great headline...
Third-Seeded Huntingdon Stuns No. 6 Methodist, 92-89, in USA South Men's Basketball Tournament

how does the 6th seed losing to the 3rd seed qualify as stunning

narch · February 28, 2014, 01:08:58 PM

the echo in this room is deafening as i type...where is everyone?

what is stunning about the tournament? that the hawks and lagrange were the only two higher seeds to win and that m'ville is out of the tournament...i'm quite surprised by that turn of events

i imagine the scots fans will be pulling for lagrange...

as an aside, did anyone see hockaday's line yesterday? 19 points, 14 rebounds, six assists and five blocked shots...second teamer, huh?

Narch,

I do not understand how the awards and all-conference teams were selected. Hockaday is a very good player and should have been first team.

Looking forward to watching the Panthers play at 5PM and at 7PM. I honestly believe that LC women have a really good chance at beating Maryville and the men's game at 7 should be a great one. Greensboro College is a very good team.

Coach Lambert was quoted in the Daily Times as saying Greensboro played harder than Maryville. He was right. Hard to figure this one, although Greensboro at full strength is quite good. So, apparently, in LaGrange. Must be the coaching legacy. But wait,....

I thought the Scots had learned what it takes to win. Maybe next year....

Way to go Panthers!

I agree. I hope the Panthers represent the league well, and I know they will. It took much of the game for it to happen, but LaGrange at the end showed who the better team was in the finals.

congrats lagrange

If my calculations are correct, there is only one site within 500 miles for LaGrange College and that would be Centre. Emory will not host since they did not win their automatic bid and I don't see any other teams from the deep south making it in. It might be possible that Birmingham Southern would get in over Emory but that is a long shot.

Do you think they put LC at Centre and Emory or do they send us flying to another destination?

Ben Stein Fan · March 03, 2014, 01:27:35 PM

Looks like I was wrong about that. I still don't understand how Emory got a bye over Centre. This one is has my head spinning.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · March 03, 2014, 07:56:41 PM

Emory was higher ranked with a far better SOS than Centre... not sure what you are missing.

I need a Lagrange win over Centre. They can cause a lot of havoc in tournament basketball.

scottiedoug · March 04, 2014, 11:09:20 AM

I agree with Mr. Grubby. It will be great fun if LaGrange wins a few. Hire coaches from Maryville and do well!!

scottiedoug · March 05, 2014, 05:40:04 PM

Thanks for the nice feature on LaGrange!!

LaGrange gave Centre all they could handle, according to "reports" on D3Hoops. Congratulations on a good year.

Ben Stein Fan · March 07, 2014, 09:26:38 PM

I was at the LC/Centre game it was fantastic. Both teams played lights out and very hard. I can handle a loss when the both teams play an A+ game.

Centre just happened to make two more plays than LaGrange down the stretch and that was the difference. Great season for the Panthers and I can't wait for next season.
