Hey - I haven't seen SU this year to compare tonight's game. CNU had an off night - Romeo 1-6 from 3, the team shoots 52% from the foul line...11 TO at the half....and still won. I would think SU had an off night as well. If not, other than 1 player, I wasn't impressed. SU is small and yet CNU's big men were running with SU. If you're gonna play small, you better play faster than that.

Blasingame - WOW!!! 15 pts, 13 rebs, 4 or 5 blocks....nice touch from the FT line.

[cnu85]

Look out!! I'm 3-0 in my conference picks tonight!!

[hoopshops]

Good job Monarchs way to get back in the winning column. Hey, I'm 3-0 in my picks not a bad way to start

Random thoughts on CNU (10-3, 1-0) over Shenandoah (8-3, 0-1)

Ladies and gentlemen of the USASAC, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Mark Blasingame.  15 pts., 13 rebs, 5 blks, 36 minutes of terror for the SU post players.  Onyie (6 pts) is going to have nightmares about a 6-8 freshman repeatedly rejecting him.

I'd like to revise my prediction for USASAC POTY.

I predicted it would come down to rebounds and turnovers... we won the rebound battle, but lost the turnover battle big-time.  A stifling defense won this one for us.  SU 35% fg for the game.

Free throws are going to cause us to lose a heartbreaker at some point this season.  52% for the game.  2 for 9 in the last two minutes of the game when SU was fouling us to get back into it.  It almost worked.  Read that last part again... 2 for 9 in the last two minutes of the game!

Officiating horrible, blah, blah, blah.  That bald guy must have thought he was on TV.  Waving his arms wildly, pointing repeatedly where the player stepped out of bounds, then literally throwing his entire body to signal the turnover in the other direction.  What a clown.  It's called BASKETBALL, not officiating.  The game isn't about you.

Townsend has game, but he also has a license to foul.  After 39 minutes of hacking, moving picks and body fouls, the zebras finally called him for the very first time when he tackled our guy to stop the clock.  I guess when you're 5-8 the refs let you get away with a little bit.

Great defense from Riley.  I think he'll be in Onyie's nightmares also. 

Good efforts from Claxton, Purdham, Barton, Lewis.  An off night for Selden.  A tough night for Romeo, even though he put up 15 points.  It seemed he had a Hornet in his jersey all night.

Overall, a great game for the Captains.  Bring on Carnegie Mellon!

USASAC - ODAC Senior Game

Eugene Grant (MC)
Seth Thomas (MC)
Jeremy Romeo (CNU)
Adam Purdham (CNU)
Nigel Kelly (FU) 5 min/gm
Jermaine Artis (NCW) 7 min/gm

It's looking like we're going to need to put every senior in the conference on the team regardless of their ability.  I'm starting to think this game isn't such a good idea after all.  WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE SENIORS ON OUR TEAMS?!  FU and NCW with one senior each!

Yikes!

Gullett is in his dorm room doing (deleted)

Why do you consider this necessary?

[cnu85]

Actually Pat - absolutely nothing we talk about in here is necessary. If we all were to make only necessary comments, the message boards would be blank - not one post!!

However, given that this is your forum and you have asked the question - a few thousand posts ago GCGullett posted that GC had the best backcourt in the conference. After we all got up from the floor laughing, we figured he was on drugs and I made the comment about the (deleted). After MC beat GC the (deleted) comment was referred to again.

[Swish3]

ShenanDOH....I like that!  Uno Haiku got worked last night!

GO CAPS!

[cnu85]

Swish,

Where have you been? Nice game last night. Saturday will be a little tougher! As CJ said on the post game....it will be a test for Blasingame!

[sushotblocker04]

OK so I picked 2 of 3 correct for last nights games....UNFORTUNATELY my Hornets weren't one of them.  Def. didn't make it down to CNwho, and for some reason the audio feed was all screwed up on my computer but it seems like there were enough of you captains fans there. OK....good game guys. It appears I underestimated this Blasingame kid, impressive stats for the first conference game.

SU was off their game if they shot 35 percent on the night. I'm sure Coach Harris didn't let them forget that after the game and still won't tonight in practice. Gotta give the guys some credit though, its gonna be a tough season. SU shot 35 percent for the entire game and only lost by 4, thats not exactly bad, but its not good either. It appears CJ had his team ready to keep us off the glass and defend our big men. Lawrence, ONUNAKU (Swish), and Brodie totaled 18 points. This is never good, look for them to come alive on Saturday vs. NC Wes..

Speaking of NC. Wes., the bishops lost to Chowan last night in OT 85-99. The Bishops had 4 players in double figures with Arrington and Hall leading the way with 29 and 18. Like I said in the earlier post, these guys pretty much are the team, especially if they both played 42 minutes. Something thats different is....I'm not seeing 2 names on the Bishop roster that I saw a week ago. Anyone know where Spears and Moore are??

Looks like Chowan took offense to being boosted out the USA SOUTH....5 players in double figures 3 of which (Lathan, Artis and Hambrick) with at-least 10 boards each.


Swish where ya been?

Oh and Gullett....great backcourt   ....need a bench though.

Good luck to the Hornets on Saturday..

HAS ANYONE SEEN RUMPLESTILSKIN THIS YEAR?
