Great win last night! The boys played well. Now we have a tougher test in HPU. Gonna be a good one. I don't see how this isn't on WatchESPN... all tourneys should be televised.

It's KK's love with PPV that keeps it from being there.

He remembers how awesome those closed circuit broadcasts of Ali fights were.

I was listening to the game at home last night with the wife and when York talked about Davon getting that look in his eye, I knew he was about to put on a show and that is exactly what he did. Its like he tried to put the team on his back and everybody else said, "hey now, you cant do all the work" and you saw Gielo contribute, and JR hit a couple nice shots and everybody fed off that. Listening to some of the calls, youd think that Marshall was shooting from the state capital as deep as some of his shots were.

Good game by the guys, I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Hoping to win a couple of more.

I really hope KK pulls his head out his rear and make this conference something other than Coastal Carolina Central. The video was terrible. Coastal had an alum reffing. How does that happen in a marque event for your conference?

Which ref was a CCU alum? We've had that crew a lot this year and they've been terrible every time. It didn't matter last night since we couldn't shoot, but they've been horrendously inconsistent all year long.

[BJWilliams]

My guess is Porterfield. he seemed to get his name called a lot on our air last night

I didn't mean for the game. I meant for the tournament. Don't recall his name off hand. Someone from GW pointed it out.

One game doesn't make up for a host of errors.

I am referring to the fact that a lot of people wrote last night off as a loss bob

Anthony Franklin is a Coastal Grad. He does a great job though I think. He has been working Big South games for at least the last 2 or 3 seasons. I talk to him all the time. Joe Forte has zero problem assigning him. This is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. Truthfully I thought Justin Porterfield called the second tripping foul on Trap Speaks because he complained so much about the 1st questionable foul he got a few plays earlier. I think for the most part the officials do a great job. No real moments in the games where you can say a call changed the outcome.

[BJWilliams]

I think in his postgame comments, Ellis noted that the second foul on Greenwood had a definite effect. Not that it was a bad call necessarily but according to him it did affect his game to a degree

I have always thought the Big South gets short changed with officials. The better refs are calling ACC games, SEC games, Big East games, etc. BSC gets what's left. Now granted there are a couple decent ones , but as as whole there is room for improvement.

I wonder why?

ballcoach I love ya but some things are best left unposted...even Ive had to learn that the hard way...

[Purple Haize]

So you have a pool of officials. Which ones do you put on Duke v Maryland and which ones do you put on VMI v Longwood? Hmm

[ballcoach15]

I was taught a long time ago:

"Do not shoot the messenger"

But a messenger usually has a logical point. Do you not know how officials are assigned and sorted? Coaching for as long as you say you have one would think you already would have known what we already know.

If not, did you hear about that Armstrong fellow on the moon?

You want a cookie? Chocolate chip or Oatmeal?

[BJWilliams]

Chocolate chip actually...unless you can bring a pack of Archway oatmeal cookies down here or something

Go back to the other page bob...the feeling for the most part (and I'll go out on a limb and suggest that there are those who hadnt posted who felt the same going in last night) was that we would once again lose in the first round and would probably lead to more discussion on if the coach was on his way out or not. I will admit that personally, I certainly didnt like our chances myself because of our lack of success come tournament time in the years since our last championship (before last night, we had lost our first game of the tournament six times since winning in 04, including the last three years). That all said, I was thrilled to find out this morning we had won, and Im hoping that we can capture the same success that we had when we won our first title (which was also in SC)

[grm]

WOW!

Congratulations to L & L (Liberty & Layer) for a fantastic win. Picks up the interest level for the next win as well.... there is great joy in Mudville, and why not!

[BJWilliams]

The other bummer is that if (and I do mean IF) we have both teams playing on championship Sunday, with it being spring break we arent going to be able to galvanize the kind of support we got for the 1994 men's championship (where I think they chartered quite a few buses for the occasion...anyone from that year able to confirm or deny that?)

Wasn't that your sophomore year
