MBB: USA South Conference

cnu 93
mu 91

cnu pulls out another last second win. they just cant seem to win otherwise. i thought that we were going to lose for sure. how is it that teams seem to be able to make so many late game treys against us? i thought monarch #23 was going to make one at the buzzer to win. too much defensive indifference on the part of the captains. at the end of the 1st half the monarchs get an offensive rebound and a stick back to cut the cnu lead to single digits, and then start the 2nd half with 3 consecutive layups to make it a close game.

i dont think we are going to get the conf tourney bye. au is playing too well to lose to ncw. the good thing about au beating ncw tomorrow is that cnu would at least get a home game in the 1st round. if we are able to beat gc tomorrow we should get shen in the 1st round. but no matter who we play, you can count on every game being a close one.

SU loses by 10.  The only thing colder than the hornets shooting was the wind chill outside tonight..  (38% from the field accompanied by a stellar 10% from 3pt land) I will say this for Greensboro - #30 for GC is all over the place, I've got to think he is one of the best players in the conference.  If it wasn't for LAdams and JLawrence (another double-double) we would have lost by 40 points.     

Great, now it looks like Methodist is coming into stride...  I may not even go to watch tomorrow...

eh...i was really hoping the monarchs could pull off the upset last night and ride a little streak into the conference tourney, as well as have a shot at a .500 record for the regular season

looks like the monarch post defenders played with a little "indifference" (thanks notamensa)...lewis and blassingame were a combined 20-26 from the field...lawrence must be chomping at the bit to play today

barton had 15 assists...15...wow

the monarch "bench" played well...wonder why lee, radmanovic and shuford didn't start

disgusting. the captains will play 1 more game this year, bet the house on it. especially if korey lewis is done for the year. bright is one of the best players ive seen this year in the freeman. cnu couldnt stop him, but then, they havent stopped many players this year. does gc have a couple of their football players on their basketball team? there were a couple of guys on the bench that looked like offensive tackles. i bet that for every cnu dunk we saw this year we saw 5 by opposing teams. i saw lewis make a couple this year, barton make 1, but thats it. like i said earlier this year, i saw a lot more when i was in high school.

i am appalled with the captains and the season that they had this year. how does a team with 4 returning all-conf players put together a season like this one? the 1 player that i am most relieved to be returning next year is not one of those 4 "superstars", but the guy that was 1st off the bench this year, theo baker. he showed a lot more guts and heart than did his teammates. i dont know what the heck happened to our hotshot all-world point guard this year.

has anyone figured out the bracket yet? who will be the last team to beat the captains in the freeman this year? what a dubious distinction that will be! im sure that all you guys that hate cnu are really happy right now, and you should be.

[notamensa]

since i have to pay for my conference tourney ticket, ive probably just seen my last game this year. about the only thing that would convince me to pay for that game would be for the coach to promise to bench every starter on the team and play the guys that didnt get a chance this year. yeah, right, like thats going to happen. and speaking of our illustrious coach, does anyone here think that maybe he has lost a little bit of his edge? i know that he is closing in on 500 wins, but could it be that he has lost touch with the players today? you guys have been talking about the increased academic requirements, could it be that he was good at getting the marginal student in the past that was really, really good at basketball, but that hes not very good at getting the really, really good basketball players who also satisfy more difficult admission standards? just a thought.

[notamensa]

hey, psbbg.  the os bullpen is going to be much improved this year. a few less late inning heartbreaks this year, maybe?

to he** with cnu hoops, im ready for opening day!

[notamensa]

heres the way i see it. as the #3, cnu gets the #6. fc and ncw tie for #5, and since fc beat the bishops twice, they get the #5 slot. that means that cnu gets ncw? please tell me im wrong! we couldnt beat them the first 2 times we played them this year, im skeptical that we can do so in the tourney without korey lewis. what a great season this turned out to be.

[narch]

mensa...your posts are too funny...you're gonna die of a heart attack by 30 at this pace

here is the bracket - with an ot win today, the monarchs get the #4 seed and ferrum in the first round...the winner advances to play averett - i think au is playing great ball right now and is probably the clear favorite in my book

psbbg - run the numbers through your formula, and see if they look like my rankings

laid back i am not. i do tend to take things a little bit seriously... even things as ultimately unimportant as athletics. my fascination with basketball is the biggest mystery of all. as i endeavored to pull off a single-breath 50m free in complete obscurity among my classmates, my taller brethren achieved heroic status because they had the god given ability to dunk a basketball. but, you know, i still wanted to be them.

[notamensa]

hey narch, id rather play fc than ncw. i think your guys got a good draw there. the bishops are scary good. your team only split with them, but took both against fc, so you have to be feeling good about how things worked out given the monarchs #4 finish. how did fc win more games than ncw?

Spoken like a true fair weather fan.  A true athletic supporter without an athletic bone of his own.  So if you're so done, maybe you'll do us a favor and log off after reading this for your last time...
You probably couldn't hold up the worst CNU payer jockstrap.  And before you say you don't, you know you want to.

I can just picture you jumping up and down stomping your little feet with your liberal arts curriculum falling more and more from your skinny little arms each time your frail, feminine little body hits the floor.

Long night saw the boys in green play tonight and they looked real good.  Co-champions.  I understand the tiebreakers but you give a conference team (SU) their only win in conference play.  You shouldn't be the number one seed.  No level of marketing will ever get USASouth to sell out games.  I really disagree.  Marketing gets people all the time to buy crazy stuff off the tv.   Anyway as it turns out USASouth is making a big step live "video" webcasts for the conference tournament.  I believe Gullett said on the USASouth website.  Where ever it is USASouth is doing it (I heard it from a CNU guy).  Maybe I am crazy but why does any team or any fan want to travel up to CNU for a conference tournament when it can be further south (Where most teams are.) It should never be a home game for anybody/any team for a conference tournament, where the winner gets an automatic bid.  A NEUTRAL site please USASouth here me.  I have more to say but will wait until tomorrow.  I am tired.

i think that you are picturing me a little too obsessively. why are you so fixated on me? i think youre sick, dude.

[notamensa]

So if you're so done, maybe you'll do us a favor and log off after reading this for your last time...

i will make a deal with you. if more posters on this board want me to go away than do you, i will. but if they want your repulsive and obsessed postings to end, you do the same. agreed? i, for one, know where to go for song lyrics that have escaped me. i know what this forum is for and use it for its purpose. im sure you can find a website elsewhere to exercise your dementia.

so, how about it, usasac BASKETBALL posters? who do you want to go away, roundbll or notamensa?
