January 24th, 1970 vs Valodsta State Blazers (13-5) [4-1]
Conference: Southern
Location: Valdosta, Georgia
1968-69 record: 20-14 (12-4), lost in the 3rd round of the CI.com tournament

Valdosta State is a 34 prestige team, the second highest in our conference right now behind Wofford, and Valdosta might jump ahead of them by next season with the way each school's season is going right now. Valdosta has been excellent the last 20 years, they haven't been under .500 in conference since 1950-51. They've made 3 NCAA tournaments in that span, and have had success. Made the 2nd round two years ago and made it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen in 1955-56. They even made it as an at-large in 1963-64, where they lost in a play-in game.

Their only loss in conference was at home to a very bad UNCG team, Valdosta State had 30 team fouls in that game, and UNCG basically won by hitting a bunch of free throws. But, if they played that game 100 times, I think Valdosta wins 85+ of them.

PG: Cannady, 6'0", Senior: Played 2 games, 30 minutes total last year before going down with an injury. Solid guard, who has shot the ball well this year and is very good from the free throw line. Okay passer, not much defensively.

SG: McLaughlin, 6'5", Senior: Started last year and averaged 12 points a game. Really good outside shooter, who could probably stand to shoot it more. Handles the ball well, and creates for others even though his ratings don't say he should. Good athlete and just barely okay defensively.

SF: Case, 6'5", Freshman: Having a very productive freshman year, and better than his ratings say he should be. Handles the ball, and is aggressive and can do a little bit of everything offensively. Jumps out of the gym, but can't defend.
PF: Pailey, 6'9", Junior: Started last year and averaged 14.8 and 5.5. Down a bit this year, but can certainly score inside, and holds his down defensively and will block a shot or two.

C: Paul, 6'11", Senior: 3 year starter. Averaged 8 and 10 last year. Excellent rebounder, gets 3 offensive boards a game. His offensive has slowly improve and he's now got a nice touch inside and is just .5 points away from averaging a double this season. He's got 8 of them already this season.

Bench: White is a 6'1" guard who started last year as a freshman and scored just under 10 points a game. He's not too far off that average this year but in way fewer minutes. He's a really good shooter, but can't play point, and at his size that has hurt him. But, still a great guard to bring off the bench. John is a 5'9" senior who can really shoot it. Their main post reserve is the 7'1" Tinker who has a lot of offensive talent and not much defensive chops. Another giant, the 6'11", 303 lbs Cole will play 6 minutes a game and be big and maybe score a basket.

Coach: Jason March, 41 years old. 13-5 career record. 1st season at Valdosta State.

A good floor coach, especially defensively. His recruiting and scouting leave a lot to be desired. But, he's inherited enough talent to start and a solid program, so he should probably get off to a good start. He spent 4 years at Auburn and one at UAB as an assistant before snagging the Valdosta job. Could be a quick riser.

Even with their horrible home loss to UNCG, this is easily the most talented team we've faced so far in conference play and one that we might struggle with. Bass is a little banged up, but he'll start at the 4.

The second media time out is at 11:37 and we lead 16-11. Both teams got off to very slow starts, less than 10 points combined more than 5 minutes in. But, soon we started hitting some threes, Bartell has two by himself. McLoughlin is going to have his hands full with keeping Paul off the glass.

Last media time out of the half (sorry for the lack of updates) is at 3:46 in the 1st half and we lead 27-20. Very balanced scoring by us, Bartell, Nason and Bass all have 6 points. Valdosta State is really struggling to score the ball. Our field goal percentage is 33%, same as theirs, despite being 6/11 from three. McLoughlin and Bass now have two fouls, though.

Nason and Bartell go nuts the last few minutes and at half time the score is Appalachian State 40 - Valdosta State 22. Nason has 12 and Bartell 11, and our perimeter guys are tearing them up. We'll slow the pace down some in the second half, since I don't see this maintaining, and I'd like to milk the clock some when we have an 18 point lead against a good team.

