MBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Ralph - they struggled because they went cold on offense and couldn't hit anything from outside for most of the weekend. RMC went over 10 minutes without scoring a point in the second half... and Alvernia really pushed it on offense and good passing and patience really lead to some great opportunities inside and out.

RMC's offensive problems in that second half continued right into the SMC game and they never figured it out and it cost them a chance to advance.

[Ralph Turner]

Wow, D-mac!  That is the wrong time of the year to hit your cold streak!   

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Um... yes. It was unreal to watch in the second half of the Alvernia game... just didn't hit anything and honestly it isn't like they shot a lot either... just seemed out of sorts.

Then against SMC they couldn't hit from outside so they had to start dumping inside and that fed into SMC's defense. Braxton was a complete non-factor and no one else could handle the inside defense which included double-teams from the guards up top and from the forward on the other side.

RMC simply looked out of sorts when both defenses kept them from executing on the outside.

Sectional article on d3hoops has Marcus Khan coaching both Cabrini and VWC. A busy guy.   If VWC loses to Williams,  I hope they blame Coach Khan not Dave Macedo.     Good luck to all the teams tomorrow!!  Go Marlins!

Cry yourself to sleep R-MC fans and players.  You guys make all kinds of excuses up for getting handled sat. nite.  Its ashame you cry about everything when your team loses just except the fact that you guys weren't prepared or ready to win against SMCM at their home court.  F&M had the same crowd last year in a sweet 16 game and they pulled it out.  excuses are like buttholes everybody has one and they all stink.  That is two ODAC teams that have felt the wrath of SMCM in the 2nd round of the tourney in the last two years.  Not to mention in St Mary's very first sweet 16 appearance a few years ago they beat Guilford at Guilford.  Sounds like the ODAC cant match up with SMCM come tourney time.  Its ok all you bitter old R-MC alumni just write another check to school and get better kids for next year.  At least the seniors got an ODAC championship at R-MC.  Virginia is for lovers, Maryland is for ballers. 

Why does this kind of trash talk from SMCM not surprise?  We said from the get-go we weren't making any excuses & that our team played badly in MD.  We may not be ballers but least we can read & speak plain English.  P.S.  ... we wouldn't trade our kids for yours for love OR money.  GO MARLINS!!!

[FISHTANKFAN]

WELL, IT SEEMS i cannot type or spell either.  Meant to type Coach Kahn not Khan. apologies.

Fear the Fish! GO Marlins - beat Williams!  Good Luck to Virginia Wesleyan tomorrow night!!!

[FISHTANKFAN]

 Nice interview on Hoopsville tonight with Coach Macedo and Dave McHugh.   Got some insight into tomorrow's game as well as some questions and answers about why scheduling is so important now to all teams. Great show, as always.

[Will2Win]

Good Luck Today Marlins from an EMUer!!!

This is very painful and will be the only time in my life that I will say:

GO VWC!!!!   GO FISH!!!!!

[DeWayneCarter]

VWC trailed early 13-2 but ended the first half on a 32-13 run and they lead at the half 34-27 over Williams... VWC is shooting the ball very well

[donho]

 Appears the fans are very close to the playing floor.  Does that gym really seat 1800 ?

Well so much for St Marys only being a team that can make it to the sweet 16.  So i guess u guys hatred continues as the seahawks continue to dance into the elite 8.  I would stay on my own board but since it is a ghost town on the CAC board might as well come to the board where the most action is the ODAC and talk about how SMCM has dominated the ODAC in the tourney.  Would be nice to see VWC and SMCM play in Salem, Virginia bc VWC is the best team in the ODAC and a rematch from last years game would be fantastic.  One game at a time though wishful thinking only gets you where R-MC is rt now and thats home reading these posts watching the live stats. Hows ur spring break going R-MC? did your rich alumni uncles and fathers pay for u to go to cancun or panama city to drink away your tears and sadness of defeat?

Real class, I'm sure your mother is proud of you!

[DeWayneCarter]

I hate that my Marlins couldn't come away with the win but they took Williams and gave them all they had... Williams finally got a lead off of a Whittington dunk with around 5 mins left.... VWC gave a great effot and even though they didn't get the win they made the VWC fans and the ODAC proud. Like I said they went to Williams expecting to win and it looked like they would for a majority of th game. Good job VWC I love you guys...


One thing I can take away from this game though..... we have NO seniors on our roster. We'll be back next year.... GO MARLINS!!!
