It was a nice win over the DI ... sadly, it was an exhibition for GC meaning they can't count it for anything. Longwood is 6-14 in this season as well (Longwood has to count the game, so it is part of the 14 losses).

You underestimate the pride of D3 players in contesting "upper-level" opponents.

I think you misunderstand what I was saying.

I am simply pointing out it is hard to be rah rah for a game that didn't count for the DIII including all stats for Greensboro. Imagine if a kid went out and supposedly broke the school record for points, or threes, or rebounds, etc. ... the stats don't count just like the win doesn't count.

I wasn't saying anything about pride or enthusiasm for playing an upper-level opponent. You inserted that into the comment about what counts or doesn't count in what that game represents for the program and such.

Pride is something; it's part of the anything that you dismissed as can't be counted.

ronk - I was NOT talking about that aspect of things. You are inserting that in and thus because of your insertion you are assuming I removed it.

I wasn't talking about the players or coaches... I was talking about the stats and what the game is considered from a wins and losses perspective.

Maybe you should apologize to yourself for my dismissal of something I wasn't talking about or referring to. Feel free to have a conversation with yourself about the pride students and coaches have ... when I decide to discuss that aspect of things, I'll join in.

Maybe you should be clearer and more intentional in your postings.

Didn't think it had to be more clear ... furthermore, enough people complain about the length of my posts I figured I didn't need to spell all details out.

But to also state clearly the second time the point of my post and have it then repeated as if that was clear is a bit annoying.

good points D-Mac.  Would suck to drop 70 on a d1 team and not get the record for most points in a game b/c it was an "exhibition."  Flipside is exhibition or not, there were still two baskets, 1 ball, some refs, 10 players on the court and GC gave them a beating!!!!!

Oh absolutely. It is still a game for all involved and I know teams who are talking about some of those games years later.

The oddity being GC hasn't been able to win much since.

We at the D3hoops group and our partners are working behind the scenes to shore up some regional tourneys - at best. I think some who thought they could participate are now realizing they either can't (for a lot of reasons including number of games remaining in their pockets) or can't host. As a result, there are complications in getting it done and who will be able to participate.

Hopefully some more solid news in the near future.

Cool.  We have made sure Murvul is ready if there is an opportunity!  We are proud alums...........now that they are back in the receiving votes column.  We had to hide in shame for a while.  Our pride would show a lot more if they were in the top 15.  Unfortunately for the men, we have to give all our love and resources to the lady Scots b/c they are in the top 10!!!

Long Live The Legend that is Coach T!!!

Yes Mr. Grubby!  The 2 Scots teams may be good enough to beat people who play in another league and it would be great to find out! I doubt they will get the chance this year unless you have an unused pot of money you can subsidize with.  Meanwhile, there are worthy opponents this week.

mattgrubb

My wife has cut off my pot of money. I will use the last of what I have to find Coach Wallace's kryptonite.  The Scots need to beat Lagrange tomorrow to make things weird for the conference tournament.

Mr. Grubby!

Well?  Another tournament won?  And no more Crumly.

bballlover

Don't want to jinx my Lions , but they will show up. Could make it interesting. They split earlier in the foothills.

I am glad they are still playing! Scots are better than they were last time.

I love the Piedmont team.  I think Orry Clements Owens (hope I got that right) is as smooth as it gets at the D3 level, Foote is exactly what you want, and quick is good too.  They play hard and are fun to watch.  Now with that said, I hope the athleticism of Murvul wins the game.  With every game the Scots play it comes down to Chong, if he shows up big, then its a big win, if he doesn't then Nick and Myles have to find a way.  Never forget JR running the point as he can drop 30 when needed and he makes tough shots.  Just Glad they are playing and playing for a championship.  Since this is the western division title game, so it could be a semi final game, it is the 20 year anniversary of the McCord Miracle and if you don't know what that is..........then you need to find out if you're a Murvul Fan and don't ask if you are a piedmont fan!!!!  Ok, its a steal and a 75 foot bank shot made as time expires to send the Murvul v Piedmont game in the conference semis to overtime where Grubby did the rest (as usual).  McCord will be on the sidelines coaching but his magic is still there aka "he's still got it!"

Look at Coach P's career win % after this season....YUGE!!!!!!!!!  He should be coach of the year across the nation.  From 9-like 38 last year to 9-2 so far this year.
Im starting the campaign now and I need Pat and D-Mac on board for the Coach P for coach of the year train!!!!!

Also shout out to Scots Legend Kris Sigmund and both his kids committing to play for the Scots turning down power 5 offers and committing to play at a young age.  They will dominate for Coach P.  Huge News on the recruiting front.  The future is very bright for the Scots and Coach P will win at least 4 more CoY awards with those two!
