2008-09 UNC ASHEVILLE MEN’S BASKETBALL GAMENOTES
UNC Asheville (8-11 Overall, 4-4 BSC) vs. Presbyterian (8-11 Overall, 5-3 BSC)
Game #20
Saturday, Jan. 24/7 p.m.
WISE Radio (1310-AM)/SportSouth TV
Justice Center/Asheville, N.C.
UNC Asheville Hosts Presbyterian on SportSouth: UNC Asheville returns home to
begin a two-game homestand when the Bulldogs host Big South Conference newcomer
Presbyterian at Justice Center. The game will be televised regionally by SportSouth. This
is the first time UNC Asheville has played the Blue Hose since the 1977-78 season when
both teams were NAIA. Presbyterian is not eligible for the upcoming Big South
Tournament but is eligible for the regular-season title. The Bulldogs are trying to break a
two-game losing streak that occurred last weekend. Asheville lost at Winthrop 87-67 last
Saturday night and fell at Coastal Carolina on Monday, 64-57. The Bulldogs host
Winthrop Wednesday night at Justice Center starting at 7 p.m.
The Series: This will be the 14th meeting between Presbyterian and UNC Asheville but
this is the first time the schools have squared off since the 1977-78 campaign. The teams
played most of their games in the 1970’s, including a District 6 Playoff game at Justice
Center in 1973 as the Bulldogs won 106-98. Asheville won both meetings in the 1977-78
season as it won 86-78 in Clinton and 75-60 at Justice Center.
A Tough Trip to South Carolina: It was a lost weekend for the Bulldogs in the state of
South Carolina last weekend as they dropped two Big South Conference games on the
road. Last Saturday, defending Big South champ Winthrop rolled to an 87-67 win over
the Dogs. Winthrop jumped out to a 14-2 lead after five minutes and the Bulldogs could
get no closer than eight points the rest of the game. UNC Asheville was led by a career-
high 23 points from freshman guard Matt Dickey. Reid Augst and John Williams
finished with 12 points each. The Bulldogs had a tough time shooting the entire night as
they shot just 35 percent (18-of-52) from the field. On Monday, Coastal Carolina held off
a determined Asheville comeback to post a 64-57 win. The Chants scored the first seven
points of the game and led 35-21 at halftime. The Bulldogs stormed back to tie the game
on three occasions but could never get the lead. Augst led Asheville with 15 points, while
Dickey finished with 12 points. Sean Smith added 11 points. Shooting was again a
problem for the Bulldogs as they shot just 36 percent (20-of-56) from the field and 28
percent (6-of-21) from beyond the arc.

Mighty Matt: Freshman guard Matt Dickey has really played well for the Bulldogs in
the five games. The rookie tallied a then career-high 18 points at Gardner-Webb on Jan.
7. He then scored nine points, including the tying basket at the end of regulation at
Radford on Jan. 10. Dickey helped spark a Bulldog comeback against High Point last
week with 15 points and career-best seven rebounds. There weren’t many bright spots at
Winthrop Saturday with the exception of Dickey. The Alabama native kept Asheville
within striking distance with a career-best 23 points. He went 6-of-8 from the field, 4-of-
5 from beyond the arc and 7-of-9 at the free throw line. Dickey was named Big South
Conference Freshman of the Week on Monday for his play last week. He tallied 12
points, collected five rebounds, had three steals and three assists at Coastal Carolina.
Matt is averaging 12.1 points per game in league play and 12.9 points in the last six
games.
Eddie Gets Win #100 in Big South Play: Asheville head coach Eddie Biedenbach
became the third coach in Big South history to record 100 wins in league play when the
Bulldogs defeated High Point on Jan. 13, 61-59. He joins former Winthrop coach Gregg
Marshall and former Radford head coach Ron Bradley in that select company. Eddie
isn’t too far behind either of those coaches either and could be the winningest coach in
league play by the end of the year.
