Spencer's list is some pretty good basketball players! It does betray some generational bias (aka historical myopia) in that there were some pretty good players at MC before some of y'all were around these parts.

of course I am. Those are the best basketball players at MC since I have been going to the games. I think I will be suffering from a lack of MC games over the next little bit.

So who were you playing defense on? Please don't say Sid

You really didn't play much defense since you basically fouled out in every game!!

Ok enough is enough Mr.White... I will get off your case but remember this: Like my boy HOVA says: "Men and women lie, but Numbers don't"

I will be nice and say that You were a pretty darn good player... By the way congrats to the Scots and Coach Lambert.. I am telling you with the knuckleheads he has, in my opinion best coaching job he has done in the last 5 to 6 years...

Keep it up Bobby and Bo!!!
Oh by the way a shout-out to my ex-roommates Bradley " The NBDL" Blair and and Alex "Bow Wow" Bowers.. By the way if Alex continues to play this way he is fighting for a potential 1st Team All Conference spot...

Very exciting win in OT last night.

A couple of things that were especially gratifying ...

1) We were able to perservere in spite of some questionable calls on Baldwin and Whitlock ... who both eventually fouled out. (Not sure what happened with that box score, no way Baldwin played 44 minutes???) But, I am thankful for the "relatively stellar" officiating that we got compared to what our women's team had to endure in the first game ... we shot 6 FTs, compared to their 34!

2) Both Rubio and Mayweather came off the bench with HUGE performances, including several clutch plays down the stretch.

I know that when I watched MC play Mr. White's teams, I always felt better when he did not have the ball.

Lambert and his bunch seem to have figured out how to do what it takes to win games, even if it always seems like they might not. Good win at Oglethorpe.

Maryville 84 Oglethorpe 80

Bo Mason 1-13 from 3.

You can probably take HIM off your first team all GSAC ballots. He almost let a 17-0 lead slip away.

Bo Mason was 7-20 with 9 assists and one turnover, 2 steals, 15 points, 4 rebounds and key defensive stops when it mattered. Not his best game, but not all that shabby.

It is not clear to me how he gets blamed for losing a lead.

Scots, I think that you dodged a bullet on your way to a Pool B bid.

mattgrubb · January 24, 2007, 09:18:01 AM

Bobo can ball, so he is having a tough shooting year, he is actually a shooting guard, he is playing out of position to help the team. he is filling two roles when he plays point. Leave Bobo alone. If you want to pick on someone try and step up to the grubby one

scottiedoug · January 24, 2007, 11:07:46 AM

Ralph: If SCAC and esp. USASouth teams (never mind ODAC) would venture to Maryville for a few games, there would be fewer bullets, or at least not so many in a row. Scots are playing a lot of games in other people's gyms!

In defense of Bo ...

No question, he is having a tough year (37%) from the field, especially for someone whose forte is supposed to be shooting the ball ...

BUT, Matt makes a good point ... it is asking a lot of one player for him to be the team's primary ball handler AND take 26 more shots than anyone else on the team. (I guess that's the Iverson/McGrady approach ... if you throw it up there enough, some of them are bound to go in!)

Heck, in the GSAC, only Lawrence, Baldwin, and Hairston are averaging more shot attempts per game ... and they are not trying to play PG. It's tough to be an efficient scorer when you are being asked to play PG ... which in itself, is a demanding, full-time job. I'm certain it's just a personal bias ... but I've never cared much for the concept of a "shoot-first PG". But, obviously, Lambert knows a lot more about coaching than I do. Apparently, he feels it's his best option under the circumstances.

I bet Bo would love to play with a PG like ours ... so he could concentrate on his shooting. I'd like that too, as long as it was in Demorest.

Yeah, In defense of Bo ... maybe not 1st team all-GSAC ... but I'd certainly take him on my team.
