a) I hate Coastal's gym it's about time they upgrade (same for UNCA) b) JP Primm has been with UNCA for 24 years already c) Would like to see UNCA make the NCAA, b/c I like Biedenbach (sp). d) I'll admit VMI is the only team I haven't seen play from Big South this year, wonder how they'll look.
who does everyone want? who does everyone think will win?

I'd like Coastal simply because they have the best chance to do something in the tourney.

What exactly is Coastal going to do in the NCAA tournament with their current roster if they were to make it there? NOTHING!
The lone exception to what they could do is play a game & end up forfeiting their season.. that sounds like good press for the Big South conference- Hey everyone look at this team currently involved in a NCAA investigation.. Well I guess that's something UNCA can't do- you're right!

Uhhh...say what, kingaling?
I, too, like Biedenbach, and I like Mike Gore even more. Ask him to do Dean Smith and you'll see why. One of the really good ones.
Anyway, I haven't seen the conclusion to Coastal's investigation yet, and there are many stories out there, many that dispute the accusations. I won't convict them of any wrongdoing until I've seen this run its course.
In the meantime, I still feel that Coastal has the better team and will do more in the tourney for the Big South. If it comes out that they cheated, then I hope the punishment will prevent them from being in a position to represent the Big South in any sport for years to come, because the accusations are serious. I hope they are proven false....for the conference's sake.

Anyway, I haven't seen the conclusion to Coastal's investigation yet, and there are many stories out there, many that dispute the accusations. I won't convict them of any wrongdoing until I've seen this run its course. I tend to think that there has to be something to the accusations. A player doesn't get suspended for over a handful of games for nothing. I know you guys have dealt with NCAA rulings, and while you may not agree with the rule that got Doumbe in trouble (or the extent of the punishment), at least there is no question that by the rules as they are stated, he did do something 'wrong' (again, it is a stupid rule, but it is there). But how often is a guy sat down this long on purely just an accusation without there being some substance behind it? That's the thing that Coastal fans seem to keep ignoring about this whole investigation. I'm still not even clear on who suspended him...if it was the NCAA, then they must have something on him. If it was Coastal (who did it as a preemptive strike before the NCAA does something), then he had to have done something wrong..because otherwise wouldn't you ride it out, assuming he'd be found 'innocent' and with no punishment? Why would you sit someone this long if you didn't think anything bad was done?

Congrats on the win by UNCA, good luck in the big dance. Coastal back to back years choking away the conference championship on their home floor, I guess a good luck in the NIT is also in order for them as well

you have to pay your own way for the nit, correct? Or is that the CBA?

anyone going to be watching? I caught the second half. Kudos to UNCA. Coastal has a joke of the gym...hope their new facility is ready to go along with their new coach and overhauled roster.

Poor ccu man. You play w fire you get burned. Ellis is a bum, to think he's changed his stripes is naive. I'd cut him slack if this were his first accusation but it follows him wherever he goes.

I would be shocked if he is back next year. Not only are they going down in flames but he's not getting the desired results even with the cheating. Back to back losses in the championship game on your home floor has to be a dagger to the hearts of the fans in Conway.

Ellis didn't get suspended, Greenberg did. I think I read somewhere about "Glass Houses".
