After starting the season the way we did, I never would have predicted CNU getting a first round home game. But this just means I get to watch AU choke in the last few mins again. haha

We do seem to have their number, but I still wish that you hadn't said that out loud!

Trust me, thats nothing compared to what we were saying to the players during the game last time we played them.

i wanted a pink shirt too but i didn't know where to get it.

Last night's game was the best I've seen CNU play all season. They were aggressive from the jump and didn't let up. We actually got to see them fight for rebounds, dive on the floor for loose balls, and simply play like they wanted the win. Can't say enough about Davon. He is really stepping up as the leader of the team. I started having flashbacks to last years games near the end when NCWC made the run at the end but the Captains held on.

OK, then either you are CNU85's fvaorite player or you are RS.  There are only a handful of subs that played in a majority of the games, didn't start, and weren't called on for an offensive spark.  That short list should be KF (CNU85's fav) and RS. Judging by the frequency with which he hoisted up 3's, JK was an offensive specialist, so I'm ruling him out.  I think you are RS based on your "energy" comment.  What happened to you?  We could use some energy this year.

JK decided not to play  (I tried to talk him into coming back). I don't know what happened to RS. The only reason I'm not playing is because my eligibility was up. We tried getting me an extra year but the NCAA turned that idea down. I would have rather played with this years team than last year's. The current team has a number of talented guys but being that 3/4s of the team is new, it is going to take some time (more than I thought it would take) for them to gel.

This probably doesn't help much but  I was only put into games for energy, defense and rebounds so I know a little something about that aspect of the game.   

My guess is that you are MW.

haha, no, i'm not MW. I didn't play in all but majority of the games. is that better? I feel like even if I tell my name no one is going to know who I am. I went in the game, did my dirty work, and back to my bench.

I'm new to the board but I read it all the time and felt the need to add my 2 cents on the CNU situation. I was on the CNU team last season and wanted to provide an "inside" perspective.

j's "maybe next year" sig must be a little disheartening to all the cnu fans/players/coaches

Oh come on, narch!  Players and coaches don't read this board!

You'd be surprised how many players log on and read this. I remember doing it after every game last year haha.

3. CNU has been a poor rebounding team for years - it has to be a coaching issue....too many teams for too many years have been really bad under the boards. Do we not recruit rebounders? Is it not emphasized? Is it not being properly coached? I don't have an answer - just some questions and thoughts. 

I never thought I'd be doing this... but I have to defend Coach Woollum here. Yes, rebounding and defense have been a problem for CNU for years now but its not the coaching staff that should be blamed for it. Every day in practice last season we did numerous drills focused on rebounding and defense but coaches can only do so much. And not talking about everyone on the current CNU team, but if the players don't have the heart and passion to play good, strong defense and fight in the trenches for rebounds then that's on the players individually. We had the same problem last year but this year it seems to be a bigger problem.
