Maryville 70-68 in a really close game...

I had a dream last night my boys win 70-68 tonight.  Then we take care of Mary Hardin Baylor, which will allow me to hit the road for the Sweet 16.  The Road to Salem begins tonight!

The bags are packed...its time to invade Demorest!

All I care about is the five guys who walk off the floor with the GSAC trophy. In any case, Green has been a solid PG since his freshmen year. Unfortunately, life is not always fair.

Apparently, winning is bad these days.  I am curious to see if Maryville WINS the GSAC tournament will they fall out of the top 8 in the South region rankings?  By the way, I thought Bowers had a strong case to be Co-MVP with Jake Baldwin.  After I saw the All-Conference team, I saw Bowers over in the gym working on his game.  To me, that said it all.  He just wants to lead his team to Salem.  I can't wait to arrive in Demorest!

Pat,
     I just dont understand how a team wins on the road but drops in the rankings.  All Maryville is able to do is win the games on the schedule.  Like Coach Lambert said it is extremely hard to get a team to agree to come to Boydson Baird Gymnasium.  Randy Lambert wont shy away from playing any team any where.  However, it isnt fair to have to play more games on the road just to play better teams.  The bottom line is teams are judged on how they do in the tourney.  When Maryville gets their bid to the tourney (whether it be at home or in Seattle) it is up to them to win, regardless of who they are playing.  I cant wait to finally see the run Maryville has been trying to make for the last nine years.

NEW REGIONAL RANKINGS.....

How on earth does MC drop to 5th with Va Wesleyan moving to 4th in the South region and they havent lost??

Good for Centre...as long as they keep winning, Maryville will probably have to come there.  That is what we all want.  I would love to bring the Maryville train through Danville!

Wiley, Coach Lambert has tried several times to reschedule the game, but Centre didnt want to play it in the middle of their conference schedule (which is a loss). Maryville is taking care the business in front of them. I really hope that Maryville goes to Centre for the tourney because we will show you just how well we travel. We will turn Danville into little Maryville!

and the only reason for all the factual info for flightofthepetral would be for u saying something about maryvilles sos and their signature win being over rust....are you kidding?? 50 and 20 pt wins against rust arent signature wins for mc!

nice job of pointing out that loss at home...like i said "not too many"  and i didnt mean to brag about the big win over sewanee, only stating the outcome! and as for me growing up...nice comment about the girls team, theyve fallen on tough times but are working hard to recover, that may be hard to understand  when ur girls team is better than your boys every year also, doesnt mean anything but the last time the lady scots faced the lady stormy petrals in the tourney...find that outcome for me, i know it!

I never mentioned "blowin the doors off or stompin a mudhole in centre" i just said they i feel we would win. Thats how im supposed to feel, i support the scots! I never said anything bad about Centre or the conference because I for 1 think it would be brutal to be in there. But i also dont want people disrespecting murvuls schedule without them knowing who exactly were playing and as you and everyone else can see we try and schedule teams from various conferences and have had some success! And why i see maryville vs. centre 2 seasons ago and last season as being relevant...both teams strengths are their guards and and just about every perimeter player from both schools still remain on the roster with much improved depth to murvuls! Im sure centre has added improved depth as well, otherwise wouldnt be 20-1! Just think it would be a great game.

PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE schedule murvul for 2 games, we would love to help strengthen others schedules as well as our own but the problem is its tough to get teams to come here and play hence the 14-2 region record(not as many south region games as others) Not too many wins from visiting teams in boydson baird  8) Beating the #18 team is a solid mark, no doubt about it.

-Granted the GSAC is a TAD subpar compared to the SCAC and other conferences lol...Murvul is undefeated vs. the SCAC the past 2 seasons (Centre, Oglethorpe, Sewanee) and 2-0 vs. centre the past 3 seasons including the win @ centre 2 seasons ago Wes, so YES, SIREE! Including a 30 pt thrashing of oglethorpe(flightofthepetral) this season and a 26 pt thrashing of sewanee on the mountain.

-Murvul would also be undefeated against the USASouth the past 2 seasons had it not been for the slip up the 1st game after christmas this season(6-1)! Also 5-0 against scholarship schools this season including handling 16-5 Carson Newman....Murvul doesnt have as strong a resume as other teams in the South but they can only control whats put in front of them and they have been doing so thus far, hopefully they can sustain this. I would also like to recognize centres 20 game win streak. I dont care who or who youre not playing, VERY IMPRESSIVE. The scots are own their own streak of 13 strait since the Averett game.

I would really love to see the Maryville vs. Centre game.  Hopefully, I will get my wish in the tournament.  I just dont see how Centre could possibly be considered the #3 team in the country.  I really feel that Maryville would beat them at Centre. What win does Centre hang their hat on?

Who cares about the polls or rankings....MC is playing with a chip on its shoulder and the last time I checked none of your votes, D3hoops.com's poll, or any other mathematical genius decides who makes it to Salem. I agree its time for Maryville to take it to the next level!
