     As previously stated above, the Ft. Benning (3-1) v Ft. Campbell (3-1) matchup was a rematch of last years ECF Championship game which came down to the final shot. They seemed to have picked up where they left off. New Year, Same teams as they both split their games vs each other and both welcomed SCMB (0-4) into the conference, by both dropping L's on them on both days. 
     Though SCMB went 0-4 this weekend they found out how valuable bench play can be and what the grind of military basketball is.  SCMB only traveled with only 6 players to Ga to play their inaugural games. This included their coach Vince Williams, who had to log some court time to get SCMB through the weekend. We look forward to see what unfolds the rest of the season when SCMB plays host in February and JB McGuire-Dix joins the mix as they come knocking playing their 1st MBA games next month.
