MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[CNU85]

What's made you suspicious of CNU's schedule, Ryan?  It wasn't great, but it certainly wasn't bad either....

I also found it interesting that you said R-MC might be a year ahead of schedule, in terms of getting to the FF...they've got 5 seniors that play a significant role, so I don't see them being as good next year.  Yes, they'll have Anthony back, but he'll need more help...time will tell.

I'm curious too.... Here's what I have:
NCAA DIII National Stats
W-L % -- 5th
Scoring Def - 10th
Scoring Margin - 12th
FG % Def - 4th
3PT FG Def - 9th
Total Rebounds -14th
3 PT FG Made - 19th

Individual - Aigner (All-American Material??)
3PT FGM Per Game - 10th
3 PT FG % - 17th
Total 3PT FGM - 5th

Region Team info
1st in Regional Rankings
Tough Conference - 3 teams made NCAA Tournament
4th in Region v ranked opponents .. 60% W-L %
In-Division SOS -- .545

Just looking at the stats for Albertus Magnus, which I've gotten a kick out of saying, and they come at you by committee...only 2 of their 14 players average less than 10 minutes per game and 11 of them score between 2.5 and 9.7 points per game...the other three are in double figures.  Should be a fun game to watch...CNU better be ready!

GO CAPS!

Thank you to all on here for the information provided. Again I wish I could make it down to the game tomorrow but its just not possible for me this weekend.

I wish I could have passed some of this information along to Coach Olivers' family. He has a large contingency of family and friends that travel to a number of games, both home and away. I'm more than certain that they'll be in attendance tomorrow. We might have a few parents as well as I know that our starting guard Jahmerikah Green Younger has a wonderful family who travels to many of the games too!

Hopefully they'll be a few Falcons in the sea of Captains tomorrow! Homecourt advantages is such a factor in these games and from what I have heard and seen, the CNU Captains faithful can really pack the house!

Once again, good luck to both teams tomorrow. I look forward to the web broadcast!

I would expect about 1500 in attendance. The sad part is NCAA regulations limiting the participation of pep band/dance team/cheerleaders. I think the limit is 25.........perhaps D-Mac can shed some light on that. Normally the pep band alone is over 50 strong.

It's 12 for cheerleaders and 25 for band members - schools can bring more, but they have to buy tickets and only 12 and 25 can be in uniform at any one time.  I believe these limits exist in case all four schools in a pod decide to bring 12 cheerleaders and 25 band members; it might get a bit crowded.

Cool, thanks!!! What about Dance Team? Part of the 12 cheerleaders?  The reasoning makes sense considering often the venues are limited in size. So.....CNU can have more in the pep band show up with instruments but they can't be in uniform and must pay the price for students (which is free at CNU)??

[CNU85]

If CNU wins tonight, then there are decisions to be made.....The game Saturday or a Graham Nash concert at CNU. Hmmmmmmm....

It may be free to CNU students, but that would mean that CNU is paying the NCAA for student admissions, because there is no free admission for fans at an NCAA Tournament game aside from the people already mentioned.

True. CNU historically will not charge students and then they pay the NCAA. Seems to be the case again this year as the ticket office is announcing it is free with valid CNU ID.

D-Mac—-  great show put on by you and the gang of Ryan and Gordon! Nicely done!

Congrats to Coach Russ Phillips and the Saxons on an historic memorable outstanding season. Seniors Dom LeMorta, Scotty Stopera, Sage Brown and Pat McLamore Jr. will well be remembered for their grit in achieving their goal of winning an Empire 8 championship and creating a culture of winning at Alfred.

Pep is so proud of the Saxons and their fabulous season-ending run to the title and the NCAA Tournament. This team, at 24-5, is second in AU history for wins in a season, with only the 1985-86 squad (25-3) exceeding their win total.

Congrats also to an outstanding CNU squad. Happy to see a CNU Pep Band in the stands! Rock on! The CNU announcers for the webcast were top notch...much appreciated. Many Saxons followers that Pep spoke with also mentioned the outstanding announcers. Kudos! Best of luck the rest of the way!

On Saxon Warriors!
