LETS GO EAGLES!

I'm with you on that!

Given UMW's talent, this season has been a disappointment, in my opinion...a signature win against R-MC, but 10 overall losses, including Bridgewater, Pacific and Salisbury...not good.

Likely a UMW fan that smited me...if so, just speaking the truth.

If UMW wins their next 2 games, I'm blaming you!

So much for that!

Definitely a disappointing year for UMW.   Very young team, so hoping they learned a lot.   Lost quite a few 2nd half, double digit leads (twice against York) and some other puzzling losses.    No seniors on the roster, so hoping for better next year.    With that said, the CAC final should be great. 

Now, what will this conference look like in a year...if it exists???

[jesskleangda]

MW_Eagles, I totally agree.  Tough year, lots of growing pains.  They are set up a nice year next year with the entire team eligible to return.

Congrats to York!  After the game I saw CNU Coach K hugging York's Wagner and said a few words. Was nice to see the sportsmanship. Especially after 2 players were tossed. And in the ultimate compliment to a player, I am so glad I will never see Jared Wagner in the Freeman Center again!

28, 7, and 5 on the road in the conference championship game when CNU was 31-1 at home going into the game over the past 2 years.

I think we need to revisit how much of a "stretch" the statement Wagner is POY in the MA Region and First-Team All-American really is...

Agree..................but let's see him put a team on his back like Flanagan did with Babson a couple of years ago and take them if not all the way, at least deep into the NCAA Tournament.

The referees claimed that CNU's Anderson kicked York's Collins, which prompted him to take a swing...they were both ejected, but it will be interesting to see if they were right about Anderson.  If they weren't, that was a HUGE mistake that cost CNU a lot more than it did York...that incident and the aftermath was a turning point in the game.

Also, as a sidenote, CNU and York were called for 14 and 16 fouls respectively...even more evidence to conclude that the excessive foul calls at York cost CNU the game.

After doing a little research, I'll concede that Wagner has a shot at MA POY...it may come down to him and Delaney of Johns Hopkins.  I really thought Swarthmore would have a player w/some impressive statistics, but they don't...the Wang kid at Hood is averaging 24 points a game, but it's "Hood", so he probably won't get any serious consideration.

I'll submit Matt Mancuso(Scranton) for MA POY consideration - 18 ppg, 10.7 rpg, 2.8 assists/g, 1.8 blocks/g, 1.7 steals/g; was hoping he could have done it in the NCAA tourney but they lost in the AQ final and their record most likely will not result in a Pool C selection.

I saw the York coach walking around after the game with the net around his neck. I congratulated him and wished the team well in the NCAA. I also mentioned that I was glad I would never see Wagner again in the Freeman. He laughed and said Wagner is the kind of guy who you love of he's on your team and hate when you play against him. Interesting mindset. I will give him benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to post championship giddiness. I simply replied I don't hate Wagner. I respected his play and asked coach to pass along best wishes to Wagner in life as I'm sure he will succeed in whatever he endeavors. He is one heck of a competitor.

Jason Aigner needs 2 more 3 pointers to break the all time CNU record held by Aaron McFarland. Aigner is only a junior.
