Oh yeah, the game starts at 1 pm EST which mean its on right now.

The Panters are going for their 4th National Champion, Coach Dave Robbins is going for win #669, and they're on a 13-game win streak (30-3)! I wonder why no other bigger Black Colleges have tried to steal him by now...dude is seriously underated. Let's go, VUU! :ebrow:

Big ups to Earl "The Pearl" Monrone for showing up and shedding some light on the history of CIAA and Black College b-ball.

They've cut the lead down to 9 at Halftime b/c of the zone. They need to cut down on the turnovers, blocked shots and guarding the 3.

Most HBCU's are scared to think OUTSIDE the box when it comes to football and basketball. IF he were BLACK aint no way in hell he would still be at VUU. He has accomplished more in HBCU basketball than ANY basketball coach has.

Yeah, I was about to mentioned Big House. Coach Robbins just has more National Titles than Big House.

BTW, VUU lost by 12. Good showing and great season, though. Also, big ups to Shaw University's women's team...they lost in the Elite 8 the other night by a point, I believe.

...Carry On..

I am aware of Big House Gains.... but its hard to compare the two eras.... When Big House coached the HBCU's were getting the best BLACK talent... its not the same now..... plus he coached almost 50 years so of course he is going to have the most wins.... Robbins is winning in an era where HBCU's arent getting the best Black talent and has more NCAA championships than Big House.
 
Dont get me wrong, Dave Robbins is a great coach... As one who worked in the CIAA for a number of years, and even worked for "Chief" (Big House) for a few years before he was FORCED out... It aint even close as to the comparisons... Big House is LEGENDARY.... RIP Chief..

From what I have researched, scene on tape, interviewed, and heard. I agree wholeheartedly, not even a close race.
 
I was at the game!!!


Virginia Union definitely didn't play their style of basketball! :mad:

They would NOT clog the middle every time Winona drove in...it was ridiculous!
They left #23 open all game long, and he was KILLING them with 3's!


And with all of that...VUU STILL should've won the game! :smh:
They made Winona State look a lot better than they really were...


:topic:

It WAS enjoyable to watch some HBCU Sports waaay up here, though! :D