Big South Conference Coaching Victories
1. Ron Bradley (Radford) 109-47
2. Gregg Marshall (Winthrop) 104-24
3. Eddie Biedenbach (UNC Asheville) 100-76
Maybe the Youngest Team in the Nation: UNC Asheville may have the youngest roster
in college basketball. There are 17 players on the Bulldog roster with 13 of those players
either freshmen or sophomores. Eight Bulldogs are freshmen, while five players are
sophomores. Asheville has just one senior returning and that’s the lone starter back from
a year ago is Reid Augst. The three juniors on the roster have only one player with any
true playing experience in Sean Smith. The other two juniors – Jason Ridenhour &
Matt Kittrell – have limited experience. Ridenhour is a walk-on who has started this
year. Kittrell is a transfer who has not played in a year and didn’t practice the first part of
the season due to a knee injury. He is now practicing and suiting up for games but has not
gotten in a game yet.
Stephenson Honored by Big South: UNC Asheville guard Chris Stephenson has been
named the New Balance Freshman of the Week for games played Jan. 5-1. He enjoyed a
breakout week for the Bulldogs, as he helped lead Asheville to a road win at Gardner-
Webb with a then career-high 10 points, career-best six rebounds and career-best seven
assists. He led a Bulldog comeback at Radford with a career-high 14 points, plus six
rebounds, two assists and two steals in an overtime loss to the Highlanders. For the
week, Stephenson averaged 12.0 points, was 11-of-13 from the free throw line (.733) and
averaged 6.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals. Stephenson is the first Bulldog to be
named Freshman of the Week since Donovan Jones earned the award on Jan. 29, 2007.
Home Sweet Justice: The Bulldogs have enjoyed playing in the friendly confines of
Justice Center over the past year. UNC Asheville now has victories in 23 of its last 27
home games dating back to the 2006-07 season.
Eddie Gets His 200th: UNC Asheville head basketball coach Eddie Biedenbach picked
up his 200th career victory against Western Carolina on New Year’s Eve. Eddie has
picked up 171 of those victories as head coach at UNC Asheville and 29 were earned at
Davidson from 1979-81. He has led the Bulldog program to four Big South Conference
regular-season titles, one trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2003 and one trip to the NIT
in 2008. Biedenbach is the only coach in Big South history to take a team to both the
NCAA and NIT post-season tournaments. Here are Eddie’s milestone wins:
Win #1: Davidson 106, Canisius 99 – Nov. 24, 1978
Win #50: UNC Asheville 84, ETSU 61 – Dec. 2, 1997
Win #100: UNC Asheville 70, Elon 57 – Feb. 18, 2001
Win #150: UNC Asheville 68, Birmingham-Southern 59 – Feb. 14, 2005
Win #200: UNC Asheville 81, Western Carolina 78 – Dec. 31, 2008
Three-Point Record Set vs. VMI: The Bulldogs set a new school record against VMI
for most three-pointers made. Asheville went 16-of-28 from long distance against the
Keydets, breaking the previous record of 14 against Winthrop set back in the 1992-93
season.
Double-Doubles vs. VMI: UNC Asheville posted two double-doubles against VMI.
Junior forward Jason Ridenhour scored a career-high 15 points and collected a career-
best 13 rebounds, while rookie guard J.P. Primm pumped in 14 points and had 13
assists. It’s the first time the Bulldogs have had two players record double-doubles in
game since an overtime victory over Buffalo last Dec. 29. In that game both John
Williams and Kenny George had double-doubles in points and rebounds.
Rallying After Halftime: The Bulldogs have done a good job making adjustments at
halftime and playing better in the second half. UNC Asheville has out-scored six of its
last seven opponents in the second half and rallied for wins against Western Carolina (12-
31), Gardner-Webb (1-7) and High Point (1-13). The Bulldogs came close to pulling out
victories at Radford (1-10) before falling in overtime and Coastal Carolina Monday night.
The Guns of Augst: It’s been a great year for senior forward Reid Augst. Reid was the
lone starter back from last year’s 23-10 team and there would be a lot of pressure to not
just score but lead a very young team. He’s done a great job at both. Augst enters
tonight’s game with a 15.6 average and scored in double figures in 16 games. Reid has
been especially good in league games with a 19.6 scoring average, fourth best in the Big
South. He’s shooting a remarkable (51-of-105) 51 percent from the field in seven BSC
games and tallied at least 20 points four different times. The Richmond, Va. native began
the season as a long shot to score 1000 career points but now that’s almost certain. He has
939 career points and needs just 61 points to become the 24th player in school history to
reach 1000 points. Augst has really been good in league games this season with a career-
best 29 points against VMI (12-6), 27 at Radford (1-10), 24 at Charleston Southern (1-3)
and 20 vs. High Point (1-13). Augst went 8-of-9 from the free throw line against the
Panthers and hit two free throws at the 23-second mark to give the Dogs the lead for
good. In addition, he is second in rebounding (4.8) and leads the club in steals (32).
