MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[Big Dog]

Basketball is a tournament game, however with the GSAC and the no automatic bid you don't always get treated that way. Basketball has always been about getting better and player improvement and this Scots team is no different, they are getting better and improving and it is just unfortunate they had some early season losses on the road. I believe they will be NCAA tournament quality by season end-whether they are in or not is not left up to me. I would like to say that the MC dance team is NCAA quality already and it is just the mid season. Shiela Evans would come off the bench for this crew.

2 nice wins for the young scots, i would say that the big dance is out for this team, but that is not a bad thing, most of these guys will have a chance at 2 or 3 more big dances and they will value it more after this season

Y'all are probably right about the big dance for the Scots, but if they were to win out with D3 games and a couple of the other Pool B candidates screw up, there is still a chance.  Elms and Catholic are doing fine, but it is not clear to me that there is a lock for the third spot in the dance.  So we may as well just win the rest of the games and see what happens.

Ralph Turner has a new tally of Pool B teams on the Bumblin' Bs page in Men's, Multi-Regional or here:

I was not "current" about Catholic and Elms as par as in-region records.  If the Scots win, though, it could still be interesting....

amen to that!! You never know. One game at a time young Scots! You can only control what is in front of you and that is the next game. Let the NCAA decide who goes.

ONE GAME AT A TIME!!! By the way Old Lion to echo my boy BIg Dog and some of his earlier comments Piedmont has never beat the Scots and never will!! WE OWN YOU!!..lol.. I think it will be a good game in GA but not at MC.

Hope all is well. Big Dog Sheila Evans is Wall of Fame worthy..

Boy, am I glad Murvul has won a few ... it was getting awfully quiet on here during the 4 game losing streak.

Welcome back, my Murvul friends.

Hi Old_Lion!  When you never get to see them play because they never play at home, it's tough to chatter on without making stuff up, which you know we Scottieposters never do.

Hi Scottie ... I think you inadvertantly left something off your post.  I'm sure you meant ...

You're welcome!

lets just let these kids focus on one game at a time, i don't think they have learned how to look at both the task at hand and the big picture the way a professional would
Young scots, just win every game and you will give someone else a headache.

Sheila Evans is definitely wall of fame worthy, those moves were somethin else, but she does not have the raw physical talent of these current scotties.

WE OWN PIEDMONT!!!!!

GSAC opponents versus MC are 2 for LIFE!!!! Only wins by the Hawks and Fisk.

I have actually had time to post the last few days. It has been awhile. Old Lion you are still being considered for the GSAC POST Hall of Fame. Just know you are being evaluated on a post to post basis. Hope all is well. Hope Jake is doing well.

See Scottie, actually "seeing them play" has never really been a posting prerequisite ...  All it takes is a few Ws to re-ignite that Murvul chatter. 

Good to hear from you, Killer.  I hope "a few of life's jumpers are going in" for you as well.

Old_Lion, I had an advisor who convinced me that the use of underlining and italics (this was a while ago...) was the sign of a poor writer, and I have carried this over to these funhy faces.   It's from being old and "trained" before computers.  You remember, when we had to write things using pens and pencils.  And people used to make a lot of free throws underhanded....

Yeah, I've heard that also ... I simply choose to ignore it.  One of the few advantages I've noticed of being old is that I just don't care as much what "they say".

How did we ever function without spell check?

Underhanded free throws?  Now we aren't that old ... maybe it's just that you've seen Barry and Chamberlin on ESPN Classic?

Great article on Greg Hernandez in the Knoxville New-Sentinel today (1-14-2009).
Big Dog does not post links however the gist of the article is hard work, hard work, hard work by Greg Hernandez. Someone asked me about why Orr is not playing-and it all gets back to the article on Greg Hernandez. Hard work, hard work, hard work. Life doesn't give you anything, why should the dolly llama of coaches Daddy Rabbitt Lambert put you on the court if you don't have the main component on the fine article on Mr. Hernandez. HARD WORK. Nice job Greg, 20 plus and 10 plus every night. Go get it for us.
