MBB: USA South Conference

[daniel]

Well, I can say this A U was the better team for 39 minutes and 59 seconds, what can I say, Romeo was in the corner with his shirt over his head with defeat written all over his face, they had lost in my/his mind and everyone all over the gym. Up by 3 with less than 10 seconds less at the free line, he missed it, Seldon went down and clearly was fouled, body check, I had a great view, he pulled his shirt out of his pants and put it over his head and clearly was in shock, what a great display of heart. He got more rebounds (offense/defense) this boy wanted to win, Romeo if you read this, give this boy a kiss. I know you already have. Romeo had a great tourney, as the brother of the last point guard I am very impressed with his heir apparent, Barton played like a veteran and he gave them a spark in the 2nd half when AU was hot and CNU was cold. Over the weekend the most solid player was Romeo, but in my opinion,Riley showed he's rady to start, he rebounds, he BOXES OUT, HE is solid! CNU was not the better team but they played with so much heart, I loved this game, I sat next to RMACOn coaches, they do not want to play either of these teams, in my opinion, AU can play/beat alot of teams out there, I hope they get in tourneywith the new format, (i'm not stupid, they would love to give the ODAC three before USAS gets two) Au deserves it, I love basketball at the D-3 level it has so much passion.

where do u get your info from.  the better team won the game.  cnu was up 41-40 at the half.  6 ties and 11 leadchanges an you really think au was the better team for 39 min.
please spare me.

[narch]

it's great that all of the cnu fans have come out of the woodwork, but where were you guys all season? - had to wait for them to win to post, huh? - i'll give captj, goose and cnu85 all the credit and credibility in the world...they post even when it's not popular to do so (well, except captj...since he ran off in a huff...c'mon, dude, we need your "random thoughts" on the usasac tourney and the upcoming ncaa's)

if pat & co. are correct in their projections for the south region, that's a TOUGH draw...vwc has won a lot of games in a row coming into the tourney (23, if i'm not mistaken) and playing on their home floor...tough - good luck, capts...beat the odac!

Eddie, I was at the game and  I know just as everyone there who knows basketball ,would say they were outplayed until the end of the game, they won at the end with great play. They were outplayed the majority of the game, they know it, I know it, the game went down to the wire, AU was on fire the 2nd half, but your opinion I will respect, but not except.

You know what Narch, I really think you wish you were in charge of this board, I know Ihave not been to a game this year,so posting would not be justified without seeing the team live. The last 5 years you have been really consistent with your posts, you are vey critical of CNU, but in my opinion you are very invious of CNU. You are the only guy who posts from your school on a regular basis and I when I read your posts I just get the feeling you are bitterwhen your beloved school from fayetnam doesn't do well. CNUis here to stay the board has more CNU than you can deal with that's why you are always on the defense. Narch,I would love to get a look at you but you remind me of the Narrator of the Wizard of OZ, you know all, look Narch I know your going to give me the breakdown of why I shouldn't post or I just post when CNU is doing well, but it just boils down to I post when I go to a game, bottom  line. Say what you will, CNU won the game, the kids fought hard and AU is a good team. Your team underacheived and CNU overacheived, bring it on, I appreciate my fellow CNU posters (CNU85 etc) at least we have 3 you can name, it's just not the almighty NARCH, get of the your high horse, 5 years is enough, I appreciate your effort but your a bit much, relax and go see a Campbell basketball game at the Cumberland County Arena

Um, CNU was really out played for 44 minutes and 52 seconds. It wasnt until Selden, lets spell his name correctly, it has two Es, hit the lay-up off a sweet feed from Davon that put the Capts ahead for what proved to be good.

Captains get Lincoln, AT LINCOLN, Friday night in a sub-regional!!

Damn rematch of the 114-112 game!!

[njlincolnlion]

Goose13:

You're right about a rematch between Lincoln and CNU in a 114-112  OT game played in Myrtle Beach SC.  The difference this time is that CNU is coming to Lincoln, and won't be playing the Lions after three straight games in a row on the road.  Additionally, CNU has not fared very well on the road this year, and the Lions are undefeated at home.

It should be a good game, but I think Coach Yuille will review the CNU game film, and a well rested pride of Lions should prevail aganist the Captains at home.

[narch]

You know what Narch, I really think you wish you were in charge of this board,

i have zero desire to take over this board...pat & co do a great job and don't need my help

I know Ihave not been to a game this year,so posting would not be justified without seeing the team live.

this seems like a very legit reason to not post for you...how about the others who have jumped on in the last few days?...by the way...i got an email from a cnu fan who read my post and said the same thing and even used the term "bandwagon fans"...i'll let that person decide if he wants to reveal himself...

