MBB: USA South Conference

[CNU85]

my son wanted to know where was the baseball team last night?? And come on football team....the students show up for your games! Where are you?

 I think we all agree Ed is much better around the basket and he brings a LOT of energy.  Blasingame played a great game, buy could have used some rest last night; 36 minutes working your arse off against some strong RMC post players was taking a toll.   Ron Spears played some nice minutes also and hit a BIG shot from the baseline.   Like most lefties he has a nice stroke.

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.   

Did you miss Davon's scoop shot last night late in the game?? Wow that was one for the books and so was Theo's three ball.

[Did you miss Davon's scoop shot last night late in the game??

davon seems to penetrate easily, and even when he gets in there among the trees he is able to change his shot and improvise so well. scoops, high arches, you name it, he has a huge arsenal.

Some nice coverage by the Greensboro News-Record for tonight's men's basketball game.  Looks like a good crop of newcomers for the Pride and a nice story about how Quakers Strong and Kimbrough have bonded together since middle school.  Seems Strong was recruited by BYU and Hawaii after last season's 1st-team ODAC selection, but they decided to stay at Guilford.  Thank you, Mr. Strong and Mr. Kimbrough!   Whew!  lol

I am with you Riki!  Davon's scoop was one for the "alltime CNU" highlight reel.   Also, Theo's three.....Spear's from the baseline....Dante's three.... and Blasingame's jump hook were all big shots down the stretch.  Plus, wow, offensive rebounds for a change.   What a difference those made!

I am glad the tickets are free for tonight Greensboro against Guilford, because parking is $5

Quakers top the Pride 78-74 in OT.  Game tied at 67 in regulation on a late Greensboro 3-pointer.  Snipes had 30, Strong had 23 (11 rebounds) and I saw at least four Pride players with scores in the 'teens.  I posted more in the ODAC site.

Tough game tonight against Lynchburg.  It was difficult to get up after the VWC game.  However, here's the article for the game

that was a great game tonight and i was proud to be there and watch a thriller just to bad that we could come out on top. But we defenently did not give up after trailing in the second half by as much as 15. But good luck to the Pride this weekend at the Bridgewater Classic. One thing how bout the freshman taking up the point and leadin the team in place to the injured McDuffie.

The Pride will definitely win their share of games this year.  I was impressed with your guard play.  I know you lost a heart-breaker last night (who knows what could have happened if your guy hadn't stepped out of bounds on that last inbounds play when down by 2?), but you lost to a very good team.  Good luck to Greensboro the rest of the season.

i was thinking that this forum has been terribly quiet, and then i realized why. no narch. in the last 2 days hes made a single, one-word post (about arringtons injury, thanks for that). from looking back at posts from the past, its pretty clear hes the most prolific member of the usasac board. maybe hes waiting for the monarchs next game/tournament this weekend. i see theyre playing baruch, who i remember was the other (along with york, ny) divisional preseason favorite in the cunyac. i seem to recall that baruch also played in the ncaa tournament last year. it looks like the cunyac is intent on invading the usasac this year. i hope the monarchs fare better than cnu did against york. care to come out of that self-imposed exile and re-engage, narch? we need your wisdom and guidance.
