The CTC kicked off last night with two pretty good games, both close wins by the favorites. #7 VMI held off #10 Radford, 55-53, while #8 High Point outlasted #9 Gardner-Webb, 60-53.
10 of the 19 contestants hit both games. Only RSmith hit neither. J and Lohse can breathe a big sigh of relief, as their finalist pick, VMI, survived its first-round game. The Keydets will now move on to the quarterfinals tomorrow night against 2nd-seeded Coastal Carolina. High Point takes tonight off before travelling to #1 UNC-Asheville tomorrow in the quarters.
BIG SOUTH SCORES:
6 – Doogan, Gersh, J, Lohse, Lynch, Mac, Rikey, RDoc, Scoot, Teddy
3 – Alexi, Bry, Dave, Gross, Lil Lohse, Primm, Waters
0 – RSmith
* – these are, obviously, also the Overall Standings and the Day One scores, so congrats to the 10 people who can add a quick and easy Day One championship to their trophy case.
