GHH,,

I am so glad they are home. I am sure they are too and are looking forward to a break from all this.

When have they been 5-5? I do not remember. I hope the girls know they have our support even though this is such a rough season. We're not fair weathered fans. I hope Coach can come up with something over the holidays to help this team. I wonder if everyone will even return after the break? Glad Natalie is feeling better and I hope the rest can stay healthy.

Merry Christmas to everyone. I'm hoping Santa will bring us what we need!

I am less worried about the record than the absence of some other signs of a good team...outside scoring, ball-handling, defense.... The trip out west was tough because of the travel and those teams they played may be pretty good. Losing to CN does not prove much, either.

I mentioned the record because with 5 losses already, we have absolutely no chance of getting an at large bid to NCAA Tournament. We have to win Conference Tournament, probably us and Piedmont in finals again, on Piedmont home floor.

We just need to get things together. We got the talent. I would like to see him shake-up the starting lineup. Maybe that will light a fire! Don't matter what we do though, if we don't improve on defense and come up with something where we can get some shots, other than 3s, we in trouble anyway.

We will see what changes, if any, are made when we play Milligan at home.

Everyone enjoy the Holidays with family and friends, come back refreshed and ready to go to work.

I'm not worried about the record either. The record is just an outward sign of what is going on internally within this team. I agree--a loss to CN means nothing.

PC looking good during the break, the upcoming emory game will tell a lot.

scottiedoug / MCScotsfan:

We had a very talented team last year and came up short, and this year, just as talented, with more depth. Our defense is worse this year than last and scoring is a major issue. Is there light at the end of the tunnel?

We need a S-P-A-R-K-!!!!!! Something or Someone!!!!! A "WIN" would be a nice start!!!

Nice to get back on the winning track versus Milligan. Congrats to Asst. Coach Fowler on getting a win with Coach Pardue out. Natalie probably played her best game so far this season. Robin did a nice job off the bench. Defense is coming along. Shooting woes continue but they got to start falling sometime down the road. Alicia played all 40 mins again, hope she can hold up.

Alex dressed out in uniform for the first time. If all goes well in practice this week, hopefully she will get a few minutes versus Agnes scott.

Hope things go well for Alex!

PC lost a very exciting game in OT to Emory. if PC can keep that much pressure and energy through the confr. games they will be tough to beat. Turnovers still a problem

MCScotsFan · January 08, 2008, 10:49:53 PM

I hope all is well with Pardue's family. I know it must have been an emergency for him to miss that game.

I think Piedmont is always hard to beat.

I believe he missed the game because of medical issues concerning his own health.

We will probably split with Piedmont in the regular season games. It will come down to winner take all in the tournament finals again this year, on Piedmonts home floor.

I agree, Maryville always plays extremely well at home. I dont remember any confrence team getting a W in that gym. A PC Maryville final will be a great basketball game. I see PC protecting home court.

Not slighting any of the other schools because anything could happen, but I would like to see that final as well. PC has home court advantage but MC has a ugly taste in their mouth and a bad memory of letting one get away last year in the final 2 minutes and not going to the NCAA tourney for the first time in the last 6/7 years. Should be interesting if both teams are healthy and playing well. MC at the buzzer!!!!

Do they put a clear plastic lid on the goals at Agnes Scott?

Lids must have been over all the rims we played on all year. We shot it about as bad as we always do. Fact is right now, we are not a very good team. Too many things going on. No stability at the top which feeds down to the players. Some played like they could care less versus Agnes Scott. I guess what I don't get is, why not give those on the bench a chance. Lord knows they can't do no worse than the ones out there. We played 7 players last night. Asst. Coach said "key players fouling out hurt us". They didn't foul out until a min or less was left in the game and we were down 10+ and fouling on purpose. They had played the whole game and we still looked awful and losing.

Wow, hasn't the program took a nose dive since Dee left.
