it's officially next season for the usasac - who is the team to beat next year?

[scottiedoug]

Narch that would be Maryville!!

[Ralph Turner]

Narch that would be Maryville!!

Wow!

I will take that as prima facie evidence that Murvul will be in the USASouth.

Now if Murvul can just take their friends with them.

Press Release from the past

Narch that would be Maryville!!

we're not talking football, scottie

[scottiedoug]

Narch I did not realize your question was which team in the USASouth is the team to beat.  I thought you were wondering which (basketball) team the USA South teams would not beat....

[narch]

congrats to all of the usasac players honored by d3hoops.com as all-region players - i disagree that nicholson was better than barton, but i guess gc did a better job of promoting nicholson than cnu did for barton...have any other d3 schools used this type of promotion for an individual award?...i think it's brilliant work by the gc sid (although the fonts could use some updating) - barton was within just over 3 ppg of nicholson (17.9 ppg to 21.0 ppg), averaged more rpg (5 rpg to 4.4 rpg), had 80 more assists and just 14 more to's and shot higher from the field (.507 to .497), the three point line (.373 to .367) and the ft line (.802 to .742) - maybe the team is made up of a point and 2 guard and they weren't being directly compared, though - i would have put barton on the first team and nicholson on the second if they were being directly compared

lawrence on the second team is nice...there were some really good forwards in the south region this year...baldwin is as good a forward as i've seen in d3 basketball - mitchell got rookie of the year in the region, as well

Narch,

In the snail mail days these types of flyers were commonplace. My coaches would receive a dozen or so a year when I was SID and I created them myself for our top candidates.

I still receive a couple a year but now lobbying is more informal.

i like it...if it's good enough for the heisman, it's good enough for the d3hoops.com all region team

Methodist needs to get new rims. They are bushleague. Also, the Rock basketballs are awful. They are a poormans basketball. Solutions or Evolutions are the way to go. USA South needs to stop using The Rock. After all we arent playing street ball.....then again, some of the styles of play in that league do play street ball...

[leroy]

this coming from a pure shooter....  in 7 mpg his senior season, drew bailey shot 39.5% from the field and 31.3% from 3.  it doesn't look like he was scorching the nets using his solutions/evolutions and playing his "non-streetball" type of ball in superior conferences and other gyms???

[KnoxCounty22]

I will be the first to say that I didn't have a good senior year. The one game I did shoot well, was actually against North Carolina Wesleyan. 3/4 from 3 point line. We ended up winning the Roger Taylor Invitational. That was more than likely my best shooting game of the year. And we used the Rock. Anyways, we made NC Wesleyan play our game. They couldnt resort to street ball. Not to mention we also beat Christopher Newport in their own gym.

I had a better soph and junior year. Shot 55% freshman year and 39% my junior year from the 3 Point Line.

Never used an Evolution, what are they like? Who makes them, Spalding?

[NextBigThing34]

Well lets get onto next season....

SU Hornets are losing 2 huge pieces but......returning a solid and young roster.  If they can add an impact recruit or 2 I think they can improve on this year's performance.

Shenandoah is upgrading M&W I&O T&F to varsity status and will compete in the MAC-Commonwealth.

Pull quote from the NCAA article...

Shenandoah Athletics Director John Hill credited MAC Commissioner Ken Andrews with bringing the track and field programs into the conference along with field hockey.

"When we came to (Andrews), it was originally an inquiry about field hockey," Hill said. "He was more than willing to discuss us joining the league in that sport, and suggested to us that we could work something out in track and field as well.

"We have wanted all of our teams to be able to compete in a conference setting, and now we have accomplished that goal. Obviously, the best situation would be if all of our teams would compete under the same banner. That remains a goal for us in the department."

Hmmmm, interesting...

field hockey is more interesting to me than t&f...the usasac could conceivably sanction t&f, but i doubt field hockey will EVER become a usasac sport...
