MBB: Centennial Conference

Pat Coleman · March 02, 2011, 01:39:45 PM

I'm saying that in practice over the past decade or so, greater attendance hasn't resulted in a lower-seeded team getting a home game.

You can quote the rulebook and that's fine but it's one of four factors and it hasn't been an overriding factor in many years. Fiscal responsibility has been maintained by geographic means rather than attendance history. A few thousand bucks aren't enough for the NCAA to remove a home game from a higher-seeded team.

Any word on the GAME?--match-ups, type of play, etc.
Guess we've been distracted here; haven't seen NC Wesleyan this year.

ronk, the understatement of the year!

NC Wesleyan looks very good. The Bishops have a 6-3 guard who shoots tons of threes, but I have no idea about their style, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing if F&M build on the defensive performance they put together vs. Dickinson.

There is a game this weekend? I wonder how the parking and away facilities are at Va wesleyan?

ronk · March 02, 2011, 01:55:28 PM

I think I recall parking in a grass field at the final 4 in 2005; hope it's not raining. The gym was fine, and I doubt the locals will fill it before your 1st game.

I am sure it will be better then f&m's disaster.
I knew docmarc that u would love that post!! And u responded just as i thought u would. I would love if the dips had a shuttle service, that would be great!! And i wish i did have a vip space! Can u look into that for me?? I see you totally ignored the rest of the post, so u must have agreed!! I will count that as progress that u are beginning to see that the dips aren't a great place to play!

3000 seat gym with a press box, not really sure how thats different than most top schools' facilities. Although since you have trouble understanding how to cross a street, i imagine a 90 second walk to your locker room might really trouble you!

LustyLarryintheToilet · March 02, 2011, 02:21:11 PM

ronk if youve been there before you can be our source. seeing this is southern virginia, are we allowed to bring our guns into the arena or will they simply hand us a spare one on our way in?

ronk · March 02, 2011, 02:26:21 PM

It was a women's final 4 and things didn't seem as contentious then as this week on the message board, although that tunnel backup did rile me.

docmarc · March 02, 2011, 02:30:41 PM

Bball your original post about mayser center was ridiculous. But what do I know I need to get a life and learn to move on from the past.

LustyLarryintheToilet · March 02, 2011, 02:35:38 PM

yeah bball, i was really looking forward to a CC title rubber match of f+m v gburg. unfortunately dickinson handed them a heaping helping of FAIL. sad. it was probably cuz gettysburg didnt have a white board

bball2020 · March 02, 2011, 02:44:05 PM

Not sure what is ridiculous about it. Just the truth.
Not sure about the get a life comment, wasn't from me.
Lusty, not sure where the trouble crossing the intersection comes from?? Just because there parking lot is farther away and u must cross a highly traveled road doesn't mean there is "trouble crossing the intersection?" and yes, when u only have 15 mins for halftime wasting 2 minutes is a problem. I suppose you may not understand that though if u never had to deal with it!!
Nobody crying on my end about the outcome of the gburg dickinson game. They beat gbur 2 out of 3 games. Clearly they were the better team. Had nothing to do with a whiteboard, but thanks for thinking of that. BUT, not having proper facilities is a good reason to not host.
You crack me up Lusty, always tryin to be smart and down people but can't decipher a post for what it is meant for!!

haha, youre the one who complained about having to cross a highly traveled road that has multiple crosswalks, and until this year a bridge!

bball2020 · March 02, 2011, 02:59:59 PM

Don't see anybody who posted about having trouble crossing the busy streets on here???

They have terrible parking, you must park across the busy road and walk a little distance.

sounds like a complaint to me, and i didnt even knock the fact you complained about walking 120 yards or so

bball2020 · March 02, 2011, 03:37:03 PM

I assume u do know that a football field is 120 yards?? Right??
And their football field doesn't cross the street! So it must be a little farther than "or so!"
Not everybody is in their 20's. Some people have some older legs to them if u know what i mean! Haha
