guys will separate themselves based on production as the season winds up.  Eventually it falls on them

The Scots will have lots of depth and a video board.  There will be highlights of Jack Roberts on the video board and maybe some of the players or whatever.  Coach P is building something special, well his wife is but she is letting him take the credit for it.  The alumni, who I thought were all deadbeats and/or degenerates, are coming through again this year on the fundraiser!  In all seriousness, the alumi base for MC basketball comes through every year and the alumni base provided a great tag team coaching duo.  Coach P and Coach McCord work great together and are doing great things for those young men.  The program is starting to get a Y2K feel to it, like something special is going to happen over the next 5-7 years.  You can tell by the way Jackson Garner struts like a peacock now that he has located the weight room then surprisingly learned to lift some weights.  Two huge steps for that young man.  I am sure his amazing stepfather dragged him in there one day and showed him how a real man works out!!!!  He's still got it!
Now my crazy prediction for the year:  Daryl Rice will have a phenomenal year!  He's taken a step forward every year and he will take a giant leap this year and coach P will love life when the ball is in his hands.  He will also have a career year for assists and steals as he will be able to focus on everything in his bag and score only when he needs to.  He is being coached by two great Scots PG's!!!!

I can't wait to see the new locker room and upgrades at Murvul.  Coach P is the greatest Coach Murvul has ever had!  I know there was another good one there once but I can't quite remember his name.  Who was there before Coach Placeres?  Was it Bob Johnson?

Murvul is chasing a pool c bid and i don't think they will get it with the bulk of their nationally ranked schedule behind them.  Good move to a new conference and it will work out long term but there will be two years of pain.

Coach P wins games! 

You get guys that are better if they want to play.  The Scots return everyone, except Griswold unless he chooses to return, and should be in the national spotlight next year.  Their strengths will be PG, Wing, and Post play.  The need a bigger big and a stronger wing player to truly compete as in they need some muscle.  The top teams are very strong teams, like JR just taller.  These guys will be even better next year!

What a nice win for Murvul over a strong Piedmont team. Owens-Clements and Jolly are strong for sophomores, Quick is a nice player, and Foote is always impressive. Murvul finally has what good D3 teams need: Depth. I look for some great games between Piedmont and Murvul next year. Great job by both teams in this weird time. The mental toughness they showed and adversity they conquered will make them much better next year when they get back to normal.

For Coach P, what a difference a year makes. Last year he lost so many close games and we all thought it was because of coaching, but apparently it was due to youth. We think. Great performances by several players in the championship game made Coach P look like a better coach. Hopefully this restarts the habit for the Scots, champions win, if it's the makeshift western division USA south conference championship or the real thing or a  pick up game, champions win. Hope to see these guys win a lot more and bring Coach P and McCord along for the ride.

I love the Piedmont team.  I think Orry Clements Owens (hope I got that right) is as smooth as it gets at the D3 level, Foote is exactly what you want, and quick is good too.  They play hard and are fun to watch.  Now with that said, I hope the athleticism of Murvul wins the game.  With every game the Scots play it comes down to Chong, if he shows up big, then its a big win, if he doesn't then Nick and Myles have to find a way.  Never forget JR running the point as he can drop 30 when needed and he makes tough shots.  Just Glad they are playing and playing for a championship.  Since this is the western division title game, so it could be a semi final game, it is the 20 year anniversary of the McCord Miracle and if you don't know what that is..........then you need to find out if you're a Murvul Fan and don't ask if you are a piedmont fan!!!!  Ok, its a steal and a 75 foot bank shot made as time expires to send the Murvul v Piedmont game in the conference semis to overtime where Grubby did the rest (as usual).  McCord will be on the sidelines coaching but his magic is still there aka "he's still got it!"

Look at Coach P's career win % after this season....YUGE!!!!!!!!!  He should be coach of the year across the nation.  From 9-like 38 last year to 9-2 so far this year.
Im starting the campaign now and I need Pat and D-Mac on board for the Coach P for coach of the year train!!!!!

Also shout out to Scots Legend Kris Sigmund and both his kids committing to play for the Scots turning down power 5 offers and committing to play at a young age.  They will dominate for Coach P.  Huge News on the recruiting front.  The future is very bright for the Scots and Coach P will win at least 4 more CoY awards with those two!

My wife has cut off my pot of money. I will use the last of what I have to find Coach Wallace's kryptonite.  The Scots need to beat Lagrange tomorrow to make things weird for the conference tournament.

Cool.  We have made sure Murvul is ready if there is an opportunity!  We are proud alums...........now that they are back in the receiving votes column.  We had to hide in shame for a while.  Our pride would show a lot more if they were in the top 15.  Unfortunately for the men, we have to give all our love and resources to the lady Scots b/c they are in the top 10!!!

Long Live The Legend that is Coach T!!!

Dave,
give us an update on any potential post season tournaments for D3 teams? if any?
thanks
The Grubby One

good points D-Mac.  Would suck to drop 70 on a d1 team and not get the record for most points in a game b/c it was an "exhibition."  Flipside is exhibition or not, there were still two baskets, 1 ball, some refs, 10 players on the court and GC gave them a beating!!!!!

Well said. No D3 guy will ever use the word exhibition when they win.

Yes, understandable.  The D3 championships are an expense to the NCAA and with the loss of revenue or at least unpredictability of revenue from the men's Div I tourney this was almost inevitable.  Not going to comment on the virus side of the equation, just going to follow the money.

Anyway, my dude Wallace at Lagrange is still going to ball out and do all he can to win the now updated USA South West div conference tourney!  Looks like it will be Murvul vs Wallace (AKA Lagrange) for the championship!

Also I wanted to reiterate that GC beat a D1 team this season!!!!!!

When we invite to the Smokies, we pick up the check.....southern hospitality is legendary!
