MBB: USA South Conference

[hasanova]

Well a game between Methodist and Shenandoah in Madison Square Garden would be a better game "then" what the Knicks are "thowing" around up there.

There once was a Pride with great fame
For posting up cagers - what game!
He fakes, then he shoots ...
More "makes" than he boots
But spells fouls at the line - a shame!

Please, Pride, I'm begging you to get these two words (then and than) squared away before you graduate.    Keep posting!

I saw your boy Dragon at a Internation Scouting combine that  I worked a few weeks ago and there was one other guy there from MU but I cant remember his name. I think Dragon will be a much better player out of college than he was in college

Any 7 footers or Michael Jordan types enroll in USA South schools this fall?

Since five USASAC teams are on the slate, I thought some of you might be interested in Guilford's 2007-08 men's basketball schedule.  In addition to the 18 ODAC games, Guilford will play Averett, Greensboro, Methodist, Shenandoah and NC Wesleyan plus Villa Julie and Emory.  The interesting game, however, is a Nov. 5 exhibition date at the University of South Carolina, which is not so much of a surprise if you know USC Head Coach Dave Odom is a Guilford alumnus and former basketball and football player.    What a dilemma for me since I have degrees from both!  Not really - go Quakers!

The Greensboro game will be played at Greensboro College this year.  I believe this marks the end of the Colliseum games.

If the attendance was anything like it was last year at the colliseum, there will not be enough room in Hanes Gym.

you can't be serious...please tell me this is a cruel joke...i mean, we haven't been talking about this for the last week and a half on the football boards

[CNU85]

any word from around the conference? I haven't heard a peep about CNU.

Finally...  some hoops news out of SU.  Congrats to both men:

Just hope the coaches brought in some shooting guards.

Copied this thread from the Football Board...

Of course, for you to knock us off, we would need to knock you off.   or something.

Hasa - can I get another round of those Coronas over here? 

Sure.    Hey, the Quakers visit SU this winter for hoops - you need to check out Ben Strong if you've never seen him play.   

Strong is a monster, VERY aware of that guy.  All-American. 

I like what SU is doing with their out of conference schedule. Playing a NAIA team (Houston Baptist University) that is transitioning to NCAA D-I this year.  Heading up to Shippensburg in Pa. - a D-II school.  Taking another trip to UMD-Eastern Shore for a preseason scrimmage and hosting a strong (sorry Hasa, couldn't resist) Guilford - who was ranked as high as #7 in the nation last year.

Heard that CNU has a ton of new faces. Freshmen and transfers. Also, coach spent part of his summer at Phoenix Suns summer camp learning their offense. He said he is trying to understand it better so that he can coach it. Not sure what all that means.

First game of season is against Va. Weslyan......yuck!!

I think it means the team will run their sneakers off.

Not sure if that's a good thing or not. I wonder how it will translate to the talent put on the floor. I can see one 6'8" blocking machine getting real tired of running up and down the court! MAybe he'll just stand under the basket and block shots. 

One thing for sure...it has piqued my interest.....looking forward to seeing how it shakes out. should be entertaining.

Yea, I read the article to—Phoenix style offense.  It'll be interesting to see how they use the big guy at CNU—he's patiently deferred to the upperclassman.  Over the last three games last year he averaged 18 pts/10.1 rebs/3.6 blks per game, has a 60+% career shooting average—plus only 1.3 turnovers per game for the entire season-not to shabby.  Could become a little frustrating working for rebounds and blocked shots while your mates are heaving up treys!  Plus rebounding will be important—not exactly a CNU strength of late....and ball handling....and a deep bench.  I guess it could potentially open up the middle—gotta make'm for that to happen though.   But hey--agree--it should certainly be entertaining!
