actually they will be selling parts of the floor....for i believe 25 bucks.....

Well let me tell you a bit about Catholic.....Im sure Matt can add to this.....first they are very big and will be able to match-up with Clarkson.....Sowden is 6-8 as well and is very athletic....they also have a number of other big bodies that will be able to help control Clarkson. Dwyer and Fumai from what I hear are really stepping up late in the season. Lastly, they are very well coached, and know how to win big games....that said, I think Salisbury woke up a sleeping giant.....YCP advances to the Sweet 16 this weekend and closes down Wolf in style.....

York vs. York......record wise it looks like a favorable matchup for the Sparts....I think they again are in a nice bracket......would York host the winner of the CUA v. Widener game???

x33 and those  kind of fans just got a little cocky......

I dont think I was ever cocky Matt....when your team beat CUA and Salisbury within the last month by a combined 65 points or so....I dont think it would be unusual for me to think that YCP would ease through the tourney. Im sure Im not the only one who felt that way. But congrats to Salisbury on a great win. YCP layed an egg and from what I heard from numerous people at the game, looked pretty flat for most of the game. Confident yes....cocky no.

cuabigdog,

You are dreaming if you think Catholic is going to come into Wolf and beat York. They showed me a couple weeks ago (when they lost by 30) that they simply dont have the firepower to beat York at Wolf Gym....wont happen...not a chance....York has too many weapons, and is playing the best basketball ive seen them play in the past 2 years!!

YCP- 88
Sal.-70

CUA-66
MWC-63

YCP-76
CUA-59

Does anyone think York will even be challenged this week in Wolf? I really dont think so....the only team that scares me a little is Mary Wash, but I say they win all 3 games by 12+....

WOW, host a regional?? That would be fantastic....I was just telling someone yesterday, that I wish they were in the new building this year, because then it would be certain.....Pat, if YCP wins out and finishes 26-2, and top 5 in country, how good are the chances they will host??......where might they have to travel for this years regional, if its not in York???

Great Job Salisbury.....win against Gally at home on Wed. clinches home court for the Sparts, which means trouble for everyone else....33 maybe 34 in a row to close out Wolf....

Any final from Salisbury??? Did it get postponed??

POY in my opinion is a 3 man race.....in this order at the moment..

1. Chad McGowan ( best player on best team...with good numbers)
2. Justin Baker  (does it all on a very good team)
3. Robert Haney (maybe most talented player in CAC on a much improved Gally team)

I couldnt get it out fast enough!!! Thanks Scott

I think....but not sure...that this is how it would work out....maybe pat or scott could verify this....

If Mary Wash would win out, inlcuding a win over YCP, they would get the #1 seed.

First tiebreaker would be head to head....which would be 1-1
You would then go to the team with the next best record....which would be CUA....both would be 1-1....then Gally both would be 2-0 (If YCP beats them next week)..It would then go to Salisbury.....which Mary Wash would be 2-0 and YCP would be 1-1....thats why it would be really nice for Salisbury to beat Mary Wash on Sat.....I really hope it doesnt come down to that last game at Goolrick....1 of YCPs 2 losses before the Final Four last year came down there.....tough place to win.....that said YCP still has control of their own destiny.....but then again so does Mary Wash...

If Salisbury can knock off Mary Wash on Sat at Sal... and YCP can take care of St. Mary's...YCP would be dormie (Im itching to play some golf) with 2 to play. Salisbury has not been playing very well as of late....however it looked like the they gave Mary Wash a heck of battle at Goolrick earlier this year....Gallaudet scares the living **** out of me....thats a team I wouldnt want to play...

thoughts from last night......

First of all, great environment to play a basketball game, and that's why YCP has been so tough at home over the last 2 years....

Refs were not very good, but bad for both sides....

CUA's guard play was horrible...Satalin, Olivero, Fumai--3-13, 7pts....1 shot for Satalin? I really think it had alot to do with the halfcourt defense of YCP.....CUA didnt have enough playmakers, other than Sowden, (Dwyer at times) to really make a big run....Bench...CUA- 3-13, 7pts....YCP-8-16, 20 pts.....put that to rest.

I took 2 things away from the game last night...

1. CUA doesnt have the firepower to come into to Wolf Gym and win....its that simple. York has too many weapons, and CUA doesnt have enough weapons to beat YCP in York. I really think that place is worth 10-12 points.

2. Chad McGowan was the best player on the floor last night...if he's not the front-runner for POY I dont know who is!! 18pts. in 25 minutes....he took good shots all night and would have scored 20+ easy if he hadnt been in foul trouble....I know people will disagree about him being POY, but he's the best player on the best team in the CAC. I remember Matt Hilleary having very similiar numbers and winning the award, when Andy O' Brien was putting up 23 a game for a second place YCP team a couple years ago....and the argument was that he won the award because of the success of his team....anybody agree?? disagree??

Research in the library today and tomorrow baby!!!!
