MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Swish3]

Wow, what a weekend...the Captains finally break through and get to a Final Four, which isn't easy!  Man, this season has been so special...I would imagine CNU will be the underdog against St. Thomas, but I like that position.

GO CAPS!

[Swish3]

Saturdaychores are done!  Let's get this game started! Hey Swish, did you listen to the radio broadcast yesterday and Tmmasino?

I watched the game online, then listened to Francis for the post game interview w/Coach K....

[Reserved Seat]

I have CNU as the winner on my bracket.  Looking good so far.  I picked 3 of the top 4 missed St. Thomas.

[CNU85]

Just bought my ticket for the final four!! What is this thing they call Final Four?? Hahahahahaha!!!

Swish - was wondering if you were listening to Tommasino. I bug him during the game via text. Sometimes, like in the past two games, I get a shout out.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Um... they actually don't call it the Final Four in Division III. LOL

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Um... they actually don't call it the Final Four in Division III. LOL

That's just because they trademarked it and if they let the other divisions call it that, they'll lose their protective rights for merchandise.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Yep... D1 trademarked Final Four, Elite Eight, Sweet 16, Frozen Four, Baseball World Series, etc.

Championship Weekend is always easy to say. LOL

Sounds good to me, RS!

I missed it, '85...speaking of broadcasters, I had to mute the audio in Oswego as I watched the game online...they were really bad, and that's probably being kind.

I found a new low this year.  I watched the MASCAC championship and Fitchburg had this girl doing color - now I wish she wasn't female because it's hard to criticize her without sounding sexist - there are lots of great female announcers out there, she was just not one of them.  I think I even tweeted about the play-by-play guy letting his girlfriend on the air, because he was decent, but she was talking over him and too loudly and didn't have the depth of knowledge needed for the game.  I really just felt bad for the guy.

There are some bad ones out there - of course I'm ok with it (although I do mute them), because a lot of time they're students and who wouldn't have had a ton of fun doing that in college, even if you weren't very good?

My goodness, who cares? Let fans call it the Final Four!

Totally agree, Ryan...these were definitely students at Oswego, who were enthusiastic and meant well, but simply not good.

So, the fam and I bought tickets Saturday night for this weekend not knowing that the Salem Civic Center was going to designate certain sections to the four teams involved...as it turns out, we'll be in the freaking Amherst section, 'cause I could not get an exchange done for the same, or similar, seats in CNU's section.  Some how, some way, the process needs to be improved upon...

[Swish3]

Congrats to Marcus Carter on making first team all region...given CNU's season, how was Krikorian not the coach of the year in the mid-atlantic?

Based on past trips to Salem, you should be able to do some swap at the Civic Center when you get there.  With a please and thank- you, the Civic Center staff has always been accommodating.
