MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[kiltedbryan]

You have to have schools that accept the mid-level students around. It IS elitist to bemoan that they're in D3, when they are as much of D3 as Bates or Wisconsin - River Falls.

My post never mentioned athletic divisions.  It was strictly a comment on the admissions requirements at Cabrini.  If it's true that their average incoming student has an SAT score (verbal and math) of 935, I find that amazing. I mean, half of the student body is then below that number.  Why, Sarah Palin would have been a catch for them.

I find it ironic that these statements conflate the term "average" with "median."

Poetic license; allowing Cabrini students to follow along.

And, actually, SAT scores for Cabrini students would (I would guess) have a positive skew (400 is the minimum - I would assume there are few if any below 700, but surely there are at least a handful with 1400+); if so, a mean of 935 would indicate a median even lower than that.

But the more important point is that there IS an important role for schools whose mission is to accept less academically talented students and give them a good education - which would appear to be the case if it is true that 97% of recent graduates are in grad school or employed.  The world needs Cabrinis as well as MITs.

How about this article/column or whatever you call it from a local writer from Cabrini's part of Pa. He was so fired up he has Wooster losing to four times in the last 10 games instead of three.

Unnecessary. Go to D3academics.com with that crap.

Thanks for the laugh seinfeld!   

Guess this guy, in his lame attempt to prove Cabrini worthy of hosting, also failed to mention that Wooster also SWEPT the regular season series from OWU.  Oh, and that's great and all that Cabrini is on such an impressive streak, but the reality is, who is that streak against?  Oh, that's right.  It's ALL against a weak CSAC.  Wonder what Wooster's record would have been in the CSAC or whether we'd see Cabrini reel off 13 straight in the NCAC?   

Oh and one more thing?  That writer might want to look up regional rankings while he's at it when questioning why Wooster is hosting over Cabrini this weekend or why Cabrini  is making their 3rd straight road trip.  Wooster was #1 in the GL's final public rankings and we've come to find out was #1 in the secret rankings as well.  Where was Cabrini ranked in the final public rankings of the Mid-Atlantic Region?  What?  They weren't even ranked?     That might help answer some of his questions!

The Hoopsville guys discuss the Wooster-Cabrini game at about the 1:05 mark in Thursday's show.

Actually, wooboo's usage is correct here. Average can mean median, according to Webster. It will only sometimes mean mean.

Definition of AVERAGE

1
a : a single value (as a mean, mode, or median) that summarizes or represents the general significance of a set of unequal values

This Cabrini coach rubs me the wrong way, telling the media that it "will be sweet revenge" in reference to playing Wooster. If there is one game that I wish we could win-besides all of them- this is the one.

I don't really see anything wrong with the Cabrini coach.  He had nothing but good things to say about Wooster after they got handled the last time they came to Wooster.  He's a good young coach as evidenced by his impressive record he's already compiled at Cabrini including this, the Cavs 3rd straight appearance in the Sweet 16 and coming off of a national runner-up finish last year.

Once you get to the Stretch Internet page for the Wooster video, it claims there are no current events.  I really hope they get this fixed before the game starts.

Now they have it, two minutes before game time.

Is anybody having issues with the sound?

[woosterbooster]

I'm having issues with the whole thing.  MCTV is completely bush league.  Buffering, then stopping completely.  Then jumping ahead a few minutes in the broadcast, missing all of Wooster's comeback from down nine to down one.

I pay these clowns $160 a month.  That's going to end on Monday.

Cabrini 70, Wooster 63.

Congrats to Cabrini - they certainly earned the trip to Salem with three straight tough road wins in the tournament.

Wish I could've seen it; Wooster's feed didn't work at all in the second half for me, so I just gave up on that. Luckily, a great WQKT radio broadcast as normal.

Good luck to Cabrini in the rest of the tournament!
