20? Thats it? I was thinking more like 25 or 30. The dogs have no chance. Probably be over by halftime.

is there going to be a freshman game?

Not putting the D on Lutz, let him get his, stop the others.

Going to be a nice DII tournament this year.

[Orange and Brown]

This should be a good game. I was planning on watching this one but some things came up.
I'll say
VC 71
Athens 68

Thats the difference between this athens team & last year. They have other players who can score. 6'3 so. Eli Chubb had 15 in the opener. 6'4 so. Justin Hines was in double figures vs chesapeake & jr. Dalton Cozart was as well & is capable of scoring in the 20's if you collapse on Lutz & defend the paint.

Yes

Vc in a buzzer beater!!!!! live bye the 3 die bye the 3!!!

Griff is simply fantastic.... VC really good. The key is Athens has football tough Robert D and Hines that love to be physical upfront. Very tough They have been in front of huge crowds before and will not get rattled. Cozart's system is very hard to match up with. Very very close knit team. Athens will be even better when their injured guard comes back....Look for a great game. VC heavily favored. So many pieces for the Dogs. Loved their effort at last week's games. Fun to watch

Depends. Will those danged "Glouster refs" be calling the game.

It was over at halftime last year in Athens. I don't see this one going that way. VC's 1st road game and 1st real challenge.

VC 68
Athens 57

Is Lutz a junior or senior?

[93Bulldog]

Senior

[Ground Buck]

NY made some runs at VC after falling behind early. Without some of the phantom calls that game could have been a lot closer. So I'm doubting that VC is double digits better than Athens. I could even see Athens winning, especially in Athens.

[SkiPopLover]

VC is very talented overall & the best defensive team VC has had in awhile, but we lack a true elite defender to give Lutz issues. Bartoe can cause some issues but lacks size with Lutz. Yates can use his length, but Lutz is a too quick. As long as VC rebounds well, they'll have it sealed for about a 10 point game. But if Athens gets offensive rebounds, like last year @ VC, it'll be close.

58-48 in favor of VC with VC pulling away due to free throws. Lutz will drop 25 points. At least.

I agree with you on the close game. But every fan in the world argues about terrible calls in a loss. Maybe if Nelsonville didn't air ball at least 10 shots it would've been closer.
