BBState Stats/Recap


So anyway, right before Thanksgiving, there we were in Harrisonburg, Virginia for two days for another subregional pod of the CBE Classic. So were Bucknell, Princeton, Presbyterian and the home team, James Madison.


And this awesome inflatable mascot.

There was so much that went on, like nearly getting run over in the parking lot by a rival blogger, the invention of the #superhoopland theme park, the Cheese Dip Game (elsewhere, unfortunately), nicknames for non-existent big guys, tantalizing double-line upset possibilities, "Get it, Humpty," Billy Vera and the Beaters, bootleg New Kids on the Block t-shirts, and of course twitpics of my shoes. Oh, and the game when I went crazy from food deprivation and started seeing food everywhere. So, basically, more of the same.


But it was such fun overload that Bally couldn't take it, and he later embarrassed me in a Buffalo Wild Wings. You wouldn't expect anything that size to be able to hold its liquor, and you would be right. At least he doesn't know how to drive. (Yet.) Anyway, four days off from the road, and Happy Holidays Hoops Nation.

16:24 Game 7-012: Bucknell vs. Princeton at CBE Classic, Harrisonburg VA.
16:32 There's some daggum smart kids out there on the court today. #Bucknell #Princeton
16:39 We have finally achieved Full Throttle Internet after tapping furtively on a glass credit card for a few minutes. Bucknell 13, Princeton 8.
16:44 The JMU Convo Center is big, and the wind machines are always on, blowing the banners around. It's like a Janet Jackson video up in here.
16:44 RT @BGMull: @midmajority heading to the 'Dawg Pound' aka Corbett Sports Center, for #UNCW - NC A&T.
16:44 RT @billpotter_hl: For the second time in a week, the @HorzionLeague earns @midmajority's Game! Of! The! Night! honors. This time it's @WSURaiders vs. Oakland.
16:45 Don't know about the "honors" part! :) @billpotter_HL
16:45 RT @HoopTime: Despite crowd of mostly parents, siblings, girlfriends, there is big game feel in the gym due to the presence of @midmajority Kyle Whellison
16:49 Been trying to catch up quality-wise w/ @HoopTime since #S1. The Abe Badmus of indie hoops journalism: always on the grind, silky delivery.
16:50 We are apparently enough of a threat to @HoopTime that he tried to run us over with his SUV in the Convocation Center lot. #donthurtbally
16:51 It's Bucknell 19, Princeton 13 at the 8:26 1H mark. Bison shooting a cool 62.5% from the floor, with two Bryson Johnson #superhoops.
16:53 Worth note that much of the TO music is of the flamboyant disco variety so far. Fight urge to take off shirt and get in the wind machine.
16:58 Dukeolicious. http://img.ly/2uBS
17:03 Princeton's come back from deficits of 9-2 and 24-17 to tie the score at 26. Grinding out each and every. 3:17 left in the first half.
17:23 We've got a second half of basketball coming up here, with Princeton up 30-26.
17:31 #pixelvision starts with P, and so does "pants," and tonight's lineup will knock yours off. 11 games, incl. BU-NEV, ULL-HOU, TSU-SLU.
17:34 Bucknell used up all its shooting mojo early - early 62% mark has shrunk to 44%, and Princeton's been lighting it up from the outside.
17:37 Tigers up 44-36 at 12:53 2H in this quickly-played if not quickly-paced game (only an hour old); have scored 31 of their 44 from perimeter.
17:47 At 9:00 mark, Princeton still up by dub-figures at 52-41. Dan Mavraides with 14, and Doug Davis with 13 (incl. 3-for-3 from #superhoopland)
17:51 When I retire, I'll open a theme park outside Indy: #superhoopland. One "ride" will be a room with a DVD loop of this game. #itsasmallworld
17:53 Another ride in #superhoopland: you get strapped into a ball and shot 26 yards into a giant basket. It simulates The Feeling of a 3-pointer.
17:56 The rollercoaster at #superhoopland is kinda lame; it just goes up and down once, shaped like the 3-point arc. Separate one for women.
17:57 Here in #nonsuperhoopland, it's Princeton 52, Bucknell 46 with five minutes to go. GW Boon has 10 for the Bison: double nickels on the dime.
18:02 And GW Boon with another jumper, and Bucknell is within two at 52-50 (4:33 2H). Paranoid time for Princeton; full time out.
18:08 La Salle on #watch, up by nine on Providence with seven minutes left. We'd be totally okay with this. Watch LIVE on #pixelvision now.
18:10 Princeton has chosen to both buzz AND howl under the influence of heat. With 2:00 left, have cut off the Bucknell threat and now lead 57-50.
18:12 @OregonWBB Thanks; I'm actually a '97 UO grad. Go WBB Ducks!
18:16 OK, so this. Central Ark. (Southland) is beating Champion Baptist (non-D1) 70-13, there's cheese dip, and this graphic. http://is.gd/hFpwA
18:18 And apparently/furthermore, if Central Arkansas scores 100 points, everyone in attendance gets MORE cheese dip. Why are we not at THAT game?
18:20 Here, we have a final. Princeton has defeated Bucknell 66-55. Mavraides and Davis with 16 apiece, GW Boon led Bucknell with 17. End.
18:24 Scoreboard: Central Arkansas 84, Champions Baptist 17 6:55 2H. #cheesedipwatch #hungryforcheesedip #gottahavecheesedip
18:30 CHEESE DIP UPDATE: Central Arkansas 88, Champions Baptist 22 - 3:55 2H. #100 #100 #100 #100

