MBB: USA South Conference

[NewportPlayer3]

I talked to someone who played in the game
and someone who was in the stands   


Is rhone or Purnell back from SU?

[narch]

player...not sure what the motivation to lie would be for a coach who i've known for 5 or 6 years, and who gave a pretty honest appraisal of his own team (he said they were 2 years away from being a really solid team, but would struggle a bit this year with 9 new players on the roster) - choose to believe who you would like...

how exactly does this relate to the usasac, again?

rhone and purnell were both seniors, but onie is back - speaking of onie, i've heard frosh travis mcbryde for mc compared to onie as a frosh...that's exciting, 'cause i love his game

[NewportPlayer3]

same with me...but i dont wanna get into it i was just trying to give some information that people might wanna know.

rhone was pretty nice. SU could be really ncie this year

[cnufan]

Rhone and Purnell were nice, except when Purnell was getting T'd up or Rhone couldnt hit water if he fell out of a boat. Should be interesting to see how things go this year. Im anxious for next Tuesday's game at home against VA Wesleyan.

 8)  ive been going to the captains b-ball games since 1998 and this is the first year i didnt buy season tickets.  i hope they are better then last years team.  i remember trent dickerson in some ganes last year and i think he can be a good player for the captains. he had sick handles and a good midrange jumper.  if they get some quality play from him and the new guys they should at least be fun to watch

[ballgame]

Goose, about 54 hours and counting.....we going to have a full roster Friday as far as you know?   Did not realize SoVA was a Mormon school.  Not sure if they are like BYU and a lot of their players go on a mission first.    Translates to older and sometimes stronger.   Then faster your seatbelt VWC on Tuesday!

cun85, are you a season ticket holder?   Just curious, assumed you were since I thought ticket sales start tomorrow for Friday's game.   Imagine it will be a packed house!

[cnu85]

Ballgame - yep I'm a season ticket holder...have been for a few years. It's been fun....Campus is only 2.5 miles down the road....it's nice to be able to leave the house at 6:30 or even 6:45 and make it to the game in time. I'm usually home while the post game is still on 99.1.

The past few years have been tough...even with an 18-8 record last year. CNU has not dominated anyone in the past few years. I hope Ross has done a good job recruiting!

[ballgame]

cnu, thanks for the info--looking through the media guide it is quite a "standard" set by past teams.  I do hope for the very best.....as we've discussed a couple of times, a lot of new additions.   Let's hope young and old mesh quickly. 

[cnu85]

That's the fun part about being a fan.....I have high hopes every year. Friday night will be fun.....the tournaments are fun as well....but the atmosphere during thanksgiving and new year is dead..no students, no pep band..sometimes no cheerleaders....just us old people in the chairbacks....you'll see us!!

[cnufan]

We will get you acclamated (sp? for narch) to CNU basketball. Southern Virginia is a mormon school and they are affiliated with BYU and they do have their kids go on missions. I think we are undefeated all-time against the Knights of So.VA. Should be fun. As far as a full line up is concerned, I wouldnt know. But as Ive said before, Im predicting a very very difference line up for Friday night.

[ballgame]

Goose, you're cracking me up, "very, very" different.....I can only imagine.  Probably a phrase that may be repeated quite a bit over the next month or so!

[cnufan]

Oh I think we will see many different line ups over the course of the season until they get the right chemistry on the floor.

[cnu85]

Will the games be aired on AM1470 and 99.1 or just 99.1.....which I can't pick up inside the Freeman Center!

eddie –

Why no season tickets this year?  Don't give up the ship!  Our once-mighty program is going to be great once again, and I predict soon.  We might be experiencing some growing pains as a school and as a basketball program, but I am more excited than I've ever been about Captains basketball.

And for those of us that didn't learn our hoops on the inner-city playgrounds, what the heck does "sick handles" mean?  Good ball handler?  Good defense?

Go Captains!!!!!!!!!!!!!
