MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[CCHoopster]

Dave:

How far down does that drop Wesley in RR's?

Probably 1 spot to 3rd, after Mary Washington. We'll see what happens Saturday for the official RRs next Wednesday.

Messiah and Wesley certainly did not help themselves. Wesley was solidified as #1 or 2 and MEssiah with their SOS and win% was ahead of the second tier pack (Dickinson, Scranton, McDaniel) in the RR's. Messiah probably gets dinged pretty good for Lycoming loss and Wesley goes to #3. However, I wouldn't say Messiah is clearly behind Scranton, Dickinson and McDaniel. I believe their SOS #'s will be better than those 3 and their win % will be the same or maybe better. Should really be interesting. Certainly tightens things up from 4-9 in the RR. No more slip ups for Wesley and Mary Wash and Cabrini can not have a night like Wesley did last night. Landmark, Centennial and CSAC are just not even close to the depth as the CAC then MAC Commonwealth.

Sorry, ignore this, this should have been posted in the Mid Atlantic Chat.

Yeah, I watched the Wesley-York game and Wesley definitely did not show up to play whatsoever.  There was a marked lack of intensity throughout the game and Beaver's 3 point shots were daggers.  sigh......

Interesting to see Scranton ahead of Wesley in the Regional Rankings and yet it isn't ranked.  I know anomalies happen, but that is pretty big.

Regional rankings very numbers-driven, just like football.

The Wesley win and Mary Washington loss makes their next confrontation on Saturday THE game of the CAC season.  This ought to be good.

Congrads to Wesley for really taking it to Mary Washington today.  That was the right job at the right time! Well done.  Now Wesley sits atop the CAC alone.......

Just have to post about the CNU/ST Mary's game last night. St. Mary's is a class program. It was senior night at CNU and before the game the 2 seniors where escorted to center court and recognized by the CNU fans. The entire time, the St Mary's bench was on their feet applauding. Then 4 players from St Mary's (I'm assuming seniors themselves) met the CNU players as they came of the court and congratulated them. Very classy. Nice touch! I was impressed. It is good to see sportsmanship like that.

Agreed 85, SMC is a class act....now, for the game.  What the heck is going on w/Cherry and Thorpe?  Cherry has been struggling and Thorpe has really faded....hard to win against good teams when our better players don't show up.  Personally, I think we need to be more aggressive and attack the basket....when a perimeter oriented team is not hitting their shots, you have to try and make something happen.

I know the CAC is tough this year, but the second half of the season has been a disappointment....

[CNU85]

I was thinking the same thing. Daly has really stepped into the role, but he needs help. Can you imagine if Biberaj didn't transfer to ODU? He starts with Daly coming off the bench.....and a few minutes when they play together. Our inside game would be huge! But I can't wait to see how Daly progresses in his career. He is going to have a nice career!

[CNU85]

Swish - I just looked at the regional rankings. Shaking my head. Look at the teams ranked that we beat, and one we lost by 2. Shaking my head.

[Swish3]

Don't get me started on Biberaj....his loss really hurt us this year.  As you said, though, I think Daly will have had a nice career once everything's said and done.  CNU has had some nice wins, but their inconsistency and the level of competition w/in the conference has caused a few more losses than what we're accustomed to.  Unfortunately, the regional rankings are a very number driven process....even though CNU has lost eight games, I feel confident that they could beat a lot of the teams that are ranked. 

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

You may have confidence they can beat them... but to some extent they have proven they can't.

[Swish3]

They've won some big games and lost some big games....when they're on, they can compete w/any team in the mid-atlantic.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

And that is the problem unfortunately... and what a lot of teams will say about themselves.
