MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[scottiedoug]

D3Hoops has the Scots hosting Defiance on Friday (Heartland champs) and then the winner goes to, you guessed it, Guilford.   Pat has a sense of huimor.

He also has a sense of humor.

What do our Scots have to do in order to host the opening round of the NCAA tournament?! 22-3 two seasons ago and 23-4 this season and no home tournament game...Whats gotta happen??

[scottiedoug]

Not lose to Oglethorpe and Piedmont.  Losing to Guilford can be explained....Maybe even losing to Oglethorpe early can be overlooked, but losing to Piedmont late in the year is a bit more difficult.

[THE jackroberts]

Very True

[batteredbard]

Even then it would have been tough this season.

I suppose there's a scenario that a 25-2 MC might have hosted, but when you have four ODAC teams in the field, two who obviously deserve to host and did, you might have seen Va. Wesleyan come down instead of going to MD and still put CNU and JCU in the pod, but theres way too many other factors to it.

The loss to Piedmont certainly made easily justifiable as to why MC didn't host, but I don't really see a pod host in the region that anyone could argue MC definitely deserved to host over.

I do think its a bit of ironic humor that should Chapman make the Sweet 16 they're more than likely headed cross country to play an ODAC school. Both Bs in the same quad, that's almost as good as putting Maryville University and Maryville College in the same quad.

All these decisions are based on money! Perfect example was my senior year. We were the higher seed but had to play Methodist on a Thursday and Mississippi College had a bye and played us Saturday.
Maryville did not deserve to have a home game. The loss to Piedmont did that.

As far as Greg avenging the Killer's loss in 2004 I hope he can. Watts crazy thing is you were there with us on the sideline. PAINFUL!! los by 2 at Wooster in the Sweet 16. WE HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg's senior season can go as one the most efficient seasons any Lambert players have ever had. 20ppg, almost 10rpg, 60%FG, and 80%FT line... WOW!!
All American ..PRoud of the kid. Has really worked hard. And he is CUBAN!! He is perfect.hahahahahahahahhahaha

Good luck Scots

I have a different take on the 2004 season.

It was to Maryville's advantage to get an easy home post-season first round game to get the butterflies out of your system, before the game versus a harder foe, i.e., Mississippi Colllege.

IMHO, the budget issues worked to your advantage.

The loss piedmont says a lot about this team.  it was on a tough night down in demorest, but do you think there are any easy nights in the NCAA tourney???

[Spencer Beaty]

Anyone know the game time on Friday?
