Huge win tonight against VWC!  We had a nice lead throughout the game but VWC came back as you would expect.  Back and forth for the last five minutes.  Great crowd, great atmosphere, great game.  We have Lynchburg Wednesday night at home

Not only a great win for AU but a great win for the USASouth, who usually doesn't fair well against the ODAC.

Does anyone know how long it takes to put updated statistics up on the USASouth website?  After the first weekend it was up on monday.  Any of games after that haven't been put up yet.

congratulations au on the huge win over the defending national champs. things are shaping up to be a great season of basketball. several teams have the potential to win the conference title this year. cnus loss to york seems more costly than ever. are you listening mike witham?

who guarded adair (4 pts)? im guessing it was boor.

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

4 pts and he fouled out in just 20 mins of action. The Rumley kid looks like he can play a little bit. Apparently he's a transfer from Fayetteville St. NARCH!! How does Coach Smith let him get away!!

i am so ready for the hsc/cnu game tomorrow night. anyone want to go out on a limb and pick the captains to win? we will need everyone playing at their best to win, but i believe that we definitely can win. ed riley absolutely has to step up and play better. i think hes the key. 6.5 & 6.3 wont get it done. he needs to realize that hes not michael jordan and stop trying to play like a pure small forward. hes really a 3.5 (not a 3 or a 4), and needs to play like one. stop shooting threes (0 for 5 so far). we have lots of outside shooters. seldon is .500 for the season so far, barton is .455. baker is .333 but will improve that statistic before long. as a team were 40% for the season, including rileys 5 misses. what is really impressive is that were 50% as a team fg% overall. i think were going to win.

I think you mean RMC/CNU game.

Notamensa...Are you putting the York loss on Mike Witham?

definitely not, the entire team lost that game. BUT, we would have had a lot better chance to win with witham in uniform than with him sitting on the bench in street clothes. we were definitely undermanned down low that game, especially with lewis and blasingame in foul trouble almost from the beginning.

not the first time ive confused the two.

[notamensa]

not much love for rmc in the pick-em contest over on the odac board. as of right now, cnu has 6 votes to rmcs 4. even when you throw out the mongooses vote (since hes a usasac poster), its still 5-4. you'd think that the #12 team in the country would get a little more respect on their own board. even though theyre playing at cnu, they still have to be considered the favorite to win.

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

I hope the RMC/CNU game is as good as I expect it to be tonight.

looks like the cougars aren't missing all that returning scoring and rebounding, eh

and don't forget Coleman....rumor I heard was that he didn't decide to leave the team until after recruiting was done.....we're short a guy who can come in and give the starters a quality rest. Coleman and Witham not suited up hurt the York game. Coleman not suiting up all year will cost us a game or two unless Luke Jackson can step it up a few notches.
