MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[mattgrubb]

the grubby one will be on a drinking binge for the next 6 weeks

RDL should not let these guys use their locker room or practice gear for the rest of the season, some guys just have that nasty attitude it takes to dominate and some don't

congrats PC, I bet Sammy is on cloud 9 about now

the killer needs to see this and i cant wait to hear his response

[bballlover]

It was an all out war in The Cave tonight.Needless to say these are not your big brother's Lions.Maybe it had something to do with Saturday night's Blue Moon.Keep it up Lions.

Congratulations to the Lions!

I always knew pigs can fly.  It is hard to win a game if you shoot 14 free throws and the other guys shoot 39 (especially if they hit 31 of them).   The freethrow shooting team must have taken their aggressive pills!

[GSAC Killer]

Its hard for me to criticize now that I am a coach. Being a coach is not easy and I can't even imagine what is going through Coach Lambert's mind after a loss like this .
 Watts I know we joke a lot about stuff on hear but this is unacceptable. Although this message board is for us old guys I hope one of the current players read this:
IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO LOSE GSAC GAMES!! IT HURTS YOUR CHANCES TO GO TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT.. IT TAKES A LOT OF DEDICATION ON AND OFF THE COURT TO BE CONSIDERED GREAT... THERE IS A REASON WHY COACH HAS ONLY GONE TO THE SWEET 16 (TWICE) AND (ELITE 8 ONCE) BECAUSE THOSE TEAMS PAYED THE PRICE......
 ITS ABOUT TIME YOU GUYS BUCKLE DOWN AND FINISH STRONG... DON'T GOT TIME TO COME AROUND AND LET THE BOYS KNOW HOW I FEEL.... ALTHOUGH ITS DIVISION III TAKE PRIDE THAT WE HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST CONSISTENT FOR YEARS AND TEAMS WILL NOT GIVE YOU WINS.IT BOTHERS THE GUYS WHO DID PAY THE PRICE WHEN WE LOSE GAMES LIKE THIS..

BY THE WAY CONGRATS TO PIEDMONT AND COACH GLENN

[GSAC Killer]

saw and read the link...I gave that guys team the business.lol

Never beat me.. Good for him though.. Living the dream..

[mattgrubb]

well said Killer
I wish the guys would learn one lesson, you only get one go round in college basketball so you have to make the most of it.  The more you sacrifice for something, the more it is worth to you.  And the only thing that matters how is much you value it.  Yea its only D3 and yea its only the GSAC, but as i have said before, winning is a habit and it carries over.  i saw the free throw stats, but you have to rise above everything to be great.  It doesn't matter how big the pond is, if you arent the biggest fish in your own pond, then you will never be the biggest fish in any pond. 
Now the scots have to repay milligan and piedmont or they could fold, but i bet RDL won't let them fold. He sure is earning his coaching only salary this year.

On a positive note, they don't make the frontpage of d3hoops.com for victories, but they sure do when they lose, that verifies they have a lot less losses than victories

Congrats Old Lion, Piedmont in 1st Place in the GSAC!

Congrats Old Lion, Piedmont in 1st Place in the GSAC!

Wow ... huh?  Just when I thought I'd seen it all ...

What can possibly top that?  I guess Pelosi is going to do something to earn my respect and admiration?   

[old_lion]

Grubb, Scottie, Killer,

I am impressed by your graciousness in dealing with the loss.

I know that's an area that you neither have, nor want, much experience in.

I am certain the Scots will be more than ready for Round II in Murvul.

[Ron Domino]

It appears the most talented Maryville College team in several years will be the one who ends the streak of consecutive tournament bids. 

[scottiedoug]

Ron Domino:

Unless the Scots lose another D3 game (in this case that would mean another GSAC game), they still will be the only GSAC team with a shot at a NCAA tournament bid from either Pool B (most likely) or Pool C (quite unlikely).

Pigs can fly, so the Scots could lose again in D3, but I would not count on it.

RDL said on the radio that he had expected and the team had talked about all the stuff you have to handle on the road to be a successful team but did not make the key plays down the stretch.  Did not do what Killer and Grubby One have highlighted...be the tougher team.   That means that in this case, the Lions did do what they had to.

It is good for the GSAC and Maryville for Coach Glenn and his program to get better and better.  That can only help the problem of building a real men's basketball conference with 7 or 8 teams some of which are consistently competitive with the Scots.

[THE jackroberts]

This is an embarrassing loss and makes me sick to my stomach to see us lose to Piedmont and be anywhere other than 1st place in the conference! This is unbelievable. Somebody on that team other than Coach Lambert and Coach Wallace better wake that team up!

[mattgrubb]

if you are truly a teammate's friend then you are not friends between the lines, you push each other to the limit, then when you step outside the lines you go back to being nice to each other.

In my case, you are never nice to The jackroberts b/c i am his daddy.

[wilburt]

Head's up Piedmont there will be some very unhappy scots come saturday

Old Lion I think bkbfan30 was correct in his prediction, although he was a day early.

Congrats Old Lion, Piedmont in 1st Place in the GSAC!

Doing it again will top it!  But the odds are against it though!
