Heck, they didn't even have Wood on the side last night and they didnt show any mental breakdowns.

Hmm ...

Well, they always play better when they've got Wood. When they have Wood, they really take it to the opposing team. They play hard even against stiff competition, or even when things get a little hairy or when they get themselves into a tight slippery situation, Wood has always been there to staighten them up. Or as we say, "we really put the Wood to 'em"

Not a sermon, just a thought.

Matt Letourneau · November 30, 2006, 11:00:47 AM

See, I would think its the opposite. When they don't have Wood, they have nothing else but the game to worry about. No distractions. I mean, they still have to put the ball in the hole, but they don't have to worry about Wood. Which is key because Wood tends to get all hot and sweaty and...

(We could really have a field day with this)...

Well, we didnt even mention Coach Woo's first name, Roderick, aka Rod....

Luckily they don't wear those old 70's shorts. Or it could be a real problem.

UMW looked good last night but MU sure made it easy for them by shooting 27 three pointers and only going to the free throw line six times. UMW has a nice left handed guard who made some big shots when MU made a late run. I was surprised that MU had only four team fouls with three minutes left in the game and they did not foul to send UMW to the line.

MU has at least twenty players on the team and I never seen anything like that. They're also playing with their best player, Corey Diamond.

FYI there are no thugs on this years team and they probably could use one or two.

i meant without Corey Diamond.

Matt Letourneau · November 30, 2006, 01:30:22 PM

Why are they without Corey Diamond? Is he hurt?

ex_mu14 · November 30, 2006, 02:15:01 PM

he got hurt one minute in their first game. I dont think he has played one complete year at Mu without getting hurt.

Big match up Wednesday against CU at the verizon. Will CU and MU play each other once they leave the CAC? I miss getting up for CU games!

Hood win it's first CAC game in school history..

Gallaudet Bison - 64
@ Hood Blazers - 77
Half: Gallaudet led 37-32

Frederick -- The Bison traveled to nearby Frederick (MD) to take on the Hood College Blazers in the Capital Athletic Conference season opener. Junior forward Sekoe White carried the Bison with 19 points and 7 rebounds with two steals over 34 minutes of play. Jon Mowl chipped in with 17 marks of his own and a pair of treys from downtown along with a team-leading four steals. Coming into the game off the bench, Johnny Jackson racked up 11 rebounds to lead the Bison. After halftime, Hood went on 17-0 run to opening the second half from 37-32 deflict to go-ahead lead 54-32. The Bison did bring the game back closer to 5 points in mid of second half but fall back once again before the game end. Bison D fall apart in second half and play very soft compare to stingy and tough D in first half, it which helped Hood to shoot for over 70% of FG at second half alone.

The Bison (1-5, 0-1) visit York College (PA) on Wednesday December 6.

is there a better player right now in the CAC then Ray Williams of Salisbury? He's having a great Sr season he's my pic for player of the year

Matt Letourneau · December 02, 2006, 10:54:59 AM

I think there's going to be a heck of a race between Williams, McGowan and Fumai. I haven't seen Jesse Gutekunst play yet, but he could be in the mix. Pat Dwyer could be too.

mwcsid · December 02, 2006, 01:04:49 PM

Justin Baker.

Matt Letourneau · December 02, 2006, 01:46:10 PM

Yeah, well based on last year you would think so, but 14.5 ppg/ 7 rpg thus far wouldn't get it done. (For comparison, Fumai's at 21.0/6.8)

The season is young though. Add him in the mix. He could be a victim of how well balanced UMW is.

mwcsid · December 02, 2006, 02:42:49 PM

Good problem to have...

Halftime at Goolrick,
UMW 35, Hood 30.

UMW led by 10+ most of the half, but Hood is resilient.
Pierce 10, Whitworth 9, Le and Hale 5 each
Robine has 10 for hood.
