if anyone had any luck getting the video stream to play, let me know...i'd like to watch the finals, but i couldn't get it to play the stream...it launched quick time and just said "live broadcast" with no sound or video

I tried to watch it in the overtimes and it was a constant flicker, like I was watching a newsreel. A click of static every half-second or so. I had to tune away.

this is all a continuation on the Blasingame discussion, just didn't want to quote four pages worth of dialog. Two questions:

1) I thought conference awards are based on conference-only stats. Does anyone know if this is correct?

2) Are All-Conference selections made by position? In other words; if the top 5 players were point guards, would they name them the first team?

SU97,

I look at it this way...I have a Masters from W&M (so I'm not as dumb as I appear on this board)....if you take my HS transcript, SAT scores, and all the other stuff as if I was coming straight out of high school - I don't get in to CNU this year!
You say that as if your masters from W&M makes you smart!
You're killing me. All that tells me is that you paid more for your Masters than I did for mine from Oklahoma. besides, I've met you... nuff said.

And whoever said Dante' wasn't a big loss to CNU... you lost some credability on that statement fella!

somebody posted that losing Donte wolsnot have a huge impact...i'm too lazy to scroll back thru pages....not sure who it was...

OU has masters programs? dang...i always knew it was a decent community college...but masters....

not necessarily...i think both overall and conference only numbers are shared for each player, though

ac selections are not made by position

if the d3hoops projections hold true, averett will have a tough 1st round opponent in catholic...we'll see in a few hours!

CNU85 · February 25, 2007, 10:16:22 PM

i hope au is fired up and goes far......not sure they will though....the conference just seems to be weak this year....or maybe just had an off year.

SU97 · February 25, 2007, 10:48:08 PM

Good to see the VA/NC area represented with some at-large bids: Va Wesleyan and Guilford.

And a late congrats to AU for winning the conference tourney, best of luck in the NCAA's!

Brackets are posted: Averett plays Virginia Wesleyan at VWC in the first round.

Also from the ODAC, Guilford plays Manhattanville at Johns Hopkins and Hampden-Sydney plays Hood at VWC.

AU against Virgina Wesleyan. Very winnable AU could make it to the Elite 8. (I believe the same for CNU women. It depends on which Mary Washington shows up.)

Guilford got lucky...being sent "out-of-region"!

Good luck!

I agree. I'll have to do some research on Manhattanville, but I'm not unhappy with this draw and location.

I think my home state is represented well (MD). With two AQ and one pool C team. The reason I bring that up is well Guilford as a chance to play them. Don't know much about who they play first but I think Guilford could find some trouble up there. Nova if you aren't busy head up there. JHU has a nice campus in one of worst parts of town. It should be a nice vacation.

3 out of 9 d3 schools in MD are represented. There is some good talent up that way. Not great but good.

Yep, Hood, Villa Julie and JHU are all Maryland-based schools. I know GC has played Villa Julie in men's basketball before, but Manhattanville is Guilford's opponent on Friday. The Valiants are from Purchase, NY, right outside NYC. Actually, I've been to Baltimore a couple of times and I've also been on the Johns Hopkins campus. Since I work full-time, I guess I'll be "busy" on Friday, so I'll have to settle for an internet broadcast (at least I hope it'll be broadcast!).

Speaking of Hood. Hood to be where they are now is incredible. I know I in Fall of 04' was the first year of admitting men to Hood. I know the coaches up there are using that as a recruiting tool. Its still 71% women at the school. Hey If I were a coach. I would tell them there are plenty of young ladies here.

CNU85 · February 26, 2007, 02:51:37 PM

although it would be nice to see AU take to VWC, I don't think it'll happen. VWC will be at home, they will be mad about the ODAC tourney and they want revenge for the loss earlier in the year. They will come out fired up and I predict a blowout......

I hope I'm wrong...but that's how I see it.
