MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

spartanfan13 · December 06, 2014, 09:44:43 PM

York College has a very young team this year with no seniors and only one junior. They won their second game today, but I think they are going to take their lumps this season. I do have 2 questions that I hope someone can answer. What happened to Ryan Beaver? He played opening weekend tournament, but is no longer on roster. Why wasn't Tyler Alcid getting any minutes the first couple games? he didn't look injured to me and seems to have given them a little spark.

Week 1...CNU defeats #11 Randolph Macon from the ODAC by 1 in OT.
Last night....CNU loses to #11 Va Wesleyan from the ODAC by 1 in OT

Gotta love sports!! Yesterday CNU did not have their #1 scorer in the lineup due to injury (Daly)..... The previous 2 games CNU found a way to win without their only Senior on the floor (Cherry).

I really like this team this year!!!! They find ways to play hard and win even with key components missing. And only 1 senior and a slew of FR and SO.

For the CNU fans, here is a follow-up to a great kid who left CNU to chase a dream, Nik Biberaj: http://hamptonroads.com/2014/12/odu-division-iii-transfer-nik-biberaj-living-his-dream

Thanks for the link, ecrugger....watched Nik play last night against Georgia State. I still cringe when I think about how good CNU would have been if he had stayed....

On a different note, CNU suffered another tough loss at Salisbury last night....looked to be a really ugly game for both teams. I'm disappointed that CNU lost, but w/Daly still out, that's a huge void to fill consistently. I can only hope that he'll return sooner than later....

Looked as though both the Lady Caps and the men, were more focused on the break than hoops!

Geez, this board is dead....come on folks, let's get some chatter going! Even though the conference isn't nearly as strong this year, it's going to be a fierce battle between CNU, Marymount and St. Mary's for supremacy. I can see Mary Washington, Salisbury and Wesley pulling some mild upsets along the way, but I look for the previous three that I mentioned to be on top.

GO CAPS!

The Seahawks took their four-hour bus trip to Frostburg, with snow falling, and picked up a hard fought win. They did not play well in the first half, but outscored FSU by 20 in the second half. The FSU coach took out his starters with 5 minutes to go as he waved the white flag. This is the first of 3 straight tough road games for SMCM. Next week they travel to CNU and then Wesley. Both are very difficult places to play. It seems as though the Seahawks have settled in and are playing their best basketball of the year. When you add 11 new players it takes time to gel. Anyone at the Wesley/MMT game this weekend? Sounds like a tough game.

Looking forward to the Salisbury game at CNU!!!!

I know what you mean about new players. 13 of the 18 on the roster for CNU are either Freshmen or Sophomores!! Only 1 Senior.

Okay, folks, there will be a first place showdown on Wednesday night at the Free....should be a good one!

GO CAPS!

St. Mary's seemed to sleep walk through a painful game to watch at home vs Southern VA. SVA played their butts off, but SMCM is just too talented even when they are obviously looking to the Wednesday showdown at CNU. It should be a good one.

CNU85 · January 13, 2015, 09:55:50 AM

I don't think CNU has ever beaten St. Mary's! I think CNU is 0-6 going back about 8 years and are 0-5 under Coach K.

3 of the last 4 games have been decided by less than 10 points. I hope I can make the game!

Swish3 · January 14, 2015, 12:47:56 PM

St. Mary's leads the all time series 8-6, and has won the last six....hoping that will change tonight!

GO CAPS!

It changed!

Indeed....now that looked like a battle for first place! Talk about an intense game....very tough and physical. I haven't seen Marymount play, but I feel pretty confident saying that LaGuerre will easily win the conference POY award....that kid is good.

GO CAPS!
