MBB: USA South Conference

Hey narch,

I don't think my Captains are appropriately represented in your PVR statistic, so I've analyzed your formula and I see what the problem is.  You haven't included the all-important AVERAGE ATTENDANCE statistic!!  I believe that when you do so you will find at least 7 Captains on your first team.  It should be like this...

PLAYER   PPG   RPG      STEALS      APG   BLOCKS   TO'S   AVG ATTND    PVR

I mean, come on... if no one sees them play, why bother?

cnu has 4 guys among the top 20...only ncwc can boast that depth of talent

attendance is largely a product of enrollment and the size of the community around the campus - i've ranked the usasac schools in order of avg attendance divided by undergraduate enrollment with surrounding city and metropolitan size in parenthesis

au - .443 (48,411 city, 107,087 "metro" area)
fc - .402 (1,313 "city", 4,066 county)
su - .290 (55,893 city, 215,384 primary statistical area, 10 Million+ in metro)
cnu - .218 (181,913 city, 1.65 million in metro area)
ncwc - .209 (55,893 city, 146,276 "metro" area)
gc - .204 (244,610 city, 1.5 million in metro area)
mu - .180 (299,060 city, 341,636 metro area)

while cnu clearly plays to the largest crowds, the average crowd is a small fraction of their total undergraduate enrollment - when you factor in metropolitan or statistical areas, it becomes very evident that cnu crowds are greatly underperforming

on the other hand, it's also clear that there is little to do in franklin county va other than watching ferrum hoops

nice weekend for the monarchs...i'm going to have to do some research and find out when they last won both games of this tough trip...if the capts. can hold their 2 point lead and the bishops can pull out the "w" against ferrum, there's a 3-way tie at the top

[pride1fan]

pat - i like the new "skin" for the board - the cream color is very soothing...maybe it will keep captj calm, cool and collected

[pride1fan]

there is a store i drive by on my way to work every day that has had a "going out of business" sale for over 3 years...

the monarchs got HAMMERED by guilford tonight, 74-48 - they shot 29% from the floor and 21% from 3 - they were out rebounded 58-32, they had 3 more to's than assists, they had were only 7-11 from the ft line...just an ugly, ugly game for the monarchs - tough night...

Wow.....hatred abounds!!

Can't wait for the "Nartch" comeback!

[CNU85]

and I used " " properly

[pride1fan]

"Did you"

[CNU85]

"Did you"

you forgot the "?" - tool! 

[CNU85]

rut row...I see Narch is on line....

here it comes....the "Greensboro Bash"

Narch - I don't know how you do it.....keep your interest level up...they make it too easy for you! But it's fun to watch!!

[narch]

I will say you are a tool.

granted, you are a tool.

wow...almost exactly one year to the date...kinda spooky - so i was a "tool" in february of 07 and i'm still a tool in february of 2008...i'll ask the same question i asked before..."what type of tool?"

and with all of the examples you gave, shouldn't your initial post have been about my unnecessary quotation marks, rather than just the unnecessary quotation mark

i'm still waiting for you to provide any type of valuable basketball insight...

[pride1fan]

"weak"

[CNU85]

Is that a basketball term?

[narch]

the monarchs fall to ncwc 74-67 - 23 turnovers did them in, as did 40% shooting from the ft line - 4 in double figures for mu...mcdade with 16, mcbryde with 15, sigman with 15 and smith with 13 - ncwc was led by hall with 17, arrington with 16, drake with 15 and coleman with 13 - the bishops scored 28 points off turnovers (to 12 for the monarchs) - tough loss
