The lady Gryphons were steady and prevailed last night over the Lady Firebirds of Southern Nash.
The Ladies play tonight at 6.00pm against Fike who upset Southwest Edgecombe on their home court.
In the second game tonight Rocky Mount will try to upend Nash Central for the second straight Friday night.
Both Fike ladies and Rocky Mount boys are trying to win the conference tournament as #3 seeded teams and in doing so try to capture the #2 seeding from the conference in the playoffs.
The big difference in a #2 or #3 seed is a home game in the opening sectional game over being on the road as a #3 seed.
If the lady Gryphons win the conference tournament it will be win #20 on the season.
Wednesday night after game press conference Roy Williams blurted out a vulgarity in which both the Tarheel and Wolfpack sports networks were carrying live.
I don't understand why the ACC has not suspended Williams for at least one game for the over the air ways blurt.
Anyone who has ever been within ear shot of most college coaches knows that "amen" and "praise the lord" is not the normal speach while on the sidelines. Most of Roy williams salary is paid through radio shows before and after games and Weekly TV shows so he knew he was live on the air somewhere.
In NASCAR drivers have been fined $25,000 for cussing after interviews. Since the ACC is not responsible for a coaches salary they are the governing body of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
I say Roy needs to sit out one game.
I did play by play for Chowan College for 13 years and Bob Burke was famous for his tirates on the sidelines. A Baptist college and Bob Burke didn't seem to fit. I think that is one reason he was never hired as a D-1 coach. If Burke had of had a losing record he would have been replaced in a flash.
In all the before and after game radio interviews he never let one slip
Thanks Bob.
Duke tried Jon Schyer at point guard last night in a non conference win against St Johns. Bobby knight the color TV analyst justed loved the moved.
I see it only makes Duke slower. For some reason Coach K thinks the guards are their problem but I think it's big men inside defensive player is killing them.
I will blog again after I get back from the B-Ball tournament tonight around 10.30 with the results.
