Captj-
   Im serious, the Prez Box will not be open during the conference tournament.

I suppose that next you're going to tell me that I don't have tickets to the tournament games?

Nope, dont you ever go to the front page of the cnu athletics website??? Come one, there is all kind of info there regarding the tournament, captains crew members, season ticket holders, etc. Welcome to the world of the USA South where conference tournys are the exact opposite of the regular season. I cant even get free tickets, lord knows you wont be able too (is that the correct usage of it, or is it to?) either.

Here is one http://athletics.cnu.edu/Sports/Misc/misc020706.htm about it on the CNU webpage.

GC dropped a two-point decision to NC Wesleyan, 85-83.
Ferrum once again beat Shenandoah at the buzzer, Keith Harris' three ball with one second left lifted the Panthers over the Hornets, 67-66.

captj!! Dont make me wait for you well thought out verbage on tonight's game!!!

Im still not sure what to think on this one. The capts definitely got off a to a slow start and were terrible on the glass. They also seemed real sluggish on defense, were slow to get around screens and got killed on the back door cuts. But they stepped up and showed what they were made of down the stretch. They did shoot well, but Averett definitely took advantage of the CNU turnovers and turned them into points and dominated the offensive glass and turned those rebounds into second chance opportunities. I hope they come out well rested tomorrow (assuming there is a game, I think there will be.) Shenandoah and Averett have already postponed their double dip to Monday at 5 and 7 due to all the snow and ice in Winchester.

It is Senior Day tomorrow, and Adam Purdham and Jeremy Romeo will be honored prior to tip-off.

Random thoughts on the huge win by the Captains (17-5, 8-1) over a VERY tough Averett (16-7, 7-3) team –

My overwhelming thought is that I am so proud of these guys.  They fought so hard against a bunch of Cougars that definitely came to Newport News prepared to play.  Everything didn't work, but what a game! 

Davon Barton (22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals) is just so solid.  He is the Liz Moore and Associates Team Player of the Game once again.  We are so fortunate to have this guy.  I am looking forward to many more years of Davon in a Captains uniform.  FT said it best in the post-game broadcast; Barton and Blasingame are a great foundation on which to build a successful program for years to come. 

Forget years to come... we've got a team that is firing on all cylinders right now!

Free throws!  How about those free throws!  12 of 14 (86%) in the 2nd half when missing them would have been disastrous.  This team has so much heart, it is incredible. 

Everybody played their heart out.  Selden hustled for every second he was in the game (as usual), Romeo had an off night offensively but played great defense (as usual), Lewis gave us good minutes when he was in the game and had some big buckets, Blasingame was a beast inside (as usual) and did a good job of avoiding foul trouble (even though the deck was stacked against him in that respect), Purdham played great defense and was robbed by the official scorer of a tip-in in the 2nd half, Riley was very, very solid off the bench and efficient offensively and on the boards, Claxton was also tough on the boards and gave very good minutes.  A great game by all!

The tall chubby zebra should go back to calling junior high games.  He should be ashamed.  This game got totally out of control under the boards.  The refs let them get away with WAY too much.  Boor got away with murder, but I don't fault him because he was just playing as hard as the refs would let him.  I'm really glad that someone didn't get hurt in this one.

The fans rocked the Freeman today.  My buddy the LtCol practically went insane and this was only his 2nd time at a Captains game.  He's not going to miss another one this year.  1701 people saw a great game.

The Cougars are good!  I'm not picking against them the rest of the year (until they play the Captains).  I am officially changing my pick in the Averett/Shenandoah game; the Hornets can't play with these guys, even at home in a blizzard.  I predict that Captains fans haven't the last of the Cougars.

Go Captains!!!!!!

You're talking about AU at Shenandoah, right?  Maybe shotblocker or someone can verify that the game's officially postponed.

CNU still plays today, right?  There is nothing bad happening (weather) where I live in Smithfield.

Things to ponder as we near D3 March Madness....Captj is not gonna like this....just remember the Captains are a very good team in a very weak conference. CNU is 0-3 against ranked teams this, although those games were early in the year, CNU was trying to find the chemistry, and they played Lincoln to a tough OT loss.

My point - don't get too excited if CNU should make the NCAA (still have to get by AU again!!)

85 -

Why would I not like your comments?  I agree with you.  We started getting the chemistry right just after we took that tough road trip.  But we've definitely got it right now.  Would we have beaten VWC if we'd played them later?  Probably not since they also seem to be playing better than ever.  Would we beat Lincoln right now?  Maybe.  Could we upset someone in the NCAA tournament IF we make it through the conference tournament?  You bet we could!  But first we have to win the USASAC, which is going to be tough enough.  CJ's been around too long to let our guys start looking past the next team on our schedule.  You don't win 200 conference games as a coach by not taking EVERY conference game very seriously.  Right now we need to focus 100% of our attention on Ferrum, and I bet that is exactly what the Captains are doing right now.
