MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

And the Eagles played without starting post player John Yoxthimer, hopefully he returns soon. Got to make those free throws at the end!

Did Wesley's James Livingstone get hurt? He is a very good player.

I have not a clue.  I noticed that he was off the roster by the Southern Virginia game.  You aren't kidding about being a loss to the team if he doesn't return.

Usually if a player is off the roster... it isn't because of injury... ESPECIALLY this time of year. He is off the online roster.

HUGE conference loss for CNU yesterday....their lack of an inside game has finally caught up w/them.  Gotta get well in a hurry....big game at MWC Wednesday night!

GO CAPS!

[Teamski]

Salisbury had Wesley on the ropes there in the second half tonight.  Wesley rebounded from being 11 points down to win the game.  Salisbury is definitely a better team than what its record shows.

CNU is reeling....one thing, though....how does MW shoot 42 free throws and CNU only 13?  Obviously, they were more aggressive, but that's still a huge disparity....CNU has a must win game on Saturday against Marymount!

GO CAPS!

Congrats to UMW's Dylan Farinet for breaking the UMW school record with 42 points today, to go with 12 rebounds, five assists, and no turnovers.

[Teamski]

Wesley continues its streak with a win over St. Mary's today in face of a tough last minute full court press that caused several turnovers.  Well done Wolverines, well done.

Congrads to Wesley reaching #12 for the first time in program history.  Surprised how tough it is for the team to get a better ranking considering how many ranked opponents the Wolverines have hit so far.  That said, I guess that the team doesn't have a consistent year-to-year top-25 presence that a lot of other teams have.  Without that history, it takes a bit more to crack the top 10.......

I wonder if it has anything to do with the question, "If you put Wesley in the top 10, who do you take out?" My guess is that Wesley is deserving of a Top 10 ranking to some voters but those in the top 10 may have done nothing to drop out of it.

Just a guess, Wesley certainly has a nice thing going. Wish them best of luck the rest of the way. They can't have any slip ups between now and 2/3!!!

Ahh yes....Cabrini.  Obviously,  Marymount will be tough having given Wesley its only loss so far.  I don't know what opponents the two loss teams went up against, but they must have been ranked for them to remain in the top 10....... Nope, checking a couple teams trashes that idea.  It has to be their top-25 history or something along that line to create an anomaly like that.  Strength of schedule?  Wesley football enjoyed that same sort of favored status from time to time as a result of the consistency it has had at the top.

Regardless, Wesley is really doing the business this year.....

[Pat Coleman]

IWU also lost to Loras but yeah, that's the extent of it. Also note that IWU beat Wash U, so that accounts for them staying up where they are.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

LOL - was just typing away and forgot Loras... fixed

[gowesley]

Nova Southeastern is actually Division II.  Does anyone know if a team has more wins than Wesley does against ranked teams with them having 4 so far?
