I've discovered film of Narch playing hoops. He was a rebounding MACHINE!!!!

I saw this earlier.  Narch does, however, need to work on his lay-up drills.    Nice intentional foul on his teammate as well.  lol

Interesting Hasanova....keep us posted. Shouldn't J&W be called the Chefs?

I would go with Chefs also.    Reality hit the 1st year Pacers yesterday, however, as some ODAC team called the Quakers creamed WPU, 93-56.

hate to say it that the CNU win looked great the other day but not so great now that RMC is 0-3.  Dont want to knock CNU just wish RMC was better so we could get a true measure of how good CNU is. 

Murvul dominated Centre.  They were just too big.  For the first time in a long time, MC has some size and size matters.

The scots take on Johnson University, a bible school, Monday Night.  I am planning on being there.  It better be worth my time or I will have to use my kids as an excuse to not attend the games.

i missed those intentionally...belgian contracts have huge escalator clauses when you get to 8 rebounds...in that particular game i was sitting on 4 with just a few minutes remaining, so i had to get mine - spent the bonus in a good brewhaus

CNU with a big win on the road against next year conference opponent Salisbury. SU was 3-0. CNU went up 44-19 at the half. then hung on to win 77-63. Lots of play from the bench. Biberaj took a night off. Looking gooooood!!!!!!!!!!

Went to the CNU/Wesley game tonight. The Captains missed Tre Benefield as they struggled big time at the offensive end. I didnt think either team would come close to 60 points if it wasnt for the fact they played four overtimes. Great game to watch as a fan with all the free basketball we got to see. I didnt get to catch the first game but I heard John Carroll is extremely good as they have been in the past. Hopefully Tre will be back for tomorrow's championship game. CNU couldnt get it going on offense and seem all out of sorts without their leader. I saw the VA Wesleyan coaches sitting in the stands taking in the game. Hoping they didnt realize someone was missing, doubting it but I can dream!

well, murvul played the kind of weekend that was awesome in the mid 90's, no one really posted a lot of d3 bball stuff on the internet so you could just act like that weekend never happened, then win your home games and your peers thought you were awesome.  You know, back when D3hoops.com had a parkway background.  Ahh, back when I was skinny and there were college girls everywhere.

Well, it ain't the 90's anymore and the scots got punched in the mouth.  Unfortunately, I have already made plans to attend the CNU game next saturday but I may use my child as an excuse to not show up.  Also, I can just go watch Cuonzo's crew at UT.  I may use next saturday to reorganize my closet as opposed to watch the effort from this weekend.

The silver lining here is that Coach Lambert will not let them forget this weekend as some of them will here about it for another 4 years, yea thats gonna suck, but he will use it to humble them and get them headed on the right track.  Looks like Shoffner had a nice game today.  He is my favorite player since Timmy Blakeley, but still no Timmy Blakeley.

I look forward to seeing their frame of mind and effort after a week with Randy.  I know how the routine is going down at the Lambert household tonight.  Hopefully this will be a good lesson for a very young but talented team and they will learn what it takes to excel at the D3 level and it is a lot more than just talent.  The downside to losing to Emory is that those kids are smarter than the Murvul kids and when they beat you at basketball it just means their entire lives are better than yours.  yea, it sux.

I bet Coaches Bowers and Placeres were trying to sneak out of the gym with 10 mins left in the game and act like they were just fans and not affiliated with anyone.

Yeah.  Getting clobbered early, twice, no less, is a hard way to learn but Coach Lambert has seen this movie before.  I'm hoping the Scots are up for learning...after all, it is college.

[CNU85]

CNU coach is on hoopsville tonight at 8.

Captains ranked #18 in current poll and Mike Cherry made d3hoops team of the week. 

Happy Days!

CNU looked pretty good in beating Maryville handily this afternoon.  MC's shooting percentages were nowhere near good enough and CNU's 4 scorers did so.  Scots outrebounded the Captains but could not score even with good looks.  CNU's future looks good since the most impressive players are all underclassmen.  They seemed well coached and worked hard. 

Maryville will be better later this season.  Unfortunately, CNU probably will be also.

Scots up 7 at the half at Berry

I need more cowbell

[mattgrubb]

CNU moved up in the top 25 to 15.  I like that for them.  They are a little undersized to be ranked much higher but they are a dang good basketball team

Final Guilford 80, Greensboro 61

A strong inside game and three point shooting propel the Quakers over Greensboro tonight, 80-61.  Guilford essentially put it away in the first half pushing out to a 45-27 advantage.  Quakes dominated the boards 49-28 and shot 9 of 17 beyond the arc.  Five Quakers in double figures led by freshman Zeb Richardson's 16 off the bench.  He has great hands and finished 8 of 11 from the field.  Greensboro was led by Luqman Tijani's 18.

GCQ improves to 5-1 while GCP falls to 3-3.  Let's go "fishing" this weekend at VWC and see what happens!

The baby scots won a nice one today.  Brandon Givens is a beast and without a doubt the best player in the USASouth.  The baby scots finally shot the ball well.  They played hard and rebounded well.  A lot of things went their way today and they needed the breaks.  NCWC is a good team. 

Cant wait for the Lagrange game.  I always have mixed emotions.