It's actually turned into a blowout, with 11:21 left we lead 55-29. Nason has 19 points, Bartell 13. But, it's our zone defense that is stymieing the Blazers and holding them to just 28% from the field.

A foul called at 4:07, right before the last media timeout, and we lead 73-38. Really pretty preposterous. If the reverse were happening to me, I'd be pissed about the game engine screwing me over, so I'll have to keep this in mind the next time I'm getting blown out by a team that shouldn't be. Al the starters are out and the reserves and walk-ons will see some time.

Our backups and walk-ons don't fare too well, though Andy Younger hit a three pointer. Our best win of the year, and it's really not even that close when you look at the quality of opponent and margin of victory. Final score: Appalachian State 78 - Valdosta State 48. Even if we had only won by 1 point, it would have been our best win of the season. We go 14-30 from beyond the arc, and 14 of Nason's 17 shots were three point attempts. McLoughlin and Bass both did a good job inside against the Blazer's Paul. Bracey again did a good job on the glass, with 7 rebounds from the guard position in 14 minutes. I fully expect a total dud of a performance next game out. We're now 11-8 (5-2) and are on a 3 game winning streak and we still have Ramage coming back from injury soon.

Wofford is on a 3 game losing streak, and have only been competitive in one of them. They've got a very young backcourt with SO Patterson (10.6 ppg) and FR Morelock (18 ppg), and neither of them play defense. Both of their post players are in double figures, but my post guys have done a pretty good job this year, and I think Serrano, Nason and Bartell can score on their perimeter players. But, if Morelock gets hot and we shoot poorly like we're very capable, we could easily lose this one.

It was all tied at 9 before back to back to back three point possessions by the Terriers and with 15:50 left, we trial 9-18. Morelock has 8 quick points for Wofford. Serrano leads us with 5.

Media timeout at 10:21 and we trail 22-29. We're just barely hanging in there as we are hitting enough threes to keep it close. Serrano has 7 points, but also 2 fouls, though he's about to come back into the game.

6:55 left, and we trail 33-40. Serrano survived his 3 minutes and is back on the bench for now, he scored 7 points while he was in there though, and I'll be bring him back in a few minutes, even with the two fouls. Patterson and Morelock have combined for 23 points for the Terriers and the two young guards are tearing us up.

I can't look at other team's box scores until after the game is over, so I don't know how many threes that Wofford has it, but it's been a lot. They are at 50% and they are shellacking me. Wofford 59 - Appalachian State 41. Morelock has 23 for the Terriers, and we've done pretty well offensively overall, but our zone defense went from being excellent against Valdosta State to horrible against Wofford. Such is basketball. They've been destroying us on the glass too, which hasn't helped things.

14:46 left in the 1st half, we trail 51-67 and Serrano has 4 fouls now, and 14 points. But, he'll be sitting for the next 5 or 6 minutes. Nason is up to 11, Bartell has 8 points and 5 assists.

Serrano fouls out with 7:50 left, and we trail 63-81. Morelock has just 3 in the second half, it's been Archambault with quite a few baskets in the second half and 16 points and 7 boards total that has done most of the damage for the Terriers in the 2nd half.

One small success on the game, we manage to keep below 100, and we lose by the score of Wofford 99 - Appalachian State 76. The complete inverse of last game, as our zone (and man the few possessions we tried it) was horrible. Their guards tore us to pieces, and while we had an okay game offensively, it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the Terrier swarm. Morelock and Patterson are going to be a problem in a few years, heck they already are.

They are really pretty similar to Wofford, but a bit more experienced. Rutherford has been a great wing man (12.9 ppg) to their stud Matlock (18.0 ppg). Morozov at 7'1" is averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds and McLoughlin will have his hands full yet again, hopefully it goes better than last game.

Chattanooga finally took a loss in conference play, falling on the road to Davidson. Valdosta State up there at 5-2, it's still amazing we beat them so badly.

