Wow, Dave, what a promotion!

I think the purpose of this board is for anybody to post their opinion, regardless of how misguided it might be, however they wish to share their thoughts.

There is no rule that says that d3hoops.com "employees," or people who work tangentially around the site, cannot post their own opinions.

Even if D-mac did vote for the top 25, there is no reason he can't rip Catholic all day and praise Goucher all night.

Allfirst, there may be no official rule, but there are such things as professionalism and ethics which apparently don't apply to this chat board as I have been smited with a negative karma for having questioned it.

Catholic 80 Goucher 79.
Scott Fumai led Catholic with 27 points on 6 3s.  He was 8-13FG (6-11 3pt.).  Shane Sowden scored the first 4 points of the game for Catholic to become the 34th member of Catholic's 1,000 point club.  He finished with 14 and 9 rebounds.  
Goucher led at half 36-35.  Catholic came out in the second half and built a 14 point lead with 5:21 remaining.  Goucher started a barrage of desperation 3s to make it exciting in the end.  Each team made 13 3s for the game with Catholic shooting 13-29 and Goucher shooting 13-28.  James Russo led all scorers with 28 and 8 rebounds.  Jonathan Garritt scored 27 on 9-22 shooting.
Catholic is now 16-6 (8-4 CAC) and will travel to Salisbury on Wednesday.

I have never posted editorials on this board, but I would like to say to Pat and D-Mac that as a  representative and for all intents and purposes, an "employee" of d3hoops.com, D-Mac's posts are usually inappropriately biased against Catholic.

I'm sure Goucher is the best 1-20 team in the country and that is great, but why do you continually take a jab at Catholic?

I'm not sure whether or not D-Mac  has a vote in the Top 25, but I certainly hope you don't.

If I am incorrect, and D-Mac is not a representative of d3hoops.com, then I apologize.  You can say anything you like, but from an outsiders view it appears as though D-Mac is the #2 man at d3hoops.com

Satalin's 22 Points, Career-High Eight Rebounds
Rallies Catholic Past McDaniel, 72--55

   WASHINGTON (December 19, 2005) -- Senior Pat Satalin scored 14 of his 22 points in the second half and grabbed a career-high eight rebounds to lift Catholic University to a 72-55 victory over McDaniel College at DuFour Center on Monday.

   Satalin hit three 3-pointers during a key 14-1 run after halftime to put the Cardinals (7-2) on top, 46-40, with 11:52 to play. McDaniel (4-5), which led the entire first half, got no closer than five points the rest of the way.

   Josh McKay led the Green Terror with 22 points and six rebounds. Mike Dipiero scored 11 points, and Ryan Finch had eight rebounds.

   Patrick Dwyer totaled 18 points and a game-high nine rebounds for CUA, and Shane Sowden had 10 points, eight boards and two blocks. Dwyer scored 12 points after the break as the Cardinals erased a 29-28 halftime deficit by outscoring McDaniel 44-26 in the final 20 minutes.

   Satalin finished 6-for-11 on 3-pointers and 8 of 14 overall. He was 4 of 7 from beyond the arc in the second half. Fellow guard Mike Wasilenko contributed a game-high five assists.

   McKay, a 6-foot-8 senior center, made 7 of 14 field goals and both of his treys. Jemar Daniel's jumper with 5:09 left in the opening half gave the Green Terror their biggest lead of the game, 27-17. CUA responded with an 11-2 run that Satalin punctuated with a 3-pointer to draw the Cards within one at the break.

DAVIDSON, N.C. -- For the second straight game, Davidson led from wire-to-wire, defeating Catholic University on Saturday evening at Belk Arena, 80-56. Senior Brendan Winters posted a team-high 16 points to surpass 1,500 in his career and lead Davidson to its 12th straight home win while improving to 5-2 on the season. The Cardinals, ranked 25th in the preseason Division III polls, dropped to 6-2.

Winters, the reigning Southern Conference Player of the Year, hit 4-of-11 shots from the floor as well as all six foul shots to tally his 16 points. He now has 1,509 points in his career, moving into ninth place on Davidson's all-time list, ahead of former NBA player Brandon Williams ' 96.

The Wildcat defense was dominant in the opening stanza, holding Catholic to just 4-of-25 (.160) from the floor, including 0-of-9 on three-point attempts. The Cardinals did hold their own on the boards, hauling in 20 off the glass to 19 for Davidson.

While Catholic was struggling to find its stroke, the Wildcats also started slowly, connecting on just three of their first 12 shots, yet still led eight minutes into the game, 11-5. But Davidson went on to hit six of its next seven shots, which began a 12-0 run as the 'Cats built a 30-11 lead. Senior Ian Johnson canned his second of two three-pointers to culminate the run.

