MBB: USA South Conference

...but they don't have the Conference Player of the Year, to graduation. 

did he graduate from gc after just one semester or is it that he's just out of eligibility?

Eligbility.  I haven't seen him around.  I know he played in a senior game around here at the end of the season.  Played with some local d-1 players from top schools.  I can't find the article, but I heard he played real well.

Coach Smith has another tough schedule indeed.  It has been his philosophy to play a tough non-conference schedule and then use that experience to make a run at the conference championship.  I don't think anyone can argue with his success over the years, and we will see how this year team shapes up.  He usually also schedule a couple of DII's for scrimmages to better evaluate his team.  good luck monarchs and i'll see them in person this fall.

Guilford published their schedule last Friday.  There are some games of interest versus the USASAC.  The men have an early exhibition against DI Elon (last year it was a regular season game) plus 24 that count.  There are the normal 18 ODAC contests as well as Robert Morris and Sewanee (University of the South) in a tournament at Roanoke, Greensboro at the Coliseum, Shenandoah at home, away at Methodist and away at Averett.  Looks like ten DIII games in Ragan-Brown.

Is it basketball season yet? Oh wait, Oct. 15 is the first day of practice with Midnight Madness on the 20th. Wow, Nov. 17th will be here soon!!

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

Oh yeah I can't wait for basketball season.  I bet Midnight maddness at the freeman center is well worth the addmission.

GC is haven't Midnight maddness until the 27th (Homecoming and Alumni weekend)

[cnufan]

Well worth the admission?? Is it worth free?? Dont know about all that now!! 

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

I had to pay 7 bucks for a ticket for the football game.  I was sure they would charge 2 bucks to go see midnight maddness.

(football is 3 bucks at greensboro)

Looks like CNU and GC will know each other well.  They switched off tournaments.  They don't play each other, but I am sure they will scout each other.

Man, that's a bummer about 2 bucks to midnight madness. You should have asked me for some tickets to the fb game. I could have hooked you up at a cheaper rate!

I unfortunately will not be making the trip to the Greensboro Classic, as greener pastures have me going to hawaii on the 15-20 of Dec.

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

I guess I wasn't clear goose.  I thought CNU would charge for midnight maddness.  Greenboro on the other hand, they don't charge for anything.  No point not too many fans or alumni at the games.

If they did charge, they wouldn't charge me since I work close to the womens side.

Does anybody within the SID field know when the preseason polls are released?  I am guessing after the 15th.

Or knows already and wants to give me the inside scope.  Both on Men's and Women's side.

Yes, football does have two "l's" and, just like "happens," no "d."     Only kidding - welcome aboard.  Do you have a favorite d3 team?

After reading some of your posts hasa, Im thinking your a Guilford fan, correct me if im wrong mr. grammar police 

I could tell yeah, but I might have to kill ya. I do live on "The Peninsula," as it is referred to around here, and since I happen to be an alum of Christy Tech (as another alum refers to CNU), I guess Ill cheer for the Captains! 

My heart belongs at Razorback Stadium tho.
