On my lunch break looking for all the informed, intelligent GSAC posters. I guess they have all jumped ship over to the USASAC board already. I'll check back later.

I guess we can expect LaGrange - Piedmont to go down to the buzzer.Why change now?

Not just yet, but getting close.

This board will be a Huntingdon Covenant board next year!

So who wins the conference if they split head-to-head by the same margin of victory?

I for one hope Huntington and Covenant find league homes. It is hard to be independent and Huntington is not geographically well situated...it is a very long distance to Christopher Newport and the high tone remnants of the SCAC are unlikely to befriend the Hawks. They have been a good D3 member for quite a while. Covenant, on the other hand, just recently became D3, and may be sorry about it now (for reasons other than having gotten drubbed at Maryville Wednesday night.)

Loss at Huntington by 13? Adios Mio what is going on?

Mr. Grubby raises an intriguing question! It seems that the Scots always have a hard time down there....

mattgrubb · January 22, 2012, 10:23:03 PM

Is Lagrange coming to Murvul as the leader of the GSAC??? What is going on down there. I am going to have to get Coach Wallace out Friday night and cause a scandal. I can't have the panthers come in here and beat the scots. Unfortunately, this is not what I want to do, but I think it is what I am going to have to do to help the scots win. The Grubby one is a team player and I will sacrifice a wild night out for a victory.

Congrats to Coach Wallace on a hot start to the conference season. I always knew he would bring good things to a program and it looks like things are taking off faster than expected. He is a talented young coach. Keep up the good work Wallace.

Nice article about the LaGrange-Maryville game with focus on Kendall Wallace's team challenging his former boss and mentor, Randy Lambert.

Somethin tells me Wallace is going to be on the wrong side of the cheer tomorrow

he will know both sides of it after tomorrow.

Also, Bowers and McGreal will be playing one on one at the half for added entertainment value. Vegas has Greal as a 2 pt favorite as of 11 am today.

Maryville hits 7 of 16 free throws in the second half and loses to LaGrange by 3, 70-67. Good grief.

Actually Covenant is very happy to have moved out of the NAIA and into D3. Sure we have some conference issues now, but I'm confident that those will be resolved by the time we are full-time members in the 2013-14 season.

And hey, the Scots get another shot at Maryville on Wednesday night to redeem themselves. Although, it looks like we will be without one of our big men.

scottiedoug · January 30, 2012, 11:09:37 AM

And you will be hosting a team that will not be in a forgiving mood. Although a bunch of the MC Scots are walking wounded, I bet they are at least motivated.

CCHoops · January 30, 2012, 02:10:00 PM

I'd love to see an upset, but Covenant just can't put together a complete 40 minute game. First 7 minutes of the first meeting we were up 16-5 (or something like that) and then just went stone cold for the rest of the half and got blown out.

mattgrubb · January 30, 2012, 02:35:28 PM

I don't think Murvul is going to be too nice to Covenant. If there is blood in the water, then they will strike. The problem is Murvul is young so the swings are huge. if things go good they go great but if they go south??? Typical for a young team.

Murvul will grow up and they will learn some tough lessons in a new conference next year. I wish I could say they lacked anything other than EGO but at this point their egos can't let them fall apart. They have to get some fake or real confidence.
