In a way doesn't this run by St Mary's show the depth of the CAC.  Maybe York did deserve a bid after all!!!

I have

York by 15
Mary Wash by 4
St Mary's in OT
and Hood gets upended by Marymount

Andy O'Brien was a better shorter.  He would shoot the lights out of the gym.   The one thing he doesn't have is the intangibles.  Granted Chad had more talent around him but when he became "the man" he took over games and put the team on his back.   Chad has won 3 regular season championships which is more impressive then winning the tournament championships. 

They are two different players which makes it tough to decide who is better.

It's very close.

Even if York lost in the conference final they wouldnt have a chance at a bid?  That would give them a 20 win season.

I agree with YCP.  I haven't seen nearly as many games but this is not the same team that stepped onto the floor against Wesley.  The talent that has surrounded Chad has really helped him.  He has better looks because the players around him can get it done.

One last question for the message board.  Will Chad go down as the best player of all time or York history?  3 CAC regular season crowns in 4 years.  I wasn' t around pre 2003 so I do not know to much history. 

York wins 84-74

a game much closer then the final score.  It was 81-56 when York pulled back.  Chad has reached the 1850 point total.  With 7 possible games to go the CAC record and school record are in jeopardy.

Keep it going York
10-2 in conf

York leading 61-47 with 13 to play, Chad has taken over

York a 10 point win over Villa Julie and the Mary Wash blowout of Hood sets the showdown for Saturday afternoon at Mary Wash.  The blowout over Hood makes this a two team race for the one seed in the conference.  A win by either team the inside track on home court which would be huge. 

York continues to play well as McGowan paces this team to get this team to a 3rd championship in 4 years.  McGowan is quickly going down as the BEST player the CAC has ever seen

Thanks Scott for the information. 

They have 7 regular season games and maybe 3 more games in the CAC tournament.  McGowan could very well break it during the CAC final.  It probably would have been a lock if McGowan would have played those first two games of this season

Anyway enough about individual, it seems as though York has a big week.  If they can go into Mary Wash on Saturday I think they would seperate themselves as a slight favorite going into the 2nd half of the conf. schedule.  That being said, it seems more wide open then it has been in recent years. 

I think you will see Hood start to become a middle of the rung team in the league. 

It's nice to see York playing well.  I havent been at a game all year due to many things (not a student anymore) and a lot of travel but what happened to Hood's big man?  Is he out for the year?  Does that make York the favorite?

Anyway nice to see the conference board is still strong. 

YCP- What are the chances McGowan breaks the school record for points?  I believe its 2001 total points by Andy O'Brien

Let's Go York

It is nice to see old foes changing roles.

Hopefully Catholic continues to struggle, at York we are loving it.

York with a nice win against Mary Wash to get to 2-1 in the conference.  They get Salisbury on Saturday to finish the first portion of the schedule.  They should get to 3-1 in conf and headed in the right direction.  The time off should get there players healthy and make there run for the conference in January. 

York and Hood are still the best two teams and expect both teams to contend for the CAC Championship. 

With Chad, Pat Kelley, Brady, Levi, and Nate they have a great starting five.  If they can get the bench going consistently they will be very scary.

Let's get this board going, it has been very quiet since we lost Goucher and Catholic

York falls to Hood 74-68

Very tight the whole way....York falls to 2-3 and below 500 for the first time in I believe 3 years (03-04).   The York starting 5 is prolly the best in the conference but where is the bench?  2 bench points against Hood is not going to cut it.  You can not have your starting 5 playin 30-35 minutes a night, this league is too deep.  Luckily its early and I think York is still finding there identity.  Hood came in and played well and looks as if they will be at the top of the conference this year.  Levi Winters looked great (first time I have seen him).  He adds a different dimension to this team. 

To all of the York Faithful, let's show some enthusium.  Where is the crowd that was there the last 2 years?  Did they all graduate?  Those two guys in the front who used to lead the cheers were great.  We need them back...If anyone knows them please tell them to get to the games. 

Anyway LEt's Go York and pick up a win on Thursday!

I have not been home in a while.  Can someone update me on why Chad McGowan did not play the two opening games?

YCP,

I agree with you completely.  My only issue with them is winning conference road  games.  They were great at home last year but can they continue that success thise year.  I think the conf. is deep despite the departure of Catholic.  I would like to see how York deals with there depth this year and the Chad situation. 

We all make preseason predictions but they are never right so we will see what happens...looking forward to opening day.

Well another basketball season is upon us...Who are the top 3.  It's gotta be York, Hood, and Mary Wash.  So long to Catholic and Goucher, welcome Welsey and Villa Julie.  Should be a great year of basketball.  Pending how the Chad situation works out, it should be the year of the Chad.

My preseason picks.
1. York
2. Hood
3. Mary Wash
4. Salisbury
5. Villa Julie
6. St. Mary's
7. Wesley
8. Marymount
9. Galludet
