MBB: USA South Conference

[narch]

the monarchs get the kazakhstan national team tonight - kazakhstan just got beat by a very good d2, mount olive college, last night - they were up by 2 at the half and lost by 14, 84-70 - should be a good challenge for the monarchs...maybe mu can catch them looking ahead to ncwc on friday

the ncwc site has a great write up on the kazakhstan national team

Narch, from what I saw at the GC-unc-g game, the kid from Trinidad is going to be trouble. Also looks like Nicholson spent some time in the weight room. Guy from South Africa is nice.  yea thats his name Guy.

the monarchs lost 85-70 in the exhibition last night - i didn't get to see the game, but kazakhstan is a pretty big and experienced team - looks like they played their starters for most of the game...mu had only one player log more than 25 minutes - the monarchs closed to 8 points with 2 minutes left, but ran out of gas - mcdade led the monarchs with 25 points

Hornets looked solid in the scrimage against Bridgewater the other day.  Open up tomorrow night with a game against UMd-Eastern Shore. Although the game doesn't count in the standings, it should be a good chance to get the rust off the ball...

Ouch - just pulled up the Hawks website and they just played VCU.  Hornets may be in for a long night...  Double ouch - they have a couple 6'6" - 6'10" guys on the roster...  but I always think it's good to get some time in against bigger, stronger opponents. 

Oh well, finally get a chance to listen to something on the radio other than "SU rushes for a 2 yard gain on the play."   

Go Hornets!

With all these games between the GSAC and USA South I'm really going to just bite the bullet and read all the basketball stuff as well.

I know we've talked it on football but is it just me or did the two conferences really add a lot of games with each other the last two seasons — call it the GSAC's post Fisk era ?

Anybody at AU going to opening night against Murvul, Id love to hear what the Scots do in the post-posts era in a real game. The scrimmages aren't revealing enough to me as to how they'll play with a true rotation.

[CNU85]

It does appear there are more games between the GSAC and USA South. I liked the Fisk era!!

SU the sleeper this year? Ask UMES how they look this year.

Nice exhibition win for the Hornets last night. It was pre-season but it was the first ever win over a D1 school for SU in history. http://www.su.edu/athletics/hornets_news.cfm?spid=1815

Also here is a article from the Winchester Sun on the up coming season for SU. http://www.winchesterstar.com/article_details.php?ArticleID=2581
I cant wait to see the team in action. GO HORNETS!!

[sludge]

Well, that was a fine showing for Methodist also.  It looks like USA South is going to be a tough conference this year.

[CNU85]

It's gonna be a long season! I think there will be some very happy posters on this board!
