BURN THE HORSE
 |
| UNC-Asheville vs. UALR 5:20 p.m. tonight Dayton, Ohio TruTV |
So the statewide sent the columnist (his first time to work at a UALR game this season) and a photographer, but left the beat writer at home (no dateline, AP quotes from presser)? Maybe he'll pull double duty tonight. However, that might interfere with social plans. At least if the BW is not there he won't have to worry about getting stranded at the arena with no ride back to the hotel after the game (Thanks Nelson for driving me back to the hotel last year).
Time to move on.Game preview from the Asheville Citizen Times:

This is the first time this season UALR has chartered to a game, but they have done it at least once in each of the past five or six seasons. Last year they chartered to South Alabama (the night Mike Smith got hurt).