The last 5 years you have been really consistent with your posts, you are vey critical of CNU, but in my opinion you are very invious of CNU.

i'm not sure what invious means, but if you mean envious, you're right - cnu has the best facilities in the conference, the best community support, the best recruiting advantages (location and cost), and cnu has consistently been among the best overall athletic departments in the region/country...sure, i'm a little jealous...i've never said i wasn't...what fan wouldn't want their school to have a great athletic program?

You are the only guy who posts from your school on a regular basis and I when I read your posts I just get the feeling you are bitterwhen your beloved school from fayetnam doesn't do well.

there are others on this board with mc ties, i just happen to be the most outspoken and unabashed monarch fan on the board...monarch96 and isoar are former monarch players, and there are others who have posted over the years

i don't know that i'm bitter when my team doesn't do well, but i'm certainly not as happy as i would be otherwise...are you as happy when cnu loses as you are when they win?

and let's not act like newport news is some resort town, either...i don't have some cute, condesending nickname for nn, but i've been there enough to know that if you weren't so close to va beach and williamsburg, that town would suck worse than fayetteville on a bad day

CNUis here to stay the board has more CNU than you can deal with that's why you are always on the defense.

i think you guys read way too much into most of my posts...i'm very rarely feeling defensive when i post (although i might be a bit defensive right now...)

Narch,I would love to get a look at you

why? i'm really not that much to look at - now my wife and kids...different story

Narch I know your going to give me the breakdown of why I shouldn't post or I just post when CNU is doing well, but it just boils down to I post when I go to a game, bottom  line.

no, i won't say that you shouldn't post...in fact, i thought my previous post made it pretty clear...i think every poster should post their thoughts more often, rather than waiting to come out of the woodwork when the team wins the conference tournament - if you choose to post when you go to games only, that is your prerogative, but you aren't the only poster who has re-emerged over the last few days...cnu fans opinions are as valid when cnu wins as they are when they lose

Your team underacheived and CNU overacheived

have you read any of my posts this year? i've said pretty much the same thing all season long - in fact, i might use the term grossly underacheived...there was too much talent on that team to win just 10 games

relax and go see a Campbell basketball game at the Cumberland County Arena

first, i have no desire to go see bad d1 basketball, and although improved, campbell is a bad d1 basketball team - secondly, i don't think campbell has played in the crown coliseum (i guess this is what you're referring to?) in a few years

[narch]

on a basketball note - i think cnu actually got a decent draw with lincoln, although i think that's still a very tough game...vwc is just so hot right now, i think it will be difficult for anyone to beat them, and i really thought that cnu would draw vwc (with miss college getting the first round bye as a south region team)

[cnufan]

If you look at the bracket, they did a lot of moving teams around. Like sending the Ursinus/Farminadale winner to VWC, sending CNU to PA with I think three other PA teams, two for sure. And then sending Macon out to TN to play Wooster, WOOSTER in the first round!! I would have much preferred to play Alvernia or Messiah!! Especially after having seen Lincoln play its third and fourth games in as many days. They are an amazing athletic team who doesnt play a lot of D, but when you have the scorers that they do, you dont really need to!

[narch]

that bracket that wooster is in is a BEAR...i think that could produce your national champion, if they don't just beat each other up completely

[cnufan]

Agreed.

[eddie]

narch ive been going to games since 1997.  ive posted in the past just not a lot.  uasually the guys on this board say what i wanted to say so i just read the post.  the game against au was one of the best ive seen in awhile(william patterson game)  so i posted.  next year i will try to post more!!

[CNU85]

just woke up from the dead.....actually, was out of town for the weekend....then when I returned I spent this morning getting checked out....official case of the flu and bronchitis....I just love it...2 days bed rest. I followed the scores on the internet (was able to sneak away from the convention hall on Friday to listen to the last 5-6 minutes of the game). Sounds like I missed the "Game at the Freeman" on Saturday.

My thoughts about Lincoln.....Lincoln will win easily (by 15-20). This is where playing schools like Maryland Bible, or Bubba's Cajun Culinary College, at home do nothing to help your team. CNU is pitiful on the road and just not ready to play a nationally ranked team. Now they get to play a nationally ranked team on the road - disaster! I hope I'm dead wrong, but I doubt it.

On a positive side - when we played them in MB, it looked like we matched up well. Who knows? Going back to bed - doc's orders.
