MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

old_lion · January 31, 2006, 08:31:50 AM

Strangely enough, I came away feeling pretty good about Piedmont's 122 - 99 loss to DII North Ga and their 3 former DI players. They are very good ... especially offensively. Had they not shot 46 FTs to our 19 (we both made 84%), it could have been a pretty close game. 23 more FTs made ... 23 point final margin ...

North Ga never "called off the dogs" (their two leading scorers played 37 and 35 minutes) ... which is fine ... so I felt pretty good about playing them essentially even in the 2nd half. We were pushing the ball, getting some transition buckets, and seemed to really be getting on a roll. I thought we had some good combinations on the floor and played with as much confidence and energy as we have in awhile ... definitely an effort we can build on for the end of our conference schedule.

I hope our guys can keep this same flow going against Toccoa Falls. Because if we can keep playing like we did (especially in the 2nd half) last night, I think we have a good shot at Fisk on Saturday.

Great game at Maryville last night, even if the Scots had lost, which they did not do. Clutch plays by lots of people, including a bunch of the freshmen. If Murvul plays like that against Fisk, they will be fine. CN has some really talented and big and quick players but the Scots stayed focused and made the plays. Only 10 turnovers. Blair played a great game (that's three in a row!).

Monte got hurt and did not return...don't know how badly. He stayed dressed and was standing in the second half with a wrap on his knee.

Anybody else know more?

Monte is fine... Bobby is fine.... The Scots are fine.... Big win for Coach Lambert and his staff.. Great job coaching and scouting.. Last night was a perfect example of a well coached team and a team full of athletes. Carson Newman with the ability of having scholarship players did not look too good. Carson Newman might have the better players but coaching plays a big part in winning games and that is why the Scots came out with the W...
Great inbounds call and great backdoor call late in the game by the one and only Coach Randy Dean Lambert...
Bo stepped up his game n Mr.Bradley "Spring Bling" Blair is on a roll...
Fisk tomorrow.. Its for all the Marbles... A lot at stake... South Region Game, Conference Streak, and 1st Place in the GSAC..

P.S.
Want to give a shout out to the Scots JV team and Coach Spencer Beaty and Coach REx Wallace.. Undefeated with 7-0 record.. Can someone give my main man Beaty a job.. No doubt he would have any team in the GSAC in the NCAA tournament... Also some love to the Cooper Crazies or the Lambert Locos like I call them... Great atmosphere last night in the BBG..

Will be back to post in February...

It was a phenomenal game last night, Bradley Blair freakin dominated and we beat them in the halftime intramural challenge they should be embarrassed
If you had told me before the game that Monte and Bobby were not going to play and MC would win with the guys that were on the floor i would have slapped your mother
The game was awesome, great experience for Chaney and Blair as well as Holliday, Johnson and the crew of freshmen that played, that will make Maryville strong later in the month of February
Bradley Blair played a game no one thought he was mature enough to do, he carried the scots on his back offensively and defensively it was amazing
Bo mason came to play 4 sure
And Last but definitely not least Andy Chaney is a better person than Dale Clayton (CN's coach), he is a better person than anyone that was in the gym last night, he could be the best person and player alive
Andy Chaney for president
now on to Fisk
Gooooooo Scots

mattgrubb · February 01, 2006, 09:16:06 AM

now that Jeremy Holliday is playing better we need to get him a makeover, he needs that superstar look
Let's say leave the beard, it covers his face, but the hair, we need to work on that, if we could fix that and get him a little exfoliation i think he would start scoring 20 a game
Spencer, let's get on that
Killer, i am leaving most of it up to you though, you are the style expert

GSAC Killer · February 01, 2006, 10:28:56 AM

Mr.Grubb you are something else but I agree... There is definitely something special about J-Ro's look.. I will work on the clothes you work on the hair and Coach Beaty will work on his post moves...
Big game tonight... Senior night for 3 great guys.. Chopper Calloway, Andy "Chain Gang" Chaney" and Greg "Craig Mart" Martin....

Wow senior night against Fisk is that CONFIDENCE OR WHAT!!!!!!
Thats all I have to say....

P.s. See you tonight Mr.Grubb... By the way thanks for your assistance Monday night in the Halls of Carnegie...

I would like to congratulate the fisk bulldogs for there win over us. I was not please with the profane behavior of the fisk section. At the end of the game two balls were thrown at the scoreboard and that just isnt good. the majority of the fisk section were flipping the bird to the MC student section. I understand that this is fisks first win at Boydson and i didnt even care that they took our "is that not the winning team" chear but i feel sorry for the children in the fisk section and in the MC section. That was poor sportsmanship. I congratulate Adams and the rest of the team but i wish Adams would have picked up the trash after he threw a trashcan after getting his second technical for talking back to the referee. That isnt classy.

Spencer Beaty · February 01, 2006, 10:22:38 PM

Man we needed monte calloway last night. His defense would have helped big time. I dont like to be negatvie but BO and Jeremy played the worst i have ever seen them play. When we have our usually lazy bradely blair playing his heart out and bo walking down the floor making silly turnovers and jeremy being afraid to take it to the rack that is where our problem is. We just are not tough enough. Bobby is hurt and so is monte but where was the support i just dont know what we are going to do. Andy Chaney ill try to remeber you before tonight not during it. Its been fun

Spencer Beaty · February 01, 2006, 10:23:04 PM

Good game fisk see you come tourney time

Spencer Beaty · February 01, 2006, 10:24:39 PM

Grubb you should have rubbed my picture on the day of the game
