With the Scots losing numerous times, this board is a little quiet.

What else is going on in the GSAC?

Congratulations to Maryville's Greg Hernandez who was named a NABC All-American.

This is great news.  He worked extremely hard for this.

I wish the NABC would have named 3 teams several years ago as Maryville would have had a few more participants on the All America team.

Come on ODAC, the entire South Region is rooting for you.

Am I mistaken or does this make 3 years in a row that the Scots are one and done in the tourney?

Was trying to check in on the old members of the GSAC and was looking for some help on Fisk.  I was able to find info on Stillman but Fisk is a mystery. 

It even appears they no longer play Tennessee State.  Can anyone help with a record or anything?

Yes. Bard, I thought that Huntingdon deserved a Pool B that year, but they did not listen to me.

Piedmont may have lost a chance to hang a pennant from the rafters with the Huntingdon loss!

(I hope that Huntingdon has a banner up there from that GSAC tourney win.)

I think Fisk is the only one who hung a banner for their tournament win.  The Scots would have run out of rafters and walls by now.

Ron Domino:

Unless the Scots lose another D3 game (in this case that would mean another GSAC game), they still will be the only GSAC team with a shot at a NCAA tournament bid from either Pool B (most likely) or Pool C (quite unlikely).

Pigs can fly, so the Scots could lose again in D3, but I would not count on it.

RDL said on the radio that he had expected and the team had talked about all the stuff you have to handle on the road to be a successful team but did not make the key plays down the stretch.  Did not do what Killer and Grubby One have highlighted...be the tougher team.   That means that in this case, the Lions did do what they had to.

It is good for the GSAC and Maryville for Coach Glenn and his program to get better and better.  That can only help the problem of building a real men's basketball conference with 7 or 8 teams some of which are consistently competitive with the Scots.

Hopefully feeling a sense of urgency will kick them into gear.  If they think they can sleep walk into a tournament bid, then it appears they will do it.

It appears the most talented Maryville College team in several years will be the one who ends the streak of consecutive tournament bids.

I have to give a shout out to the Lady Lions mid-season addition, Sada Wheeler.

http://www.greatsouth.org/News/wbball/2010/1/19/111709_WBB_POW.asp

If she got Player of the Week while averaging 13.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.3 blocks per game, there is probably another PotW award coming.

The next 3 games she averaged 17.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.
Damn, you go girl! 

It would have been nice, back in the day, if our Lions could have found a post presense comparable to Ms. Wheeler.  Ah, what might have been ...

The Kersey kid was pretty stinking good.

Maybe you non-Southeastern posters with pull at D3 schools can encourage coaches to schedule Maryville so the Scots will be better prepared to represent the Bumblin's in post season....

Nobody seems all that anxious to play MC in TN so the Scots wind up playing (and beating) all the neighboring NAIA and D2 schools, nono of which counts for anything except experience and local bragging rights.

Its a no win situation for any teams to schedule a Pool B team that can legitamately knock them off.  It could hurt their in region rankings/record and if they don't win their conference tourney, essentially hurt their Pool C chances. 

If I were a coach of a team that has the potential to get in the tourney, no way I would schedule an in region game with a pool B that has the potential to beat me.

Regarding Coppage ...

Have we ever had an All-gsac selection that comes off the bench?


Yes they have.