18:38 Cheese dip for everyone! Celebration time, come on! #dip!

Game Tweets: Presbyterian at James Madison


18:49 Game 7-013: Presbyterian at James Madison, CBE Classic subregional. Still clockin' the Hose.
19:00 Presby almost beat Kansas State last week, then turned around and got throttled by Bucknell yesterday. 1-3 on the year.
19:04 Big Rayshawn Goins with an early layup, JMU up 6-4. He is 275 lbs. like I am the Crown Prince of Liechtenstein.
19:07 I've got to say, the JMU pep band really packs a wallop with all that brass. I always forget how good they are. They're good!
19:09 Presby hanging in there early with outside shots, but Julius Wells dropped a #superhoop and the Dukes are back up 13-10 at 14:33 1H.
19:10 RT @billpotter_hl: @WSURaiders out to a quick 6-0 lead in the @midmajority Game! Of! The! Night!
19:12 First MTO: guy gets blindfolded and has to Find The Cheerleader, Crowd boos as he gets farther away. A metaphor for a lot of guys' lives.
19:15 F Al'Lonzo Coleman & G Pierre Miller (jrs.) the basis of first Presby postseason-eligible team in 2012. Both having great games. 19-16 Hose.
19:21 Presby taking it to the hoop without fear of damage to person or pride. It's paying off with a 21-20 lead at the end of the first quarter.
19:23 Al'Lonzo Coleman does a little shoulder/chest shimmy before FT's that calls to mind the "BK" of Antoine Walker, albeit far more effective.
19:26 Jake Troyli #superhoop puts Presby up 26-20, and runs back up the court with a finger shhh. OhHHH so that's how it's going to be! #hosesmac
19:26 RT @WM_VA_Josh: Home from 3 days of funeral-related proceedings-time to focus on good things, like living life, Tribe b-ball & fball, and the @midmajority
19:30 RT @ToddF76: @midmajority Kid just won a month's worth of hoagies during MTO of Penn-Lafayette. Barely missed halfcourt shot to win a year's worth
19:34 Presby's Khalid Mutakabbir with an #omgdunx! Rim-rattler, big boy battler! Rock the rim, in the gym! All the good catch phrases are taken!
19:36 As somebody who once lived on nothing but cheese pizza for a month AM/PM, I'd like to know how many hoagies = one month's worth. #90?
19:39 #important RT @EdXeno: @midmajority Siena vs. Butler "name that steak" was a porterhouse. (cc @bmckim)
19:40 Couple years ago for BB Times. RT @HuhWhatOhOk: @midmajority Have you done a profile of Homer Drew of Valpo? He seems like a calm class act.
19:40 RT @bmckim: @EdXeno @midmajority Siena may not be undefeated at home this year, but I am 2-0 at name that meat.
19:42 Butler is at Siena in a BusterBack. Got some guff in The Form™ about it not being G!O!T!N!, but can't have every Butler game. C'mon dawg.
19:43 Here in the Mountains of Fun, JMU has edged out to a 36-33 lead at halftime. Shooting 54%.
19:45 Bally and I doing a #massive B-Dubs run after this. Here for another day, so if anyone has any Harrisonburg recommendations, could use 'em.
