Ferrum seems to be lookin hot and ready to go in two weeks.  Mitchell, Crump, Henry, Edwards, Hart, English and now not sure if the rumor got out yet or not but Marcus Mayo is back and can provide this team with the firepower we need in order to win this conference.

It's never too early to start thinking and predicting. 
With the players they have coming back, what teams look the best for the 2010-11 season??

1.  Ferrum  (two player of the year candidates in Mitchell and Crump)
2.  CNU - new coaching staff brings new measures
3.  Shenandoah - got some firepower on the offensive end
4.  Methodist - maybe a surprise here but I feel like they are there
5.  Averett - new coach here as well..can always win at home
6.  Greensboro - should be able to contend
7.  NC Wesleyan - nothing really coming back

Well cnu 82 su 69.  I guess the saying they always use is that you can't beat one team three times in a season is true. Cnu came out and battled and blasigame didn't really miss but the catalyst in this game to me was theo baker. Where has that theo been all year captj? With that being said, cnu has potential to be the most talented team in the conference any given night and best of luck to them vs ncw. Dudley played tough but missed jump shots and free throws due to his hand. Kline wasn't as aggresive as we are used to seeing from him however they both nearly finished with double doubles. BryAn hit threes and Kenny forced a lot and play okay, don't let the 18 fool you..those were all late. Cnu has my respect after the yEar they had, they might very well still get into the NCAA tournament. I tried to stand tall for my hornets but drowned under the boat of the cAptains. Captj, to your credit and good sportsmanship..congrats to you and the captains. The hornets do look promising for next year with bryan Dudley and kline senior year

Predictions??

NCW  94  Averett 80
SU     73 CNU  68

NCW vs SU meet in the finals
Let me get this straight.  SU's TWO best players are injured and you think they can beat CNU a 2nd time this year in Newport News?  And 3rd time overall?  I admire your dedication, but I'll make a wager with you.  The loser has to write a VERY complimentary post exalting the greatness of the winning team.  200 words mimimum.  Agreed?


Remember CaptJ, SU is a private school and I would expect no less than 400 words.

Or a 5 drink minimum.
I am still waiting for someone to post one of the following:

"Agreed."
"You're on."
"Your on."  (Since these are SU guys I'm communicating with.)

Do we have a wager, gents?

AGREED.

Had a scare in Winchester tonight...wasn't quite sure what the game plan was but at least the Hornets got away with a 60-56 victory.  Dudley played a decent amount with practically a club on his right hand..he really can't shoot but he did hit a jump shot in 25 minutes of play.  Kline was only put in for 8 minutes and I wasn't too sure why he wasn't in more, I know we want him 100% come friday but I mean come on..if we didn't win tonight - we dont get to Friday.  He was put in the final 3 minutes of the first half and scored right away then was finally put back in the final 5 minutes of the game when Methodist came back to tie it and just with Kline's presence..the crowd got back into it and he made crucial passes to Schrader who scored or got fouled...I tell ya what..Kline and dudley back to 100% by Friday...3 times to CNU is one season is tough but CNU did do it to them last year...this is going to be a TOUGH exciting game to watch

look at these Hornets go!  another sweep, this one over Ferrum College and what a gusty effort from this Hornet squad.  I think all Hornets and Hornet fans would like to ignore and not discuss Kline's injury but lets look at the positives, they just beat Ferrum behind a ridiculous effort from PG Kenny Roberson, he had 17 pts, carried the team and played with emotion I haven't seen this year yet.  He even dunked on POTY candidate Derek Mitchell!!!  If we beat Averett at home on Saturday, I believe we will have locked 2nd place unless NCW can lose the rest of the way but no one sees that happening

Yeah, i think free throws will be a big key and whether or not Arrington shows up.  We all know Arrington has potential to go for 30+ but he's had an up and down year so far, what will he do tonight.

This game might decide who takes this regular season title as well as POTY (Drake or Kline)

Big night in the USA South coming tomorrow.  Obviously, the biggest game of the year so far includes N.C. Wesleyan (5-1) at Shenandoah (5-2).  Winner takes sole possession of 1st place, if NC wins: they're practically in the clear to take this thing, if SU wins, they own tiebreakers over NC (due to the sweep of CNU and NC already losing to them figuring CNU takes 2nd or 3rd) then obviously sweeping CNU this year. 

PREDICTIONS??

Another thing...someone mentioned about how Shrader and Kline are the Hornets leaders..both of these guys set the tone early in yesterdays game with physical play, both got cut open and had to go to the bench for blood but they were not backin down - Green once again cant figure out the Hornets..1-8 (2-8 first game)
#13
Hornets are now 5-2 in the conference and sets up Sunday's game at home vs NC Wesleyan a game for first place....ohhh boyyyy!  Against CNU - Brandon Bryan was on FIREEE, that kid was not missing and that was great to see but how about when CNU is up 53-51 with around 3 minutes to go, Kline scores the next 8 points, two lay ups over B'game and a jumper in his face..big plays.  Can't wait for Sunday

GO HORNETS

Now I normally just go to the women's games but here of late, I've been staying for the Men's figuring they play back to back and I tell ya what, this is a different Hornet team than what I saw in the beginning of the year.  This team has a fire lit under them since conference play started.  They came into Averett on Sunday and got into Averett right from the get go with their defensive pressure and normally its Averett who's bringing the pressure.  This Hornet squad isn't backing down to no one so far...wish the girls could step up after back to back tough losses.

SU plays at Averett today - if they can pull out another W..sitting 3-1 in the conference would be HUGE by sweeping road conference games but Averett is so tough at home..hopefully they made everything yesterday.  Different Shenandoah players are stepping up and I love what I'm seeing from this team here of late.
