Game! Of! The! Night! Feb 16: Belmont at Gardner-Webb
February 16, 2006 9:33 am ET by Kyle Whelliston
The Atlantic Sun race looks just like the Missouri Valley's: five teams with guady league records battling it out for conference supremacy. Well, at least until you look at the RPI numbers. Tonight is Thrill-A-Minute Thursday, as the A-Fun hosts two meaningful separation games among its elite. East Tennesee State travels to Florida Atlantic in one matchup, and we've got the other one here on G!O!T!N!, a battle between a resurgent conference favorite (that would be 10-6 G-Webb) against co-leader Belmont (12-4).

Belmont is the hottest team int he conference right now, with the seventh-best shooting in the land (49.3%) and a six-game winning streak during which they've topped FAU and fellow 12-4 Mercer. The Runnin' Bulldogs from Boiling Springs have shaken off a four-game January skid and have won seven of eight. Their two big guys, Brian Bender and Simon Conn, are both averaging 14.9 ppg, and will attempt to provide you, the listening public, with exactly one thrill per minute.
