Campbell in Big South Final

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

Let's take our minds off team's performance today/entire season. Might have to tune in hoping Kevin McG and Campbell go dancing. Upsetting higher seeds so far but tomorrow's game appears to be the hardest to attain.

Just saw they are the Fighting Camels ..... plenty of them around Buies Creek. Enrollment greater than town's population.

 

[ManiBenton]

Thats the conference we should be in. Richmond would thrive in the Big South

 

[MrTbone]

Feels like some serious bar-lowering.

 

[Gospiders06]

Back to the CAA or big south?

 

[Gallipoli]

Back to the CAA or big south?

More likely the Big East is our destination.

 

[Gallipoli]

Georgetown is 2-18 in the Big East and 7-24. We are certainly better than that.

 

[MrTbone]

Georgetown is 2-18 in the Big East and 7-24. We are certainly better than that.

Uh, no, we’re not. We could barely muster 7 wins in a watered down A10. We aren’t on any bigger conference’s radar.

 

[Not-A-Homer]

16-17 on the year. 49% career winning mark for understudy McGeehan. Sound familiar? Probably just another coincidence or more bad luck.

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

Surprised only a +4.5 dog.

Campbell up 3 midway thru 1st half

Campbell up 3 midway thru 1st half

Yes and the same at HT. Announcer stated Asheville likes to run while Campbell needs to be patient. So far so good and don't even know if Asheville has scored any fast break points.

Campbell up 3 midway thru 1st half

Now up 3 at half

Now up 3 at half

Campbell 54 UNV Asheville 44 with 11 minutes to go

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

The Fighting Camels up by 12 at the 8 minute TO. Kevin coaching the team using a Mooney type game plan to perfectiion.

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

Lead cut to 4 and clutch 3PT made to push it back to 7 with 3 minutes to go.. Let's hope they can hang on!

 

[ur2K]

quite a collapse there, couldn’t get a stop at all in the last few minutes.

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

Tough loss to say the least. Partial collapse but IMO more of Asheville just showing up. Wish I didn't even watch the game now. Nice play set up for Campbell to get open 3 that just didn't fall.

 

[SpiderLaw]

Asheville ends game with 25-7 run and beats Campbell. Their coach took them from 4 wins to championship in 5 years. He is former assistant to Shaka Smart.

To perfection.

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

To perfection.

I didn't want to but had to LOL at this.

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

Had to look up stats and Campbell limited them to 2 FtBrPoints. Shot 38% from deep. Had 14-7 2ndChPoint advantage. Committed only 7 TO. Definitely eye test says they blew this one but played great. Asheville was clutch.

 

[SFspidur]

At least Peter doesn't have to suffer knowing he left after nine years there and they immediately make their first tournament in 31 years.

(He obviously would have been thrilled for them.)

 

[Eight Legger]

That was definitely a Mooneyesque collapse down the stretch. Sheesh.

Mooney’s coaching tree is a weeping willow.

the VCU coaching tree vs the UR coaching tree.

This is a systemic disease we are dealing with here people.

 

[GKiller]

Tough one for McGeehan & Smitty. Those two r very easy to root for. I assume McGeehan is back esp with near miss but going in may have been on hot seat & only has 1 year left on deal.

 

[ur2K]

I was wondering if Smitty was still there and he doesn’t appear to be, but there is a former player on staff … Monty Sanders

Thx I forgot he went to Charlotte.

On top of that the Camels lost their super senior guard who fouled out at end of game and then relied on a freshman to try to close the gap. I think experience was a factor. Campbell Princeton style offense looked pretty good.

To be fair one of the branches of the Shaka tree is heavily diseased (Wade).

 

[Eight Legger]

Christian also got fired by GW last year. Rhoades is sort of the main healthy branch at this point.

 

[8legs1dream]

Well their main trunk seems to be doing fine while ours seems to have been struck by lightning 🤷‍♂️

Bob Richey former target on GK's Richmond HC list going to NCAA. It's a little painful to watch top target Ryan Odom do well at USU. I have some new names too 23. Always gotta be thinking ahead. big hat no cattle Hardt no list. Maybe Paulsen. But I should be quiet so I'm not scolded by "the Petition Guy".

 

[Eight Legger]

How is Richey still at Furman? He would be so good here. Pretty soon he will be at a P5.

 

[SFspidur]

Smitty and the 49ers took home the CBI title last night.

 

[SFspidur]

Extension for Richey. Doesn't mean he won't move on, but I'm sure it'll be pricier for his suitors.
