MBB: USA South Conference

[D-BAT]

CNU announcers made the comment that Rob Pryor applied for the CNU job when C.J. Woollum resigned.

So just wanted to extend a big thank you to Woollum and the CNU administrators for not selecting Coach Pryor!

Not sure who could of beaten GB with those 1st half shooting percentages.

Well, I'm "not sure who could have beaten GB with those 1st half shooting percentages," but they certainly played a great game versus SU.

The USAC's last two undefeated (in conference) teams will face off this weekend when CNU hits the road to take on Greensboro.

Congratulations on the win, narch.  I could tell MU had potential when I saw them play at Guilford early in the season.

i didn't do much to deserve the congrats, but i'm glad that the guys found a way to pull the game out...they tried to give it away, squandering a 15 point lead with under 15 minutes to play, but jernigan came up big in ot and put mu on his back - not surprising, as the senior has had some really nice games throughout his career vs. the pride - mu needed every one of his 28 points last night

i saw a lot of that same potential early, but unfortunately the monarchs have not played to the level of their talent, in my opinion - there is a missing ingredient, somewhere - whitehead, jernigan, hockaday, combs and stallings are all really talented players individually, but they haven't played consistently and they haven't won enough games - i really thought this team would be a 14+ game winner with the talent they have, and they're sitting at 14 losses right now

on the bright side, they are 4-1 at home and they played cnu very tough in the home loss...unfortunately, they only play 8 home games this year

Well, fans deserve kudos for showing up and offering their financial support to the program.    Sometimes, it takes a while for good athletes to mesh into a good team.  Good luck to the Monarchs down the stretch - maybe they can make some noise going into the tournament.  Your AD does need to work on the home schedule ... eight games is not enough.  With a couple of more teams joining the USASAC, that'll help guarantee more home games in 2012-13.

When the Monarchs beat Maryville at Maryville a long time ago, I thought they were/would be better than they have been.  Maybe they have figured out how to put the parts together more consistently.  The too-few home games is a problem Maryville has had historically so maybe the "new" USASouth next year will help out on this issue.

[D-BAT]

As it was said to me today, Methodist is one of the most athletic teams in the USA-South!  They are far better than their won/loss record.

you know, i appreciate the love everyone is giving the monarchs...but they've still got 5 wins on the season...maybe they can reel off 9 straight to end the season at .500 (and in the ncaa tournament )

It can happen - '83 NC State Wolfpack!  Won their last 10 - first team to win the NCAA championship with 10 losses.

the monarchs stole one from su today, winning by 1 on a jernigan layup with 3 seconds left after trailing by double digits in the second half

mu improves to 6-1 at home...the fans who have only been to monarch home games must think the green & gold are world beaters