Ramage could play theoretically, but he's still just barely above the 75% threshold, so hopefully we can hold him back until next week. After the 5'11" Rutherford dunks it on us out of the half court in the first possession, we hit 3 straight from beyond the arc, two by Nason and one by Bass. Samford calls time and we lead 9-2 with 17:56 left.

Samford gets three attempts at a three point shot and finally connects on the 3rd one, and it gives them the lead 15-16 and I call timeout with 10:15. After such a hot start, we've been ice cold from the field the last 5 minutes.

Nason had been sitting the last 3 minutes of our cold spell, came in and of course immediately hits a three and then forces a 5 second violation on the next defensive possession, a rule that no longer exists. He then picks up his 2nd foul not too long after and is back on the bench. Eventually, with 3:20 left, we lead 32-30. Nason has 12 points in 10 minutes, and I'm hoping to keep him on the bench the last bit of the half. Bartell is 7-8 from the line and has 9 points total. Bass played 3 or 4 minutes at SF, some of his first time there all season, that's where the AI would start him if they were in charge.

At half, we trail by the score of Samford 38 - Appalachian State 36. Nason has 12 points in 10 minutes, Bartell has 9 but surprisingly has missed two free throws. Rutherford has 11 for Samford, but Matlock has just 2.

15:13 left, we lead 50-46. Nason has come out hot and has 19, while Serrano and Bartell are both at 9. Morozov is causing us problems inside and the 7'1" big man has 12 points.

McLoughlin gets called for a 3rd foul early in the second half, his 4th with 15:10 and then his 5th when he gets a technical for arguing and he's done.

10:48 left and we lead 57-54. Sanders, Woodworth and Bass make for an undersized frontcourt trio, but hopefully they can hold their own. Bartell has 14 points now.

Last media time out is at 7:01 and we're down 64-66. Nason has 4 fouls now, and is about to come back in after sitting the last 2 or 3 minutes. Bartell is up to 18 points, most of them from the free throw line.

Back to back baskets by the Bulldogs makes me call time out with 3:44 let with our lead cut to 76-73. We went on a great stretch with Nason, Bass and Serrano all scoring. Serrano is up to 16 points, and Bass is just a rebound away from a double double with 10 and 9 and he's played a little bit of center.

Of course the next play, Bass gets called for 3 in the key and we turn it over. We can't score, let up a basket and then Nason gets called for his 5th foul and he's done. Samford makes two free throws and now we trail 76-77 with 2:07 left. Samford's on a 7-0 run.

Bartell gets a bucket the next possession, and then snares the rebound and brings the ball up court and lets it fly from three and nails it to put us up 4. Morozov gets a bucket inside, we trade a couple of misses, then Serrano takes his man baseline and jams it home, I call timeout. We lead 83-79 with 36 seconds left. Serrano is up to 18 points and Bartell is at 25. Bass gets his double-double and has 10 and 10.

For no good reason, we're going to play man this possession. It resulted in a foul on Woodworth on a Morozov attempt. The Russian makes of two from the line and Serrano gets the rebound and fouled with our lead at 3 with 26 seconds left. We are still in the 1 and 1, he hits both. They turn it over and we hit free throws. Then they turn it over AGAIN and we hit free throws. They do hit a three at the buzzer, but all it does is make the final score: Appalachian State 89 - Samford 83. A high scoring affair, with a combined 20 made threes. All 3 of my perimeter players had solid games, even if 14 of Bartell's 27 points were from the line. Nice to get revenge on a team that beat us earlier this season. Up to 12 wins and just two away from guaranteeing a .500 conference record, which would be just the 7th in the last 20 years.

We go 6-3 for the month, the same as our conference record, and given the injury problems we've had this year I'm thrilled with the record. We've had some absolute stinkers offensively, but our defense has been excellent at times or at least the opponent's offenses have been pitiful at times. Serrano, Nason and Bartell are combining for nearly 50 points a game between the three of them, and normally at least one of them plays well, and when all of them do we really can put a hurting on a team. Ramage has missed 6 games, but should be back very soon which will only help down the stretch.

