The coaches see the players play and aren't affected by glorified stats.

Not every coach is in agreement on who should be on which team. Seretti mentioned Killing as being deserving of All-American several times in his postgame news conference on Friday night. Now, I don't think he'll get it, but just know that "the coaches' opinion" is hardly uniform.

Don't you think it's a little odd that he is being "discussed" as an All American but not first team all league?

Congrats to Dickinson for a great year! Amazingly they were in last place just a few years ago...Also, congrats to Honig, Wixted and Killing for all region. Killing 2nd team all mid Atlantic region but only second team all conference. We need to stop allowing coaches to select all cc because it seems they base their votes on something else besides a players performance on the court..

It is a complete joke that a player who scored the MOST points and dished out the MOST assists is on the second team!

I got the green terror on Wed. The gill center is gonna be rocking!

First off Swat Dad don't go anywhere.. being apart of the league for 8 years your son was a hell of a player and represented what d3 basketball is all about.

Random Thoughts:

Very impressed in wixted the other night as he AND the red devils got over the hump of playing well and winning vs the mules in the barn. FYI Killing had 17 pts shooting 50 percent from the field with 9 assists and zero TOs vs the best team in the league...so selfish...

With the way the seedings are I think it is going to be really tough for the the red devils to win the CC championship....BC fnm and mules have underachieved all season they will have to play one of them in the semi finals and the other in the championship game. Mcdaniel having a great year also didn't help the red devils. The red devils had zero problems with them all year and probably would rather play them in the semifinals.


Any arguments that Curley is the coach of the year?

First Team All CC
Killing
Honig
Hammer
Moune
Wixted

I think thats pretty set in stone...thoughts?

Can we stop talking about how great ursinus is...They went to the final four in 2008...6 seasons ago and since then they have only been to the playoffs ONCE and that was a playoff game lost at home to the Mules.

For all you Ursinus and Dickinson fans coach McClary and killing combine to be 9-2 vs you guys. Trash all them all you want but at the end of the day it's just fear. Killing is the player of the year BC there isn't a player that other coaches prepare for more. Give both the respect that is due and wait until Muhlenberg doesn't succeed this year to trash a 21 year old kid.

Hard to say a kid that finished 7th last season and is currently 6th in assists in the conference (one less game played) is selfish.

F&M in my mind is in MAJOR trouble if Moune can't return... last night wasn't even against the Bigs that they will face in the playoffs (wixted, collins, hargrove, hunter, bovino, pupelis, and the 17 bigs at JHU). If he doesn't return they are going to be the 5th seed and be one and done. Sad to see it happen when he is having a terrific season.

As we are in the last month of the season here are my end of the season awards. Let me hear your thoughts as I am sure some of you FnM and Ursinus guys won't agree

1st team
Killing
Honig
Hammer
Wixted
Salandra

2nd team
Porter
Morgan
Moune
Cohen
Hargrove

Player of the Year- Killing
Rookie of the Year - Kiefer
Coach of the Year- Kevin Curley

I like your thoughts CCD3basketball...

I smell a HUGE upset tomorrow with WAC over Dick. Also, I do believe FnM will win but remember Swat beat them last year (could be closer than everyone thought.) Gettysburg has to win or it is over...this is a must win game and I am interested to see how the freshman will play in a pressure game... Mcdaniel (a team I predict to make the playoffs this year) will struggle tomorrow in the Mule Barn (I heard Jay Bilas and the crew will be there for College Gameday). Just too big of a stage for this team, look for a monster game from Hargrove... especially if Pupelis is still sidelined. Of course JHU will bounce back strong vs Haverford.

After watching the entire Mule Dickinson game...every coach will be so dumb not to name Killing Player of the Year (well at least first team for once!)...12 for 19 tonight for 35 points (3rd straight game with over 30 points AND shooting over 50 percent from the field in all 3 games) on the road. Btw look at wixted stats tonight and also his stats vs hargrove the past 3 times. Wixted is an excellent player but Hargrove has his number. Exciting game... definitely the 2 best teams in the league and looking forward to them to matchup again and probably a 3rd time. In my mind Dickinson is the best team in the league but I would not want to match up against Muhlenbergs talent in the playoffs...

After seeing the Mules / Bears game last night....

Coach Small has completely given up... He decided to NOT guard the best scorer in the conference...Killing had 28 in the first half. Then in the second half he decides to make NO adjustments. Killing did a great job of getting his teammates involved in the second half (Stavetski, Hargrove) It is embarrassing how much bad Ursinus is on defense.

VERY impressed with MCD winning on the road without Pupelis... that makes that 6 road wins in the conference in a row...I am a believer!!!

Can't wait the stretch run

I predict tonight will turn this conference upside down and have everyone wondering who is going to win this league....


Muhlenberg @ Ursinus:   Mules by 38 pts. Just look how killing and hargrove traditionally do against the bears.

McDaniel @ Gettysburg:   McDaniel in an ugly game. First team to 50 points wins. Green Terror are for real. Only a few wins away from being the best team in school history.

Washington @ Johns Hopkins:   Washington

Swarthmore @ Haverford:   Haverford

Dickinson @ F&M:  In the dip zone, they have some revenge after last years CC finals. F&M by double digits...

Safe Travels...best time of the year in the CC

Mid Season Thoughts:

Dickinson- Very impressed in their conference play but even more impressed with how they have played outside the conference. Would love to see them ranked top 25 this week.
F&M- Nervous to say the team is back with all the roster changes and it's tough for me to believe in a team without a PG especially when they have to beat PG's like Killing and Honig. If they win Tuesday in Allentown, that will prove ALOT.
Muhlenberg- The team with the most talent from top to bottom. Need to see it more consistently. Hargrove always seems to play better second semester. Even though the Red Devils seem to be the class of the conference, the mules have beat them the last 4 out of 5 games with a sweep last year when the Devils won the league.
JHU- Will finish in the 2/3 game. There difficult schedule will help them down the stretch. Burgarinovic needs to raise his game for them to fight for hosting the tourney (the only way I see them beating the Mules or Red Devils)
McDaniel-I am not surprised with the play from the terror but will be surprised once they start winning away from Westminster. @Swat next...trap game??? Pupelis is tough matchup in this league
Gettysburg- Love the productive from their freshman class but seems like that's all they have. What is going on with Emerusabe?
Washington- Been very impressed with Morgan. Just don't think they have enough to win on the road but watch out if you still have "@Washington" on your schedule
Haverford- Don't sleep on the Fords as they are going to have some big wins in the second half of the year that will turn some heads.
Swat - It is amazing how much the coach can't figure out who the best players are on his own team after 2 years.
Ursinus - At the point it is painful to look at the box scores...shows you how fast a program can fall with players being selfish.
