MBB: USA South Conference

[captj]

Does he travel to see their games?  Maybe, cause he really, really likes Mike Dancer.  Or is his buddy venting to him his own frustrations that yet ANOTHER great player is preventing him from being the superstar that he thinks he should be.

Maybe he IS Mike Dancer?

Could be, could be.  But I am sure that he's not narch, who I earlier suspected was several posters on this board at once . 

narch would never say some of the things that this guy has posted.

Today is a big day in the conference race. Will methodist be able to pull off the upset I dont know but I do know that Averett needs to make a big rebound and get back to where they were.  And I do not see it happening but I know that all of us people on here becides cnu85 and captj would like to see a upset but I dont think that is going to happen. But as far as my pride are concernd I think we have a good chance against the panthers but only time will tell. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!

[narch]

Start?  Didn't happen.

captj - c'mon, now...he's started one of their 16 games...maybe that's what newportplayer3 meant, that he'd start A game - he IS the third leading scorer on the psua team at 8.7 ppg

Maybe he IS Mike Dancer?

leroy, this was my thought, exactly...in fact, i had my suspicions prior to the season...remember, young mr. dancer was pretty active on this board and the odac board during the recruiting process

Um, I dont even know what to say to all that. Uh, go Captains! LOL

Sorry, Goose.  But the "Is there anything wrong with romeo? I been watching and hes getting less and less palying time" post just spun me up.

[cnufan]

I gotcha. Hate to see you get fired up!! Stay away from you!!

Capts up 42-34 at the half.  Romeo nets 13 in the first to eclipse the 1000 point mark.

[narch]

au wins 76-65...can't remember the last time the cougars swept the monarchs...i think that put's the final nail in the championship defense for mc

[captj]

Only a couple of random thoughts tonight, gents; 

Yeah, Captains!!!!!!

and

Congratulations, Jeremy Romeo!  He needed 10 to get to 1000 career points and blew through it in the first half with 13.  22 for the game in what was almost a perfect game.  He defended extremely well, snagged 8 boards, had no turnovers, etc, etc.  An almost perfect game.  Congratulations to a great Captain!

Narch, Averett swept Methodist in 2001 (101-98 in 2OT - Danville and 89-86 in Fayetteville).  However, we hadn't defeated Methodist since, until this year.  The Monarchs actually shot the ball really well, just couldn't take care of it - turned it over 25 times and shot 49%.  They are still a dangerous team that can win some games in the tourney.

They are still a dangerous team that can win some games in the tourney.

unfortunately, they're going to HAVE to win some games in the tourney...if they go on a 3 game win streak in the tourney, then i can say they've won a conference championship or conference tournament or shared a conference championship in 4 straight years...i'm sure the cnu fans would REALLY like that, especially you, captj - this is clearly a disappointing season and i just can't put my finger on what is going on with this team, because i still contend they are very talented - oh well, gotta play the role of spoiler...something the monarchs haven't done in a few years - at least the ladies are still in contention...it's a long-shot for them, but they've got some talent...maybe i'll post on the women's board until baseball hits full stride (and i don't even need to wait for one to throw down like captj does )

[captj]

narch -

You hit on something that really worries me about your guys... that they can play the spoiler.  There is probably nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal (especially a lion).  And that's just how I see them right now.  It certainly doesn't always happen, but underachieving teams have been known to align their stars at the very last minute and cause real hardship for teams that take them for granted.  But, and this is a BIG but; I don't think anyone is going to take your guys for granted.  I think any higher seed that plays them in the tournament will NOT look past them to the next round. 

[cnufan]

Look at NC Wesleyan last year, they were the seven seed and upset the Captains in the first round and then went on to the championship, albeit they lost to MC in the finals, but they definitely came to play in the tournament.

[narch]

some good news for the monarchs in a tough season - grant named cosida academic all-district - grant also got his 1000th point earlier in the season and seth thomas is just 37 points away from 1000 for his career - congrats guys on the on-court and especially the off-court accolades

despite a very tough season, these two have been a lot of fun to watch over the last 4 years...they play the game hard and well and are fundamentally strong in addition to being really good students in the classroom...the kind of guys you want in your program, that's for sure

I have a question for Greensboro fans. Where was Newman and Holloway at for the Ferrum game? Anyone have any ideas on their whereabouts?? Just curious.
