MBB: USA South Conference

[CaptJ]

The Captains just need to take care of their two games and not worry about who defeats who and who loses to who and all that rot.

Amen, brother! 

[CaptJ]

I sure hope that Thomas Whinnett is nominated for Player of the Week.  He averaged 24 points and 9 boards for the 3 games, all WINS for the Captains.  Come on, CJ... send in the nomination.

Contemplating a road trip...not sure if I can swing it...2 meetings at work to get around.

RTT - how far to Greensboro? Then, how from from there to MU and then back to NN?

4 1/2 to Greensboro, from there its about 2 to Fayetteville and from there its 4 hours home.

Why don't you two let the rest of us in on the joke.

i have an uneasy feeling about the mu/ncwc game tonight...the bishops are so talented, and there is always a little something extra between these two teams - the monarchs need this win in a bad way if they want that #1 seed...

by the way, i'm also NOT looking forward to mu playing cnu on saturday

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

I hear what you are saying narch, NCWC is scary talented but you really dont know which team is ever going to show up. It could be the team that dropped 400 on CNU in Rocky Mount or the one that shoots 15% from behind the arc. And given that its in Rocky Mount, that scares me much more.

As for Methodist on Saturday, if we win at Greensboro Friday, yeah I would be scared too, but if we get drilled....5-7 it is.

I don't agree with that, mongoose.  I think there is a chance we could make the top-4 at 6-6, and that our guys will fight for every point they can get.  We are a different team than we were a month ago.  Whinnett has learned what Captain's basketball is all about, and his intensity is rubbing off on the entire team (with the possible exception of C. Taylor, who seemed completely uninterested most of the time this weekend).  And even if we DON'T get the home game, I'm still not giving up on this team.  We can win on the road, except maybe in Rocky Mount, and thank God we won't have to play there again this year.

[CNU85]

Yeah, I messed around last night witht he schedule and who should beat whom and came up with final conference standings. It was fun. I think, if I did it properly, that CNU could finish 7-5 with someone else. I don't think I had it where CNU would be 7-5 by themselves. There also could be a huge log jam at 6-6 in which case the "Hoodini" coin toss could come into play. (I probably shouldn't put " ". But to quote a famous d3hoops poster... "so")

Ok, who said "karma" "smite" "smiter" ? That is what I was talking about. I will say you are a tool.

just wear your pink!

Captj - he just called you a tool!!

You are now...Captain Jackhammer!!!


whew...and I haven't started drinking yet tonight!

[pride1fan]

narch you are an amazing individual, thank you so kindly.

...thanks, i guess...i just pressed a button that said applaud under your name...it's not like i ended world hunger or cured some disease - i can assure you i don't hear "you are an amazing individual" very often...

you guys know i could really care less about the whole "karma" thing for myself, but what bothers me is this...someone is obviously not man or woman enough to post on this board, but feels the need to "smite" those that do post here - i feel pretty certain that cnu85, captj, rtt, su97 and cnuone aren't "smiting" folks, yet we're the only ones that are posting...to the lurking "smiter"...please join our conversation and give us your valuable insight since you feel ours is so off-base that you are logging on specifically to "smite" us

2OT down in Ferrum...

Narch - the AU feed kicked me off with like 20 seconds left, how did  it end up?

i couldn't get it to come up at all...i have no idea what happened and it's KILLING ME...

edit: found a box score on the au site...monarch 75, au 68

the monarchs shot 10% better from the field (67.4%) than they did from the ft line (57.1%) tonight...mu shot a blistering 74.1% in the first half - mcdade had 18, mcbryde had 13, shuford and smith had 10

box score

am i really rooting for gc to get a "w" tonight??? - i think it's 75-75 in the bottom of the 5th...at least that's what d3scoreboard says

7:30 PM  Greensboro  75  Ferrum  75  BOT 5
