CUA Fans,

Sorry I didn't see this in time for us to vote, but there's an online special on the Wash. Post website that is ranking the greatest local college teams of all time, (in NCAA bracket fashion) and they included the 2001 Cards in a "play-in" game.  Pretty nice of them to consider CUA, considering 1) the competition, and 2) the lack of coverage CUA usually gets from the Post.  There's a little piece on the team included under "more" (link below, and flash player required, I think):

Alright, can somebody refresh me? I was at the Brockport game in the blizzard the next day but not the Widener game.  What exactly happened?

first half as DeLuca hit 3-of-4 from the foul line following a series of four technical fouls, three being issued against Catholic and one against Widener.

...actually I had forgotten about the Rice technical.  What I do remember (hopefully close to correctly, age is creeping up), is the way Maloney managed to have 4 fouls on him with 12 minutes left in the 1st half.  Maloney picked up 1 foul early.  Then, as CUGRAD stated, Morley charged, but the ref/scorer booked it (apparently) as Maloney.  The announcer called it on Morley.  No one said a word, until a minute or so later, when Maloney picked up what seemed to be his second foul.  When the P.A announcer said it was his third, CUA's bench tried to correct them.  However, at that point CUA's bench found out that the prior foul had been booked as Maloney's .  That's when the verbal barrage started, with Maloney picking up a T (and consequently his 4th personal), along with CUA's bench.  That resulted in CUA being down 14 with 12 to go before half (and the CUA contingent having 1 member removed :)).  The amazing thing is, Maloney stayed in the game, and helped trigger the comeback (most memorably with a great pass for a Hartmann layup at the first half buzzer that cut the lead to 7.)

Sorry if this sounds like another CUA fan griping.  Just wanted to share memories, since they were asked for earlier.  If its any consolation, I agree with CUGRAD that with the exception of that game, the NCAA tournament officiating that I've seen has been outstanding...

Cards, good luck tomorrow evening in your game against Widener! Remember, if you play hard, good things will happen!!

GO CARDS!!!

Does anybody remember the NCAA tournament game when Catholic played at Widener during their National Championship season? That was an interesting game.   

CUGRAD,

Definitely remember that game.  Wonder if that ref will be carrying cooking utensils with him this weekend?

Thanks, Pat.  Missed the footnote.

If I'm reading the projections right, and they hold up, CUA fans will need to get plane tickets to see them again this year  >:( (unless of course, they get to Salem  :))...
