MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

mattgrubb · January 07, 2009, 12:06:27 PM

The grubby one will be there tonight to make it feel like a home game. my only debate is whether or not to go with body paint or just a kilt?

I will be calling all of my loser buddies to make sure they are there too

This team needs all of the help they can get and I will be there to help them. My scots will finish the season strong as they always do. Sweep through the GSAC and then see what they can do next year. The future looks very bright for the scotty dogs.

next year murvul will sweep the all conference awards and Randy Watson will win his first of 2 all american awards if he does not win his first of three this year.

The Grubby One has spoken.

See you all tonight

Scotty, I feel your pain. I guess it is what it is. Let's just hope the schedule Gods are more favorable to us next year.With GSAC games just around the bend this could be a fun year. I'm not so sure the Scots will run the table. This year or next.

being a better person than the killer i did not stand up my fighting scots to be a groupie. i attended a polite a** whoopin

the scots are young but talented, as they mature, they will be the fighting scots that we are used to

Impressive win ... it appears that Murvul has gotten her groove back.

That's great ... just in time for the gsac schedule.

Tough loss for Huntingdon ... Rust is very difficult place to pick up a win. I bet that place was rocking ... with Roberts hitting all those 3s.

How the heck did Rust shut down Pittman?

I think it is time for an oldlion volume shooting statistical analysis spreadsheet.

No, I think "that Elvis has left the building", Coach.

I don't think it ever did any good re swaying the "let's add up the points to see who the best players are, gsac mindset".

Besides, I'm not aware of any synergistic, pass first, control the tempo, make your teammates better, be a steals leader, etc., etc., type of PGs who are going to be overlooked this year, simply because they aren't volume shooters.

Please check your messages, Coach.

Big weekend for the scots
hopefully they can get 2 and they will be headed in the right direction

I wanted to give a big shout to G hernandez, that kid looks totally different. He has made the commitment to do what it takes for him to play his best, once the rest of his team learns to make that same commitment the scots will do well. I like the talent on this team, i just think they are a little to young and inexperienced.

I will have to steal a term from The Distinguished Old Lion and say that as the scots mature and learn to be synergistic, Randy will be back to normal in the mountains.

The Grubby One is skinnier than the killer

I certainly wouldn't bet against it.

Agreed, he is off to a heck of a start ... all-gsac, I would imagine.

Speaking of big guys ... what's the deal with Orr's diminished role?

Spencer Beaty · January 09, 2009, 11:01:09 PM

missed practice coupled with players like Maverick Willet playing well has led to a lack of minutes. For this team to be successful, he needs to contribute.

scottiedoug · January 10, 2009, 04:03:06 PM

Maryville beat Greensboro 75-69 at Greensboro. Lots of minutes by the young'uns.

Big Dog · January 10, 2009, 08:29:22 PM

Good road win Scots. First home loss for Greensboro. Old timers, remember the great tag team duo of The Road Warriors, these Scots have certainly been that. Proud of your efforts Highlanders. Get some more!

coachwgh · January 11, 2009, 01:10:48 PM

For some reason our score didn't make the site. Huntingdon 80- LaGrange 72

Big Dog · January 11, 2009, 07:33:24 PM

Nice win over Methodist for the Orange and Garnet. Scots getting better. Basketball is a tournament game and the Scots are improving. By year end, the level of play should be very, very good.

Spencer Beaty · January 11, 2009, 10:05:09 PM

Basketball is a team sport, but a team needs to make the tournament in order to make a run. I am not sure that even if they win the rest of their games, they will make the tournament.
