MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

I'll be chiming in too.  Pretty excited for the season to start.  UMW also has a pretty brutal schedule.  Should be a fun year.  Since UMW didn't have hoops last year, the team looks different but exciting nonetheless.

I keep track of UMW a little more than I normally do. A friend of mine has a daughter on the women's team.

Good start for CNU. Tough game coming up on Sunday.

That's kind of an understatement.

Nice win over #14 JHU today. A lot of new guys stepped up. Looks like this team is starting to come together. Huge test on Friday vs #3 Marietta on a neutral court.

Glad to have basketball back!  Tough to see Barber transfer to CNU, he's already off to a great start.   I really thought MW could turn the corner this year with Barber and Greg Rowson (among a bunch of seniors) but don't see Rowson on the roster anymore.  Not sure what's going on there.  CNU looks stacked and strong.  This odd  conference alignment  makes the schedule a little weird.  Regardless, happy to see games again!

Understatement in terms of huge game Sunday or good start Ryan?  CNU is consistently one of the most underappreciated teams in the country by the national media.  I think their fan base expects them to beat Hopkins at home. 2 Final 4's in half a decade and hosting to go to elite 8 prior to COVID.  They seem to never get talked about among the elites like they probably should.

I fully expected CNU to win (although they did a lot to try and give it away down the stretch) and I had them ahead of JHU on my preseason ballot. This could very well be another Final Four season.

That last 3 minutes of the game about gave me a heart attack!!! I think had JHU been 100% healthy, the outcome may have been different. I saw a few guys at the end of the bench in orthapedic boots and on crutches etc. But I don't know their team, who they were, how the contribute, etc.

Marietta is on the clock. That should be a battle! I hope I can take time and get in front of my ipad to watch.

Catching Marietta in their opener should be a plus, but it'll be a good one.

Caught the second half of JHU/CNU game and checked box score.  Thinking Braedon Johnson (talented senior big guard) is either injured or was not available for the game for JHU.  I assume he would get the nod to start ahead of Carson James.  I think the rest of their main rotation was available, although I expected to see bigs Sykes or Crothers get some time (perhaps they are also sidelined or the combo of Thybulle and Nnake was the plan for this game). 

[CNU85]

CNU plays #3 Marietta in close game. CNU loses 86-83. At one point CNU was up 12 in first half. A tough loss. But respectable showing for sure.  The tough schedule continues. Lynchburg next weekend. Then the following weekend a tournament where on day 2 CNU meets #1 RMC.

UMW also had a close call - losing by 4 to #1 RMC.  It seemed like things clicked for UMW with about 10 minutes left in that game, and they follow up with two good victories on the weekend.

Nice! It's encouraging when your team does well early against top programs! Congrats on the 4pt loss (sounds weird - but that's a good showing!)

CN—-UUUUUUUUUU!
