MBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[hasanova]

Hope the Quakers travel ready to play today ... some of their recent trips to Ashland have been U-G-L-Y!  Hope every ODAC team gives it their all today.

Didn't get a chance to watch Saturday, but looks like the Jackets stung the Quakers by double digits.

EMU has GOT to learn how to make Free Throws.  Geez.  3-17 in the second half from the line.  That will not cut it in High School.  And that was a home game.  http://www.emuroyals.com/sports/mbkb/2014-15/releases/201501105pj1iv

And one of their 60+% FT shooters is no longer on the roster in Kwa McDonald. I haven't seen them play yet, how often do they get "intentionally" fouled, ala Hack-A-Shaq? I know teams have to be hacking away on Falk at 35%.

It's crazy the # of missed FTs. I was looking at the losses EMU has had - four by a combined 9 points. And they have missed over 50 combined free throws in each game. I know you can't take one stat in a vacuum and say if they just did this or that they could have won the game because one thing can have ramifications on how the rest of the game plays out (for one, EMU probably wouldn't be shooting as many FTs if they made 65-70% of their attempts), but EMU might just be undefeated if they made free throws.

d3hoops polls out thru Sunday Jan 11th  VWC 8th and RMC 16th (same as last week) - H-SC is 32nd and Lynchburg is 41st.

Speaking of LC, the Hornets visit Guilford tomorrow night.  Hope Guilford doesn't renew their J-term experiment ... sad to see so many ODAC games in January with so few students in attendance.

d3hoops polls out thru Sunday Jan 11th  VWC 8th and RMC 16th (same as last week) - H-SC is 32nd and Lynchburg is 41st.

Interesting how these things aggregate to a final result. One of the voters posted his ballot on the "Top 25 Talk" page in Multi-Regional Topics: http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2015/01/12/daves-top-25-ballot-week-6-2/. He had R-MC 7th and VWC 13th. That means a fair number of the other voters have to think more highly of VWC than they do of R-MC for their spots in the overall poll to be almost completely flipped.

rmc1982 ... You'll be safer, watching it on your tablet, because you won't have to drive home after the game on icy roads with sad tears in your eyes ...

GO TIGERS!!

RMC showed their stuff tonight  77-55 over H-SC.  Was about a 11 point game with a few minutes to go and lights out with 3 pointers.  Not sure how many but RMC entire team was putting them in.  H-SC  scored 8 points in last minute so it was really a blow out. RMC freshman really started with 4-5 3 pointers in first 5 minutes of the game and never looked back.  Well - next time!

[HSCDad]

RMC  14 - 3 pointers at 52%  Lewis /Murray, H-SC dynamic backcourt went 3 for 20 tonight - hard to keep up that way.

OUCH!!!!  In addition to staying safe off the road, you can drink bourbon during the game with the tablet.  Yes, a great game by our Jackets, and Boo-YA for Engel and Silverthorn on 8-14 on 3s.  Several weeks ago, I called this duo and their 3s, glad they both showed up against the girls in the woods.  Hand me another bourbon!

Agreed. That was embarrassing. RMC outplayed and coached the Tigers yet AGAIN. You could sense the energy and intensity with the yellow jackets tonight. They wanted to win and they showed it. The Tigers haven't had passion for a while...no boxing out on free throws, no following shots, hands are down low and not in the faces of the other players, and they just flat-out look sluggish. Our coaches need to light fires under the asses of our players. Now that the second semester is here, that means the guts of the schedule is too and if the Tigers want to get a good seed in the tournament, they need some fire.  Man, I could go on and on but I think it's time for a bourbon drink...or six...teen.

YES CMR.... A couple of Makers Marks were raised in our Jacket's honor tonight,as any RMC Gentleman should!! I really hope the Tigers get it together..... our conference is MUCH BETTER when they do!! I feel for my HSC buddies.... they deserve better!!
