MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[mwgoonie]

Ah, the galloping of the Four Horsemen can be heard throughout the DC Metro Area.

I hope we get the refs that look like Coach Ditka and Robert "The Chief" Parrish.

And I hope they make a bad call. So we can hear about it all week....

[John Rusnak]

I find that which ever team has the most points at the end of the game usually wins.  So if I had to pick one category to focus on I'd say it's total points scored in a game.

Just for clarification, this would include all 2's, 3's, free throws, and 25 point bonus baskets that are scored.

CUA 60 @ Marymount (+3) 57
GAL 78 @ Goucher 66 (+5)
SMC 72 @ UMW 81 (-6.5)
SAL 62 @ YCP 96 (-4)

I would love to know the methodology that goes into these lines, if there is one. I would hate to lay down some of my hard-earned on a faulty line.

[mwgoonie]

Wow, glad to see there is no shortage of geniuses on this board. allfirst, you make a great point.

Are there really 25 point bonus baskets? Or are you just joking?
I looked in the official D3 rule book but didn't see it.

I know there are games tonight and I would hate to get in the middle of the "who thinks the refs are bad vs who thinks those people talk about it too much" debate but I spent the weekend on a road trip with some YCP Alumni, and in the spirt of the big day at the kitchen we started talking about the who was the best player of all time at York. Some of the Class of 92-96 guys said the list began and ended with Jeff Mann. I was at YCP from 94-98 and I nominated Jeff Landis, Dan Johnson, and Dave Martins from my era. The younger guys were all centered on Andy O'brien Steve Schmehl, John Ely and the leaders of the current team such as Bushey and Fass.
    None of us saw Wayne Johnson or Ken Riddick play and I was hoping those of you who played at York and get to be around those guys at alumni games, or those of you who saw them either at Wolf or around the CAC might weigh in. Like I said, I know it is a game night, but I thought I might throw it out there.

[John Rusnak]

I never saw Jeff Mann, but I understand he was good.  Martins was a decent player, but Andy O was such an incredible scorer that I'd say it should tip his way.  But, maybe defense counts for something and people have other opinions.  Jonny Baerr was good too, but I wouldn't put him over the others.

[John Rusnak]

Oh, by the way, the 25 point basket only comes out on games that are televised on mtv.  To my knowledge the cac hasn't had one in a while.

A day or a season without one comment

... a season without one comment? That would be like you going through a three-hour show without saying "that's an interesting point" or "real quick."

[Matt Letourneau]

Yeah, c'mon, d'mac--be reasonable.  A SEASON....

Hell, you yourself have commented on the refs in a game at least twice this year.

I've complained about the officiating mainly in one game.  That's it.  I mentioned it once regarding the Salisbury game, which I wasn't at, and I complained about the table at Marymount.    Others complained or asked questions about calls in a few other games and I probably chimed in.

But it isn't like I've been complaining about the refs all year.  I know you like to single me out, though, so I've been waiting for it.

And I don't agree with you that the refs are always bad.  They aren't.  They've been pretty good in the bigger games I've seen this year, actually.  When the officials make a difference in the outcome of the game, either way, I think its worth noting.  Otherwise, I would agree, not so much.

Details from Goucher..

The Spartans were led by Chad McGowan as the sophomore forward had 24 points and 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the year. McGowan finished 9-for-16 from the floor and 5-for-6 from the charity stripe. Senior Brandon Bushey added 14 points including four threes for the evening. Bushey was an efficient 5-for-8 from the floor including 4-for-6 from distance. Junior Brad Zerfing was the third Spartan in double figures with 11 points. Freshman Nate Fry was also very good in the win as he had nine points and a career-high nine rebounds. Senior Brian Singer and junior Joe Yeck each added eight points to the Spartan attack.

The Gophers received a team-high 21 points from ironman Jonathan Garritt as he played all 40 minutes for Goucher. Garritt drained four triples and was an impressive 7-for-8 from the free throw line. James Russo added 18 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Russo needed 25 shots to get his 18 points as the green and white defense hounded him into 5-for-25 shooting from the floor including 2-for-15 from three. Justin Ajose was the third Gopher in double figures with 11 points while he also had six rebounds.

The Spartans have won four straight overall and head to Marymount on Saturday. Game time in Arlington is 4:00 pm.
