Up next for Gallaudet Bison would be on December 27, at Medgar Evers College (0-7), and December 29, at City College of New York (0-8). Both teams are combinated for 0-15 record, so look for GU to win both cupcake games easily in the state of New York to improve it's record from 5-2 to 7-2.

Geez, another cupcake teams...  You know I was doing the total records of teams Gallaudet beat. Teams Gallaudet beat has a combined record of 8 wins 47 losses. Now another cupcakes in NY with a combined record of 0 wins and 15 losses.  Add that to overall record after Gallaudet will cruise to 7 wins- 8 wins/62losses.

The "cupcakes" on Gallaudet's schedule have been there before Coach Barber got there.. Look at their schedules in the archives of D3hoops.. They go back to 2002, where Maryland Bible appears. To 2003 where Christendom appears. Coach Destefano started those relationships, Coach Barber just continued them. Also, the CAC isn't less competitive. St. Mary's may be the favorite right now, but everyone on here has been saying anything can happen. We have arguably 2 All-American guys in Griffin(St. Mary's) and Johnson(Wesley). Thats not less competition. Thats more competitive balance.

I got to disagree with ya. Not only Gallaudet played MD Bible and Christendom.  Mary Washington played Christendom several times and Goucher played MD Bible during Coach D's coaching career...  Bisonpride was referring to this year's schedule compared to the past.  This year, they got Christendom twice, played MD Bible in Gally Holiday tournament and will play them again.  Johnson Bible, Medgar Evers, CCNY.  Coach D faced tougher non-conference teams than this year's cupcake teams.  Personally, it's nice to see a record 4-1 at this point with a loss by only 5 points.

As for CAC, it's always the same regardless with or without Catholic and Goucher.  There'll always be a CAC team ranked in the top 25 every year or so.  York is one of the most consistent winning teams. I just hope others follow in their steps since Catholic and Goucher left.  Would like to see at least 2 CAC teams in the NCAA Div 3 tournament every year.

Marymount 84 Gallaudet 79

Exciting game to watch.  Both teams are pretty athletic which is why Gallaudet was in the game.  However, I see that Gallaudet live and die with the 3s.  Their 3s kept them in the game.  They cannot afford to have any mental collapses.  One thing I can say is Gallaudet is definitely better than last year.  With Sekoe White coming back and the new additional of Tony Tatum, I don't see them finishing last in the CAC. They can win.

They need to work on the game situations when they're down 3-4 with less 5 min left to play.  I'm pointing to their mental mistakes when they continue to rebound from their own misses and continue to shoot 3s. Hope they can improve that area.  Good luck on the next game...

Definately congratulations to Galluadett for winning the tournament, and their 4-0 start. Congrats to Sekoe too, he is having a great season and really helping galluadett. Only thing is they may be 4-0, but the combianed records of the 4 teams are 4-16. 3 wins coming from Christiendem. Definately great confidence builder to start 4-0, but i really want to see how they handle Marymount...if they do...then I'm close to being a believer.

I'm with you. They almost never had a 4-0 start in years and congrats to them. I'm quite surprised how they set their tournament with Penn State-Berk, MD Bible knowing for a fact they had a big fat chance to win it all.  I remember Coach DeStefano setting up tougher opponents likes of Widener, Averett, Philly Pharmacy,  some of the NY teams to get them prepared for the CAC. I'll be at the Gally/Marymount game this Wednesday and bringing a recruit w/ me to watch.
