MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[wilburt]

FYI, Officially, Coach Glenn and his Piedmont team currently have the longest GSAC regular season winning streak with 3 games.  That streak could possibly end this weekend in Nashville though.

2) I disagree. I think there is more parity in the GSAC this season. I respect all of our teams. I believe any team in the league is capable of having a good game and beating any other team.  Fisk has proved that theory. With that said, IMHO, Murvul is still, clearly, the leader of the pack in the GSAC.

Old Lion, you appear to have contradicted yourself.  How can there be parity in the GSAC this season and yet and still have Murvul "the clear leader" of the pack this season? Inquiring minds want to know...

Is that thin air in Demorest finally getting to you  ?

1) "more parity" ...

It's simple enough. You just have to read a little more thoughtfully and kick that reading comprehension into full gear ... like I'm certain you did during your days at Fisk. A mind is a terrible thing to waste ...

By saying there is "more parity" as opposed to saying "we have reached parity" implies that we are making progress towards parity ... but we aren't there yet. So there still can be a clear leader ... just not as clear as it was ... the lead is dwindling.

When you stop to think about it ... that's the implied discussion whenever parity is being discussed ... not whether or not you've reached parity, but how close to parity are you? Because there is probably very rarely a case, if ever, of any league reaching "absolute parity".

Clear enough?

Well, I guess we've beaten that point to death.


2) thin air?

Nope. Unfortunately, I was born this way.  Keep me in your prayers ...   :>)

Cute Old Lion: A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Thanks for clarifying...

I'm sorry, I used what I learned in my English classes for drafting poetry these past couple of days, rather than kicking in that reading comprehension! My bad...

Huh? I'm afraid you lost me there ... what 3 game winning streak? Maybe my reading comprehension needs a little work too?

But I do appreciate your attempting to say something nice about my Lions ... assuming there is not some dig there that's going over my head.

In any case, you did go to the trouble to use that "green button" ... that's progress ...   :>)


Also, GSACKiller, check this out ...

"That streak could possibly end this weekend in Nashville though."

Now that's how you talk smack in a respectful and subdued manner. Pay attention ... you can learn something from your elders.

As the late, great Richard Pryor (as Mudbone) said, "You don't get to be old, being no fool!"  

[wilburt]

My mistake again Old Lion, it was Huntingdon not Piedmont with the GSAC 3 game winning streak.  I should stop trying to do so many things at once.

Piedmont could possibly start a winning streak this weekend in Nashville, if James Shivers doesn't suit up for the Bulldogs.

[old_lion]

Being the eternal optimist, I'm going to take that as a good sign ... that perhaps you are clairvoyant and you were having a premonition of a coming 3 game GSAC winning streak for Piedmont. Hope springs eternal ...

Are you going to be in Nashville this weekend? Maybe I'll see you there? I'm hoping for another hard fought contest like we had in Demorest ... with a slightly different outcome, of course.

[wilburt]

I don't live in Nashville, nor Tennessee Old Lion, otherwise I would be there to meet you.

As I told Coach Haynes, I live in an undisclosed location in the Eastern Time Zone .

I am no clairvoyant, if I really were, FISK would have defeated MURVUL twice this season!  Then again, that could still happen !

Thanks for the Richard Pryor reference, you made me laugh soooo hard....

[GSAC Killer]

Hey Matt Grubb our boy Wilburt wins one game and he is a POSTING MACHINE!! He has posted like 10 times in the last two days compared to his 2 posts in 3 months.. WOW you are guys at Fisk are definitely not used to winning big games...
Old Lion I wish you guys the best in Nashville.. Adams was ejected from our game and by NCAA rules he should sit his next game is that against Piedmont??

  1st Team All Conference: Courtney Ellis, Monte Calloway, Allen White for sure...
      Player of the Year: My boy Monte Calloway but I would consider Courtney Ellis....
      But my favorite player to watch is believe it or not is Marquis Patton from Fisk... Great attitude, heck of a defender and his mid-range game is similiar to that of Rip Hamilton from the Pistons..

[wilburt]

Raul I have to catch up on the couple of weeks I missed when I was in hibernation.  I am contemplating going back into hibernation in a week or so as well.  It seems to bring my Bulldogs good luck!

BTW speaking of big games Raul, who was the last ranked team MURVUL beat during the regular season?  That should be this week's trivia question for you, since MURVUL rarely plays them until NCAA tourney time...

Talk to you soon GSAC Killer...

[ohyeah]

Ill answer for Raul....the answer, this year when Maryville beat then ranked #10 Transylvania.  Hope that helps since you were criticizing MC's schedule.

What's the rule, Killer? Is it the next game, or the next conference game?

Knoxville College was the next game, we will be the next GSAC game. I don't know if he sat out the Knoxville game or not ... because apparently, Knoxville college's Sports Info Dept is worse than Fisk's. (Sorry Wilburt, just stating the obvious.)

Not bad selections for All-GSAC ... What, no love for any of my Lions? We are much improved, so I would think a few of our guys are worthy of consideration for post season honors. But, in my opinion, it is going to be difficult for any of them to stand out ... because we are deep and Coach Glenn has been so democratic with the PT this year.

I'd be interested in your opinion though, Killer. Because, as you know, no one sees the floor and understands what's going on out there better than an old PG. I'm kidding, sort of ... But I would like to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Close, but no cigar.

It was my understanding that when Maryville played Transy in December, Maryville was ranked but not Transy. Transy later became ranked in January, and Maryville later dropped from the rankings. 

Try again...   Next time let Raul answer for himself, since he talked about winning big games.  It appears he can talk for himself well enough, unless he needs a ventriliquist to give him the answers.

I do agree with Raul's first team all-conference picks though...

[scottiedoug]

It is not clear to casual observers in the Knoxville area whether Knoxville College's basketball program is affiliated with either the NCAA or NAIA, and I do not know if that even matters for the suspension issue....

[ohyeah]

wilburt,

you are incorrect.  when maryville played transylvania at the start of the year, Transy was #10 in the country by d3hoops.  Its ok to be wrong sometimes william.  Just admit it when you are.

Actually, YOU are wrong. Transylvania has never been ranked higher by D3hoops.com than the No. 19 they are right this second.
