MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I should become a meteorologist!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

This one is going to get harder and harder to reschedule... in fact... I don't see another date possible.

Cabrini's schedule:
- 2/5 HOME
- 2/10 AWAY
- 2/12 AWAY
- 2/15 AWAY
- 2/17 AWAY
- 2/19 HOME

Wesley's schedule:
- 2/5 AWAY
- 2/8 HOME
- 2/12 AWAY
- 2/15 AWAY
- 2/19 HOME
- 2/22 HOME

Well, that sucks.  We will have to see how it all works out.  They could do a consecutive day game on the 20th, leaving a day between for Wesley to finish off its schedule.

You really think either of these teams want to play on back-to-back days at this point in the season especially with conference races on the line?

[CCHoopster]

Game is not happening. More important for Wesley to win the conference than worrying about beating Cabrini. You need home games in the playoffs.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Well to be honest... playing Cabrini... especially on the road... win or lose will help Wesley for the NCAA tournament... that being said, at this point in the season and with weather still a factor in the coming week with conference games... neither team needs a distraction when they need to wrap up conference play and be in the driver seats for conference tournaments.

[Teamski]

It would have been an interesting game to be sure!

.....and big-time congrads to the Wolverines on their #6 ranking.  That is rarefied air for sure!  Well done gentlemen.

Neat story in tomorrow's USA Today about Wichita State's Gregg Marshall, and his college sparring partner, UMW head coach Rod Wood...

That's what I pointing towards. Wesley doesn't need any distractions with Mary Wash on their heels for first place in the CAC. I think winning the conference regular season and having home court in CAC playoffs is more important than scrambling to fit a game in vs Cabrini. Wesley (assuming they were to win out and win conference tourney) would be in fine shape for NCAA's- Cabrini is probably the one who could use the SOS boost more so and has a much less challenging road to finish out conference play. Obviously the game is huge but someone will lose and that can absolutely have a chance of a hangover affect after playing what I would think would be a hi energy and emotion game. If I am coaching one of those teams I could care less about getting it rescheduled. I would be more focused on winning out and my conference tourney. Just my thoughts!

Did York really beat Wesley?

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

They did... one sequence late in the game, Wesley inbounded from a made York basket... rolled the ball all the way up the court to nearly their three-point line... and then the first pass went out of bounds. Unreal. That is a really bad loss for Wesley.

Wow!

Dave:

How far down does that drop Wesley in RR's?

Probably 1 spot to 3rd, after Mary Washington. We'll see what happens Saturday for the official RRs next Wednesday.
