Captains win to go to 9-8, 4-2.  Mark Blasingame dominated with 18 & 14.  Mark is only 2 points away from 1000 points for his career, and is also on pace to go over 1000 rebounds.  Only James Boykins and Antoine Sinclair went 1000/1000 and they were among our greatest players.  Without question, Mark can dominate a game when he is at his best.

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.

I found it after looking very deeply into the archives here.  Get your nose back in those books, narch.

narch's PVR (BMF) ratings for the Captains (ALL 17 games) -

Blasingame – 34.72
Green – 32.31
Taylor – 22.40
Russell – 19.08
Parham – 18.45
Capin – 17.73
Herrmann – 15.52
Baker – 15.35
Feliciano-Ayala – 11.43
Preston – 9.49
Going – 6.52

Not much to get excited about, that's for sure.  This is about what I expected.  Does anyone see a 1st Team All-Conference here?  Maybe 'game because of his rep but I think after we look at the other teams that will be unlikely.  Hopefully we will have a stronger 2nd half of the conference season.

What a wild weekend for the Hornets at home.

First on Saturday they come out flat against a hungry Greensboro team. RJ Smith just had a field day out there. Then SU made a lil run at the end but it wasn't enough. They cut it to 5 but a bad turnover and a GC bucket kinda killed the momentum. If SU makes some FT's things wouldve been closer.

Then on Sunday vs 0-forever Methodist it was a shootout. Im telling you this was a game for the fans and not coaches....All offense and little defense. In the first half alone #30 for Methodist had 23 pts. Kevin Kline went to work as usually and finished with 25. Id say the story of the game was the Washington kid though. He had 17 in the 1st half, shooting step back jumpers and driving to the cup. Then in the 2nd half he kept it up and finished with 29 pts. Even had a athletic block where he chased down the MU player from behind and glassed it. Great win for the hornets.

4-2....CNU is up next Wed. should be a good one.

A good weekend for CNU.  Another 4-2 finish in the second round of conference and we should avoid having to travel in the first round of the tournament as well as give CJ #500.

It was great to see Big Mark working hard for position and calling for the ball.  Even better to see the guards working the triangle with Mark and getting him the ball down low versus swinging it around the circle.  Mark is money when he backs his man up in the paint with the ball.  He had some nice moves with his left over their 6'8" center.

I guess we have smart guards.  Congrats to the guys (Hector, Jake, Going, and Clarkson) honored at halftime with about 180 of their best friends for getting good first semester grades.  It's good to see that there are still student-athletes at CNU.  Trible made the rounds and congratulated each athlete personally.

Looking forward to the Hornets.

OK, guys, who wants to win this thing?  NCWC is 4-1, but 8-9 overall.  Is MU the only team that really doesn't have a shot?  Sorry, narch, but the Monarchs are oh and seventeen.

As usual, it will be the team that gets hot at the end.  Don't be surprised if it is a team with an overall losing record this year. 

GO CAPTAINS!

Sure, anything I can do for you, narch.  :)  I keep hoping MU will break through, but we're getting in the "short rows" as my Dad (a farmer) used to say.

CaptJ I agree entirely. With no clear juggernaut program, it will all come down to who can run the table in the tournament.



CNU on the clock.

GO HORNETS!

CaptJ

I need to expand my vocabulary.  I have never used the word juggernaut in a sentence, written or spoken.  Plus one for you, 97.

Hornets race to a 19-6 lead in the first 5 minutes.  Captains seem to be playing with their hands in their pockets. 

Congratulations to Mark Blasingame for notching his 1000th career point.

End of the first half.

After a series of bad calls favoring the Captains, Josh Russell hits a shot from half court at the buzzer to give the Captains their first lead (36-35).

Bad call #1 - Hornets hit the rim with their last second shot but the scorer hits the buzzer signalling 35 second violation.  Mark Blasingame hears the buzzer and thinks the final buzzer has sounded and bounces the ball with both hands in what should have been a double dribble.  CNU is awarded possession.

Bad call #2 - Throwing the inbounds pass, Blasingame runs the baseline like it was following a made shot.  Should have been a travelling violation.  Russell hits the half court shot to take the lead.

Good thing the game is at CNU  ;)

A second Hornets player goes to the bench bloody and the replacement player checks into the game wearing a face guard.  True.

Here is what we have remaining on the schedule -

Methodist (0-2)    EXCELLENT chance for a win.
Greensboro (7-8, 1-2)   Good chance for a win.
Shenandoah (6-11, 3-1)  Not likely. 

I hate being right all the time.  Hornets sweep the Captains in 2009-10 regular season.
