MBB: USA South Conference

[CNU85]

FC - 7-4
MU - 6-5
SU 6-5
CNU 6-5
GC 5-6
AU 5-7
NCW 4-7

[SU97]

I saw at one point SU went what, almost the last 8 plus minutes of their game against FC without a field goal?

SU just fell apart in the second half...  Hornets shoot 19% from the floor, 16% from 3pt.  Just a nightmare the last 15 minutes.  Ferrum played some tough D, and the late turnovers just crushed the home side...

onyie and lawrence a combined 7-31...ouch

Granted, Onyie and JLawrence were not shooting well, but nobody else seemed to help.  The point guard situation continues to deteriorate and I really hate to see this happening to this group of guys.  I hope they salvage a win this weekend, stay in the hunt for hosting a first round game and then go off in the Tourney.  This bunch has the talent to make a run, I believe that JLawrence has the heart to carry them all the way.  He just needs some others besides Onyie to pick things up when things go south.

I just hope this heartbreaker of a loss doesn't send them into a tailspin. Would prefer that this not be the last time I get to see Onyie and JLawrence play.  They deserve better than this. 

Here's to another home game at the Shingleton...  cheers.

[narch]

cooped up in the house with a nasty case of the flu...but still prescient enough to see results for the weekedn

tonight - monarchs by 5, captains by 8, cougars by 4
saturday - monarchs by 1 in ot, hornets by 3, bishops by 9

[CNU85]

anyone who  is sick and can still use Cossell-type words is ok in my book!

Get well Narch!!

+1k to help the sniffles

[narch]

i guess my fingers sniffled when typing, too (weekedn)

saturday is setting up to be huge for both monarch teams (men & women) - i'm pretty certain that a monarch win assures them a #1 seed regardless of the ncwc/ferrum outcome and i know the ladies would secure a #1 seed with a win (by virtue of their sweep of ferrum) - should be a lot of fun in the riddle center on saturday

I was close....just got the SU/MU game wrong.

[CNU85]

whoda thunk it? After a 1-8 start, then some sporadic play and then a conerence start of 0-3......CNU has won 6 of the last 8??

Wow....Never in my wildest imagination did I think these guys could win 10 games after what I watched during that 1-8 start. Then when conference play started at 0-3, I figured CNU was possibly going to have the worst season in school history.

Wow - guess I'll just keep my mouth sut and watch these guys play hoops and come together as a team (and pray for Blasingame's healthy return next year!!).

CNU wins at GC by 24 in Greensboro tonight? Did I read that right? Can't wait for box score on that game (RTT is working now).

A CNU win or a SU loss assures CNU of a home game Tuesday. I think that's right...too tired to look too deep into it. Just got back from taking my wife on a hot date to Hooter's tonight!! Actually, I think she took me  

[CNU85]

HAHAH...Narch is gonna love this one....

I just found the recap on GCs athletics webpage. They wrote that the score was 79-50 and that the game was played on 2/20....as Narch would say..."instant classic"

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

With NCW's OT win over Averett the Captains are almost assured of a home game on Tuesday. If SU wins and CNU loses, both are 6-6 and tied for third, with the Hornets getting the tie-breaker by virtue of its sweep of the Captains, which would put CNU in fourth. If the Captains lose and GC wins, CNU is third because of its sweep of the Pride. If the Captains win, they are assured of nothing worse than a third place finish. Sooooo......the Capts are home Tuesday night. A Captains win and a Ferrum loss creates a three-way log jam at 7-5. Should be interesting, cant wait to see how things play out Saturday.

RTT.....if the men do get a home game.....(and the women will).....is it 5 and 730???

i could be wrong...my head is a little cloudy from meds

[narch]

the monarchs need to keep the pedal to the metal...a 4 point halftime lead is now 13, but they can't let up
