[captj]

Current standing –
Averett 4-1 (13-5)
CNU 3-1 (12-5)
NCWesleyan 3-1 (5-11)
Greensboro 2-2 (6-9)
Methodist 2-2 (4-12)
Ferrum 1-4 (5-13)
Shenandoah 0-4 (8-7)

Predictions for the weekend –
Methodist at CNU – Captains in a close one
Averett at NCWesleyan – Bishops in the semi-upset
Methodist at Shenandoah – Monarchs in a close game between two disappointed teams
Greensboro at CNU – Captains
Ferrum at NCWesleyan – Bishops

Predicted new standing after the weekend –
CNU 5-1 (14-5)
NCWesleyan 5-1 (7-11)
Averett 4-2 (13-6)
Methodist 3-3 (5-13)
Greensboro 2-3 (6-10)
Ferrum 1-5 (5-14)
Shenandoah 0-5 (8-8)

I really like how things look for the Captains right now.  We've got 5 of our 8 remaining games at home.  But, we end the season with our annual NC road trip through Greensboro and Fayetteville, which is ALWAYS tough.  I'm hoping we have the conference regular season title already in the bag by that time.

the monarchs need to go 2-0 this weekend to stay in contention...stealing 2 on the road, against these two teams is darn near impossible, but it has to be done to make up for the 2 home losses - the talent and ability is there...when will monarch fans see it? - i'm hoping that it's this weekend - an 0-2 weekend would be devastating, a 1-1 weekend would not be ideal, but i think 3 losses are all a team can safely withstand and still win the championship, which means sweeping the second half of the conference games if they go 1-1...not likely to happen

the talent and ability is there...when will monarch fans see it?

The fans may already see it.  The PLAYERS need to see it.  Fans can scream, stomp their feet, berate the opponents and officials, but we can't go onto the floor and really impact the outcome.  I know because there have been times when I've wanted to, even though the only thing that I might still be able to do is commit a flagrant foul (and Cheney isn't the CNU coach's name).

The players have to believe it, narch.

Captj - the next time CNU plays poorly, I think you should run out on the floor, steal the ball, and bounce one in!!

You got that right!!

As Goose reported, SU drops another heartbreaker at the end, this time at the line.  Strong starts followed by losing streaks are becoming all too common at SU (year after year).  Come on fellas, we can't afford to drop all six in round one of conference action.  This weekend my boys turn it around with my support!

GO HORNETS!

Hopefully Steven Johns will return this weekend and help the cause.

I think Narc summed up the way I feel about this weekend.

Averett at NCWesleyan –  AU out plays NCW.

Greensboro at SU -  SU drops another one.

Greensboro at CNU – CNU rebounds and beats GC.

Ferrum at NCWesleyan – Is this really a question?

(Please Note the following predictions are for trash talking only: )

Methodist at CNU – This is the story of Long long drive, and a team with little Confidence... that rolls in and steals one.  (right?)

Methodist at Shenandoah – MC 2-and-ohMy for the weekend. SU Ohmy and 2

[captj]

I missed the Greensboro at Shenandoah game in my predictions above - I'm going with the home team to break into the conference W column for the first (but not last) time this season.

Predicted (REVISED) new standing after the weekend –
CNU 5-1 (14-5)
NCWesleyan 5-1 (7-11)
Averett 4-2 (13-6)
Methodist 3-3 (5-13)
Greensboro 2-4 (6-11)
Shenandoah 1-5 (9-8)
Ferrum 1-5 (5-14)

Averett at NCWesleyan –  AU out plays NCW.

Greensboro at SU -  SU drops another one against the Pride Which is comming off a stunning victory

Greensboro at CNU – GC Continues with a second key win. I think this one will be a close one.

Ferrum at NCWesleyan – Ive seen both teams play and the Panthers should roll over NCW

Methodist at CNU – Methodist

Methodist at Shenandoah – Methodist

[cnu85]

       Greensboro at CNU – GC Continues with a second key win. I think this one will be a close one.

I'm biting my tongue, trying to stay away from the immature and unneccessary comments....it's soooo hard! CNU wins by 20!!

Gullett has picked CNU to lose two this weekend.
I've picked Greensboro to lose two this weekend.
This should be interesting.

[captj]

Check your records, Gullett.  Has Greensboro EVER swept the road trip through Winchester and Newport News?  I seriously doubt it.

cnu85 and captj-
    Im curious to see what kind of crowd we get this weekend. This is the first game since, sheesh, what, VA Wesleyan that all the students will be back on campus. I hope they come out in force, I know they dept is trying to promote the heck out of it.
