Okay, it's pretty dead in here, as usual...CNU w/a solid, yet expected, win at PS-H, while Salisbury lost a close one at York.  I can't say that I'm surprised, 'cause the Spartans will be a tough test for the Captains, as well.  They have probably emerged as the third best team in the conference to this point, but there's lots of basketball left to be played...that said, the men have a very capable Mary Washington team coming to the Free on Wednesday night!  I will say, though, the marquee game Wednesday night will be on the women's side as they battle a fellow undefeated team in the Eagles...can't wait! 

GO CAPS and LADY CAPS!

Would love to see the women's game but will not be able to....

Come on, '85, you've gotta do better than that!

He's probably teaching a 5 pm class that evening!!

[Swish3]

There's been a Goose sighting!  When's he gonna learn that class takes a back seat to an actual game?  Geez!

[CNU85]

I have classes at 4:30 and 6:00.
What can I say? This will be my last semester teaching for awhile.  I've been doing this for 11 semesters. Time for a break in the fall.

[Goose_13]

Ack I was off by 30 mins. I couldn't remember what time MW evening classes started other than the 7 pm one that went for nearly three hours once a week! CNU85, I do admire you keeping that going for as long as you have. In all sincerity, I admire your ability in doing it, much like I admired my dad when he was a Prof there teaching Accounting and Information Systems. Kudos to you sir!! Not easy doing that and your day job. You are a true CNU faithful my friend!

Good stuff, Goose...coming to any games this year?  If so, make sure you're at the Free a week from tomorrow, as the Gulls will be invading Newport News!  That is a must win game for the Captains, but first things first....

Awww shucks. It's nothin'.

Seriously - thanks man! Sometimes I feel like I live on campus with all the stuff I do there (sometimes I even forget all of what I do there when I try to list it). But I love it or I wouldn't do it. I truly believe in the mission of the University and I love the students! They energize me and challenge me.

I am hoping to make it to a game at some point this year. Was thinking about coming down tonight then my oldest daughter tells me she needs my help with something tonight. I will have to see what's going on next Wednesday. Salisbury/CNU will definitely be a great contest for sure!

CNU85, I hear ya there my friend. I'm sure the CNU community is enjoying having you on board in all capacities.

It's exciting to see both teams ranked in the top 10 together. I know expectations are high on campus right now but both coaches know how to keep their players grounded. Will definitely be checking my phone tonight in earnest to see how things are going. Especially with that women's game tonight!

Another solid win for the Captains...the last ten minutes were the difference, as CNU went on a nice run and essentially put it away.  It was good to see Daly be aggressive and assertive from the start...when he does that, he and the team are so much better.  McFarland and Carter have got to be more consistent, plain and simple...I get not trying to force things, but they're too damn passive sometimes!  McFarland got into foul trouble and didn't play a whole lot, but I think he only shot the ball ONE time...Carter has been up and down all season.  It just seems like CNU could be so much better if everyone would step up and play like they're capable...I know, that's easier said than done, but I'm hoping they'll start to put everything together soon.  Also, wanted to mention that Chappell, one of CNU's freshman, is coming along down low...he could be a player to keep an eye on...Regimbal w/another very good game, as well.

GO CAPS!

An ugly win by the Gulls yesterday, they really did not sieve the moment. Although, it was a "rivalry" game, Salisbury played very sloppy and had to many turnovers and too many unnecessary fouls. I think for the Gulls to make a run, they are going to have to improve in their guard play. Wesley guards were much better than the Seagull Guards. Wesley has a freshmen guard that is going to be something special over the next few seasons, our freshmen guard is going to need to step up big time against good opposing guards. I'll take the W any day, but I was not impress with the way the game was played. Good luck against Marymount, the bigs are going to have to play well again to keep this train moving.

Anyone know of any big games tomorrow night?

Who knows, I was planning on watching the Salisbury vs. CNU, but those two teams are not that good this year and aren't ranked and are not fighting for 1st place in the CAC.
