[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I will do my best to keep you updated... but it will be easier if you keep the scoreboard page up and constantly refresh it.

Right now: 18-10 13:31 Marymount lead

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Sorry - mistype... 12-10 Marymount with 12:42 remaining the 1st half now... timeout Marymount

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

23-23 7:23 left... Marymount is playing very physical... but sloppy. Goucher is agressive and it's paying off... they were down about 8-0 to start and have taken the lead a couple of times.

Up and down the court game... but Marymount is not playing very disaplined.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

34-29 MU at the Half

Lots of Player Control fouls being called... and correctly. Offensive guys on both teams are a little out of control and pushing off a lot. Despite what the fans here think... I think the game is being called pretty well... not perfectly of course... but not bad.

Both teams not playing very good basketball... but everyone is fighting for everything.

dmac,
It seems like a Goucher MU macth up, Physical and the teams are having trouble playing their games. Close one in bmore

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

MuMu... exactly right. Neither team is playing good basketball... both are physical and flying on defense (though both are playing zone mainly)... and it is close. Goucher went to a full court press... Satins have not handled it... tied at 40 with 16:30 to go.

By the way... both Corey Diamond and Fred Stanback picked up their fourth personal fouls early in the second.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Saints have made a run.,... thanks in part to very sloppy and uninspiring play on the part of the Gophers.

Saints now have a 55-46 lead with 8:25 2nd.

Also... Kyle O'Connor now has picked up his fourth.

But players like Ellis and Prewitt are picking up the slack for the Saints right now.

[Matt Letourneau]

WAY TO GO CARDINALS!!!
Yes! That's a great win.  Balanced attack--Wheeler's 18, Fumai's 19 (mostly from the line).

Congratulations to Scott for scoring his 1,000 point.  When you consider he didn't play his freshman year, that's even more impessive.

Yes, Gamber has done a good job at York, and Dickman, of course at Hood--but isn't Steve Howes getting overlooked here?  Sure, everybody is used to Catholic being at the top of the conference, but if you think its easy taking over for Mike Lonergan, you're crazy--especially when you do it way late in the recruiting year and consequently have zero new players your first year in.  Yes, Catholic has a solid group of Lonergan-era seniors,  but they developed under Howes and they are NOT winning games on their own.  The younger players are stepping up and augmenting.

There's been very little drop off since Mike left--and that's a huge credit to Howes.  He deserves a CAC COY award before he leaves the conference.  I could be wrong on this, but I believe he'll have the best 3 year record of ANY coach EVER in the CAC.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

63-56 MU with 2:53 left in the 2nd

Goucher is trying to claw it's way back. Russo has hit a couple of three's here... but the Saints are getting second chances on the offensive side and taking advantage of those opportunities.

Should say Mike Gray is playing well inside tonight as well.

Could be a very tight finish.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

64-61 MU with 1:21 remaining

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Diamond hits a three-pointer in the corner with just under a minute remaining.

Merritt gets a rebound and basket for Goucher on the other end...

67-64 MU with 0:44.9 remaining - timeout Goucher... Saints possession under the Goucher basket.

[MuMu]

wow great game to be at. Diamond is playing really with one leg. he has so much heart

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Stanback hits 1 of 2 free throws.

Then Standford drives the lane for Goucher and scores...

68-65 MU with 25.6 seconds remaining... Goucher calls their last timeout.

[MuMu]

My year we lost every close one hopefully not this year come on saintsss
