MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

MCScotsFan · June 22, 2007, 12:00:35 AM

Those young whippersnappers'll get ya everytime, Killer!

I'm hoping to see a won Monday night for the Killer. I'll predict 121- 118.

Can't help it...his style at PG made me fall in love with the game all over again.

yeah, well we are going to exploit his jump shot on monday, make him hit it

This Jalen Rose guy is not going to like playing in the killers shadow!

How full has the gym been? I'd like to come watch on Monday. How early do you recomend getting there?

mattgrubb · June 22, 2007, 02:01:07 PM

probably need to be there by 5:30 on monday to get a good seat b/c it has been packed and when everyone gets word that Raul is going to be there on monday, it will be a mad house.

MCScotsFan · June 22, 2007, 07:12:57 PM

What else could they expect? Seeing Raul for free?! What a deal!! I'm telling you, people still sit in the stands and talk about Raul! Of course, that may be because we don't have a real PG yet. Or could have been because Bo let his hair grow in and lost the Raul look

--either way, Raul has a fan base and MC loved him.

Grubby One it will be a good game tonight!! Hopefully Jalen can show up. I agree with the Grubby One about getting to the game at 5:30pm. It has been packed both nights.

Well good luck tonight my friend!!

mattgrubb · June 25, 2007, 12:36:19 PM

jalen will not be there, but who would the people rather see?
I think the killer

GSAC Killer · June 25, 2007, 12:45:57 PM

Grubby one YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

Is Yarbo back from Germany? It should be a good game!!

mattgrubb · June 26, 2007, 09:31:41 AM

The Grubby One is on top and that is the way the killer likes it!
First Tennessee beats Kingston Alley 112-110
The killer played well, but he is in a tough situation. he has three guys on his team that refuse to pass the ball. The killer is doing a lot to help the reputation of MC basketball around Knoxville and so is bowers.

On a side note, my guy, Ben Pursell of Sewanee, had two bid dunks in the first half last night, including a poster of someone from the Kingston Alley team. This kid from Sewanee can play. Who knew they had bball on the mountain.

GSAC Killer · June 26, 2007, 10:51:58 AM

AMEN BROTHER!!!

It was a great game. Your guys play unselfish basketball while we have 3 guys taking 60-70 shots combine!!!!!!! And they are not hitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See you Wednesday!!

I can't believe the responses to this summer league the killer and i are involved in. BTW, I beat the killer. There is a different article everyday in the knoxville news sentinel and i am sure Wilburt has seen them b/c he reads 186 different newspapers which is quite impressive. I know the news sentinel will not do an article on this subject, but i still think the greatest benefit from this league will not be seen at Thompson Boling Arena. I think it will be seen at Boydson Baird or at Sewanee or Carson Newman or Tusculum. These small college kids are getting great experience against these big time players. The biggest things they are learning are:
1. how to play under control at a faster pace
2. how to take a hit
3. how to be strong against a bigger stronger guy
4. how to finish strong against great shot blockers
5. how to finish a game b/c all of my games have been close

these small college kids have a great advantage over their piers that are not in this league. Also, Alex and the killer are making a great name for maryville college basketball in knoxville. i have had several people tell me or ask me that/if the killer played for Buzz Peterson. Hopefully, Lambert will have an easier time recruiting local talent b/c of the exposure of his best players at this league.

Go Scots

GSAC Killer · June 27, 2007, 12:05:24 PM

I appreciate the love my fellow fighting scot. This recognition is going to be great for our school. I hope Bowers can continue to play at this high level throughout the regular season, when it counts!!

Grubby One July 11th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rematch!!

scotswin · June 27, 2007, 12:51:38 PM

A couple observations on the Killer-Grubb game on Monday:

-Grubb's kid from Sewanee may be the most athletic dIII players I've ever seen. Yes, even more athletic than Tummel.
-Killer did play pretty well and his team does throw up some crazy shots. If you think it looks like Jauan smith plays pick-up type ball when you se him on ESPN, imagine what he does in a summer league in a high school gym.
-Grubb needs to bench Slay. Talk about some poor shot choices...
-Other than Slay, grubb's team was well organized for this type of league. It even seamed like they were running sets every once in a while.
-That gym is too hot.

GSAC Killer · June 28, 2007, 08:26:02 AM

Another loss for Team Kingston Alley(1-3)..

Grubby's team loss last night. They were minus Slay but had oportunities throughout the game to pull of a win. Alex played good last night. Getting more comfortable with his team.

We got Lofton Monday!! Lucky us!!

Well, I is more happier to have been back on this hear page than proper grammatical words can expressiate!

Let a man go on vacation for a while and miss all the excitement. This was "must see posting". I shall dabble into the previous events that I have missed.

Division IV? I don't care! Are we keeping score? Then let's play! They can't restrict my ability to run a proper program anymore than what they already are. (Maybe?) When you look back in history and see things that have changed it brings about questions about what lies ahead of us. Will there eventually be an abolishment of small college athletics due to funding and philosophical differences? Will there ever be a female player in the NBA ? Will Maryville ever have a losing record?

Summer leagues are an awesome tool for basketball players. There is no secret to being a better basketball player...you have to play! Our guys played in a local league last summer and you could see the effects immediately. Tonight starts my summer season. I spent two hours in the gym last night getting rid of two weeks of south florida sunshine. You should see me. I am more tan than killa, almost wilburt. The local league is very good for a town the size of LaGrange. There are 12 teams and at least 10 of them have former/current college players. Our team notables are of course myself, Lomax, new GA Mark Butler 6'11", two recent alums Maddox and Lawrence, Jay Mitchell(local kid with a story that goes something like this...younger brother Blake is QB at South Carolina, 3yrs Rockies org. pitcher, 1yr Gulf Coast CC, 1yr Texas Tech, currently at Kennesaw, will be at LaGrange before it is all over) 6'7" 240 3Man, Mark Isenhour(if you haven't heard the good news go to the women's GSAC board). We will take all out of town challenges.

We couldn't get any good dates for Fisk next season. We will try again for 08-09 though.

Ben Pursell is very good! He can expect a double team next season.
