MBB: USA South Conference

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

Tough loss for CNU, just after getting in the top 25.  Well I can't say if I thought CNU was going to lose, but I will say this if you go based on this statistical thing I found called the power precentage.  John Carroll's was higher at 56% and CNU was at 54.5%.  Either way it should have been a high scoring game.  I think it should have been closer though.

i think cnu has to stay out of foul trouble, hit their 3s, and rebound well.

1 out of 3 doesnt cut it. no one had more than 3 fouls, but we hit just 26% on 3s and were beat on the boards by 17.

attendance 70?! if a team falls in an empty gym and no one sees it, is it still a loss?

I tell you, both games here tonight were very sloppy. The GC game was the same way except for the Pride came out ontop. The Pride will have to play much better tommorw to get by a scrappy JC team. So tommorow is going to be a big day for both USA South teams to inprove.

thanks pat...i guess i must have read about the 5 in/5 out substitution and my mind remembered (incorrectly) that they were a system school

I was working on about one hr. of sleep so I can see why that is.

Alright I am going to guess at more games for tonight using the power rankings.

Ohio Wesylean beats Wilmington College

Lycoming beats SU

20 turnovers...
Is that some sort of record for CNU?

Pride Win In A Thriller o Improve to 7-1, Here is the story

-GC 66, John Carroll 63

GREENSBORO, N.C. Lynn Bright's two free throws and a big defensive play from Bryant Camp led Greensboro College (7-1) to a 66-63 victory over John Carroll University at Hanes Gymnasium on Thursday night.

Birght converted two free throws with six seconds left to give GC a 65-63 lead. JCU's Pete Moran then went hard to the basket where he met Camp, who took the charge with one second left. Adam Nicholson (20 points on 8-of-15 shooting) made one free throw but missed the second. Derek Smith then hurled the rebound 90 feet, but the ball hit the backboard..

With 1:09 left in the game, a layup by the Blue Streaks' Chris Day knotted the game at 61-61. Greensboro avenged a turnover at its own end by forcing a turnover and subsequent foul by Day to give Bright his opportunity from the line. Bright scored 19 points in the contest, connecting on 7-of-8 from the charity stripe, tied for a team-high seven rebounds.

The Pride led 29-28 at the break. For the game GC shot 43 percent (26-60) to 40-percent for the Blue Streaks (21-53).GC was out-rebounded, 41-33, for the first time this year.

Brandon Mimes scored a game-high 21 points along with Terry Walsh's 11 points (10 rebounds) to lead John Carroll from the field. Day added 10 rebounds to provide a solid middle for the Blue Streaks (7-4).

The Pride's 7-1 mark to start the season matches the program best set in 1993-94.

Congratulations to the Pride.  Lots of dynamics here with Greensboro now 7-1 with another win over a quality program which, by the way, defeated CNU by 20 or so last night.  Interesting that Greensboro's only loss is to 7-0 crosstown-rival Guilford.  I'm glad both schools are having good seasons!

nice win for the pride tonight...maybe that power index is wrong (having cnu above gc )
