always good to have more college dynasties!!!! Good Luck
thanks for the comment man! I appreciate it.. The first few games were played the other day when I was still up in the air on whether I wanted to do this or not so thats why not much of a recap. The rest will have more of a style of recap the last game had depending on how much time I want to devote to this..
Agreed, it is nice to see another CH2K8 dynasty here. Good luck, I'll be checking in for sure.
unfortunetly my 2k8 was lifted from me without my knowledge so I had to take it back a year earlier with 2k7.. I was going to try to get a new 2k8 so I can use last years rosters, by my gamestop doesnt have it anymore and the only ones I found on ebay or amazon were ridiculously priced (like as much as a brand new game if not more, most likely because its discontinued ) so not much else I could do but load up 2k7 and give that a whirl.

Key Notes:
~ After our Keydets exploded with points this was a much lower scoring defensive battle. Where we were hitting our threes last game against Howard, they just weren't falling today against Army.
~ Reggie Williams struggled pretty much all game, but our center Matt Murrerr kept us in the game early scoring all his points to keep up with the Black Knights, until the second half when Chavis Holmes and Levar Joseph our 1-2 punch in the back court went off and kept us in the game.
~ Without Josephs back to back three pointers late in the game we would have never went into overtime, and after he hit his second three with 20 seconds left, we had to play lock down defense to keep Army from ending it there. Williams came through with great defense and was all over Brown who was 10-11 before that shot and was by far the Knights best player.
~ In overtime it was all the Keydets though, taking leads of 6 and 8 points late, keeping Army at bay and getting their second win of the year. Brown finally was shut down in the 5 minute overtime period and the Knights were nothing without his offense.

Key Notes:
~ It was a very slow start for VMI today, starting out with Cornell taking a 10-0 run, it looked gloomy early in the William & Mary Tournament for the beloved Keydets. The Cornell big man were just over powering our small lineup and doing what they wanted to against us.
~ After early substitions our bench held Cornell off keeping the defecit from enhancing, and after a strong pep talk by Coach Reeseman to the starters, they went out there with a fire lit under them, a steal and a transition dunk by Chavis Holmes started the run, and then back to back threes by Levar Joseph, we began to figure out their 3-2 zone defense and Joseph was finding the holes leading to a quick 8 points for him after starting out 0-3 not being able to hit anything
~ They Keydets closed out the half strong only down 23-20, after giving a quick 10 points to open the game, closing on a 20-13 run isn't half bad.
~ The second half started much like the first, as Cornell built their lead right back up going on a 12-2 run as their 3-2 zone defense was just to much for VMI. Shooting a mere 35% from the field it wasn't that they were unable to get open looks it was more that we were just unable to knock them down. Definitely a very frustrating game, one we could have easily won. We did make a run late in the second half, but as it always it, too little too late, cutting the lead to 7 with 40 seconds left was to much to overcome.
Hopefully you do better in the Big South than I've managed to do thus far. Good luck with VMI!
assuming you're referring to Radford? Someone I use to play basketball with back in the day went there and played for them awhile back, I believe he tore his acl or something and didnt end up playing anymore for them.
