To all you CUA fans who went to the Gally @ CUA game and denied the notion that CUA students had put up obnoxious signs...

FYI, on HBOSports tonight, James Brown stated that he himself had seen the "win or lose, we can still hear" sign.

Just wanted to toss that in.

BisonKiller, I agree with you- thereiis' comments today were pretty much basically a cheapshot at not only CUA but the CAC as well. But aside from that controversy, I gotta admit, I'm taken aback by your lackadaisical comeback. Although quite pugilistic and a little bit belligerent, your comebacks usually have more spiz-azz to them.

Btw, didn't you say earlier today you weren't going to post any more? And just as I was getting ready to rejoice at the fact that you would finally stop trying to rain shame down on the Bison with your pessimistic anecdotes...

BUT, as my man Gandhi once said-- "One cannot shake hands with a clenched fist." So, lets all try n get along with one another here on the greatest board in DIII Ball.  

Go YORK and CUA, represent the CAC to the max!

Bisonpride (or anyone else from Gally) & D-Mac:
Any thoughts on Widener?  They played Gally and Goucher this year, and beat both relatively narrowly.  Looks like Gally in particular gave them quite a game.   I know they've got one big guy who's a monster, but I'm hoping that Shane/Pat Dwyer can hold him in check.

Speaking of Dwyer, congratulations to his first team All CAC selection.  I'm glad the coaches took into account the depth Catholic has.  He deserved that honor.  I would have picked DiStephano and Mowls myself as COY and ROY.  Haney, not so much, but I can't argue too much.  I think he ended a little weaker because of injury.  But his numbers were there, I suppose. 

Interestingly, only 3 of the 10 players selected are seniors.

M.L.-

Widener has a monster of a big guy, Kris Clarkson. At 6'8'', #21's been leading the team in both Rebounding and Scoring for the vast majority of the team's matches through this year. A second key factor in Widener's offensive game is Essien Ford (6'3 combo guard) and as for rebounding, Catholic must do a good job of keeping sleeper Malcolm Thomas, #32 6'4 PF, off the glass as well.

It'll be a good game between CUA and Widener. For CUA to win, they absolutely have to keep at the physical play underneath (meaning keep Clarkson and Thomas off the glass), and play solid team D (Clarkson inside, Ford on the perimeter) for the full 40 minutes. Another thing--It'll have to be a "personal challenge" kind of day for CUA's big guys to keep up with the Widener post players' athletic ability--

My prediction? CUA wins by 4, #14 has a monster game from the perimeter (5+ from the distance) and Shane/Dwyer have a career day of "D" and Rebounding.
