MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[scottiedoug]

Matt:  It's not so much pulling for Fisk when they play anybody but Murvul.  I would do the same for any other GSAC team that had a shot at helping raise the reputation of GSAC b-ball.

keep it up killer, i am a scot who has won and lost at fisk, i have beaten fisk by 1 point and 50 points, this is turning into a good rivalry, i think tonights game will be awesome
come on bobby golden

Tonight should be a great night in the GSAC, especially in LaGrange.  First home conference game for the men against just as good a rivalry as MC-FU.  Piedmont is the most played opponent in our history with the first contest happening in 1957.  Tonight is #102(LC 70-PC 31) and if it is anything like our last few it is a race to 100.

I would have never guessed the rivalary being a bit one sided.  The men's side of the GSAC has great action every night.  I would think on any given night any one could win it.  Whether it is MC and FU or PC and LC it is going to be interesting.

No disrespect, cause it really doesn't matter. 

In 2003, FISK won the GSAC tourney playing 3 games in 3 days, defeating MURVUL on the second day.  MURVUL got a first round bye and had "fresh" legs for that game and still lost to FISK  .

Yes sir, and that is the only time Fisk has beat Maryville in the last 7 years.

Wednesday is MURVUL at home, and this game makes me nervous for several reasons.  The last two times MURVUL has played FISK in our gym something wierd happens (ie last second Raul 3 pt shot) and FISK loses in overtime.  Not once, but two years in a row!

MURVUL should have had their first regular season GSAC loss a while ago, so I am VERY hesitant to
predict a FISK victory like my friend Matt Grubb.

Turns out I was correct after all...  Now it is 3 years in row!

[wilburt]

Sounds like these 2 teams don't like each other too much. Check out the article.

Should I be afraid to go to Maryville for the next game?

Looks like the referees could have done a better job handling the game...

Oh yeah said:

"Yes sir, and that is the only time Fisk has beat Maryville in the last 7 years."

Not true my friend, FISK also beat Maryville in 2000.  That was pre-GSAC.

[mattgrubb]

yes fisk beat maryville at fisk in 00
sounds like it was a great game last night and lived up to all of the hype
Andy Chaney could be the greatest player in D3 or alive for that matter when i hear Andy Chaney's name it makes me forget things like LeBron who?  that's how good he is

It's been awhile since my last post.  Here are my thoughts.  I watched MC beat Huntingdon and they looked pretty good.  I listened to the game last night and I believe Fisk is definitely an unruly crowd, but that's basketball.  I know MC lost to Averett, who is average at best; however, Translvania is pretty good.  Fisk beat #14 Randolph Macon at RM which if Fisk didn't have several losses should be ranked, but MC just beat Fisk at Fisk.  I believe now MC could win the rest of their games.  This could be MC's best season ever.  I think MC when fully operating on all their pistons can beat anyone, because they are so well coached.  Go Scots!

[wilburt]

All I say is this.  It is tough for any team to win when your leader and All-Conference PG is sent off to the hospital just before the OT period begins.  That must have been some collision!

Nonetheless, hats off to Maryville they won fair and square.

[scottiedoug]

MCScotsalumni85:   Actually Averett is 10 - 4 and seems to have turned the corner. Their Coach, Jimmy Allen, was a really good player at Emory and Henry and has his team playing way better than predicted....

Listening to the game last night confirmed for me that Randy Lambert is a wonderful coach.  He got the team (playing the second half essentially without Golden) to stay with their system and just play better and harder.  Many teams would have gotten blown out of the gym (especially that gym) after that first half.

Willaim:  You will be safe at Maryville (although perhaps not happy with the game).  It would be nice to meet you if you come over.   I hope Chris Adams is ok.

My 2005-06 GSAC regular season predictions


                     CONF    OVERALL
FISK               (7-1)    (19-6)
Maryville         (6-2)    (17-8)
Huntingdon    (4-4)    (17-8)
LaGrange       (3-5)    (13-12)
Piedmont        (0-8)    (9-16)

William Burton, the prognosticator

Wow William, what a relief ... we are now (1-0)  (8-4). At least the "0 and 8 in the conference" part of your curse is dead.

It was a war in LaGrange last night. We had one of our seniors, David Adcock, miss all but 3 minutes of the game with a mild concussion. Hopefully, he'll be back for Murval on Saturday.

I have to tip my hat to Coach Haynes' guys ... no one competes harder night in and night out. And Kudos to Coach Glenn and our staff ... somehow they've been able to get our guys to ratchet up their intensity this year. IMHO, that has been a major factor in our improvement.

But Coach Haynes, can we talk? You have to do something about the crew you have sitting at the table. I've seen better work at rec league games. Find someone who can remember to start the clock. And get your stat guy a copy of the NCAA Stats Manual ... it's available online. Seriously, your team plays with too much heart and pride to be embarrassed by such incompetence at the scorer's table.

And finally William, tough luck re losing Adams going into OT last night. Hopefully, he's OK ... have you heard any reports on his condition yet?

MCScotsalumni85:   Actually Averett is 10 - 4 and seems to have turned the corner.

Re Averett ... I agree, Doug. I've seen them play twice this year ... vs. Piedmont and vs. Oglethorpe. I would certainly rate them above average.

Well i have to change my prediction as well
Now i am thinking Monte will be GSAC POY and good thing, MC's senior always deserves it, but i must add an award and make sure everyone recognizes it as a legite award
Andy Chaney Godfather of the GSAC, he is 32 years old and runs the show
I think he has more gsac experience than lambert
I hope adams is ok, it sounds like it was an awesome game, but the scots have to start playing in the first half, than cannot compete at the national level by only playing half of a game, this is a bad sign for the scots
Keep it up godfather
