MBB: USA South Conference

[Hampton U SID]

nnasid - hang in there. My mother-in-law took care of my wife's Dad who had Parkinson's and dementia for too many years. It's telling on the caregiver so take time for yourself.

You must be pleased with your team. They seem to be playing well these days.

Thanks JWW....dad's the one that needs the break even more than me as he's doing everything now..that's why I go over when we dont play so he can go to CNU games and do the shot clock.

We're playing well....gave VMI fits the other night after the big one at the Fish Tank.  We have Flagler (d2), Johnson & Wales (NAIA/USCAA), Wentworth and Goucher before break and come back with Greensboro....this will be a good run.

Who would win this game....CNU vs Bethel High? Did you guys read the paper today about Bethel? Wow, 3 transfers over 6'7" and all D1 signees!! Plus the team was loaded even before the transfers!!

Is Iverson bankrolling the team?

Could be...they won last night 99-28. I might have to head back to my alma mater to catch a high school hoops game

Good son. So that's your dad on the clock? Cool.

I used to give my parents every Friday night out when I was in high school and college. My grandmother was with us and not well. I used to push the washing machine to block the back door (she would get out and fall down the steps). Then I would sit and watch TV in the den where I could see the front door. One night I made brownies in a glass pan and set on top of the stove. She turned on a burner when I wasn't looking. Next thing I knew, huge explosion in the kitchen. Burnt glass everywhere. We had to get a new kitchen floor. Hang in there and keep giving Dad some breaks. You'll be glad in the long run that you helped out.

Dad has been doing the clock there since I graduated in 1991

captj returning???...all is right with the world

what do you guys think of the assists record set by the grinnell player the other night?  there's a pretty heated discussion on the daily dose...

Don't think it's gonna happen. He's tried twice to get signed up. I guess the bridge was beyond scorched....nuked maybe?

[DeWayneCarter]

Bethel lost to Warwick last night.... those 3 D1 transfers you spoke of aren't really all that. I think CNU would handle them.

[CNU85]

Yeah....I saw they got beat. Wow, I wan't expecting that. Hey - maybe the D1 schools will revoke their scholarship offers and those guys end up at CNU!!

Hey Narch:  Any chance you'll make it down to Murvul tomorrow? 

[SU97]

Sounded like the mass cold front we're expecting tonight decided to hit Fredericksburg early in the second half in the form of SU's 30% shooting...  what a horrible game today.  Mary Wash shoot the lights out from 3-point range in the second half. There was a point between the 15 minute mark and the 10 minute mark that UMW scored 19 uncontested points...  SU went from leading by 12 to finding themselves down by 7.  Game over.  If SU plays like that Monday, then Guilford is going to put up 150 points. 

SU got the usual out of JLawrence (23 points, 11 boards) and Onyie (15 points and 7 rebounds) but really needed one of the guards to step up and hit some 3's during that UMW run.

Coach got tossed out in the second half, but it sounded like the game was already over.

Guilford on Monday...  not sure how I feel about that now.

[sludge]

... Guilford on Monday...  not sure how I feel about that now.

Maybe the team just got bit by the Road in Fredericksburg.  That's what I'm concerned about too.  Sounds like Guilford will face a hungry Shenandoah team at SU on Monday.

[scottiedoug]

Well Narch your guys kept hanging around but couldn't get close enough to make it scary.

MU's coach seems to forsee some additions to the USASouth.  Y'all sure you're ready?

I was at that game yesterday, what about you SU97? Coach Harris didn't really deserve to get tossed out like that.

I was there also, but when Harris blew up some comments were directed at the ref and he T'd him up. I spoke to some of the people/players on that side and they siad he was getting pretty verbally demonstrative. The 6 FT's that UMW made really changed the game's complexion.

On the good side, Lawrence and the guards were as good as was advertised. If Lawrence keeps his head, he is an unreal force underneath for his height. He definitely has some hop!

Wasn't there, just listened on the radio.  But in a way I was glad to hear that he got tossed out.  I know that sounds crazy, but a few times this year SU has been up by so much that coach has been very quiet and just sitting on the bench.  Not usually his style.  This tells me that he's fired up and I have to think that the kids see that. I was afraid SU could become soft, and that's no good heading into conference play. 

Big game tonight.  Looking forward to watching Ben Strong play.  I heard so much about him last year from the coaches that I really want to see him play in person.  Good luck to the Hornets tonight - hope santa comes early this year and gives SU a little "w" this evening.