January Recruiting Update

With 5 of our 6 scholarships taken, last month was mainly about scouting big men. I don't really want to add a low level JUCO just fill the scholarship, so I spent most of our budget overseas looking at potential freshman to add. My scout likes Zachary Spencer a post out of the UK, but I'm a little wary of his scouting report on him, plus he's likely to go to Virginia Union. I'll keep scouting, looking for a diamond in the rough. But, it's increasingly likely I'll carry that last scholarship into next season.

Dorsey Bowser is averaging 22.5 points a game and right at 5 three pointers made a game. He's easily the most prolific guard in the conference and he's currently 11th in the nation in scoring. Paz (11.9) is having an okay year, but is prone to having some very low efficiency nights. McKnight (12.6 ppg) has done a good job this year scoring the ball inside and taking some pressure off Bowser. We'll start off in 1-3-1 zone and we won't double to start and just see how it goes.

Emmett14 Rookie OVR: 1 Join Date: Nov 2004	1969-1970 Game 19 January 24th, 1970 vs Valodsta State Blazers (13-5) [4-1] Conference: Southern Location: Valdosta, Georgia 1968-69 record: 20-14 (12-4), lost in the 3rd round of the CI.com tournament Valdosta State is a 34 prestige team, the second highest in our conference right now behind Wofford, and Valdosta might jump ahead of them by next season with the way each school's season is going right now. Valdosta has been excellent the last 20 years, they haven't been under .500 in conference since 1950-51. They've made 3 NCAA tournaments in that span, and have had success. Made the 2nd round two years ago and made it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen in 1955-56. They even made it as an at-large in 1963-64, where they lost in a play-in game.

But, if they played that game 100 times, I think Valdosta wins 85+ of them. PG: Cannady, 6'0", Senior: Played 2 games, 30 minutes total last year before going down with an injury. Solid guard, who has shot the ball well this year and is very good from the free throw line. Okay passer, not much defensively. SG: McLaughlin, 6'5", Senior: Started last year and averaged 12 points a game. Really good outside shooter, who could probably stand to shoot it more. Handles the ball well, and creates for others even though his ratings don't say he should. Good athlete and just barely okay defensively. SF: Case, 6'5", Freshman: Having a very productive freshman year, and better than his ratings say he should be. Handles the ball, and is aggressive and can do a little bit of everything offensively. Jumps out of the gym, but can't defend. PF: Pailey, 6'9", Junior: Started last year and averaged 14.8 and 5.5. Down a bit this year, but can certainly score inside, and holds his down defensively and will block a shot or two. C: Paul, 6'11", Senior: 3 year starter. Averaged 8 and 10 last year. Excellent rebounder, gets 3 offensive boards a game. His offensive has slowly improve and he's now got a nice touch inside and is just .5 points away from averaging a double this season. He's got 8 of them already this season. Bench: White is a 6'1" guard who started last year as a freshman and scored just under 10 points a game. He's not too far off that average this year but in way fewer minutes. He's a really good shooter, but can't play point, and at his size that has hurt him. But, still a great guard to bring off the bench. John is a 5'9" senior who can really shoot it. Their main post reserve is the 7'1" Tinker who has a lot of offensive talent and not much defensive chops. Another giant, the 6'11", 303 lbs Cole will play 6 minutes a game and be big and maybe score a basket. Coach: Jason March, 41 years old. 13-5 career record. 1st season at Valdosta State. A good floor coach, especially defensively. His recruiting and scouting leave a lot to be desired. But, he's inherited enough talent to start and a solid program, so he should probably get off to a good start. He spent 4 years at Auburn and one at UAB as an assistant before snagging the Valdosta job. Could be a quick riser. Even with their horrible home loss to UNCG, this is easily the most talented team we've faced so far in conference play and one that we might struggle with. Bass is a little banged up, but he'll start at the 4.

