MBB: USA South Conference

[SU97]

I'd say it's CNU for the past 15 years.

I did look at that the years prior.  I mentioned just the recent years.  On the girls side on the other hand, its a different story.

I only have one thing to say, why can't there be one team on the men's side that can remain as to be the "perennial team to beat"

2008-09 (current)

Christopher Newport.   6-1

2007-08
Methodist...........   8-4    Ferrum..............   8-4

2006-07
Greensboro..........   9-3   Averett.............   9-3

2006-05
Chris. Newport......   9-3  Averett.............   9-3

2005-04
Methodist...........  10-2 

I believe the USASouth is unique when it comes to "consistency" at the top of the conference. (I couldn't think of a better word)

In some respects it will be rare for the USASouth to ever get more than one team into the NCAA tournament. It appears that winning the conference tournament is more important than winning the regular season title.

welcome back psbbg!

interestingly enough, if you had gone back 2 additional seasons (02-03 and 03-04), you might have seen more of a trend developing (hint...mu won the regular season and conference tourney in both of those years ) - mu winning the regular season 4 of the last 6 years is pretty consistent, i think (of course, cnu won 5 in 5 years from 97-98 - 02-03, and that was pretty consistent, too)

the monarchs got hammered by au tonight...first half was tight (29-27 at half time), but au just opened a can in the second half to win 70-55 - au is very physical and they play very hard...i still can't get used to seeing that - the cougars of old (pre jimmy allen) used to play hard only on the offensive end - connor had 3 first half blocks and finished with just 3 for the night...tough loss

Here come the Cougars... if they beat my Captains at home this week I don't think they will be stopped.  They are on a roll right now and that win would probably push them through to the end of the season.

GO CAPTAINS!!!!

I hope someone from The Daily Press reads this. Your coverage of CNU basketball SUCKS!! Tracy McGrady's knee received more coverage than CNU. The main office for the Daily Press is just down Warwick Blvd from CNU. Technically, CNU is the only home team for The DP. I know there is HU and W&M - but they are in other cities. I had to hunt for CNU Lady Captain's news. Obituaries have more info. HELLO - CNU Lady Caps have an All-American!!!!

HELLO - CNU men's team is in first place in the conference with a huge game coming up against Averett.

CNU had great coverage with Jennifer Williams on the job. Put her back covering CNU athletics!!!!

85 thanks for saying "exactly" what I've been thinking for some weeks now.    Both men's and women's teams are doing well.  But you DEF would not discover that in the Daily Press!  And the individual stories they could cover!  The girls have one player who will re-write the CNU record books and the men's team has two!  Not a peep out of the press.  I like William and Mary—but they are not very good this year—but their woes get plenty of ink.  I haven't checked their attendance, but I'll bet ours is better!  I don't get it.

Oops!!! My sincere apologies to Newport News Apprentice School. I failed to mention that the Builders are even more overlooked by the Daily Press.

And I cant remember the last time the amazing CNU beat writer Melinda Waldrop was either at Freeman or actually mentioned something about CNU in her wonderful "On Campus" piece she writes once a week. The coverage is utterly RIDICULOUS! Makes me wanna hurl its so bad!

[narch]

c'mon boys...it could be worse...like mu trying to get any ink the fayetteville observer...between campbell, uncp and fayetteville state athletics along with high school sports, mu is lucky to get ANY coverage...

Do this... at the beginning of the season go into the stands in each of the 7 gyms in the conference.  Ask the regular fans in attendance the following question... "If you could only win ONE home game this year, what team would you like to beat?"  In 6 of the gyms the most popular answer would be... CNU.  If I were in attendance that day I would say... "NCWC."  I hate those guys.

HAHA...Captj answering posts from a week ago!!! Ahhhh, that's the life...to be on "Island Time"!!
