MC could easily be 8-1 instead of 3-6. For whatever reason, they are getting outplayed in the closing minutes of most close games. It sounds simple but if they would start hitting clutch shots and getting timely stops and rebounds in the last couple of minutes, the "L's" would become "W's". If they don't, then they will continue to struggle in close games.

I hear Arsenio Nuckles the pg from Rust has transfer to Maryville (TN) is there any truth to that story
I have also heard that Nuckles will be transferring to Maryville College. Since you are apparently a Rust fan, could you tell us Scot fans a little about him? As a point guard, he should have a great opportunity to play immediately since Lavierdiere graduated and Damron won't be playing next year.

The MC/Milligan game was live streamed on the Milligan College website last night. The Scots looked totally lethargic in the first half, bounced back and played at least decent basketball for a lot of the second half, and then went brain dead late.
Lowlight of the night..... less than 20 seconds left, Milligan up 72-71 with their pg, who looked about 5-9, for two free throws. Milligan had nobody on the lane except the guy shooting the free throws. He missed both shots but somehow got his own offensive rebound through four Scots. They had to foul him again and , of course, he made both. The Scots also had a couple of critical turnovers in the last minute or so.
Finally, while Milligan definitely outplayed the Scots, I think they owe an assist to the timekeeper on the game winning buzzer beater. Picture this..... there are 3.3 seconds left and Milligan inbounds to their biggest guy. He catches the ball about the top of the key in backcourt after breaking toward the passer from around half court ( i.e. going the wrong direction). The Milligan coach said on their website that the play was designed for him to immediately pass to one of their guards streaking up the court. He had time to notice that they were covered and then he drove the ball to just inside the three point line at the other end and made the shot. Tyus Edney would be proud of that one

Speaking of missing persons, where were Jordan and Maverick @ LaGrange?
I am looking forward to seeing the Lions. Whodathunkit.
According to RDL on the radio postgame show, Jordan was out with a stomach virus and Maverick was out with a concussion.

Brandon McGill is listed as a Junior and his last school listed is Central High. Where has he been?
He is a transfer...... He played two years of juco ball at Volunteer State.

There are a couple of new Maryville College players that haven't been discussed on here that will be impact players. They are Brandon McGill, a 6-5 junior from Knoxville, and Felix Torres, a 6-9 freshman from Puerto Rico.
McGill should be ready to contribute from Day 1 because of his skill level and his ability to play the 3 or 4 spot in MC offense. It may take Torres a little longer since Hernandez and Willett are back but Torres could definitely be a force down the road with his size.
