MBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[Seatfiller]

Roanoke with a big win at Virginia Wesleyan yesterday 73-64.  Was a 1 point RC lead at half even though RC got up as much as 9 in the 1st half.  In the second half it was a RC 2 point lead with 2 minutes left but RC's defense played huge and only allowed 1 point in the final 2:44 of the game.

As a Roanoke fan it's awesome to get a good win but also scares me as we have not played that well the next game after winning a big game this season. Roanoke plays at Lynchburg on Wednesday.

In other news around the odac yesterday:

EMU with a big upset and knocks off Averett University 61-58

Hampden Sydney gets a good win against Lynchburg 87-81

Randolph Macon destroys Shenandoah 84-42

Guilford wins at Bridgewater in a big way 108-72

Randolph loses at Washington and Lee 65-77

Averett should win at EMU

There was a time when I didn't speculate about possible outcomes of games. Looks like it's a practice I should go back to.

I hope the incoming class for H-SC has some studs in it because this has been a pretty uninspiring season for the Tigers. Glad I didn't pay for FloSports or whatever it's called to watch this team.

[Tigerfan]

Well, I did, and I watched the LU game last night after my return from the annual golf trip.  Uninspiring is not a bad description.  20 turnovers, mostly unforced including 6 illegal screens, kept the Hornets in what should have been an easy game.  There are glimpses of a good basketball team but the consistency is not there.  One can only hope for improvement before the ODAC tournament.

If you guys see schedule changes for ODAC schools for this weekend because of the possible storm, can you post them with links here for confirmation? Already have Randolph-Macon.

[Patrick Coleman]

Thanks -- one of us will go look up game times when we have a few minutes and then can move those games.

RMC at VWU in a rare 5 pm start Im assuming to accommodate the ladies game afterwards. I was gonna go but the 5 pm start time prevents that so I guess Ill catch it on FloSports.

How much is FloSports? I've been avoiding paying for it.

$8.99/month for an annual subscription ($107.88) if you pay in advance for a year, or $19.99/month on a month-by-month plan.  Some discounting for .edu email addresses, sometimes schools or conferences will have a special signup link that offers a slight discount as well.  Don't know about the ODAC or schools in the conference.

A FloSports account will let you view all events by those schools that have signed up, not just your own or your conference's.  The quality of broadcast still varies widely from school to school and sometimes within a school from sport to sport.

All of Saturday's ODAC games are now scheduled for Friday.

I've had FloSports for about a year.Our Grandson plays in the SCAC- he plays shortstop for the University of Dallas and the SCAC has had an agreement with Flosports to broadcast all of their games for some time now and if we wanted to see him play( short of flying to Dallas every weekend) we had to suscribe to Flosports. So when the ODAC decided to go with Flosports my wife and I already had a history with them. For the most part they do a great job- sometimes, depending on the school,they may not have announcers available or the video feed may not be the best but thats not FlosSports-its the school!It may take them a little time to work all of the kinks out, especially in sports theyre not used to broadcasting but I will say for the most part they do very well.I think its great for sports that they havent traditionally broadcasted- especially for parents that don't live that close to a school like my wife and I are with The U of Dallas because it gives us an opportunity to see all of the games!The only downside is that we now are paying for what we used to get free, but that is just a part of the world of competitive atghletics in this day and time.

Thank you for the info. Side note Roanoke and Lynchburg is really close, RC with a 4 point lead 4 minutes before half.

Road games, what can you say?  It looks like Macon played quite well, but the Fish were able to shoot 3s a little more comfortably on their home court.  The Maroons were apparently right at home on LU's court and smoked the Hornets 92-68.  Guilford is getting on a roll and Shenandoah finally picked up a conference win.  I don't think much can be judged by H-SC's win over Randolph, but its good to see hard working William Britt lead the scoring.  He has been a glue guy for the Tigers.
