MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[old_lion]

Shout out to Drew Bailey for winning the 3 point contest at yesterday's alumni event  ... no question, KC22 could always shoot the ball.

Kudos to Coach Glenn and staff for putting together the 1st annual alumni event ... nice event.

Mercer beats Bama At T-Town. Piedmont loss doesn't look so bad.

This was a great step for the men's basketball program at Piedmont. Coach Glenn, Neeley, and Parker put on a 1st class event. I like the looks of this years team. I think the Lions are going to do extremely well this season.

Hey Old_Lion, Looks like your man Pittman got off to a good start. Hawks went 1-1.

I see that ... he has to be the early favorite for gsac POTY.  I wonder how they got him the extra year ...

Looks like the Scots will be ready for #13 ranked Centre... I am not making any guarantees though.

yeah i talked to Ben Purcell, Sewanee's star, he has a bad back that locked up early in that game against HC, believe me Purcell would have made a huge difference in that game.  HC got lucky that he had to leave the game, but all championship teams have their share of luck.  He did say that HC was much improved since last year so that is a good compliment for the boys down at HC.

The Grubby One will be in attendance to watch his scotty dogs take on the colonels.  I am looking for big things out of my favorite player  lambert/Hernandez.

Here is the Daily Times on tonight's Centre-MC game, as well as on the Scots:

heartbreaker in Murvul, but all you people know this about tonight's game, Eryk Watson was dominating the Scots comeback.  The 2 best players on the floor played for MC.  Centre has a good team and they played great team ball.  They did not steal a victory in TN.  It was a great game for november, but by Feb. when MC's freshmen are up to speed, MC wins that game by 15

[Spencer Beaty]

absolutely agree with you.  I take more good from this than bad.  If that is a number 13 ranked team then I like the scots chances of getting deep in the tourney.

[DeWayneCarter]

Is everyone ready for the LaGrange tourney this weekend? I think the VWC/MC will be a very very interesting and competitive one.

[MCScotsFan]

I thought MC looked great tonight! It was a heartbreaker but I thought they looked great esp. considering it was the season opener.
Watson is such an awesome player and, as a fan, he makes it fun to watch. Hernandez has come so far in 3 years. I cannot wait to see what he'll do with this whole season ahead of him. I am not sure what RDL does to motivate these guys but more often than not, he molds them into players and men who make you proud.
Lambert and Damron needed to let loose and turn it on. When they do, watch out! The team looks pretty deep. And that Jared...it is like 3 years ago they wound that kid up and he hasn't stopped since. Always 110%. Win or lose, I can't ask for more.

Go Scots!!!

[old_lion]

LaGrange wins their first one ... 2 Gwinnett Co freshmen get double figures ... way to go Dillon and Clay.
