MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

Good stuff, '85...speaking of the freshman, I really like #22...very athletic kid.

That thought crossed my mind as well, Ryan...maybe they'll get another shot at Marietta down the road to try and exact a little revenge.

Good stuff. I agree. CNU is too good and too well coached to let this beatdown do anything other than motivate them the rest of the year.

A solid win yesterday afternoon against a good program...Daly was a beast...Carter and Regimbal played well too. It will be interesting to see where the Captains land in the next top 25 poll...can't imagine they'd be outside the top 10. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Salisbury jumped into the poll...they're a team to be reckoned w/this year.

GO CAPS!

CNU drops 5 spots to #7 and Salisbury checks in at #19...their clash at Salisbury in mid-December will be huge!

GO CAPS!

I will be there for the men's and women's games. I've had them circled for as long as they've been public. I'm really looking forward to those matchups. Four great teams there.

CNU and Salisbury developed a rivalry in football, and now it exists in practically every sport, which makes these games that much better! Every now and then, I'll mention to my Dad that CNU and Salisbury are a lot alike...both of them tend to be pretty good in everything.

And you will see the final game for Salisbury's Justin May(?). I literally just forgot who it was as I went to write this and can't find my notes. Final semester of eligibility.

What's going on at Salisbury? First Straughn, now May?

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · November 30, 2016, 02:22:37 PM

Again, I might have the wrong player named there... and I might be thinking of Straughn. I will double-check now... but it is a senior in his last semester of eligibility.

FYI - I have deleted my comment because I am unsure of the name... I was distracted while posting it and shouldn't have done it.

And I did have the wrong guy... it is Straughn who is leaving. Sorry for the confusion.

Swish3 · November 30, 2016, 03:18:53 PM

Gotcha...I did wonder if you were confusing the two. St. Mary's is playing at Salisbury tonight...we'll see if Harney's transfers paid off.

Swish3 · December 01, 2016, 09:19:23 AM

Looks like St. Mary's might contend...they gave Salisbury a fit last night. Although, the Gulls did shoot badly from the field...can we attribute that to defense, or just an off night? Perhaps some of both, but time will tell...something interesting I noticed was that Jeter hasn't been himself to this point, at least in terms of scoring. He's averaging 6.6 points per game so far...Smith has come in and asserted himself, which has obviously affected Jeter. We'll have to keep an eye on that dynamic as the season progresses....

Another comfortable win for the Captains last night, but I suppose that was pretty much expected...good to see everyone get some minutes.

GO CAPS!

I know early last year, Coach Sachs talked about how difficult it was for Jeter to transition from the perimeter to the post in Smith's absence. I imagine there is a similar transition period this year with new roles. He seemed to have it figured out by late January - hopefully it will work that way again this season.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · December 02, 2016, 02:01:30 AM

... hmm, who was saying SMC was going to be part of the top four of this conference this season? ...

Someone thought I was kidding when I said that earlier this season. Honestly can't remember who. CNU, SAL, SMC, and UMW are going to make the CAC fight at the top the best in the country.

Swish3 · December 05, 2016, 10:12:02 AM

Wow, I wasn't expecting a tight game this past Saturday...CNU started off really well, then Frostburg went to a zone and the Captains struggled. They had some decent looks, but nothing was falling...a win's a win, but they have to be aggressive and shoot better more consistently. CNU has York on Sunday, which should be interesting....

GO CAPS!

I watched some of the St. Marys vs Salisbury game laste week and if St. Marys hits free throws I believe the outcome of that game would have been different. This will be a very competitive CAC race, I know SU and CNU will be at the top but UMW will put up a fight too. Salisbury will lose Straughn but Jordan Brooks (guard from last year) will be back when the first semester is over.
