MBB: USA South Conference

[captj]

Hey, I just figured it out... narch is actually ALL of the posters on this board (except me).  He takes a sabbatical and everyone shuts down.  He has several e-mail addresses and used them all to create dozens of D3Hoops.com user names.  I'm convinced that hoopshops, bspears, CNU85, leroy, Isoar, Goose13, sushotblocker04, nnasid, hasanova, ballgame, NewportPlayer3, eddie, scottiedoug, and obnoxuioussufan ARE ALL THE SAME PERSON!  narch!

You figured me out.

Captj - if I didn't know better I would have thought they were serving alcohol in the President's room!!

Did you know the short version of "Captj" is "CJ"?? (pun intended!!)

88-57...can't get too excited..it was Maryland Bible! But I liked Kraut's shots!! 2 treys at the end! CNU pulls away with the third team out there!!

CNU President Paul Trible joins NCAA committee

I hope I'm doing this right.  I've never tried to post a link.

If it doesn't work maybe you can cut and paste into your browser.

I'm curious what everyone thinks about this, specifically what it could mean for the USASAC.

Congratulations to Dr. Tribble and the CNU community upon his election to the NCAA's President's Council, and thanks for the Link.  While reading it, I noticed that my alma mater Lincoln University (PA) Dr. Nelson will become President of the Council in January, 2006, succeeding Bridgewater College's Dr. Stone.

BTW Lincoln and CNU hook up in Myrtle Beach, SC on 12/20.

I think this quote from the article could be very meaningful -

"The schools ultimately vote (on legislation)," said Woollum, "but this group is most influential."

If you havent visited the football board yet today, CNU's Justin Wood was named First Team All-American by the AFCA today.

Like I said, he takes a few days off and the entire USASAC board comes to a screeching halt.

Random thoughts on CNU / MdBible –

I'm not sure what to make of our game last night against MdBible.  The most important thing to remember when assessing the game is just that... it was against MdBible.  I wanted to think they would be a worthy opponent, and when I heard on the pre-game radio broadcast that they had beaten a Division 2 school I was encouraged.  But if this 8-player team beat a team of scholarship ballers, then those guys should give their scholarship money back.  They have one guy that is really good (Curry) and a couple of guys who are definitely athletic, but something is definitely missing (like enough players to even scrimmage 5-on-5 in practice).

I liked seeing Coleman start, but then he seemed less effective than he has in other games.  Maybe he is one of those guys that are most effective coming off the bench.

I still like Barton's game a lot, but I don't think he's back to 100% after his injury.  I like what Sean Branch did and I'd like to see him get more PT at the one. 

Selden has had to play a lot of minutes since he's the backup point guard.  The pass he made to the MdBible coach shows that he's definitely playing out of position at the one.  He's probably the toughest guy on our team, and he's as aggressive in the final minutes of a game as he is in the first, but I'd sure like to see his skills as a two utilized more and have Branch get some PT now. 

Lewis is starting to improve.  He had some good moves last night, as well as a nice shooting touch.

Speaking of moves, the spin move that Riley used down low to get a bucket in the second half left his defender completely flat-footed.  Very nice game from Riley!  6 of 8 for 13 in only 15 minutes.  Maybe he should get a chance in the starting lineup?

I like the improvement as a team from the free throw line (75%) and from long (53%).

I've said this before... opponents who leave Romeo open do so at their peril. 

Blasingame seemed inconsistent.  There were moments when he played well, but then he'd make a freshman mistake.  Better to make them now and learn, I guess.

CNU85 mentioned that our 3rd team pulled away from them at the end, but in my opinion sending out 5 fresh players at the end against their 8-player team was approaching cruel and unusual punishment.  They were whipped.  Of course our 3rd team of former high school superstars would pull away from them.  How would you have liked it (as a MdBible player) to see a 6-9 whirling dervish with great ball handling skills (McShephard) come in at that point of the game when you're already exhausted?  But, the only time our 3rd team is going to see PT is when we win big like this, so you've got to give them the chance.  I just wouldn't be too proud that they did so well against this team in particular.

Hmmmmm....well, then....ball game last night; Capts had some pretty substantial rust showing in the first half from the exam layoff....10 turnovers.  They picked it up in the second half, only six TOs.   You could hear Coach Woolum urging folks to run their sets in the first, not so much in the second half.  Also spacing was much, much better in the second half.   Romeo had a couple of nice pull up jumpers....was good to see him score off of dribble penetration..... 
Looking at the next three games.  If the Caps go 3-1 that would, I think, be a HUGE success!

I'm really not ballgame or am I?

Hey NNASID, was that you behind the mic last night?

[Hampton U SID]

I was there..but that wasnt me behind the PA...Left early..had things to finish off

I believe that gentleman does the PA for FB games...goose can correct me on that.

I really liked the new guy, except that he forgot to play the National Anthem.  But if he's going to call our games he's going to have to buy an electric blue suit and break it out on special occasions.

I don't know... does narch have a 6-8 bouncing baby boy?
