No cnu85, it wasnt me. I dont have that gay a$$ license plate!! I have one of my kids initials on it!!

hairston is done @ mc...he was exciting and quick, but i think the team will be better w/o him once a new rotation is established - still a possibility of a spring transfer at pg - moore, williams & mcevoy got a dnp-coaces decision, from what i understand - not sure if coach smith is trying to light a fire, or what, but i think mcbryde can really benefit from more minutes - shuford is pure athlete, and from what i understand, he's playinf center (keep in mind he's a cb on the football team, as well...not exactly the tallest venter in the league) - i HOPE moore and williams take this "benching" and start to play to their potential - if they do, the monarchs will be alright

95-46....10 minutes left..Yikes!!!

[cnu85]

CNU wins 115-57

Lots of bench play.....only 5 turnovers and 4 fouls....not a very physical game.
I only listened on radio......new guy seemed to play well. Billy Mac seemed to play a good game, too.

Random thoughts on the CNU – UMPI game.

Everything I comment on needs to be qualified by this disclaimer; we were playing Maine – Presque Isle. 

Obviously lots of high points in a double-up (115-57) game for the Captains.  It was quite a dunk fest in the Freeman. 

Every player on the team had double figure minutes except McShepherd, who had 9 because he was fighting a cold/flu, and he ended up with a double-double (16 and 10).  It almost seems unfair to send in a third team that is probably better than UMPI's starting team.

Davon Barton with a double-double and one assist shy of a triple.  I liked seeing him drive through the lane so often.  I guess any trepidation he had because of his earlier injury has passed. 

New guy Claxton showed me a lot.  We expected him to be able to score and rebound, which he did, but I was really pleased to see his willingness (or even eagerness) to give up the rock with GOOD passes.  That's a GREAT way to introduce yourself to a new team and fans.  We're glad to have you, Jahmar.

Don't look now, but Donta Selden is over 51% on the season from 3-point range (20 for 39).

Six players double figures in scoring, and NONE of them named Romeo.

What is McShepherd capable of?  He's got speed, sick handles, and tonight I saw a court awareness that really impressed me.  And, oh yeah, he's 6-9.  I hate seeing Matt Coleman in civvies, but I really like seeing McShepherd get a chance also.

Eastern Connecticut tonight.  I hope that the easy time we had last night won't make us unprepared.

Ill tell you this about McShepard, with Coleman hurt, he might get some playing time in the post, especially with his 6-9 frame. He was brought in originally to play a wing, imagine that, a  6-9 athletic wing, wow. But with Coleman hurt, I think the staff will make a move to him playing the 4 or 5, which he did well last night in 9 minutes of action.

What are you doing to us, Goose?!

[cnufan]

Not my decision!!! There's a high school track me going on all day, I do know that.

thanks

I dont think youll have to worry about him finding out, considering who he sits next to and how many times the PA announcer will mention it.

What did you guys think of the small paragrpah on the d3hoops page that talked about CNUs cake schedule? don't that have 18-19 home games?

Donte Seldon is a great shooter and is just finding his role. last year he was trying to much to be Blake. Now hes just playing how he plays. He will get alot better from here too .. watch out !

[Hampton U SID]

I'll also make sure to remind him a bit.

Random thoughts on the Captain's 62-57 win over Eastern Conn. St. –

Free throws kept this game closer than it needed to be.  We made 43% in the 1st half, 53% in the 2nd, and 50% for the game (12 for 24).  I think I could bou...  well, you know.  Blasingame had a good game otherwise, but he made only 2 of 6 free throws.  He's way better than that.  He was shooting 82% until tonight.  Barton 0 for 2.  Lewis 4 for 7.  No one made all of their attempts.

The officiating was absolutely horrendous.  Those guys should have been required to clean the gym after this game as punishment for their incompetence.  Especially that little guy.  Once again, the calls were totally arbitrary. 

Davon Barton only played 21 minutes and was really missed.  We really need him in the lineup at crunchtime, and tonight he was on the bench in the closing minutes.  I guess CJ felt that he was just too ineffective playing with four fouls and let him sit.

Korey Lewis had a great 2nd half.  After an 0 for 3 1st half he puts together a 6 for 9 2nd to finish with 16 and 7.

Only 10 3-point attempts?!  We're supposed to be a perimeter-strong team and we played tonight like we didn't have any shooters.  Except for a key trey late, Romeo couldn't seem to get open.

McShepherd had some good (but brief) minutes.

How can Purdham play 13 minutes and only have 2 turnovers to show for it?!  No points, attempts, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, fouls.  Nothing in the box score but 2 turnovers.

Riley once again effective.  He's over 60% on fg% for the season.

Be a little more specific about where the "small paragraph" is.  I can't find it.