19:47 Ha! RT @TulsaHop I won a year's worth of bottled water during a HT freethrow contest at Tulsa game. Was only 300 bottles. #thirstierthanthat
19:48 RT @billpotter_hl: @WSURaiders & Oakland going back and forth in an entertaining 1st half in the @midmajority Game! Of! The! Night! 38-36, Grizzlies right now.
19:50 Halftime mini-game with ponytailed 11-year-old girls, "Whip My Hair" on the PA. It's just like the video, but without all the paint.
19:56 O25 teams within a basket at halftime tonight: Florida Atlantic (Florida), Robert Morris (Pitt), Morehead State (Ohio State).
19:59 And we're back for the second half. Al'Lonzo Coleman quickly ties up the score at 36 with and and-one.
20:02 Rayshawn Goins, the big barrel, barrels in for two, and JMU is on a flash 7-0 run. 43-36 at 17:52.
20:03 I think there are more nicknames for big guys than there are big guys. Someone should be "The Big Procrastinator." Any other fake nicknames?
20:06 Hey, I've just been informed that we (Presby at JMU, etc.) are on #pixelvision! Tune in and see if you can sneak a peek of the orange guy.
20:07 (He's just to the left of center court, but my big balloon head might be blocking him)
20:08 RT @bubbaprog: @midmajority The Big Red Sequoia. The Monument. The Little Colossus. The 100-Gallon Hat (only applies to Stetson players)
20:08 RT @WM_VA_Josh: @midmajority "The Big Wheezie" For slow big men that can only jog back on D.
20:10 RT @Dobber_BtB_SBN: @midmajority "The Big Gandhi" for a guy who's rail thin and takes it easy on D.
20:13 JMU 14-5 run in progress; will probably go down as the stretch that made the score look bad. 50-41 Dukes.
20:22 I've only had a cold hash brown and a diet Sierra Mist today, so the tweets might get progressively delirious as this game closes.
20:23 James Madison 56, Presby 50. Somebody asked me about "It's T-Shirt Time" used as a PA sound clip before the gun comes out. Just happened.
20:26 Ahhh! I couldn't find the press room! RT @KevinAWarner: @midmajority snacks in the press room might help
20:29 Andre Semenov hit a 3 for JMU, lubricating the soft green puppies of my mind. Dukes 148, Blue Hose $3.32, six gigabytes to go in regulation.
20:31 Awesome RT @midmajority360: http://tmm7.me/4ur [LINK] Massachusetts (SID): Relive The Final 'Rage In The Cage' From 1993 #MASS
20:34 JMU lead into double-figures now, four minutes left. 61-50. Goins 7-for-8 from the floor, 17 pts + 5 reb. The floor is made of french fries.
20:39 Down to a minute to go, 61-53 JMU, and Presby has toweled it, not fouling. Two remarkably short games: four hours, incl. the 30 min break.
20:41 0:25.3 2H, 63-56 home team. The seats of JMU's Convo Center are made of lickable mustard.
20:45 JMU's Humpty Hitchens dribbles the clock out, and the final is 65-56. Four Dukes in double-figures, shot 54%. Coleman with 15 for Presby.
20:48 Good Night Tasty Purple Jackalopes.

