AUGUSTA, Georgia -- Entering his fourth season leading the Paine College men’s basketball team, Jimmy Link is ready for the Lions to take the next step.After going 30-28 the past two years, Paine returns an experienced squad looking to climb in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. To do so, Link said, his team has to win on the road. The Lions get their first challenge when they open the season at 5:30 p.m. today vs. Nova Southeastern in Melbourne, Fla. Paine will also play Florida Tech on Saturday night.
“We’re really good at home,” said Link, whose team has won 17 of their past 24 home contests.
“We’ve just got to figure it out on the road.”
Paine, 14-15 last season, has plenty of experience with eight seniors and three juniors. The only problem? Three seniors likely won’t play until December.
