What are the chances of UMW getting into the regional rankings?  They are one of the hottest teams in the region right now.

I'm not sure about the rankings.  I'd imagine the Carnegie Mellon loss is killing them right now.   That was a bad one.   On a nice streak right now though and got to avenge the earlier loss to Frostburg tonight.    3 way tie for 2nd!

Mary Wash has a .506 SOS ... that isn't helping them either. Maybe their vRRO will help them, but I haven't looked to see how they will do with that. Certainly wins over YCP and others are helpful, but maybe not enough to overcome that SOS.

BTW - not sure the Carnegie Mellon game is having any impact whatsoever.

I agree that UMW is playing well...I'm already nervous about CNU's upcoming visit to Fredericksburg.

New bleachers are set to come to Salisbury's Maggs Gym in May; SU Athletics leadership has started a community petition to make a new indoor facility a 'top priority.' I sat down with SU Athletics Director Dr. Gerry DiBartolo to discuss it all.

Well, Mary Washington losing at Wesley and Salisbury winning at York were a couple of unexpected results...CNU definitely has the toughest two games left, but if they can find a way to win 'em, that would create a 3 way tie for first, as I expect Salisbury to win out...two HUGE games to go first, so let's see what happens.

GO CAPS!

GAME DAY!
Needless to say, tonight's game is really BIG...if CNU can win, I like their chances Saturday night...if not, they'll need an extremely short memory!

GO CAPS!

Where are the UMW fans?

This is a big one for both sides.   UMW could maybe sneak into 3rd if the chips fall right.   I hope UMW can bounce back from a really tough loss (half court buzzer beater) to Wesley.    Should be a great crowd!

Yep, that's a gut wrenching way to lose....

Great win last night for CNU...I knew it was gonna be tough, but they pulled it out, which I thought was imperative leading into the home finale against York.  The CNU write-up said the winner on Saturday would be the #1 seed...now, if the Captains were to win, they would technically be tied w/York in the conference standings, but I think CNU's sweep of Salisbury would give them the nod...Saturday should be a fun day at the Free!

GO CAPS!

Also, I was surprised to see that Salisbury lost at Wesley...I figured they would finish strong after winning at York.  Speaking of York, they seem to be struggling...I'm sure they'll be ready Saturday, though.

Wesley was defending the D3 Championship Belt.  I'm sure that made the difference.

Congrats to the Captains last night.   There was a stretch in each half when CNU seemingly couldn't miss 3s and MW couldn't recover.  Made it interesting at least.   Should be a great game on Saturday in Newport News.  Good luck!

Yep, they're definitely big rivals, but I think it's more intense in football...I was surprised, but not shocked, that SU lost...Wesley ain't bad, and their gym gives 'em a little advantage.

Thanks, MW_Eagles...your team will be a tough out in the conference tournament!
