 Hooper4life,  Simple game indeed. And like a cup many are half empty.

SU loses nonconference game to southern Virginia 93-79. Kline wasn't in the box score and recap said he's injured so he better be good by Saturday or SU is in a lot of trouble. Some guy went 11-11 from the field six threes and finished with 36 for southern Virginia...unreal

Thanks.  If you're an SU fan, all you can do is smile, shake your head and get ready for the next game if some guy goes off like that.  That's one of the best boxscores I've ever seen!

A much needed 10 point win tonight for CNU and #493 for CJ.  It will be tight but more games like tonight and I think we'll see #500 this season.   The team played with more energy.  It was good to see them get after NCW defensively with the half court trap and disrupt the offensive flow.

I liked the lineup change CJ made starting Theo at 2 guard although Jake was en fuego so Theo came out early in each half.  I think he could have gone back in and spelled Josh at 3 rather than Conley who is too small to play forward and gets mismatched against the bigger guys.

I was a little perplexed by the end of game substitution pattern as the Turnover Trio of Hector, Jake and Greene did their best not to give up the entire 20 point lead over the last 5 minutes while Xavier, Josh and Theo watched from the bench.  Seemed like we should have had our best and quickest ball handlers in there to close out the game.

I know nobody on this site agrees with me but I see a huge difference in the speed of the game when the X Man goes in to play point.  The kid just takes it up a notch.  Aggressive man defense, steals, fast breaks and points in bunches.  I still think that he's our guy.

Oh, come on.  He isn't that special.  He sucks at shooting free throws.

I've been travelling the last few days so I missed the CNU game.  It seems like we played one of our best games of the year.  I hope this is the start of something good.

GO CAPTAINS!

oh and twelve...hey, did anyone notice the inagural usasac hall of fame...40% monarchs! (and all well deserved, i might add) - of course, the inclusion of lamont strothers is probably more germane for this board...

Hey guys, I hope that things are looking up for your teams at this point in the season. I have something that I have never seen before in ANY DIII game last night. In the final seconds of regulation last night here in Greensboro, GC was down by 3 to FC. GC had the ball and misses a 3 to tie but FC rebounded the ball and fell to the ground for a traveling call. So GC gets the ball back with just over 4 sec. on the clock.  The ball was put in play, and GC got a 3 off at the horn and was ruled the shot was good on the court. BUT WAIT, right before they got set to start the OT period I look up and here come the officials to THE GAME TAPE AND REVIEWED IT. It was a great shot by Pernell Davis that went in. After review it was deemed a good basket. HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN A MONITOR (GAME FILM) REVIEW IN DIII BY THE OFFICIALS!!!!  It was a first for me.

The CNU game was a timely win ! Russell was actually at the 2 spot and Theo was at the 3 spot.That is why Conley spelled Russell.The main thing is the fact that Hector was a better floor General and gave the freshman a chance to see what is expected of him by the Coaches.Most teams would not allow their starters to sit so early in the second half.It caused a big concern in the second half when the guard shot a three for NCWC and it rimed out.That shot would have cut a 20 pt lead to single digits.It is true that Xavier was getting steals,but he turned around and gave it back to the other team.A vital piece remaining to the puzzle is getting someone in the lineup besides Green.I think Matt or Loren would be a better fit for the team.Either one would give Mark the help he needs in size and strength down low on both ends of the floor.

Hoops Xavier is definitely the point guard of the future.  I have a love-hate relationship with his play.  Sometimes he is a little out of control, but last night he made a couple of excellent interior passes; one to Green and another to B'game.  Just keep it simple X-man. 

I was really glad CJ started the seniors.  NCWs fast start might have rattled the young guys.  The substitution pattern late in the second half was a little strange.   Not only did he have Xavier, Josh and Theo sitting, B'game sat on the bench for 5+ minutes.  Little strange putting him in the last 60 seconds.  He was c-o-l-d and it showed when he was fouled and bricked the free throws.  He did recover to make a nice block on a Drake drive.

Wow, that list is amazing.  What an exclusive club!  Every selection is quite deserving.  If they keep the standards that high there won't be many new members.
