MBB: USA South Conference

[SU97]

It's finally Hoops season!  SU tips off tonight against Frostburg at home, always a good game. Hope to see what the Hornets have this year, not so sure on what new talent the coaches brought in.

Crappy start for CNU....up by 16 in the second half only to lose by 1.  What's next, another loss to VWC?  That would make it something like eight in a row....geez, I miss the old days in Ratcliffe.

You got that right, Swish.  This seems like ModernCaptains version 7.0.  More of the same.  What happened to the surprise, secret lineup?  Not a surprise at all.  All five had previouly started for the Captains.  Did any newcomers make a substantial contribution?  The only surprise to me, and a good one, was the play of Going.

I remember discussions earlier on this board about the toughest gym to play in for visiting teams.  IMHO, Ratcliffe seemed even tougher than the Freeman Center.  Rowdy and loud.

[SU97]

Ouch.  SU losses in OT to Frostburg and goes 0-for-a-billion from the foul line.

USASAC is 0-6 collectively to start the season.  Thank God AU hasn't played yet.  Go COugars!

Monarchs go to Guilford tonight - wish I could be there!

Definitely seemed like a little gamesmanship on the part of CJ, as the men's roster was posted yesterday, I believe.  Pretty senseless really, since 4 of the 5 starters saw significant playing time last year.  Conley Taylor is the real deal and I look forward to watching him play, but the other newcomers didn't play or sound like much at all.

The Ratcliffe I remember was a lot harder to play in for opposing teams.  Honestly, it seems like everyone shoots the lights out at the Freeman Center....must be that vaunted CNU defense.

Methodist falls at Guilford tonight, 91-72.  I could listen on the net from my hotel in Raleigh, but the video feed was subpar.  The Quakers were up by 25 in the 2nd and won the battle of the boards, 49-32.  GC starts the season 1-0, while MU falls to 0-2.  The Quakers play Greenboro at the Coliseum tomorrow night - women at 6 and men at 8.

I'm too lazy to do the research...CaptJ can do it since he doesn't have a job.

What is CNU's winning percentage in the Freeman? Radcliffe?

It's one loss- quit whinning! The mango rum slurpees are making you soft.

I do have a job.  It might only require 3-4 hours of work per day, but it's a job.  Plus, I have a little Captain to get ready for in about a month.  If you want to know those winning percentages just buy a program at the first home game in a week or so.  Either that or wait for the 09-10 media guide to be released.  Hmmmm... maybe the program idea might be better.

Whining?  I posted FOUR words.

Soft?  Hahahahaha.  Wrong on that one too buddy.  I'm now 6'-3" and 210 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal.  Island living suits me.  Almost no processed food and regular exercise does a Captain good.  Maybe I should start thinking again about CNU grad school and using my remaining eligibility.  I wonder if I can throw one down like I used to 30 years ago.  If not I can always bounce a few in.

Guilford jumped out to 30 28-0 and 40-3 leads over Greensboro at the Coliseum tonight before the subs finished the game, 76-49.  GCQ moves to 2-0 and GCP falls to 0-2.

[SU97]

When did EMU become the "Runnin Royals"?

[SU97]

SU drops to 0-2 with an 87-81 loss to EMU.  Kline seems to be playing well, he had 19 pts and 8 boards.

[CaptJ]

Guilford jumped out to 30-0 and 40-3 leads over Greensboro.

Yeah, I know what you mean.  How many games have you ever seen start like that?
