RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
Well, the bottom 4 teams are going to be easy.... (Upstate, UNF, Stetson, FGCU)

I say Campbell and Gardner Webb fall in at #8 and #7 respectively.

I say Lipscomb falls at #4 out of the remaining 6, and Belmont is either 5th or 6th.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
I bet that FGCU and Stetson arent that easy. Also remember that UNF took the almighty ETSU to the limit last year at UNF. Stetson also is a tough team to sweep. While I dont think that UNF or Upstate have a chance at the top of the league, I wouldnt count Stetson or FGCU out at this point. Stetson returns a very strong team, and FGCU should bring in a pretty good squad from DII if they were able to get them DI eligible.

Belmont finds a way to finish number 2 right behind us.

Yeah we also shot 30% and only scored 56 points. Worst shooting effort for the Bucs in some time. And I hope you dont think it was because of UNF's great defense.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
I understand ETSU... Ohio State shot well below their three point average vs. florida and it had nothing to do with the defense...they were missing wide open looks and it was just an off day for them. In fact if ohio state had shot above 30 percent from three they would have won lol. Golfinger what makes you think belmont will be so great? They lost both of their big men... and i dont think their guards have enough to make up for it.

I am only suggesting that penciling in wins against any team in the conference is a misguided assumption. Sometimes your down game comes against a teams best game ... that might have been what happened against UNF for ya'll last year. I know UNF took Kennesaw to overtime at UNF as well and without Golden's last minute heroics we would have probably lost to them.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
Belmont and Lipscomb are two of the most well coached teams in the conference. Lipscomb will always be good defensively which will keep them in games, and Belmont still has Justin Hare. G-Webb and Campbell will both be really good this year.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
Buccaneerlover is absolutely correct.


Belmont is just smart. The conference isn't just going to roll over them next year. Belmont has never had what I would call talent, what they've got is a bunch of white guys who play with in their limitations and they do it under the watchful eye of that sweater wearing coach who I must begrudgingly admit is the best in the league.

They lose Boomer and Preston...but lets not forget what they are bringing back.


6-9 Keaton Belcher (Byrd will get production out of him)
6-11 Mike Dejworek (I don't know who this guy is)
6-8 Mathew Dotson (a six eight kid that can step out and hit the three)


Plus they have some 6-6 kids who I wont even bother with. They may not have quite the size that they did last year...but they will be right in the heart of it...I guarantee it.

For ETSU fans....I would describe Belmont as being like a really good Citadel team. Not an athlete among them, but they can shoot the three, they play well with each other, and they seem to know how to give ETSU trouble. It seems we've always had more trouble with little teams like that then we have had with big athletic teams.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
Belmont is going to have a lot of trouble winning the conference unless one of their big men becomes a dominant force. This past season if you didnt clamp down on Boomer or the other guy they were pretty much going to score it or draw a foul. Once you clamped down their excellent shooters just knocked down wide open jump shots. In order for Belmont's offensive scheme from last year to work you have to have a dominant (or two) big men. Belmont is going to be good regardless, but they will have to chance up their scheme a bit it seems to make a run at the title...Byrd is a good coach so he should be able to put something together, but usually in system-oriented offenses like Belmont it is somewhat difficult to make adjustments. You almost have to find the players to fit the system...not change the system to fit the players.

Lipscomb will be better than ever in my opinion. Ard is going to win POY, their big men are solid, and there is no easier position to fill than combo guards which is what they lost. Lipscomb will finish in the top 3 guaranteed in my opinion...it depends on if their recruiting class can bring in a big hitter.

We'll see about Belmont, but Ard will not be POY.


And I am assuming that Lipscombs big men who are "solid" are the new comers.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
Belmont will be in the top three, with us and Lipscomb, depending on how the rest of the summer goes. An injury in a pickup game, someone flunking out of summer school, etc... can change an entire team around.
Ard's a good player, but not the POTY.

Seeing that you are all in the northern division I doubt all three of you will finish top three... I am sure a southern team will be among the top lol

Gotta love divisions. We didn't pick them. Plus, Mercer and JU have excellent teams as well. There's pushovers in both divisions and quite honestly, we don't have a clue how the top half of the teams are going to actually perform this year until OOC starts.

Three of the top four teams from last season are in one division, and guess what, they'll dominate the weaker south. I'm not talking about tournament seeding rube, I'm talking about talent. It's going to look really funny when Jacksonville has the only winning record in the south division, and there's four teams in the north that have winning records.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
I love Belmont to death and want to believe in our basketball teams next year, but it's going to be hard. We really don't have a presence in the paint since Boomer and Preston left. J-Hare is returning, along with Dotson, Harris, and Belcher. A lot of new blood will see some playing time this year. It's going to be another good year for basketball. Having the men's and women's tournament together will hopefully draw a bigger crowd. Good luck to all teams next year. It's anyone's game.

RE: Belmont and Lipscomb
The math is simple *******, we had four teams in the A-Sun finish with winning records last season, and three of them will be in one division. The ONLY hope for the south having two teams finishing the regular season with a winning record is Mercer.
