Not trying to make a big deal out of it...I'm sure Coach K could care less, but as a fan, it would have been nice to see him recognized.

Maybe I'll see you in Salem, Ryan....

Congrats to CNU on a great run, including their first final 4. It looks like you all will be making the trip to Salem again very soon. I was impressed with the Captains resolve and ability to keep the game in reach. Many teams may have just gone away.

Good luck next season!

Thanks! I was at the Final Four. CNU clearly belongs at that level. This season was not a fluke. I simply cannot wait for next season. And congrats to Marcus Carter...NABC first team All-American....as a sophomore!!

It was also nice to see Pat Coleman honored in Salem. I wish I would have been able to catch up to him and say thanks for all he has done!

Pat will still be there next year - just maybe not working as much.  He might have more free time to patrol the boards next season, who knows?

What a season of Division III basketball and it isn't quite over with yet! The men might have crowned their championship, but the women have one more game to go.

We also take a look at the two semifinal games in women's basketball and the upcoming championship between St. Thomas and Tufts to be played in Indianapolis.

Dave also talks to Page Moir, head coach for Roanoke, who suddenly announced on Tuesday he is stepping down from the position and looking for something new to challenge him.

Sorry, 85! I was thinking about you and Swish, though. I bet I will still be working there about as hard next year -- it will be January and February where I'll be less present.

Okay, folks, it's almost time!  First, though, as a long time CNU fan, I have to say that last season was incredible!  It was great to see the Captains finally break through and make it to a Final Four!  Even though it didn't go their way, I know it was an amazing experience for the players, as well as myself...I saw Pat and company from a distance at Salem, but wasn't able to catch up with them.  I, too, appreciate everything he and the staff have done for D3 sports!

CNU has all the pieces in place to have another great season...however, I do think the CAC will be better overall, and the Captains have some tough out of conference games, so it won't be easy!  Will they be able to live up to the expectations?  Only time will tell...also, I hope that we can all chime in and continue our banter, as we did last year.  Who knows, maybe we'll get some new posters to liven things up?!?!

GO CAPS!

Come on, people, let's get some chatter going!

I am excited to see the season get going Swish! The CNU squad looks as deep as I've seen it in a long time! The CAC is going to be pretty solid darn near top to bottom. I've been doing a little reading lately, especially after last year's run to the Final Four and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the league this year. Salisbury's top scorer from two years ago returns, among others. Definitely a deep league, reminds me of the ODAC days or yore back in the late 90's or early 00's. The schedule is BEAST this year. I will say that. I am so glad they have beefed up the schedule over the years. It's great to see some top/tough squads on the docket. I am hoping to get to a game this year, been too long since I was able to get to the Freeman Center.

Swish3

Good to hear from you, Goose!  Yep, the conference should be pretty tough...I'm sure Salisbury will have revenge on their mind for last season, plus they're getting their big man back, as you mentioned.  I also think Mary Washington will be good...look for CNU, SU and MWC to battle it out for first place.  The Captains have the physical tools to be great again...for me, it boils down to them playing to their potential consistently and being in the right frame of mind to handle the expectations.  I think Coach K and his staff will do a good job w/the mental aspect...besides, these are kids, so hopefully they'll just concentrate on playing hard and having fun!

GO CAPS!

You are also forgetting SMC... I think it will be a massive four-horse race this season. CAC may be the most thrilling race to watch in the entire country.

I don't see them contending this year...do you know something I don't?

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Yeah - I see them contending this year. We will wait and see.

Regardless, this is going to be a deep conference from what I see. York was sneaky good and St. Mary's is usually a tough match-up regardless of their roster. I was "Pro-CAC" long before CNU made the move and I still think moving to this league was one of the best decisions to come out of an already "smart" athletic department staff. To me this only makes CNU's teams better as a whole going up against better competition in all sports, especially in the "money" leagues like basketball. I am definitely excited as a CNU alum and former employee for this season.
