MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Swish3]

You're right, '85, NYU is huge and talented...they were impressive.  The Captains will have to play very well to have a chance tonight...

GO CAPS!

[CNU85]

Great game!! CNU allowe first 8 points. I was thinking this was going to be tough to dig out of that hole. It was tough. But when the lead was exchanging hands in the 50's I was thinking if we can get the lead, we will keep it and pull out the W. NYU is really good! 9 guys 6-6 or taller. CNU fought hard, played within the team, Carter stepped up the way th conference POY should and wow- what agame. Great environment! Keene St is next. Waiting to find out where. Go Captains!

CNU's video is very good (as is the team, of course).

Even as a SUNYAC fan (although displaced) I kinda wish the sectional was there for that very reason.

I heard that the Oswego-Gwynedd game was basically to decide the host. With Oswego winning it promises CNU flies. Had GMC won, no flights would have been needed.

Ugh. That would suck. I guess we will find out later today. Then decisions can be made.

Oswego it is! As much as I don't like it, if you really understand how the NCAA operates Division III sports, this makes sense. Better to fly one team, than 2 or 3. From a competition standpoint CNU earned the right to be the host, but that's not how it works in D3. I looked at a map, I would rather bus to Oswego than fly. You can make it in 9 hours.  You load up once. Flying will involve 2 flights, a layover,  possible flight delays, etc. Just get on the bus and settle down for the trip. But that's just me. I love driving.

CNU could opt to drive if it wanted to. It definitely happens.

I wondered about that and how the NCAA handles travel. Is it a set amount of money or is it actually reimbursed after travel? I was talking to NYU parents and they said they flew. But then I couldn't tell if they meant the team flew or just the particular people I was talking to.

[Pat Coleman]

If the team flew they did it on NYU's dime. I doubt that they were referring to the team.

Teams that fly on the NCAA's dime call the NCAA travel office and book it through there so I expect that it's billed straight to the NCAA, at least for the official 18-person travel party. I expect it's the same way for busing but don't know a whole lot about that process.

Fantastic win for CNU last night...NYU really dominated the post, but the Captains were still able to get it done!  Into the sweet sixteen for the first time in fifteen years!

I can't be as diplomatic as '85 about Oswego hosting...that's a complete pile of garbage!  Yeah, I know how the ncaa treats division three, but that doesn't make it right...at least one team, probably more, gets jobbed every year and, unfortunately, it's CNU this time.  It's a shame they're such cheap bastards...

GO CAPS!

Just watched NYU's post game interview...classy program.

I was wondering about that, too - so I looked at flights.  There's a couple that go through Philly with quick layovers between Newport News and Syracuse - total travel time is like 3 hours.  That's not bad.  I'm sure the NCAA will be happy if they want to bus; it was like $500 a ticket for the flight.

Philly - the #1 airport in U.S. to lose baggage!

[Swish3]

Hopefully this will work, '85...
