MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

GSAC Killer · January 24, 2010, 10:31:14 AM

Mr.Grubb I think the Highlanders can give the Scots better competition than the Panthers,Lions, and Hawks.. What do you think?? Congrats on the baby and he will be a future Highlander...

Mr. Killer: Can you encourage any of your Highlander talent to be Scots later? After all, the Scots are also Highlanders....

Big Highlanders are especially welcome....unless Greg has a secret extra year of eligibility because of his being not so good as a freshman....

yea killer you need to send some of your talent RDL's way and also the ODAC teams need to start scheduling Murvul as a nonconference match up. obviously MC got the business from guilford, but that is one game, if the ODAC teams could beat murvul its better for them, if murvul beats the odac teams its better for murvul than beating a bunch of NAIA teams. Im just sayin, we want to see some real D3 ball here in murvul, not these hybrid beat downs.

ooooozie! Congrats on the baby girl roomie and the same goes to the grubby one, only congrats on the baby boy! I would also hop on the bandwagon to schedule more ODAC teams regardless of the misfortune @ Guilford. I believe someone put that if Maryville was in the ODAC then they would be a mediocre team and finish no higher than the middle of the pack year in and year out and im here to say that would be flat wrong. Maryville doesnt get very much credit for being in the GSAC and rightfully so but I know that since i played and since ive graduated we have a very good winning percentage against other South Region teams we play year in and out, i.e. SCAC and USA South teams. Also, the grubby one and i have had several conversations about the scots this season and i tend to have a brighter outlook and i thought we could talk about it again since i just read about a new stat. In the game recap of Huntingdon it mentioned somethig about the Scots being the nations top assist team?? And they had an incredibe 25 team assists that game! Could it be Watts that the teams EGo heavy leaders have realized that sharing the ball without disrupting the motion makes them VERY GOOD. I would say the Scots are best when Greg is putting in 18-24 on 12-15 shots and Eryk is scoring 14-18 on the same amount with the majority of Gregs shots coming at the basket. Anyways the scots are very deep and several of those guys are still young/newcomers! I hope the 25 team assists is a sign that some of the players have left the egos in their dorm room and that the chemistry is coming together and this would be a perfect time for it!!!

The Jackroberts what would you know

The juggernaut rolls on ...

One thing you have to acknowledge re the Lions ... these guys can make FTs.
They went 20 for 24, to get them to 73% for the season.

I was watching UGA's victory over UT this w/e (great victory for the Dawgs ... Bruce Pearl is one of my favorite coaches ... he has done an amazing job, especially lately ... in the wake of the recent problems ... apparently, Mark Fox is a pretty good coach also) and I heard the announcer comment what a good FT shooting team Ga is ... how they are leading the SEC at about 72%

72% leads the SEC? 72% as a team is good ... but I think the SEC leader should be somewhat higher. Heck, if I'm not mistaken, PC has shot 72% or better for each of the last 6 seasons.

old lion
there is the difference in student/athlete and just athlete
free throws are a matter of intelligence

THE jackroberts · January 25, 2010, 05:55:31 PM

hahaha every year but the last. Matt Grubb, am i better than you? YES. Am i more handsome? YES. I should charge you to hang out with me. RIP Coach Baird, you will be missed!

mattgrubb · January 25, 2010, 06:29:23 PM

RIP Coach Baird.
There will always be the accelerated heartbeat when we hear "Boydson Baird Gymnasium" before every scots home.

Randy Lambert is unhappy and this does not bode well for the Lions this weekend. He said the Lions are a lot like Millligan and I bet he is not interested in the same result as tonight's loss.

I guess that I can take credit that loss to Milligan.

I just posted my Poster's Poll ballot and had Maryville in the Top 25!

Tough road loss at an avg naia team-rdl won't be happy with 27 TURNOVERS and minus 10 at the ft line but such is life on road-can't turn it over 27 times and beat anyone- Head's up Piedmont there will be some very unhappy scots come saturday

bballlover · January 26, 2010, 08:46:54 AM

WOW! Didn't see that one coming.Lions didn't need for anyone to make the Scotts mad.

Well that's just great. The last thing PC needs is Murvul coming into town in a bad mood and looking to vent their anger. The Lions better be ready.

Thanks a lot Milligan ...

Thanks Ralph!

I think the blame lies elsewhere.

I thought these NAIA games did not count for D3 posters polls!

Which reminds me, do the team and individual stats from non D3 games count in the NCAA /D3 stats? I had been meaning to ask you about this before last night's episode of not paying attention to business.
