If you don't know or don't feel like sharing I understand for the privacy for Marcus Carter... but what are the injuries from tonight and the offseason surgery he had?

I really don't know what surgery he had. Wanna say an ankle...or foot...not sure. The injury last night seemed to be that he rolled the ankle. I was listening on radio, so I wasn't able to see what happened. Radio guys said he walked off fairly normal. Coach said in post game that Carter wanted back in the game, but he (coach) was being cautious with it since this was just the first game. That's about all I know.

Gritty win for UMW last night hitting a 3 with 5 seconds left in OT.   Good to see Mark Madison back after taking last year off after his Rookie of the Year 2 seasons ago.   Also nice to see freshman Drew Johnson (brother of former player Taylor Johnson) start and pour in 20 (6 3's!) in his debut.  A good potential test this weekend with Denison and Cabrini coming in for a tournament.    Go Eagles!

Sounds like a really good start for the Eagles. Will have to keep an eye on you guys!!

Nice win for the Captains last night...aside from the frustration and disappointment of McFarland not even playing and Carter tweaking his ankle 5 minutes into the game, CNU fans have to be very proud of the entire team for beating a good opponent in a tough place to play.  Marin, the Captains' center, had a very solid game, which I didn't necessarily expect, so I give him a lot of credit for stepping up.  What can you say about the freshmen, especially Aigner?  They were solid, as well, and Aigner may indeed become a special player for CNU...that kid can shoot!  I also need to commend the others I didn't name specifically...a very good team effort from everyone involved.

Now, my concern going forward is, how long can we expect Marin and company to win w/out McFarland and Carter?  CNU is playing Catholic on Saturday, and potentially Hood on their home court the following day...then, Dickinson and Salisbury come to town...not exactly a murderers' row, but some very solid competition.  The Captains really need their two leaders to get healthy soon....

GO CAPS!

Nice weekend for UMW.  Knocked off Denison yesterday who had beaten #23 Cabrini by 20 the night before.   Nice to see them off to a good start!

A nice weekend for the Captains...glad that at least McFarland was back for the Catholic game, as they needed every bit of his production.  I've been pleasantly surprised w/Marin's play...even though he's a little awkward and gangly, his length gives him a nice advantage around the basket.  Aigner, the freshman sniper, is fun to watch...needs to stay aggressive.  I saw more of Harrington, who's got good size and can rebound the ball...Parks is solid...really, another big team effort, as CNU plays a lot of people.

I hope Carter will be back this Sunday, as a solid Dickinson team visits the Free...that will have given him quite a few days of rest.

GO CAPS!

And, yes, "solid" seems to be one of my favorite words these days....

Well, that was ugly. Disjointed. A bunch of individuals on the court. Carter is out and possibly for a long time. The team is very young with many players with significant minutes were playing in just their 4th college hoops game. One Fr started. Time to regroup and learn from this. First loss at home since December 2015!!!!

Yep, that was a tough loss...McFarland ended up getting his points, but neither he nor Marin played well...and, w/Carter being out, there's little margin for error.  Speaking of Carter, I heard he was going to be evaluated tomorrow...evidently, him not playing this season and coming back next year is on the table, which is surprising to me.  If that indeed happens, it totally changes the outlook this year, obviously...however, I do think CNU has some talented newcomers that just need time and experience.  Oh yeah, no Gibbs or Ellis yesterday either...geez, what's going on?

I heard that as well. Hopefully Cutch and Luther are on the mend. Conference play is Wednesday!!

Yep, the Gulls are coming to town, which is always big!  They lost a lot too...I know they have Barcikowski back, but I don't know much about the others...regardless, it's a rivalry game, so it will likely be another battle.

GO CAPS!

Fierstein is a nice frosh, but he's probably a season away from being a factor.

Speaking of freshman, Brock Geiman needs to play more...I've only seen him play a little, but I really liked what I saw...he has some nice potential, in my opinion.

As i mentioned to someone(maybe, you) on the chat board, I'm acquainted with Geiman in an indirect way, so I'll be watching his progress, also.

I hope he has a nice progression Wednesday night!!
