MBB: USA South Conference

[SU97]

Let me just say, Ben Strong is just as good as advertised.  That guy is amazing.  I couldn't keep track of how many times I thought SU had him pinned down and then he would just pull some crazy touch shot and next thing you knw he's at the line completing a 3 point play.  I see why he's an All-American. Hasanova, you have got to be VERY excited about GC-Q's ODAC run this year.  I was extremely impressed by your squad - you could tell that they are very well coached and have a bunch of competitors.  Those guys never gave up and came back to grab the lead late in the game. 

but...  SU squeaked out one of the best games I've seen at Shingleton Gym in a long time.  I figured SU would leave strong alone and concentrate on the rest of GC-Q.  Instead, JLawrence and Onyie doubled the big man every time down the floor.  Surprising.  SU got everything out of Stevie Johns in the first haf, I'm curious to see what kind of numbers he put up.  Without his first half performance, SU would have lost.  I'm sure on the box score they got the usual from JLawrence and Onyie, but got some key outside shooting down the stretch from Adams, the artist formerly known as Robertson and Bentley.

Congrats to the Hornets!  Glad to see Coach Harris and the Hornets with some fire in their play.  Maybe the UMW loss was good for the team.

great win for su - gcq is now 1-2 in the usasac

just saw that the captains lost to lynchburg...kinda surprising, to say the least...

For those of you who are as old as I am, SU's #4, Jeremiah Lawrence reminded me a lot of Al White who played along side Phil Dixon in the early 90s when they were coached by Dave Dutton. Great win for SU and a well-coached game by Coach Harris.

Thanks.  A great win for SU, but a game GC could have won.  Their Achilles' heels are three-point shooting and turnovers.  I was worried about this game and I was right!  Ben is a great player, but basketball's a team game - some of the other guys have got to hit some outside shots!

I can't think of a better complement given to Jeremiah than that.

For those who remember that dynamite duo (from the CNU side of the old CNU-SU trackmeets - oops - bball games then) amen to that.....He was a beast

well both teams were 1-5 going in to the game...

yes...but i think that 99% of south region basketball fans would have thought that cnu would win, despite an identical record coming in, but that's why you play the games

su97 - are you starting to believe in your hornets yet?

i told you in the preseason that they'd be good, but you didn't believe me - having johns and onyie o back is huge for them...at this point, i'm thinking they have to be a favorite in the usasac

i just hope my monarchs don't go into a cnu-like tailspin after lopsided losses to gcq and m'ville

The funny part about SU is they have a very,very talented transfer coming next semester. I say they are a lock to win the USA South.  When it rain it pours for the Hornets this year. This kid could be the glue so those games like Mary Washington won't happen. Good luck for the rest of the conference.

captj returning???...all is right with the world

what do you guys think of the assists record set by the grinnell player the other night?  there's a pretty heated discussion on the daily dose...

Don't think it's gonna happen. He's tried twice to get signed up. I guess the bridge was beyond scorched....nuked maybe?

Nothing is ever a lock.  SU started with a 7-2 season two years ago...  then went 1-11 in conference.
