MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[mattgrubb]

the scots have two big games this weekend and i believe they will dominate
they have that look in their eyes like they want it
Bobby Golden looks hungry
Andy Chaney's game looks siiiiiiccccckkkkkkk
The Jeremy Holidays are over and it is time to start the GSAC play so strap it on and it is time for this board to get heated up and unpleasant, so this is my last friendly post all future posts will contain trash talking b/c that is how i role
My prediction for the conference season is the scots will lose at fisk this year but that will be there only conference loss and fisks only conference loss will be to the scots at maryville so we may have tie for the regular season title and the tournament will be heavily contested.  I can't wait to see it go down.  I think the strength of the conference is way up this year and i am pumped.

scottie - i have a feeling pete manos might get some time this weekend - no inside info (my pc source is tight-lipped until after the sunday game), but w/ back-to-back road games, if he's going to see the court for the lions, this weekend will be a prime chance for him

yes, yes indeed. i just talked to manos yesterday and he said he thinks he's going to get some PT this weekend! How much PT? Didnt tell me but it envision around 10 minutes, unless it turns out to be a blowout then it might be 15 minutes.

scottie - manos got 8 mins w/ 4 to's in a 79-77 win @ averett for pc

pc finished off an outstanding road trip today with a convincing win over the monarchs - despite the lack of a true post player, the lions play hard, hustle and, unlike last year, play strong defense - coach glenn is really doing a great job with those guys and pc fans should be proud of the way that team is playing right now (i know you are, old_lion...it was good seeing you today ) - winning at averett and at methodist on back-to-back days is about as good a weekend as you can hope for

scottie - manos looked a little lost and overmatched in his 7 minutes today...i think he's going to have to get more used to the pc system to make much of an impact for them

Well said, Narch ... I couldn't agree more. It was good to see you, as well. IMHO, the progress this team has made since last year is very impressive. If not for the car wreck (involving 7 Lions) two days before the Gordon game we could be riding a 4 game win streak right now.

Who knows how many we'll win the rest of the way ... but I'm confident we'll give a great TEAM effort every time out.

William, we only need two more wins to meet your expectations. I like our chances of proving you under estimated us.

Old Lion, I did underestimate Piedmont. I am not afraid to admit it .

Wednesday is MURVUL at home, and this game makes me nervous for several reasons.  The last two times MURVUL has played FISK in our gym something wierd happens (ie last second Raul 3 pt shot) and FISK loses in overtime.  Not once, but two years in a row!

MURVUL should have had their first regular season GSAC loss a while ago, so I am VERY hesitant to
predict a FISK victory like my friend Matt Grubb.

Also, why does MURVUL have to relatively tough time playing Huntingdon?

Another interesting article on Maryville's game yesterday.

William, you are the information super highway.  Those were good articles.  Your Fisk Fighting Dr. Glovers are GOOOOD!  We had a poor transition Defense day and bad rebounding day and it cost us.  Wednesday's game against MC will be a DIII game that should be on TV somewhere.  So I guess my earlier question is answered about who is in the basement.  For the second straight year we start off 0-2 in the conference and play a hot Piedmont group on the Wednesday after opening weekend.  Last season was an exhausting OT game in Demorest that was (in the words of Coach Lee Glenn) a game that nobody should have had to lose.  The GSAC is small but it provides some pretty good entertainment.

good job scots 2-0 to start Lambert must be not mad at these results
sorry he is just not a happy man this time of year
Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday
Oh it is going to be a thrilla
The mighty Bulldogs of the world renowned Fisk Univerysity with Famous Alum William Burton supporting them vs.  The Maryville College Fighting Scots who are loved by everyone who even remotely likes basketball with famous alum Spencer Beaty supporting them
Could be the greatest game ever played, even better if Fisk would fix their gym, could be some national and even international spotlight on this game for what the scots and bulldogs have accomplished so far this season.  I hear the fans in madagascar are going to be on the edge of their seats for the webcasts,  fans are coming from as far away as nolensville pike to see the game, it should be a barn burner in Cashville, i would be there but i currently have a job and can't make it
Let's go scots

Games like the one between FISK and MURVUL on Wednesday is what College Basketball is all about.  You gotta love it!

Where's Dick Vitale when you need him?

And just think what a kinda year for the GSAC it would have been if LaGrange had in fact upset Albion? GSAC ->  the toughest 5 team conference in the nation. Well we are getting there...

Gotta love the Dick Vitale hyperbole, baby! 

The GSAC is the only 5-team D3 conference in the nation!   Go FISK!  Beat MURVUL!

[mattgrubb]

AH come on ralph, you know underneath it all you have love for the fighting scots, they are the perennial underdog in D3 when it comes to playing big games in the national tourney

[GSAC Killer]

Not to brag or anything but I did have a big shot at Fisk my junior year and then again my senior year.They never had an answer for me or my team.20-0 in the Conference.. haha.... BIg players step up in big games and thats what I expect from the Big 3 Golden, Calloway, and the new general Mr.Mason... The game will feature a lot of athleticism and a lot of system. Which one will prevail for the win? A question for the Posts members..
  I believe system will prevail like it always has.. Coach Lambert and Coach Beaty always do a great job in preparing the troops for the big games...
  Just a quick reminder UNDEFEATED IN THE REGULAR SEASON SINCE THE START OF THE CONFERENCE!!! Only 1 lose period.. So that means LaGrange, The Hawks, and Piedmont have goose eggs...
  I believe LaGrange is the third best team in the Conference but lack a true point guard.. Best of luck to the rest of the teams this week..
  But I am a Scot to the end so I will be present at the game cheering on my boys...
   Prediction Da Ville by 7pts... And the STREAK CONTINUES...
A lot of pressure for the MC Boys but I got faith in my boys..
  Coach Lambert's record in the conference 1000000000000-1...jk
