MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[CoachMarker]

guise..what up?  more importantly, what are the rosters for the york alumni game on saturday, january 28??? 

[kitchenrat]

I have to echo the sentiments of the big Fella on this one and say that some people on the board are taking our remaining games a bit to lightly. Keep in mind that all things being equal York is a better team than Salisbury 9 out of 10 game and we lost to them this year. CUA is a VERY VERY tough team any time you play them but this game is perticularlly tough.
#1 Its in DC
#2 Most of the guys on the roster where there last year for the 3 losses to the Sparts and you can be sure they don't want to lose a 4th in a row.
#3 They are well coached and know that with their big men they can match up well against alot of teams.
#4 Last but not least: With St. Mary's missing their star player and going to 1950's slowdown ball on Saturday York didn't get their best tune up for this tilt.

I think this game may come down to how well Singer and McGowan can keep Sowden from going nuts.

As for Fans at Goucher, CUA or York i can say a lot of crap gets said in poor taste at almost every gym I have ever been in. I don't think anyone has the ability to say their fans are ALWAYS bad or good. You can't let a few half drunk zelots set the tone for what all fans are like.

Truer words have never been written.

I think all of you really have no clue.  Number 1 get a life and stop living and dying by the CAC talk.  York is clearly the best team no matter what anyone says.  Until someone beats them there is no talking from other schools, your all 2nd rate and goucher is just a joke.  It's funny how in one year Goucher gave York there first loss to not being able to win or field a team.  8 players what a joke of a school.  No matter what conference they are in they will be terrible.  Another thing is that York is playing there best ball, granted most games have been at home but so what.  It is the hardest place to play.  Ask the last 26 teams to come in their to win a game.  I think all of you are foolish to think that York will battle anyone.  I want to hear all of you when York wins both  this week and they are the class of the conference.  Salem or bust
Peace

Only one person said that. I think all of you need to all of learn how to all of read all of the posts.

It must be an age thing, but I can't make much sense out of the post above. Somebody please help me ....

So... we should only hear from Salisbury??? York is a good team... but don't get to high on yourself... your only going to come crashing to earth harder if (god forbid) you lose.

Goucher is a joke? Do you want to start chatting about the struggles YCP has gone through in its history. First time in nine years Goucher will have a losing record... and only the fifth time in the schools 16 year history (three of those losing seasons in the first three years of the program).

8 players what a joke of a school. No matter what conference they are in they will be terrible.

Wow... you seriously have no clue!? YCP only has a 21-15 lead in the overal matchup... but, let's look at the CAC historic results:

Regular Season Champs (including season splits):
CUA - 10
GOU - 3
YCP - 3
MMT - 1
SAL - 1
UMW - 1

CAC Tournament Champs:
CUA - 5
GOU - 4
MMT - 2
SMC - 1
SAL - 1
UMW - 1
YCP - 1

But, thanks for reminding me Goucher did beat YCP at the SRC last year. I forgot that. And if I do remember... Goucher finished 18-9 last year. And heck, the season they finished 13-13... they upset CUA in the semi-finals and lost to Marymount in the championship.

You're right though... Goucher must really be horrible!
By the way, how long have you been at YCP??? A few months?

Don't worry... I will be here to congratulate the Spartans if they continue to win... but I will not congratulate you... since the last time I checked the media guide... you weren't on the team.

Also, Coach Jeff Gamber has put together a fine squad in the past few years. Here is hoping that they make another run to Salem... but since that is a month and half away... a bit premature to bet on it!

I'm not sure why The York 06's coming on so nasty  but I'd like to divert the discussion a bit -

d-mac - the CAC doesn't recognize Regular Season Champs, does it? Is your point simply to rank who's had the best regular season records?

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Yeah - the tournament champ is declared the champ of the conference - thus the automatic bid.

I was just pointing out how many times teams finished on top of the conference before the tournament... and then the difference to the title (YCP 3 to 1, GOU 3 to 4, CUA 10 to 5). Just a comparison type stat.

[cuabigdog]

well the CATHOLIC CURSE has once again returned with the week 7 TOP 25 out and CUA getting NO VOTES at all... well i seem to remember 2001 when they finished the year at #14 and look what happened !!! it doesn't matter where in the top 25 you are but in what spot you finish your conf . tourney only time will tell...and any team can beat any team on any given day...

[Dan Johnson]

I know that it is not in the correct spot, but kudos to Mary Washington girls team for being 7th.  I let that one slip by until recently and I always enjoy when the CAC is well-represented.

Have you forgotten who owns the site (and the poll)?  Somehow a conspiracy against Catholic seems a bit of a stretch!

Beat York on Wednesday and I guarantee things will change quite drastically.

[Coach C]

WT -

It's not an age thing.  I can't find a point there either.

I think Catholic hangs at least one banner at DuFour declaring themselves regular season basketball champs, though.

Maybe it is just the hubris of youth coming from this young York student/fan but some of us don't need to sound like we are being interviewed after a WWF match. (Maybe I'm dating myself there because when I was in College it was still called that.) Call it bandwagon jumping or over exuberance but some people have a tendency to be most vocal when their team is 13-1 and no where to be found during the 6-20 seasons. I got a bit of both during my four years in school ('94-'95 to '97-'98) and my attendance only ever declined when I moved away for a few years.
    I don't understand people who want to treat this like life and death. It reminds me of a guy who spotted me in a YCP sweat shirt about 10 years ago in the parking lot of the Hershey park arena who wanted get in my face because he went to Leb Val and I went to York. Neither of us played basketball at our schools but you would have thought that I was a Hatfield and he a McCoy. I would have loved to meet up with him again in the Kitchen a few weeks ago when York was pounding his team but I somehow doubt he still follows the team now that they aren't the best team in the area. I also love the notion of a person who has 4 posts coming on and talking trash and then telling other people that they need to get a life for basically being more well versed in the goings on in the CAC than he or she is.
   All that being said I do think the game tomorrow against CUA is a big one and I think that both teams will bring their A games. If I can juggle my work schedule I was thinking about going and hopping someone can tell me what would be the best option. Should I drive or take the Metro?
