MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[muchacho]

It looks like a pretty decent showing by Catholic last night. It was nice to see the new SID get the boxscore up on Catholic's website. Just from looking at that, it looks like Catholic would have been in it if they had shot better than 1-10 from the 3 point line. That isn't typical of a Catholic team.

I wonder if that will be the lineup Coach Howes goes with to start the season.  He gave Kelly the start at point as a senior, even though Wasilenko has been starting in previous years. It didn't look like Papageorge contributed much as a starter, but none of the stats from the bench guys looked impressive either. Looking forward to the season getting started.


Any other teams have results from an exhibition game or two?

YPSI:

RESEARCH.

YOUR INFO IS ON THE SITE.

LOOK AT IT BEFORE YOU POST NEXT TIME.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPA ... oh wait, different all-caps messages

Pat, as far as I can find scrolling through the board, the last time I posted here was, approximately, never.  SO WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?

Your question was so inane I took it down.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Pat,

I'm totally at sea as to what question (given some of the others on the overall site) would have been SO inane as to prompt that response.  Do you recall what it was?

Granted, most of the other 'dumb' questions are by 'rookies', and you SHOULD hold a long-timer to a higher standard - but I honestly cannot recall what I could have asked that set you off.  Not being argumentative (for a change ), just curious.

Feel free to respond here or privately.

Anyone on here know if the new gym at YCP will be ready for the home opener?

[Dan Johnson]

As has been covered in earlier posts...York's new gym will not be ready until next season.

I don't remember either, but it was so inane I pulled it so that it wouldn't infect other people.

[Mr. Ypsi]

OK, I concede!  It was inane enough that I have NO clue what it was!

But if NO one can recall what it was, where's the guarantee I won't ask it again?!

Results from St. Marys scrimmage:

St. Mary's- 69
Florida International- 72

Seahawks showed well in thier first exhibition game of the season against a much bigger and stronger FIU team.  Seahawks were led by newcomers Tyson Lesesne and Spencer Way III, both played extremely well.  Sophomore guard TJ Jordan also played well on both sides of the ball.  St. Marys had a chance down by three with 2 seconds to go but were unable to get a good look at the basket.

FIU is a DII school I think. Anybody know about this for sure?

[seahawks]

FIU is a division I team in the Sun Belt conference.  Pre season picked to finish second in the east division.  Teams on their schedule this year include notre dame, michigan state, and George washington.

That's an impressive showing for St. Mary's! Anybody else scrimmage?

CUA starts their season for real next Friday against Salve-Regina in the Hampton Inn Classic.  Does anyone know anything about this team or this tournament?

I don't know any of the names.

[muchacho]

Google found me this page about the Hampton Inn Classic.

Catholic opens up with Salve Regina. Tournament host Mass-Dartmouth plays Fort Kent...a Maine school that is Division II NAIA.

[Matt Letourneau]

Hmm.
Well I hope CUA plays UMass-Dartmouth on Day 2 then, otherwise that game isn't going to count for anything.

[mlb]

I am curious to see what kind of talent these teams bring to the table.  It's hard to tell if you don't play any of the competition or know of them or their conferences.

Salve-Regina was an "under .500" club last year, as was U-Mass Dartmouth.  Fort Kent - Maine is a D-II school that was also around .500.  That means nothing if the competition was better.

It looks like CUA is the "biggest" team size-wise of the group, but the other teams may be quicker and apply more defensive pressure.  It's just weird knowing so little about an upcoming opponent.

If anyone has any first hand insight, I would be interested.
