MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[mattgrubb]

lack of depth seems to be a real problem, i agree with your assessment of 4 or 5 guys to rotate through your big spots down low and i also agree that you need another scorer so you have a counter punch for baldwin who is a big right hook

Hopefully they can get it together, they just breeze through the conference schedule, except for Murvul

Nice assessment

[Spencer Beaty]

Maryville comes away from Florida with a pair of good wins after losing to Avrett.  Hopefully they can beat Covenant on the mountain, which is coming up in a few days.

The Scots keep it going!! Good trip to Florida. Watts this might be the best job Coach Lambert has done in awhile. Piedmont continues to be Piedmont. A team full of talent but just can't win. They should have no excuses. They have a dominant player in Baldwin and a heck of a point guard in Green.

Well I hope the Scots continue this impressive play and get invited to the NCAA Tournament for the 10th consecutive year.

Wish all the Best for the 2008 year!

[Pat Coleman]

Killer, having seen Piedmont in person I can tell you that the team is not very deep. Those two players are not enough to win a basketball game.

[mattgrubb]

Killer, its like the alumni shirt says  GOT FIVE? 
it takes more than 2 players to win basketball games and Coppage has not been the savior they thought he would be

One thing you will notice about Randy's players is that they improve from year to year, very rarely does a player graduate the same player that he arrived in the mountains as, yes even Orr is becoming a victim of the randy lambert improvement program

[GSAC Killer]

Pat,
I just believe that with the type of teams they play and with they got they should not be a losing program year in and year out. Coach Glenn is a good coach I just don't think the kids know how to close out games. They play hard but don't have that winning edge.

Watts you are right! Our Five can play!! Randy does a good job developing guys but a lot of the credit should go the assistants. Coach Wallace and the newly aquired Coach Nelson will develop players better than previous years!

I'm wondering if you really know what they have this year, I guess ...

This is the main thing that is always very true since I have been watching MC men's basketball. My biggest disappointment has been Jeremy. He has his good moments but he is too inconsistent. Otherwise, they each seems to improve constantly. Whether it is Randy, Wallace or themselves, I do not know. It has been a blast to watch Hernandez be in that program.

It is definitley one of the things that brings me back to Cooper every week, every year.


On a side note, tonight I watched a 12year miniature Monte Calloway play ball. Spittin' image of an MC great!

The Panthers found a bandage in the form of Pensacola Christian College last night.  Before anybody starts yapping about strength of opponents, this ain't your daddy's Christian College.  Four senior starters, good size and they can absolutely fill it up when they get going.  If you ask anybody what we do here at LC, the usuall response is that we play hard.  HSC and MU played harder than us at certain times and that was very disappointing.  PCC plays with a lot of passion and our number one goal was to play more passionate and energetic than they did.  We made that happen thus victory was ours. 

Ourselves and Huntingdon kick off the men's side of things in the GSAC on Saturday in Montgomery.  The facility advancements that Huntingdon made are very nice. 

[mattgrubb]

yeah coach haynes we noticed the improvements to the brickhouse and we are upset, the scots are going to have to step up their facilities.  things are in the works.

I noticed PCC has a nice lil facility down there, i heard that school is fanatical about their bball team.

yes, that 12 year has already been preaccepted to murvul, he will be there in the fall of '14, so get ready

He isn't the first young'un to commit to MC early. 

[scottiedoug]

I see from the MC stats that the Scots have 10 players averaging over 13 minutes a game.  This is a pretty real change for a RDL team, isn't it?

[scotswin]

It seams like 5-6 years ago he went to the bench pretty heavy.  I think I remember being suprised how many minute Placeras got, because before him, no one would get more than 25 minutes a game.

[mattgrubb]

well, he doesn't have 2 or 3 players have really standout, Bowers is the only guy they cannot live without

you heard it here first, "Raul was a buster"-ruben gonzalez

[GSAC Killer]

HAHA!! You are the man Mr.Watts!

By the way get ready to get waxed in City League and Saturday!! GAME OVER!!

Scots keep on rolling! Everyone join the Lambert Express because it is going many places this year! This is the year they get passed the 2nd round! Last time they did was my junior year with Mr. Watts on the sidelines coaching the Great Walden Buttram and Jason "Pretty Hair" Doan