After the Johnson three, Davidson went scoreless for more than four minutes while the Cardinals drained six free throws. The Wildcats finished the half with buckets by Johnson and Jason Morton to take a 34-17 lead into the locker room.

Davidson gradually extended its lead in the second half, with Johnson knocking down a jumper with 11:14 left for a 52-32 lead. The Wildcat lead never dropped below 20 again and grew to as many as 31 as head coach Bob McKillop cleared his bench. Both teams shot 50 percent from the floor and from downtown over the final 20 minutes. Davidson finished the game with a slight rebounding edge, 37-35, and handed out 22 assists on its 26 field goals.

Johnson was the only other Wildcat in double figures with 14 points, 10 coming in the first half. Sophomore Thomas Sander came off the bench to snare a team-high seven rebounds, and senior point guard Kenny Grant dished off six assists.

Davidson entered the week sixth in the country in fewest turnovers per game, but its 12 in the game was just over its season average of 10.7 per game. Catholic, meanwhile, turned the ball over 19 times.

The Wildcats drilled 10-of-23 (.435) three-pointers, just the second time this season they have scored at least 10 in a game. And their season-low 75 percent from the foul line (18-of-24) knocks them from the top spot in the country for free throw percentage, which had been .844.

Center Shane Sowden starred for Catholic, scoring a game-high 19 points on 6-of-8 from the floor and 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. No other Cardinal managed to tally more than seven points as the squad shot just 33.3 percent (17-of-51) on its field goals.

Davidson returns to the court following the completion of first-semester exams on Dec. 15 when it hosts another Division III opponent, St. Mary's (Md.), at 7 p.m. Catholic will host McDaniel on Dec. 19 at 7 p.m.

STEVENSON, MD-- Shane Sowden scored 18 points and was one rebound shy of a double-double as CUA earned a crucial road win over Villa Julie, 67-59.

Sowden led CUA (6-1) with four blocked shots, increasing his Capital Athletic Conference-leading total to 16 for the season, and led the Cards with nine rebounds.

Scott Fumai added 14 points and Pat Satalin 13 for the Cardinals (6-1), who used a late 15-2 run to turn a five-point deficit into a 61-53 lead with 1:54 to play.

Anthony Fitzgerald scored a game-high 20 points and secured nine rebounds for Villa Julie (5-2). Catholic improved to 8-0 all-time against the Mustangs.

Villa Julie led 51-46 with 9:07 to play on a Phillip Williams' layup. Sowden scored six points during the ensuing 15-2 run and Satalin five. Satalin's 3-pointer made it 59-53 at the 3:24 mark and Sowden punctuated the flurry with a slam dunk off a Mike Wasilenko feed.

Satalin hit all eight of his free throws to remain perfect on the season, including two with 27.7 seconds left to boost the Cards' lead to 65-59.

WASHINGTON, — Despite a 33-point halftime lead, Catholic University Coach Steve Howes exhorted his team to play the second half like the score was tied. The No. 19 Cardinals responded in a 91-52 romp over Marymount University in Capital Athletic Conference action at DuFour Center on Saturday.

Pat Satalin totaled 18 points and five assists to lead CUA. Scott Fumai added 14 points, and Shane Sowden 12. Patrick Dwyer contributed 10 points and eight rebounds, and Stephen Wheeler had eight points and eight boards off the bench.

The Cardinals (5-1, 1-1 CAC) put the memory of their 87-73 Wednesday loss at the University Mary Washington behind them quickly by jumping to a 27-8 lead on a Satalin 3-pointer with 11:42 to go in the first half. Fumai, who hit 4 of 6 3-pointers, nailed two on consecutive possessions to put the Cards on top, 39-16.

Trailing 51-18 at halftime, the Saints (2-4, 0-2) scored the first 14 points of the second half to cut the Cardinal lead to 51-32. CUA didn't get on the board until Steven Papageorge hit a free throw with 13:39 to play. That began a 24-6 spurt that put the Cardinals in total control, 76-38, at the 7:26 mark. Sowden, who had six rebounds, a block and a steal, punctuated the run with a three-point play.

Freshman reserve guard Nick Olivero, a starting safety on the CUA football team, hit two 3-pointers and grabbed two rebounds in six minutes of action. Andrew Baker had eight points and four rebounds.

Corey Diamond led Marymount with eight points and four rebounds. Bryant Majors and Pooyan Rahimi had seven points each. The Saints made just 7 of 28 (25 percent) first-half field goals, while the Cardinals were 19 of 36 (52.8 percent). CUA outscored Marymount 40-34 after halftime.

The Cardinals play at Villa Julie College in Stevenson, Md., on Dec. 8 at 8 p.m.

NOTE – Patrick Dwyer's grandfather, Bob Dwyer, celebrated his 90th birthday at the game. The elder Dwyer coached some of the greatest teams in the Washington area at nearby Carroll High School.
