MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Swish3]

Yeah - I see them contending this year. We will wait and see.

Fair enough...should be exciting!

GO CAPS!

Remembering York is key, too. Probably one of the best big men in the league... I do mean that seriously.

Regardless, this is going to be a deep conference from what I see. York was sneaky good and St. Mary's is usually a tough match-up regardless of their roster. I was "Pro-CAC" long before CNU made the move and I still think moving to this league was one of the best decisions to come out of an already "smart" athletic department staff. To me this only makes CNU's teams better as a whole going up against better competition in all sports, especially in the "money" leagues like basketball. I am definitely excited as a CNU alum and former employee for this season.

Good stuff, Goose...hope to see you at the Free!

For me, York will be one of those second tier teams within the conference that could potentially upset one of the better teams...and, yes, their big man is good.  As we've said, the conference will be tough/exciting...we'll see if the Captains are ready early on, as they play R-MC, UW-SP and Marietta starting Tuesday night.

Yes - I agree with where York sits... they will at least be in a position where you can't overlook them or they are going to ruin your day and maybe season.

Per CNU... looking forward to seeing them next weekend to be sure.

Just saw the CAC coaches poll. Interesting who coach K voted for.
I also just looked at the roster for CNU. The new guys seem impressive on paper. It will be interesting to see which ones have an impact right away. Some big boys. Let the fun begin!!!

I just saw it too...it was probably a tough call between Salisbury and Mary Washington for Coach K...both of them will likely be quite good.  I agree on the newcomers...excited for Tuesday night!  Even though R-MC struggled last year, I expect a good game...they have a strong program and a good coach, so the Captains will have to be ready!

York could meet F&M in the second game of the year, if both have the same outcome in their first games.

Let the madness begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MW_Eagles]

Hey all, glad the season is underway!   Went up to Fredericksburg last night to catch UMW's first game.   While they looked pretty good, it's disappointing that they've somehow lost both TJ Jones and Mark Madison.  That's a lot of points from last year's team.   I heard chatter that Mark Madison 'quit' this week.  Not sure of the story there.   They still have a fair amount of talent, but only dressed 11 players.   The freshman from Henrico looked impressive.   Eric Shaw also looked good, I just hope he can stay healthy.    Hoping they can build off of last year, but CNU's roster is going to make it hard for anyone to challenge for 1st place.   

[CNU85]

Nice game last night. Any win over an ODAC school is good stuff!! CNU went deep on the bench. 3 Freshmen were in early and were on the floor at the same time on a few occasions. Nobody played more than 27 minutes. Held RMC to 47 points.

It's just one game....on to Baltimore

[Swish3]

That was a pretty good start for CNU on Tuesday night...they began to pull away towards the latter part of the first half and didn't look back.  The competition tonight and tomorrow will be a lot better, so we'll see how they fare early in the season....

GO CAPS!

GAME DAY!

Looks like Harney raided the community colleges....