Emmett14 Rookie OVR: 1 Join Date: Nov 2004	1969-1970 Game 19 Results The second media time out is at 11:37 and we lead 16-11. Both teams got off to very slow starts, less than 10 points combined more than 5 minutes in. But, soon we started hitting some threes, Bartell has two by himself. McLoughlin is going to have his hands full with keeping Paul off the glass. Last media time out of the half (sorry for the lack of updates) is at 3:46 in the 1st half and we lead 27-20. Very balanced scoring by us, Bartell, Nason and Bass all have 6 points. Valdosta State is really struggling to score the ball. Our field goal percentage is 33%, same as theirs, despite being 6/11 from three. McLoughlin and Bass now have two fouls, though. Nason and Bartell go nuts the last few minutes and at half time the score is Appalachian State 40 - Valdosta State 22. Nason has 12 and Bartell 11, and our perimeter guys are tearing them up. We'll slow the pace down some in the second half, since I don't see this maintaining, and I'd like to milk the clock some when we have an 18 point lead against a good team. It's actually turned into a blowout, with 11:21 left we lead 55-29. Nason has 19 points, Bartell 13. But, it's our zone defense that is stymieing the Blazers and holding them to just 28% from the field. A foul called at 4:07, right before the last media timeout, and we lead 73-38. Really pretty preposterous. If the reverse were happening to me, I'd be pissed about the game engine screwing me over, so I'll have to keep this in mind the next time I'm getting blown out by a team that shouldn't be. Al the starters are out and the reserves and walk-ons will see some time. Our backups and walk-ons don't fare too well, though Andy Younger hit a three pointer. Our best win of the year, and it's really not even that close when you look at the quality of opponent and margin of victory. Final score: Appalachian State 78 - Valdosta State 48. Even if we had only won by 1 point, it would have been our best win of the season. We go 14-30 from beyond the arc, and 14 of Nason's 17 shots were three point attempts. McLoughlin and Bass both did a good job inside against the Blazer's Paul. Bracey again did a good job on the glass, with 7 rebounds from the guard position in 14 minutes. I fully expect a total dud of a performance next game out. We're now 11-8 (5-2) and are on a 3 game winning streak and we still have Ramage coming back from injury soon.

Emmett14 Rookie OVR: 1 Join Date: Nov 2004	1969-1970 Game 20 Results It was all tied at 9 before back to back to back three point possessions by the Terriers and with 15:50 left, we trial 9-18. Morelock has 8 quick points for Wofford. Serrano leads us with 5. Media timeout at 10:21 and we trail 22-29. We're just barely hanging in there as we are hitting enough threes to keep it close. Serrano has 7 points, but also 2 fouls, though he's about to come back into the game. 6:55 left, and we trail 33-40. Serrano survived his 3 minutes and is back on the bench for now, he scored 7 points while he was in there though, and I'll be bring him back in a few minutes, even with the two fouls. Patterson and Morelock have combined for 23 points for the Terriers and the two young guards are tearing us up. I can't look at other team's box scores until after the game is over, so I don't know how many threes that Wofford has it, but it's been a lot. They are at 50% and they are shellacking me. Wofford 59 - Appalachian State 41. Morelock has 23 for the Terriers, and we've done pretty well offensively overall, but our zone defense went from being excellent against Valdosta State to horrible against Wofford. Such is basketball. They've been destroying us on the glass too, which hasn't helped things. 14:46 left in the 1st half, we trail 51-67 and Serrano has 4 fouls now, and 14 points. But, he'll be sitting for the next 5 or 6 minutes. Nason is up to 11, Bartell has 8 points and 5 assists. Serrano fouls out with 7:50 left, and we trail 63-81. Morelock has just 3 in the second half, it's been Archambault with quite a few baskets in the second half and 16 points and 7 boards total that has done most of the damage for the Terriers in the 2nd half. One small success on the game, we manage to keep below 100, and we lose by the score of Wofford 99 - Appalachian State 76. The complete inverse of last game, as our zone (and man the few possessions we tried it) was horrible. Their guards tore us to pieces, and while we had an okay game offensively, it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the Terrier swarm. Morelock and Patterson are going to be a problem in a few years, heck they already are.

