Up next for Gallaudet Bison would be on December 27, at Medgar Evers College (0-7), and December 29, at City College of New York (0-8). Both teams are combinated for 0-15 record, so look for GU to win both cupcake games easily in the state of New York to improve it's record from 5-2 to 7-2.

Geez, another cupcake teams...  You know I was doing the total records of teams Gallaudet beat. Teams Gallaudet beat has a combined record of 8 wins 47 losses. Now another cupcakes in NY with a combined record of 0 wins and 15 losses.  Add that to overall record after Gallaudet will cruise to 7 wins- 8 wins/62losses.

Well... Most teams have two CAC games done and over with.. The confrence is playing out much like many expected, with St. Marys on top with Mary Washington, and everyone else looking up at them both.

Bisonpride, maybe you should change your posting name... Doesn't sound like you have much pride in your school. Instead of guys like you and Harrishoop being happy that your program is winning, you crush their achievements. Your problem is you think because a team is bad, it can't win.. But the thing about college basketball is you have to play the game to win... It isn't an automatic win because the team isn't as good as you think. Case in point, a highly ranked St. Mary's losing to an unranked Baruch, or Gallaudet losing to a Cal Tech team that lost 184 straight before playing the Bison.
Some of those "cupcakes" that Gallaudet beat this year, they lost to in years past.

No game is easy. Especially when a team expects to win, because thats typically when they play their worst.

I'm not curious about the Bison and their season, they're in rebuilding efforts, and will be for a while. I'm curious about York... They are having quite the up and down year. They are losing to teams they wouldn't think twice about in years past, yet they compete with the likes of a nationally ranked Gettysburg. Any thoughts on York?

Good question, I have been wondering that as well. I'm looking at their schedule so far through the season and I agree, a complete roller coaster.

My opinion is that you can really sum-up the first 9 games for York with one word: Young.

They lose to Widener at Widener by 12, when they were No. 23 in the country, they lose to Gettysburg by 9 at Gettysburg when they are No. 11, and a sound victory at Hood sheds some light on just how good they could be, but losses by double digits at home against Nuemann, and a loss to Salisbury at home are pretty unforgiveable. Only explanation could be for the Salisbury loss is that after a loss to Stevenson in Quad-OT at home, legs could be tired and spirits could be down for such a young team.

They start two freshman, a sophomore and two juniors. No seniors I noticed play significant minutes...where's Pat Kelley? The two juniors are Jeremy Keefer and Nick Brady. Both have played big minutes since coming in as freshman, but both played behind a two-time All-american and another all-conference player as well. This is their first time really leading a collegiate team, and they do not seem to be doing to bad. Keefer is one of the overall most gifted athletes in the conference, and Brady is one of the best overall scorers in the CAC. I haven't seen them play other then Villa Julie at home, but at that game i noticed the two freshman have GREAT potential, and Hoffman (soph) is a real energizer for the team. Ive noticed that York plays three players 35+ minutes per game, and really only a 7-man rotation though. Tired legs? Maybe this break will do them good.

As with everyone elses season they seem to be inconsistant. You do not know which team will show up. They are a very fun up-tempo team to watch when there on, but when they arent clicking they can look very raw as well. But granted, there young. So the question is, how will they be when they all grow up? Could be the consistant winning York team of old? Maybe, the season is young, but I'm not completely ruling it out.

Would love to hear some feedback on this team as well...



Other team I want to know more about also is Hood...what is going on in Fredrick? Something does not seem right with Hood...

Wow! What a change in a year for this board!! Where are all the posters? Early on it looks like St Mary may hold serve again this year with Wesley, Mary Wash and others nipping at their heels.

Any earth shattering revelations on the race out there?

Awfully quite in this room, especially after a rather surprising win by York over SMC!!! Anyone see the game?

Got a chance to see the Mary Wash- Marymount game last night. Extremely physical game. Marymount will definitely give some people trouble under the hoop if the game is called loosely like last night.

Wesley looks like they are going to push St Mary's for the early league lead, but there is still quite a bit of conference action to be enjoyed. Big game coming up between Mary Wash and Wesley this week.

Anyone else have any observations?

CACsportsnut

Obviously Mary Washington, Wesley and St. Mary's seem to be the cream of the crop this year in the CAC, atleast as of now. Salisbury is a pleseant suprise at 4-3. Gallaudett is 0-7 (maybe there out of league schedule really was that sub-par), but I feel they have the talent to really shock some people. Then there are 3 teams (Stevenson, Marymount and Hood) who are 2-4, and York sits at 2-5. Marymount I do not feel is a 2-4 team, and York definately is not a 2-5 anymore. I thought they were only so-so, but after beating St. Mary's in a grind out win, and almost upsetting Wesley I think there a team that could really develop into something. Marymount has the talent, they just need to use it EVERY game. Were basically half-way through the conference games, and if I had to guess now, I think the playoffs shake down like this:

1.) St. Marys
2.) Wesley
3.) Mary Washington
4.) Salisbury
5.) York
6.) Marymount

Stevenson just barely misses the cut.

I have two questions...has RaShawn Johnson already established himself as the conference player of the year? And where has Junghans been from Hood? I have not saw him in any of the box scores the past 4-5 games.

I believe Junghans graduated early and is no longer with the Hood basketball team.

Went to go see the Wesley- St. Mary's game today.  Wesley pulled through and made up an 11 point deficit to win the game 97-93.  As with Mary Washington, the Wolverines gave up a lot of height, and had to make up for it by an aggressive defense.

CAC looks like it could go down to the final few games to see who will make the playoffs. Any guesses? And once playoffs are set, who wins it?

Also, who is the P.O.Y., R.O.Y., C.O.Y., and 1st and 2nd team All-Conference? I have to try something that will get this board rolling again...

Teamski

We'll certainly find out in the last two games.  Wesley will have it tough with the last two road games of the season, which will undoubtedly determine who will get #1 and #2 seed in the CAC.  They are on one hell of a run right now.

Teamski

Wow, Wesley really sucked at Marymount.  They let the Saints drive to the basket at will, and let them dominate the paint.  Add way too many rushed 3's and you have a rout.  They just weren't in the game and the Wesley record 11 wins in a row ends with a truly lackluster game....

The regional rankings were released today with Wesley and St Mary's coming in at number 4 and 5 in the region also I don't know what teams they should be on but I like rashawn johnson matt hale camtonta griffin alex franz brandon altman devin jones nick brady alphozo wright mike gray and greg woody
rookie of the year brendan straughn coach of the year and player of the year I am waiting to see who finishes on top

HoopsontheHill

For All Conference I think Rashawn and Griffin are obvious locks.  From there it should be Hale, Altman, Woody, Wright, Gray. And while Gallaudet has only won one game, statistically Sekoe White has had a great season. Top ten in a number of categories including points, rebounds, assists, and a/to ratio.

I have Kobasa as COY with McClary runner-up, Johnson as POY with Griffin the runner-up, and I have Straughn the runner-up for ROY, I have the Tatum kid from Gallaudet.