16:23 Game 7-014: Princeton vs. Presbyterian, CBE Classic at Harrisonburg, VA. The MADhouse is where the 6th Man Lives.
16:24 For reasons we are only beginning to understand, we are sitting courtside at yet another Division I college basketball game. #thankful
16:34 Chama-lama-ding-dong! Silverswords pass Black and Red Lines to beat Oklahoma 68-64. Still need a name for that, keep 'em coming.
16:37 Here in a slightly colder climate, Princeton is up 11-7 on Presby at MTO #1. Tigers have hit four of first seven shots.
16:38 RT @bluefishskip: @midmajority The Maui Line, The Silversword
16:38 RT @rushthecourt: @midmajority Chaminade over Oklahoma = double black line upset?
16:42 RT @TypoDC: @midmajority I rather liked the "SUPER black line upset" you used for Indy over Tenn earlier, personally.
16:42 RT @maxwasserman: @midmajority The double yellow line, surely.
16:42 RT @jscottfitzwater: @midmajority Ralph Sampson Special.
16:42 RT @MichaelHadley3: @midmajority Titanium Line Upset. It's super hard to penetrate and when it happens there's some major problems.
16:42 RT @patrickbmurray: @midmajority Silver Line Upset? International Date Line Upset?
16:42 RT @MattZemek_CFN: @midmajority: Sea level. #Duh #Islands #ThatsHowTheyRoll #NotaMockeryOfaTravestyofaCHAM #GiveThemTheNADE #RhymesWithAWED
16:44 I've decided that Presby's Al'Lonzo Coleman is The Depth Charge. 6-6, disappears down the baseline into the tangle then explodes for layups.
16:45 Presbyterian up 16-12 at the end of the first quarter. Coleman with six.
16:46 I see what you did there. RT @maxwasserman: @midmajority Is Our Lady of the Lake's school fight song "Whatever Happened to My Part?"
16:48 Blue Hose have a little swagger. Last year of reclassification, but they're going to be a load in the Big South next season. Mark it down.
16:51 18-18 tie at MTO 3. With the "Blue Hose" in D1, it can't be long until there's a team called the Pants. That's what *I'm* waiting for.
16:54 Douglas Davis is 3-for-4 from #superhoopland so far for Princeton. HE is good at the #superhoop. Tied at 21.
16:54 Dude. Just had a little flashback there. RT @ChrisForman12: @MidMajority The super-duper Cornucopia of Colors Line
16:55 Speaking of which... RT @solidblue94: @midmajority Double Rainbow Upset! Great to see but what does it really mean?
16:56 RT @ni3t: @midmajority Milan Miracle.
16:58 Same thing. [straight face] RT @laplanck: @midmajority If the men's team is the Blue Hose , it makes me wonder what the women may go by.
17:01 Presbyterian jumps out to a small lead, Princeton reels 'em in. Rinse, lather, etcetera. 30-27 Hose with two minutes left in 1H.