Emmett14 Rookie OVR: 1 Join Date: Nov 2004	1969-1970 Game 21 Results Ramage could play theoretically, but he's still just barely above the 75% threshold, so hopefully we can hold him back until next week. After the 5'11" Rutherford dunks it on us out of the half court in the first possession, we hit 3 straight from beyond the arc, two by Nason and one by Bass. Samford calls time and we lead 9-2 with 17:56 left. Samford gets three attempts at a three point shot and finally connects on the 3rd one, and it gives them the lead 15-16 and I call timeout with 10:15. After such a hot start, we've been ice cold from the field the last 5 minutes. Nason had been sitting the last 3 minutes of our cold spell, came in and of course immediately hits a three and then forces a 5 second violation on the next defensive possession, a rule that no longer exists. He then picks up his 2nd foul not too long after and is back on the bench. Eventually, with 3:20 left, we lead 32-30. Nason has 12 points in 10 minutes, and I'm hoping to keep him on the bench the last bit of the half. Bartell is 7-8 from the line and has 9 points total. Bass played 3 or 4 minutes at SF, some of his first time there all season, that's where the AI would start him if they were in charge. At half, we trail by the score of Samford 38 - Appalachian State 36. Nason has 12 points in 10 minutes, Bartell has 9 but surprisingly has missed two free throws. Rutherford has 11 for Samford, but Matlock has just 2. 15:13 left, we lead 50-46. Nason has come out hot and has 19, while Serrano and Bartell are both at 9. Morozov is causing us problems inside and the 7'1" big man has 12 points. McLoughlin gets called for a 3rd foul early in the second half, his 4th with 15:10 and then his 5th when he gets a technical for arguing and he's done. 10:48 left and we lead 57-54. Sanders, Woodworth and Bass make for an undersized frontcourt trio, but hopefully they can hold their own. Bartell has 14 points now. Last media time out is at 7:01 and we're down 64-66. Nason has 4 fouls now, and is about to come back in after sitting the last 2 or 3 minutes. Bartell is up to 18 points, most of them from the free throw line. Back to back baskets by the Bulldogs makes me call time out with 3:44 let with our lead cut to 76-73. We went on a great stretch with Nason, Bass and Serrano all scoring. Serrano is up to 16 points, and Bass is just a rebound away from a double double with 10 and 9 and he's played a little bit of center. Of course the next play, Bass gets called for 3 in the key and we turn it over. We can't score, let up a basket and then Nason gets called for his 5th foul and he's done. Samford makes two free throws and now we trail 76-77 with 2:07 left. Samford's on a 7-0 run. Bartell gets a bucket the next possession, and then snares the rebound and brings the ball up court and lets it fly from three and nails it to put us up 4. Morozov gets a bucket inside, we trade a couple of misses, then Serrano takes his man baseline and jams it home, I call timeout. We lead 83-79 with 36 seconds left. Serrano is up to 18 points and Bartell is at 25. Bass gets his double-double and has 10 and 10. For no good reason, we're going to play man this possession. It resulted in a foul on Woodworth on a Morozov attempt. The Russian makes of two from the line and Serrano gets the rebound and fouled with our lead at 3 with 26 seconds left. We are still in the 1 and 1, he hits both. They turn it over and we hit free throws. Then they turn it over AGAIN and we hit free throws. They do hit a three at the buzzer, but all it does is make the final score: Appalachian State 89 - Samford 83. A high scoring affair, with a combined 20 made threes. All 3 of my perimeter players had solid games, even if 14 of Bartell's 27 points were from the line. Nice to get revenge on a team that beat us earlier this season. Up to 12 wins and just two away from guaranteeing a .500 conference record, which would be just the 7th in the last 20 years.
