My viewing habits: I watched the battle of the Big South, Coastal Carolina at UNC Asheville. This was a rematch of last season’s Big South Tournament final, which Asheville won. Asheville won again, 88-81, and barring an upset in the conference tournament, should find itself in the NCAA Tournament. Once there, it can be a threat.
The Bulldogs are a senior-dominated team with two nifty guards in Matt Dickey and J.P. Pimm and an undersized forward (6-3) in Chris Stephenson, who had a tremendous game last night. The sixth man is Keith Hornsby, son of musician and sometimes Celtics national anthem performer, Bruce Hornsby. They are well-coached by veteran Eddie Biedenbach. The one problem: They have no height, so they could get crushed on the boards and inside if they get the wrong matchup in March. If they get the right matchup, their shooting (49 percent) and smarts will make them dangerous.
