MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

Yeah, I think I may have misspoke in terms of Salisbury having a lesser opponent in Eastern Connecticut....just hadn't heard of them like I have IWU. At any rate, Salisbury will have their hands full, and I wish them luck....

Well, catching a break, word is EConn's best player, Preston, will still be out for this game. They barely slowed down when he went down, so it's not that they're really short-handed or anything, but not having your best player is still not having your best player. If he's there, it'll be his first games back from an extended injury.

Interesting....I hope he plays, even if he's not 100%.

I'm not sure he's even ready. I've been told the boot's been off for a week, but you never know.

Nice win for the 'bury....Wyatt Smith went off! Keep it going tomorrow, Gulls!

GO CAC!

Big win for SU. Wyatt Smith went for 37 and 9. ECSU made a run late in the game to cut it to 3 but that's as close as they got.

To answer an earlier question, SU got off to a slow start to the season because Wyatt Smith didn't dress the first 3 games and then didn't start until game 7. Once he moved into the starting lineup, SU started to gel.

Swish3 · March 07, 2015, 05:24:01 PM

Why did he not dress for the first three games, then not even start until game seven? I think ECSU was missing their best player last night, but they obviously had no answer for Smith down low....

I believe injury but I'm not 100% positive

Swish3 · March 07, 2015, 08:47:09 PM

Tough ending for Salisbury....Smith goes from 37 one night to 4 the next. Congratulations, Gulls....very good season!

Unfortunately I thought the game was tonight and not last night so I didn't get a chance to see it. It's probably a good thing I missed it. Oh well, great season for SU. Coach Merkel has really turned the program around. They should compete next year again for the CAC championship and hopefully another bid to the NCAA tourney. They return all but two players from this years team.

Salisbury has hired Andy Sachs from Bethany as their new head coach... http://www.suseagulls.com/sports/mbkb/2015-16/releases/20150622vp4qpx

Okay, folks, basketball season is approaching fast, so we need to get some chatter going....this board is dead! I think the CAC will come down to CNU and Salisbury, with the Captains edging out the Gulls for all the marbles. I think both teams are returning virtually everyone, so it should be interesting....anyone else have any news/comments?

GO CAPS!

I expect UMW to challenge too. They lost many games by a small margin last year and played much better at the end of the season. Also expect an influx of talent.

Swish3 · October 08, 2015, 09:13:59 PM

Yeah, I'm sure they'll be a tough out....as a whole, I think the conference will be pretty solid again.

GO CAPS!

Swish3 · November 05, 2015, 01:39:34 PM

Just glanced at Salisbury's roster and didn't see Wyatt Smith...that's a big loss for them. They'll still be good, but replacing Strickland and now Smith won't be easy...time will tell.

GO CAPS!
