ive never hears of such a rule.  i smell bull!!

[mybleedinghands]

narch,
those blasted flames did try to take advantage of the rule! they were able to convince ncaa officials to let them play 2 extra minutes at the end of the first half! they were able to run up the score to a point where we were beyond capable of coming back from! told you they were scared!

except that i wouldn't have made that post were that the case

scottie, sorry to hear the hornets couldn't take down the flames, and i'm glad you can take a little ribbing and good natured joking...the box score i posted was the "live stats" box, and thus, unofficial...there is no such rule, eddie...it's complete bull hooey

OK, now I'm a bit concerned.  Curry made a huge comeback to win on the road against a very good Trinity (CT) team.  I thought that they might be able to split their two games this week, but that the W would be the home game on Tuesday.  Should be a very, very good test for the Captains tonight.

Does anyone know what the criteria are for D3 hoops travel?  Specifically, how far must an away game be before the team gets to fly?  I'm 6-4 so I know how uncomfortable public transportation can be, and I can only imagine how torturous a bus ride must be for someone much taller than me.  If Curry bussed down here from Mass. they will have to be really, really road-weary.  I guess I'll know in a couple of hours which it was since usually the opposing team's bus parks right in the middle of our parking lot, diagonally, taking up as many parking spaces as possible while they sit there idling, spewing out diesel fumes for 5 hours.

depends on the school and finances.  I dont think there is a *rule* on how far is a flight vs. a bus

[cnufan]

College of St. Joe's bussed down here and its about 12 hours to Vermont. From Milton, Ma, which is south of Boston, its about 9 hours away, maybe 10. Mapquest has it at 633 miles and 10 hours and 48 minutes of travel, but thats usually on the long end of it. Only "rule" comes in during NCAA play and thats it, during regular season play, its on the school to decide how they want to get there.

Outstanding!!! Curry had six players on the court for 10 seconds before anyone noticed and they get t'ed up, CNU makes both free throws, go up one, 66-65 with 21 seconds left in the game.

[cnufan]

Offensive foul by Curry turns the ball over with 5.8 seconds left and still up one.

[cnufan]

Matt Coleman blocks a three at the buzzer that could have tied the game, Captains win 68-65.

oops...guess I should look at my tickets for game time...I was just getting ready to go to the game!!! 

[cnufan]

Atta boy 85, atta boy!!

[Three Sails]

I have heard of the "6th Man" helping to win a game but never a "6th Man" losing it.  Nice come back by the Capts after terrible shooting % in the first half.  Gotta get some of those shots to drop!

Narch & cnu85: 

How is CNU and Greensboro in Basketball?  I see Lincoln plays them in a tournament in Myrtle Beach, on 12/20 & 12/21.

Any info would be appreciated  .
