MBB: USA South Conference

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

I think I may have said it before.  I think there should be an ODAC-USASAC challenge. I even e-mailed the commissioner of the ODAC last year about it.  The response was it wouldn't work out.  Seasons are started with tip-off tournaments and then ODAC would be in conference play already.  That was the response I got.

su...cnu shot 71% from 3-point range.  No quit in your Hornets though.  There will be no "give-me's" in the conference tournament...have to bring it every night.  Tough year for your guys with all the injuries....good luck the rest of the way.

ok, im going to stop complaining about cnu not getting offensive rebounds. tonight i paid particular attention to what cnu does when one of their own takes a shot. heres what i discovered... drumroll please... they BACK AWAY FROM THE BASKET AND IMMEDIATELY START TOWARD THE OTHER END OF THE COURT. they make no attempt to go after off rebounds, just as i suspected.  the reason that im not going to complain about it anymore is that this must be the coachs strategy. blasingame was the only player to go after off rebounds, and i think he did so because that was the only way that he was going to become involved in the offense. su had nothing for blasingame, no one that could even hope to contain him, but we couldnt seem to get him the ball. barton had a great game offensively, as did seldon. and heres a prediction regarding theo baker; he is going to be a GREAT player for cnu. not a very good one, a great one. he hustles and shoots so well. his defense is getting better and hes going inside much better than he did earlier in the year. and does anyone think that he looks bigger than he did early in the season? last comment... the starters and guys that play regularly must HATE the last 6 or 7 guys on the bench. i think that must be why every game is close. they dont want them to get to play. just a theory. those last 6-7 guys most be really frustrated. we have a couple of guys that have only played 6 minutes ALL YEAR!

The ODAC is pretty big and they play a full double round-robin so there aren't a lot of open dates to play with.

85 -- I don't frequent a lot of boards either. I think the academic focus of D-III lends itself to grammar police. Plus I'm a copy editor by trade, so I do not at all discourage proper use of the language.

Yeah I realize that too.  We play them enough times already in just normal games.  We play them total of what maybe 17 times.  That's 17 games out of the schedule.  All is needed is 7 games for the 7 teams in the USASAC.  I am not quite sure of the distance in miles but which region covers the most miles in terms of distance between teams.  Where is the south region in that mix?  There are alot of games played between the ODAC and USASAC.

Pridesportbballguy - You're cool with me!  I'm really glad I got to meet you at the Soup Bowl last fall.  You're an active and interesting poster, so keep it up.  As you and some of the other posters get to know me better, you'll realize I have a very dry sense of humor, but I accept the premise that things I find humorous may not be taken in that context.

I follow Greensboro's and the USASAC's sports almost as closely as I follow Guilford's and the ODAC's, so I enjoy posting in both sites.  Just realize I have a long-standing reputation as a harmless smart-aleck and we'll all have fun!

Good luck to you and the Pride! 

We thank you for your support hasanova.

You're welcome.  I saw some clips of the Pride/Monarchs game on Fox8 last night.  Congratulations to GCP.  I'm going to look at your schedule and if there's not a conflict with a Guilford game, I'm going to drop by Hanes Gym.  "Thank you for your support" reminds me of the old Bartles and Jaymes ads if any of you are old enough to remember those.    Yeah, I know, I'm old ...  lol

There once was a guy in the slammer.
The Police - had lowered the hammer!
He's seven feet tall,
On the court, has a ball!
But on paper, he fouls out with grammar!

Just a little good-natured fun, guys!  Keep it loose, but make your college proud.

Not sure what to say about the last game.....saw good things and some not so good. We're in trouble come tournament time.....too many games lumped together. Our guys get tired, only 6-7 play a game with any significant time.

PUT IN #24!!!!!

AU managed to win a tough road game at Ferrum last night.  We were down by 12 at one point early in the second half.  Our big man, Brown, was able to score a lot of points in the last eight minutes of the game.  We only missed one player last night due to injury, but we're supposed to have everyone ready for Saturday.  I've copied the article from Averett's website below.

We're only one game out of first and G'boro comes to the Grant Center on Saturday.  It is a must win for us.  I hope the guys have gotten over the beating we took at G'boro a few weeks earlier.

Well, "college" was a generic term intended to cover all institutions of higher learning, but I see your point, CNU85.  lol  Let's rephase:

"Keep it loose, but make your college (or university or school or institute or seminary or academy or ecole or escuela or apprentice program or any other generally recognized moniker for an educational body supplying advanced learning beyond the high school level) proud!

Oh Dang.....now I gotta go look up ecole and escuela. I think I dated a girl from Ecuador named Escuela...