17:05 Think it was 2 yrs ago, we were there @ Cameron when Presby opened the season in CvC. Crazies waving dollar bills. #slidingscaleofclassiness
17:06 The first half is in the books, but there IS NO BOOK FOR THIS. Excuse me, did I just blow your mind? PC 35, Princeton 33.
17:19 Great to have you along! RT @darbs831: Now following @midmajority. Great reference by America's favorite SID @chrisforman12!
17:26 We are back for more hoop action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 exclamation mark for every Princeton and Presby basket (16 each). 40-39 Tigers, 16:32 2H.
17:37 46-42 PRIN at 11:36 2H. Full disclosure: I am using the breaks in play to change a plane ticket. This will not be a good weekend to fly.
17:40 When *is*, or when *has*. #TMMssssecrets RT @dhm: When is @midmajority going to drop acid before he tweets from a game?
17:43 RT @ksvoboda: @midmajority planes, trains and automobiles is a classic
17:48 RT @jtanHC: @midmajority How's Hummer looking in Year 2 of his time at PRIN? He came into the program with a little bit of buzz, right?
17:48 Hummer's getting a lot more playing time, and he's making about 60% of his shots. 7-for-10 today for 16 pts. 57-51 Pres at 7:10 2H.
17:50 You know it's the holidays when... This is one of four D1 games going on now, and very lite schedule tonight.
17:51 And you really know it's the holidays when there's only one game on #pixelvision. It's the Wichita game out in Maui.
17:56 Presby really taking it to the hoop well against the Princeton D. Forwards shooting 22-for-33. Three to go in this one, 64-59 Bluhoz.
18:01 Princeton comeback! Scored five straight points to tie it, and it's 64-up with 1:20 to go. Ian Hummer's 10-for-13 with 24 now, so credit.
18:03 I just heard a modem handshake here on press row. It made me feel young.
18:05 Just a few years ago, when the wireless would go down, the #cool writers didn't panic. "I'VE got a phone cord and an Earthlink account."
18:06 Douglas Davis with a Princeton #superhoop, and the Tigers are up 67-66 on Presbyterian with 23 ticks left! #EXPLOSIVE
18:08 Coleman with the response! Another layup by the Depth Charge! 2 seconds left, Presby up 68-67 and going to the line! #BOOOOM
18:09 Presby 69, Prin 67, 02.4. Josh Johnson misses the first FT for Pres, and makes the second for some reason. #thezoubekrule
18:10 So out of a Princeton time out, the Tigers take it the length of the floor with a plan. And K. Maddox took a shot from the Hayward Spot.
18:11 And missed, wide left. Final from Harrisonburg: Presbyterian 69, Princeton 67.
18:14 In 43 minutes and 24/23/22/21 seconds, we'll have another game! More games! Yay! Basketball.

