MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[bballlover]

Well Coach Haynes I don't guess you can sandbag now can you? For those who have not heard yet Coach Haynes took his Panthers up to Kennesaw State last night and came home a winner.I know it was just a scrimmage but,none the less a big win.What say you Coach?

[mattgrubb]

Killer
really?

[old_lion]

Damn, Coach H! Well played, Sir!

Are you sitting on a GSAC title team down there in LaGrange?

[bballlover]

Good luck to both the Lions & Panthers who travel to Conway,SC this weekend to play Coastal Carolina.PC tonight & LC on Saturday. Neither is a counting game for the GSAC members but, it is for Coastal.

Maryville Daily Times has an article about the Scots before tonight's opener with Centre:

The Grubby One was very impressed with both teams tonight.  Centre won a very hard fought victory.  The scots played hard and as usual were very well coached.  The big man for CC was very impressive.

[scottiedoug]

I agree with Mr. Grubby.  If the Scots had not had a couple minutes of lost defensive focus, they might have overcome Centre's 61% shooting and Alex Lloyd.

Hopefully Piedmont will not overlook Toccoa Falls tonight.Been there, done that.

It looked like that lack of experience caught up with MC watching on the ivi feed.

Centre went into crunch time focus and Scots let them chip away but then forced a play or two when it was close. Not that I'd fault the plays they tried to make, the backdoor to Watson that ended up out of bounds was a good decision just didnt get executed for the two and one.

From what I saw I like how this group is playing together and I think that will get better once a few of the guys who played short minutes last year or are new get used to long minutes and crucial minutes in game time.

Since Covenant will be on board soon, do we have anyone posting from them yet?

[mattgrubb]

Covenant is scared

I agree with you.  I have not seen that type of electricity in Baird for a regular season game in quite some time.  The place was full and at one point when Centre called a timeout I thought i was at a dance party.  MC has a couple of guys who are going to have to learn to win on their own.  Greg was very good at winning and these guys will learn.  It is hard to believe with all of the personnel losses that the scots are not short on talent.  The big 3 i saw last night for the scots were EWat, Mcgill, and Milt.  Milt needs a little more experience and he will be a very effective scorer off of the dribble.  Ewat can shoot the 3 and Mcgill can patrol the midrange.  Big Mav was very effective on offense against a pretty dang good big man last night.
Like any team with a lot of new guys, they have a lot of learning to do, but I will put my money on another GSAC title if anyone wants a piece of that action let me know.

Lions pull one out in overtime. The season is young but, they must learn to play better together.

Congratulations to Marcus Fitzsimmons on being tabbed for the Around the Nation column on D3hoops.com.

[mattgrubb]

the grubby one thinks Milton should go to the bucket almost every time he touches it.  He is a creator reminiscent of the GSAC Killer

Go Scots
they are down by 3 but way ahead in the foul count  10-4

[bballlover]

Lions looked to have improved while getting two wins in Memphis over the weekend.Only time will tell as to how good the competition was.

Lions get a win over Lookout Mt. Scots last night. On to Holly Springs, MS.
