MBB: USA South Conference

[SU97]

While playing that "what if" game, think about Jordan Snipes leaving MU after his freshman year to transfer to Guilford and also Ben Strong deciding to go to Guilford (he was also recruited at MU).  Those two decisions alone have changed the complexion of MBB at both schools for the past six years at least.

Maybe just a little

i'm not sure how close ben ever was to becoming a monarch, but losing snipes hurt...we could have used a few full-court shots

Snipes certainly hit two of the biggest for the Quakers - one versus RMC and one versus Lincoln in the NCAA's.  Not just game-changing shots, but more like season-changers.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the last NCAA appearances for SU were in 1989, 1991 and 1995. SU was close in 2003, losing in the finals of the USASAC and finishing 10-4 in conference.

Correction: 1996

That would be cool.  But the Hornets have a LOT of hoops yet to play this season, and the reality is that the banner is up for grabs and any team has a shot at it.  Even my Captains.

Now everyone knows it... the best basketball player at CNU is a girl.  Lady Captains 16-0.  No problem recruiting into the women's program.

I still think NCW and CNU are the teams to beat...  but it's a colossal weekend for the Hornets. You have to win your home games. If SU really wants to make a push for the league title, then they have to win both games. That would push them to 5-1 and I think the second half schedule is a kinder-gentler machine gun hand...  FC, AU and NCW make the trip to Winchester in the second half, which should give a little more hope to the Hornets chances.

It all starts this weekend. Go Hornets!

Whoop, whoop, whoop... CNU is a .500 team again!!!!  We beat a winless team to go to 8-8.  Methodist fought hard in a hostile environment .  CJ must be so proud of win number 495.  Only 5 more to go!!!!

GO CAPTAINS!    FIRE CJ!!

Any win is a good win but everything seemed backwards.  The little guys in green consistently ran the court and penetrated to the hoop while the bigger guys in white were content to walk it up and pass it around the perimeter.  Good things happened when we pushed the ball.  I was excited to see Mark take the first possession on the block and score but we rarely saw that again.  Why not take advantage of a 4" height advantage?  The ten point burst right before half was a backbreaker for MU.

Play the Freshman more.  The kid is a human highlight film and the home crowd loves it.  That's twice this year he has brought the house down with a breakaway dunk.

I think everone knows it now....the women played on Friday night, not as part of a double header....drew a rowd of over 1,000 for the lady captains....Chelsea dropped in 40 pts.......I was in stands with 2 of the men players...they were like....dang...we bettter get some W's.

BTW - the two guys I sat and talked with....top notch people! My daughter is friends with them. CJ recruited 2 good ball players and exception individuals!!

I don't think that it would make the team any worse, and it could pay dividends in the future.  Providing, of course, the kid actually improves over the years, something that I am still not convinced happens in the CNU program.

In the post-game interview CJ said that he offered the women's coach three of his players in a trade for Schweers and was soundly rejected.  No surprise.

Hey, narch.  What is your BMF formula you use at the end of the season?  I want to use it to evaluate the CNU players.
