I will keep you posted. Primm hits his second three-pointer of the night, Dogs are up 51-35 and appear to be in control. The Dogs beat CSU three times last season.

Bulldogs score the first three points out of the locker room hand have their largest lead at 37-24. Issues at the scorer's table the clock continued to run while CSU was lining up for free throws. They have gone to the monitor twice to resolve timing issues. Ridenhour picks up his third foul with 17:19 left and the Dogs up 13. Sean Smith replaces Ridenhour and hits a a jumper for a 15 point lead. August to the basket time out Charleston Southern. It extends to a media timeout. CSU only has two time outs remaining.

Welcome to Charleston for the Bulldogs' Big South opener at Charleston Southern. With the women's game being played earlier today at Coastal, Coach Blose decided to come on down and support the men's team. I will be giving some thoughts on the game as it is going on. You can listen to the game on 1310/970 WISE or just checking back. I will post at every media timeout.
