I think all of York's top players get hurt by being so well balanced as a team, at least in POY considerations. Look what happens in the NBA where the league's best team (Pistons) get 4 of their 5 starters in the All-Star game( but watch out for Iguodala in the Dunk contest, right 33?) The other good players in the CAC tend to have their numbers stand out a little more because they carry greater load.

I can say that without Baker, UMW would be wallowing through a season without a big man and Lee getting double teamed nightly. So Baker should have that considered about him. With York's talent, take away a starter and you still have a darn good team. Then you get into the old arguement of POY vs MVP of the League vs MVP of individual teams...etc....

Pick anyone of the 4 or 5 guys that get mentioned for POY and you'll have a good arguement either way.....

mwcgoonie,

Well put. I think each of your points are right on.

I guess we can all speculate until the vote is done after the CAC Championship.

I think the league has a big group of talented players that all have legit claims to a spot on the all league teams.

NOW I HAVE -2 KARMA?

I might get to D-mac level soon! ha!

Pat Coleman

I have observed that complaining about karma only attracts more smites.

Well goonie, that's also true of Catholic.

For the big men, for example, a guy like Sowden or Dwyer is sharing time with  Spirenberg, Wheeler, Baker, and Mish.  Of course he's gotten fewer minutes, shots, etc than guys on other teams.  

mwgoonie

Yeah, well - I guess its my new goal to get past d-mac.Ha!

my selection for first team all conference:

guard- lesemle of st marys (forgive spelling of name)                   
guard- lee
forward- bushey
forward baker
center- sowden
again i stated my team, not my players, by position the best team. look at the stats and tell me im wrong. as far as playing time goes, there isnt a player i know who dictates when he playes. that is a coaches decision but if you look at cau stats noone plays all that many minutes, satatlin avg-29, dwyer 25 and sowden 24. i still think for their production  their stats match up with anyone. dont sell these kids short.

Matt Letourneau

I don't think you could count Baker as a forward--he's really only played there since Fitzgerald got hurt. As far CUA representation, its a close call between Dwyer and Sowden.

Want2B, how can you leave McGowen off of the first team.  He has been dominating this year so far, especially since Bushey was injured at the beginning of the year.

Matt Letourneau

I wonder if the snow will postpone games tomorrow.

Pat Coleman

Ursinus and Johns Hopkins changed their game times to try to beat it.

If Goucher is at home and clinging to that after-dark start time they insist on for Saturday nights, it will be a bear to get it in.

No, Goucher is traveling to Catholic for the 4 pm start.

I found the discussion regarding the All-CAC fascinating. I agree that the balloting will be a hard one as there are deserving players throughout the CAC.

I found a comment or two about the difficulty of selecting the ROY as no one has really stood out. I find this hard to believe as I have stated that Jon Mowl of Gallaudet should be the front runner.

Gallaudet struggled in the past due to the absence of a true point guard who can control the tempo of the game and lead the team to play their best, both offensively and defensively. Gallaudet has surprised alot of people this year and still is in the running to play the first CAC playoff home game ever in their history in the CAC.

In addition, I believe that Jon Mowl is in 6 or 7 categories among individual leaders in the CAC. He is first in assists, not far behind from leading the CAC with steals, minutes played, points scored, assist to turnover ratio (he will get better but among the leaders), and free throw pct.

For those of you who saw the point guard Mowl play, I am sure you will agree. He is a tough kid but truly fun to watch. He made basketball exciting. When was it that Gally was in the running for CAC positioning (away from last place) and when was it that Gally won 13 games in a season with 3 more to go.

I would like to know of a freshman who made the same impact on a team?

woooooooooo

Sorry I had to stay away cuz the Bisons were winning....

My sources said that HBO was in town for Gallaudet University.  Maybe they'll show some toliet paper throwing by the fans and Coach Jimmy D cussing out the fans for it....  Yes it had happened before....  Ol' Jimmy thought it was a good idea to scream  and sign "Gawd damn it....thanks alot you dumb sh1ts...we got a techinal"...I didnt know much sign language back then but did try to make out his speech.

Anyway...about the Fighting Bisons....this is what been plaguing them for years...they DO NOT have true center.  Ever since that All-American nominee Mike Kent left, its been downhill.  Believe it or not, I'm glad to see Jackson and Haney making a great run  for their last year.  If only they had a 6'8" guy...  Apparently, they've recruited a "big fellow" from the west coast (Arizona? California?) for next year.... Mowl, Luther, and a recruit makes Gallaudet a strong presence for the next few years....

Coach T... yes Mowl is good...then again you are kind of biased cuz he is a relative of yours

Matt Letourneau

BisonKiller, keepin it real...as always.
