MBB: USA South Conference

[CaptJ]

Introducing the starting lineup for the 2027-28 Christopher Newport Captains... at point guard, a 6-3 freshman from Moalboal, Philippines... Ryan CaptJ!!!

Guilford at NCWC tomorrow night.  The Bishops haven't played as well as I thought they would so far - hope this isn't a trap game for the Quakers!  Wesleyan put a beat down on GC in Greensboro last December.

Congrats CaptJ...we'll be looking for Ryan in a few years.  All the best.

I thought I would include a random post to break up CNUFEST09.

Things are not looking good for the USASAC this year...  we don't even have a single team above .500? This isn't quite what I had in mind when wishing for "parity" in the league.  

SU Hoops seem to have implemented the Wing-T offense from the football team. Not a good start and, if history has shown us in conference play, it isn't going to get any easier for SU from here. The last few years SU has had strong starts and then hit the wall when it comes to confernece play. Maybe the way to look at it (wishful thinking) is that SU might fare better with a "down year" for the conference as a whole. Or maybe not.

The Hornets host SoVa tomorrow night and (after reading the comments from the CNU faithful) now I'm wondering if SU is staring at a 1-6 start. Good luck to SU tomorrow, get a win at home!

Well, by the end of February, someone will have to win at least six this year!

CNUHoops2010 - Good observations, you should go ahead and register as a full time poster. 

Was registered and then deleted himself/herself after that post. Perhaps didn't read the Terms of Service that tell posters their email addresses are on their profile and you cannot turn them off.

Ahhhh... so that was it.  Couldn't or wouldn't stand up to the whole accountability thing, huh?  I wonder why he doesn't just create a new, identity-ambiguous e-mail address like mine.  Only a few posters on this board know who CaptJ / tallguy77777 really is.

Thanks, bubba.  Most people would be surprised to learn that the national sport in the Philippines is basketball.  They are hoops crazy here.  If we stay here he will definitely be more likely to participate in basketball than something like soccer or baseball.

My congratulations as well, CaptJ.  We live vicariously through the athletic (and other) accomplishments of our children and extended family.  I can still remember my excitement for my sons and nephews at the NC state wresting, soccer and basketball tournaments.  Nice!  Maybe a hoops Thrilla in Manila's in your future!

Final:  Guilford 83, NCWC 66 in Rocky Mount, NC

Rebounding was close, with GC getting the edge 34-33, but ... Guilford was 11/19 from beyond the arc and the Bishops were an abysmal 4/24.  Overall, the Quakers were 30/58 from the floor while NCWC was 24/68.

Sanborn's line was impressive with 13 points, 14 rebounds and 6 blocks in 23 minutes.  He could really have some huge games with improvement at the FT line.  Big game for Henson with 23, Bonner 17, Anderson 12 and rookie Pittman with 11.  Meanwhile, Drake 12, Arrington 12 and Stokes 10 led the Bishops.

GCQ improves to 4-0, all against the USASAC, while NCWC falls to 2-6.  Huge game for Guilford on Saturday as they travel to Virginia Wesleyan.   These two teams go after each other with a passion!
