Our friend, Allen Worrell has offered up the first weather update from The Hill :

Winter weather has commenced here in Hillsville. Seems to be a light snow/rain mix. It is 20 degrees

15 minutes and we add Miss Ervin to the mix !

Furman University is underway !!

πŸ‘»Ghostbusters moment with the jump ball…

Go SUU, Go Duke and Go Furman !!!

Media TO in the 3rd, Duke 66, Pitt 20 & SUU 32-27.

Media TO in the 1st – Furman tied 7-7 @

End of the 3rd quarter – SUU trying to pull away, 44-35 βž• Duke 76-30.

End of 1st….Furman University 19 -15 as our Lady Cav has 10 minutes and 3 points

Alyssa picked up her second foul early in the 2nd quarter and will need to sit for a bit.

Kinda wild that two games that started seconds apart also ended that way !

Duke & SUU win and now the focus is 100% on Furman University.

Alyssa only played 2 minutes in the second quarter and if the winning streak for the ‘Dins is to continue we need a second half rally…

70 – 62 victory for Ervin and Friends after they outscored the Bulldogs 22-11 in the final quarter !!! Five straight in the Win column….

Stand alone story later but we have to get back down the Mountain β›° now for the Mens game…
