MBB: USA South Conference

[CNU85]

oh...congrats to AU!!!!

[notamensa]

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.

it doesnt look like jackson is going to be used that much. besides the york game, when we absolutely had to go to him, he hasnt played at all except for mop up duty against mdbible.

OK pridesportbballfan, I plan on being at the Coliseum tomorrow night for the Guilford/Greensboro game.  I'm bringing my friend who was a member of Guilford's NAIA national championship team (and my classmate) with me.  He's also a former Head Basketball Coach at Averett.  Hopefully, he'll give me some added insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each team as we both root for Guilford.    If you spot me, drop by and say hello.  Go Quakers!

I know i havent said anything this season on here, just wating for the season to get going well but this is the most talented team that i have seen since i have been around GC. I as well will be at the game tommorow night along with Pridesport. Oh, and by the way congrats to the Cougars for knocking off #1 in the nantion.....great win for the usa south and the cougars. Now back to tommorw I think it will come down to two things in a nut shell:

1. The Rebounds---- The Pride have got to get on the boards and stay on them.

Keys to accomplish: Keep 7-0 Ben Strong off the board

2. Tournovers

This is the big things that the Pride will need to do to go 4-0

Well, Greensboro does appear to have a talented team, but then again, so does Guilford.  I've been watching Quaker basketball for a long time and I'd say this may be their most solid team since they moved to DIII in 1991.  Something, then, has to give tomorrow night.    I'm not sure if Ben Strong is, as you say, a 7-footer, but I have seen him listed as 6'10" or 6'11" - take your pick.  He is one of the keys to the game - if he plays well, Guilford usually plays well.    The Quakers also have a lot of capable guards this year and a 6'10" freshman back-up for Strong, so let's toss it up and see what happens.   It should be a good game.  Go Quakers!  Peace

cnu 84, rmc 77

huge win for the captains in a GREAT game.

one of you old timers tell me - have we ever had a better point guard than barton?

[Hampton U SID]

From one who has seen a few in my day there (former Ass't SID):

by the time Barton's done he will rank with
Steve Artis (1990-93) quick as lightning, averaged 17-19 ppg, 7-8 apg, #2 alltime d3 assists 909)
Andre Bolton (1993-96) Barton built like him...lean and steady....ranked #7 D3 All-Time Assists 737)

Hey Rikki....forgetting anyone?

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

USASouth has really impressed me so far.  We usually stuggle against ODAC schools.  Looking forward to a the game tomorrow.  I think it will be a great game.

[CNU85]

I think I'll even cheer on Greensboro tomorrow night!!

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

Now I know you are seriously dilusional CNU85!!!

NNSID, I think you hit the nail on the head with those two. He will be in their company when all is said in done. He has the ability to make plays, that's for sure!

with
Steve Artis (1990-93) quick as lightning, averaged 17-19 ppg, 7-8 apg, #2 alltime d3 assists 909)
Andre Bolton (1993-96) Barton built like him...lean and steady....ranked #7 D3 All-Time Assists 737)

Congrats to our Captains on a great game last night!   Was DEFINITELY a good one for the fans.   An interesting lineup down the stretch!  Some big, no HUGE plays made by everyone in the last 7 or 8 minutes.

by "interesting lineup" you must mean sans riley. baker sure hit a huge trey right when we needed one, didnt he? once again, riley attempts and misses a three (0/6 for the season). at least hes taking those shots early in the game. i like this team so much better with baker as a starter. that way, riley can come in for one of our post players when we need him. he could be so valuable used this way. were thin down low and we have one of our strongest post players playing a wing? i dont get it. when hes in there with blasingame and lewis it seems that he wants to play on the outside too much.

i thought that one of the best moments in the game was about 8 minutes into the first half when the biggest player on the court (#34 rmc) missed a 3 point shot and the smallest player on the court (donta seldon) brought down the rebound.  i laughed so hard i almost cried. a few minutes later the captains are up by 10. great crowd last night, especially the chairback section with you oldtimers. i dont know why more werent there. lots came in fashionably late, but there were still way too many seats open.