UNC Asheville in League Lid-Lifters Under Eddie: UNC Asheville has always been
ready for league play since Eddie Biedenbach became the Bulldogs head coach.
Asheville is now 12-1 in the opening game of Big South Conference play since the 1996-
97 season when Biedenbach became the Bulldogs head coach. The Dogs played Liberty
on Nov. 18 and that game was the earliest ever Big South Conference opener for UNC
Asheville but once again Biedenbach has the Bulldogs ready to play as they won, 84-56.
John Williams Conducting a Great Season: Sophomore forward John Williams was
the Bulldogs super sub last year as he gave UNC Asheville some real energy off the
bench. Williams averaged six points per game a year ago, blocked 51 shots and shot 58
percent from the field. The Bulldogs need John to take his game to the next level this year
and so far so good. Williams set a career high in points on opening night with 16 points
vs. Belmont-Abbey (11-14) and followed up with 14 points against Montreat (11-16). He
had his first double-double of the year with 11 rebounds vs. Montreat. Williams has
played well recently as he was a bright spot against North Carolina (11-30) with nine
rebounds and four blocked shots. He tallied 14 points against Tennessee (12-3) and then
exploded for a new career high in points against VMI (12-6) with 18. John came close to
tying his career high in points against Western Carolina (12-31) with 17 points on 6-of-9
shooting from the field and 5-of-7 shooting from the free throw line. Williams missed
two games in a row with sickness but came back in a big way vs. High Point (1-13). John
scored 14 points and was 6-of-8 from the field. All six field goals were dunks. He
collected seven rebounds and had three blocked shots. Williams is second on the team in
scoring with an 11.5 average and shooting 52 percent (74-of-142) from the field. He leads
the team in blocked shots with 33 and his 2.2 per game average is second best in the Big
South. An area that John has improved in dramatically is free throw shooting. Williams is
shooting a solid 62 percent (47-of-76) from the free throw line and that is a much better
from last year’s 43 percent (40-of-93) performance.
First Half Struggles: The Bulldogs have really been struggling in the first half for the
past month. In the past 10 games, UNC Asheville has trailed at halftime nine times. On
three different occasions, the Bulldogs were able to rally for a victory and send another
game to overtime. Asheville has really struggled in the opening half the past five games.
The Bulldogs have been outscored 37.8 to 29.4 in those five games. In the last three
games, Asheville has scored an average of just 24 points.
Ridenhour Riding to the Rescue: One of the best stories of this season for UNC
Asheville could be the play of red-shirt junior Jason Ridenhour. Ridenhour is a walk-on
from Mooresville, N.C. who is now starting for the Bulldogs at a forward spot. He tallied
a then career-best 12 points against Belmont Abbey and scored nine points vs. Montreat.
Jason pumped in eight points at North Carolina and had 10 points at Tennessee.
Ridenhour had the best game of his career against VMI as he posted his first double-
double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. He went 5-of-7 from the field and a career-best
3-of-4 from beyond the arc. The junior forward kept it up against Catawba when he
established a new career-high in points with 17 plus pulling down seven rebounds. He
then helped lead the comeback at Gardner-Webb with 12 points. Jason is one of two
Bulldogs to start in every game this season and he enters tonight’s game with a 7.3
scoring average. He’s third on the club in rebounding with a 4.4 mark.
Bulldogs Picked Ninth in Big South: The defending Big South Conference Regular
Season Co-Champ UNC Asheville Bulldogs were picked to finish ninth in the Big South
Preseason Poll announced by the conference office at its annual Media Day in October.
Winthrop who tied Asheville as Co-Champions last season and won the Tournament title
was picked to repeat as conference champions. Radford and conference newcomer
Gardner-Webb were only separated by one vote for second and third respectively. Liberty
was picked fourth, High Point fifth, and Charleston Southern sixth. VMI and Coastal
Carolina were picked ahead of Asheville with only Presbyterian picked below at 10th.
