Bulldogs report: Getting inside
The 2007-08 season was by far the most successful in Eddie Biedenbach's tenure in Asheville. The Bulldogs finished with a school-record 23 victories, won a share of the Big South regular-season title, earned the top seed in the conference tournament, and became the first Big South team to ever play in the NIT. Biedenbach's Bulldogs won more games in 2007-08 than in the last two years combined (21), and Biedenbach won conference coach of the year honors. UNCA lost in the first round of the NIT March 18, falling at Ohio State, and the game was the swan song for the Bulldogs' heralded senior backcourt of K.J. Garland and Bryan Smithson. Garland, who played most of the season without a backup at point guard, had seven assists. Smithson, who missed part of the year with various ankle injuries, scored 17 points. It was UNCA's first postseason appearance since the 2002-03 season, when it won the Big South tournament as the No. 5 seed and then won a game in the NCAA Tournament, besting Texas Southern in the tournament's opening-round game.