18:15 We know most of you are traveling (do so safely), but we will try to entertain anybody with a handheld Robot device during JMU-Bucknell.
18:30 No band tonight. There are about 50 people here, and half of them are staring at my shoes.
18:31 You misoverestimate me. RT @albolte: @midmajority You'll never make the six...
18:33 Game 7-015: Bucknell at JMU. Look at my shoes. Now look at the stuffed basketball. Now back to my shoes.
18:34 Sealed w/ a semi-reflective composite. #thanksnike RT @HoopTime: @midmajority they do catch the eye. Must be hard work keeping them so white
18:35 Oh this is different. RT @sevenandsevens: @midmajority But according to Shawshank's Andy Dufresne, "how often do you look at a man's shoes?"

18:53 I do not intend this to be #caahoops #smac, but I want the Duke Dog's suit (not the head) to use as full-body pajamas. Looks so comfy.
19:01 And we're underway in Game 15 of the season. Devon Moore gets things going for JMU with a #superhoop.
19:11 JMU leads 13-6. True fact: James Madison's family tree does not include Ashley Madison, a frequent advertiser during CBB radio broadcasts.
19:13 Andre Semenov drains a #superhoop, and runs back down the floor holding up three fingers. #swaggasmac JMU 20-14 11:59 1H.
19:14 RT @BGMull: A #superhoop is a 3-pointer, in case anyone was wondering.
19:22 Bucknell on a run, keyed by Mike Muscala (3/5, 6 pts)... have tied the score at 25 as we enter the second quarter of this game.
19:27 People luv that distinctive seven star design. #S7 #kixx http://img.ly/2uZp
19:31 Shoe twitpix are not to say that this game is out of hand. Quite opposite: 32-30 BUCK at 4:22 1H. Goins with 12 for JMU, Muscala up to 9.
19:36 There are three levels of blowout at TMM: 1) Horchata Song, 2) Shoe twitpics, and 3) New York Ranger hockey score updates.
19:58 And we're back! JMU moving right to left across the timeline, up 37-34 as play resumes. Best/only JMU #smac chant so far: "You wear orange."
20:01 Julius Wells with a basket for JMU, and that's his 1000th point. Standing ovation. People are happy about sports!
20:01 RT @HoopTime: and the chant @midmajority mentions is by about 2 people, in response to a spirited "U wear purple" by handful BU fans behind Bison bench
20:03 Humpty Hitchens with a #superhoop that puts JMU up 47-40 at the 16:16 mark. I'd been looking forward to calling his name, and there it is.
20:07 48-45 JMU 14:01. So the JMU band is off for Thanksgiving break, but all the cheerleaders are here. While that's great and all, unfair much?
20:12 True fact: "Get it, Humpty" is a much better chant than "You wear orange."
20:13 More people are in this building than are on Twitter right now. Not by much, though. #about500
20:17 Ironic pop culture thing that's over before it began: dudes snappn-durr-nex to "Whip My Hair." #goesdoubleformalecheerleaders

20:24 Twitter is so dead that #whereiseveryone should go TT. I could confess to the JonBenet murder and nobody would notice.
20:26 And yes, VCU is close vs. Tennessee in 2H. There's a buzz on the row. Game was just picked up by #pixelvision too.
20:30 RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: Yeah but Freddie Mercury is trending. I'm going to TT #NaturalSelection, #DocHollywood & #DecadeofDecadence, see what happens.
20:30 I think it would only take about five people to start a TT. #horchata4mids, this is our chance!
20:33 Just for fun, I'm going to TT #quarterflash, #kajagoogoo, #billyveraandthebeaters, and #squarebiz. I could probably do all four by myself.
20:36 2:23 left, and JMU is up 75-62. Semenov's 3-finger post-#superhoop salute apparently a trademark. He's Russian, thankfully, and not Serbian.

20:39 Do. Not. Tempt. RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: You need to put an At This Moment button on MM. Or at least post the Family Ties episode.
20:40 Since nobody's on Twitter and embarrassment is impossible, I had a copy of "By Request... The Best of Billy Vera & The Beaters." #oncassette
20:41 That album really redefined "Best Of." By that logic, every new band's first album is a "Best Of."
20:43 RT @jscottfitzwater: @midmajority If I had a band, I would name my first album "Best of."
20:44 A minute left to play here in Harrisonburg, and it's JMU 84, Bucknell 72. And finally, after three days, they play "The Humpty Dance."
20:45 This is as good a time to remind everybody that 2Pac was a backup dancer for the Digital Underground. Still can't get past that. #rip
20:45 RT @racheldulitz: @midmajority now that's a good theme. I owned (and wore) a New Kids On the Block sweatshirt. #ThanksgivingEveConfessions
20:46 OK, @racheldulitz has done it now. I once owned a bootleg NKOTB t-shirt (ironic) with all the song names spelled wrong. "Haggin Tuff," etc.
20:47 So if you have a #ThanksgivingEveConfession worse than that, let it fly.
20:49 RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: Do whatcha like.
20:51 Thankfully, a final here at JMU. The home team prevails, 85-75 over Bucknell. Goins 21/Semenov 20 for Dukes, Muscala 21 for Bison.
20:54 So ends four days of the 2010 College Basketball Experience Classic at two sites. It was the former, maybe not the latter.

20:58 We hope your Thanksgiving is really awesome. We'll meet back up for the chat on Friday (4pm) live from the Palestra. Just getting started.
20:59 Drive safe, eat well, don't get in the body scanner, and Happy Thanksgiving Hoops Nation. -30-
21:01 RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: PS: Don't listen to any NKOTB on the way home.
