MBB: USA South Conference

[HornetFan4Life]

Tomorrow is the big game and its actually at 5 not 7.  The women play the 2nd game of the double header.

The Hornets have been playing well and getting contributions from alot of players lately.  If they can slow down Drake and keep Arrington from exploding this could go in SU's favor.

The last game in Shingleton the Hornets shot 63% maybe that can carry over. I say SU with a buzzer beater.

OK, here is a perdiction.  I am going to shock everyone and change my tune somewhat.  I think that CNU will beat Top-25 St. Mary's (MD).  Captains usually play to the level of the competition and I think they will do that and this time pick up the upset win.

2 straight for the monarchs...80-74 over ferrum...sigman with 22 and 6 rebs...jernigan scores 20 on 8-10 shooting

[CaptJ]

Congrats to MU... they were destined to "peak" at some point this year.  I predict that Ferrum will also fall to the Monarchs this weekend.

I perdicted it.

Big night in the USA South coming tomorrow.  Obviously, the biggest game of the year so far includes N.C. Wesleyan (5-1) at Shenandoah (5-2).  Winner takes sole possession of 1st place, if NC wins: they're practically in the clear to take this thing, if SU wins, they own tiebreakers over NC (due to the sweep of CNU and NC already losing to them figuring CNU takes 2nd or 3rd) then obviously sweeping CNU this year. 

PREDICTIONS??

It's 50/50 with SU and NCW, how about who makes the most free-throws wins the game.

Since Lenny Hall isn't around anymore SU might have a chance in that contest.  He drew a foul better than anyone I've ever seen in the USASAC.  Little SOB made the free throws too.

Yeah, i think free throws will be a big key and whether or not Arrington shows up.  We all know Arrington has potential to go for 30+ but he's had an up and down year so far, what will he do tonight.

This game might decide who takes this regular season title as well as POTY (Drake or Kline)

Kline barely cracks the top-10 in conference efficiency rating and you want him as POY?  Do tell us why.

[CaptJ]

Tough loss for the Hornets.  Man, I hate the Bishops.  I hope ANY team beats them out for the tourny slot this year.

GO CAPTAINS!

FIRE CJ WOOLLUM!!

[CaptJ]

I hope the conference season ends just like it is now -

1 NCW (bye)
2 Shen vs 7 Meth
3 CNU vs 6 Grnsboro
4 Ferrum vs 5 Avrt

Being the 3 seed is a LOT better than being the 4.  I believe that CNU would beat Greensboro at home and that Shenandoah would not sweep 3 games from the Captains and win a second time in the Freeman.  That puts the Captains in the championship game.  Let's just call it a season now and go right to the tournament.

GO CAPTAINS!

FIRE CJ WOOLLUM!!

[CaptJ]

Going, going, GONE!  Feliciano-Ayala starts at the point and gets into foul trouble early.  Parham comes in with a "heavily bandaged right thumb" and promptly turns over the ball two times.  CJ must have the same confidence in Going that I have always had... not much.

CNU starts strong but now trails 23-22.  Good game plan by CJ so far.

I listened to this game on the web and free throws were NOT what influenced the outcome of the game.

[CaptJ]

#20 St. Mary's (MD) leads CNU at the half, 45-43.

Captains playing a great game so far.  A few mistakes and a few calls by the zebras and we would be winning.  CJ giving the refs an earful on the way to the locker room.

FG% CNU 50%, SM 38%
FT CNU 5/7 (71%), SM 18/20 (90%)
REB CNU 12/5 17, SM 13/9 22  (NINE OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS!)

Almost.
