NC-Asheville at Ohio State

At 7'7" Kenny George gets all the attention on this Asheville team, but this team has some players. He is however a difference maker. NC Asheville lost only to Eastern Tennessee State, North Carolina, Tennessee and Winthrop with him playing. He had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks against the Heels. He had 7, 13 and 4 against Tennessee as well as 16, 13 and 3 vs. SC - a game they won. They played at two of the top teams in the country in Tennessee and North Carolina and held their own, dropping both by less than this pointspread. Ohio State got off quickly at 12-3, but really slid and finished just 7-10. Disappointed on being a bubble team that was left out in the cold means getting up for UNC Ashville might be quite a chore, so we will ride the dog here.