The Bulldogs hope to prove the experts wrong again this year as Eddie Biedenbach’s
team was picked to finish in fifth place last season. Asheville finished in a tie for first
place and was awarded the Big South Conference regular-season crown with two wins
over Winthrop.
Halftime Leads Have Been Safe The Past Two Years: The Bulldogs did a great job
holding on to halftime leads last season. Asheville went 18-1 a year ago when it led at
halftime. The lone defeat was the nightmarish shooting night at Radford on Feb. 20,
2008. Asheville led 35-31 at halftime but then shot a mind-boggling 14 percent in the
second half as the Highlanders rallied past the Dogs, 62-53. The Bulldogs are a perfect 5-
0 this year when leading at halftime.
First Comeback Win of the Year: UNC Asheville trailed 41-31 at halftime against
Western Carolina but rallied for the win on Dec. 31. It marked the first time this season
the Bulldogs trailed at halftime and won. The comeback win was the first by Asheville
since last season on Feb. 2 against Winthrop when the Bulldogs trailed 33-26 before
rallying for a 71-56 triumph against the Eagles. Asheville had five games last season
where it trailed at intermission and rallied for the victory.
Second Comeback Win of the Year: The Bulldogs picked up their second comeback
win of the season after trailing at halftime at Gardner-Webb (1-7). Asheville trailed 43-38
at halftime as it led Gardner-Webb shoot 59 percent from the field. The second half was a
different story as the Bulldogs rallied for an 86-76 victory. In the second half, Asheville’s
defense limited the Runnin’ Bulldogs to 27 percent shooting (9-of-33) from the field.
Third Comeback Win of the Year: UNC Asheville pulled out its most dramatic victory
of the year vs. High Point. The previous two comeback wins were impressive but in those
games the Bulldogs took the lead earlier in the second half and held on for the win. On
Tuesday night, Asheville trailed by seven with 3:50 remaining but outscored the Panthers
13-4 to pull out the victory. The Bulldogs got buckets from four different players to get
the lead and free throws from Reid Augst for the winning points.
A Game to Remember: UNC Asheville appeared on ESPN for the first time in 10 years
and made the most of its opportunity on Nov. 18 against Liberty. The Bulldogs played
the Flames in the earliest Big South Conference game ever as both teams were a part of
the network’s 24 Hours of Hoops at Justice Center. Asheville played one of its greatest
games ever as the Bulldogs doused the Flames, 84-56. The Dogs led from start to finish
and posted their biggest conference win in 10 seasons against a Liberty team that beat
Virginia on Tuesday night. Freshman guard J.P Primm dazzled the nationwide audience
with 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. He went 8-of-8 from the free throw
line. Junior guard Sean Smith tallied 17 points and was 5-of-6 from the three-point line.
He missed his first three-point attempt but knocked down his next five treys, including
four in the first half. Reid Augst had 13 points, while John Williams and Quinard
Jackson tallied 10 points each.
Eddie’s Assistants Have Done Well: UNC Asheville head coach Eddie Biedenbach has
had some good assistants during his coaching career at Davidson and UNC Asheville.
Biedenbach was the head man at Davidson for three years from 1978-81. He had a pretty
good staff when he was there as current Texas head coach Rick Barnes was there along
with current Davidson head coach Bob McKillop and Jeff Bzdelik, now the head coach
at Colorado. While at UNC Asheville, he had Monte Towe on his staff for three years.
Towe is now the Associate Head Coach at N.C. State after a solid head coaching career at
the University of New Orleans. Thomas Nash served at UNC Asheville for seven years
as an assistant coach before last spring moving to Mars Hill to become the Lions head
coach. Mars Hill is off to a great start at 9-4.
UNC Asheville Gets Third Straight Season-Opening Win: The Bulldogs won their
opening game for the third straight year on Friday night. Previous to defeating Montreat
87-72 in the lid-lifter of the 2006-07 year, UNC Asheville had lost 10 straight season
openers. However, the Bulldogs played some pretty good opponents during that time.
Eddie Biedenbach’s club lost to East Tennessee State, Syracuse, Purdue, Missouri,
Campbell, West Virginia, Michigan State, N.C. State, Texas Tech and Georgia Tech in
opening games before beating Montreat two years ago. The Bulldogs won last year’s
opening tilt by holding off Furman, 79-76.
