Any final from Salisbury??? Did it get postponed??

The game is scheduled for 7:30 tonight, I haven't seen anything about it being cancelled yet, so i guess they are going to play it if they traveled down there....

Catholic 80 Goucher 79.
Scott Fumai led Catholic with 27 points on 6 3s. He was 8-13FG (6-11 3pt.). Shane Sowden scored the first 4 points of the game for Catholic to become the 34th member of Catholic's 1,000 point club. He finished with 14 and 9 rebounds.
Goucher led at half 36-35. Catholic came out in the second half and built a 14 point lead with 5:21 remaining. Goucher started a barrage of desperation 3s to make it exciting in the end. Each team made 13 3s for the game with Catholic shooting 13-29 and Goucher shooting 13-28. James Russo led all scorers with 28 and 8 rebounds. Jonathan Garritt scored 27 on 9-22 shooting.
Catholic is now 16-6 (8-4 CAC) and will travel to Salisbury on Wednesday.

Catholic 80 Goucher 79

Crazy finish. Catholic was up 11, but Russo and Garritt went back into Superman mode and hit a series of ridiculous 3's--include a bank shot from an angle from NBA range.

I don't have a stat sheet, but I think Garritt had around 30 and Russo at least 24 or so. In the beginning of the game, you could argue that CUA's defense wasn't playing tight enough, but in the 2nd half both those guys were well defended, they just made a lot of low percentage shots with guys in their faces. That must have been how they beat Mary Wash---I can't imagine both those guys go off like that every game, but when they are both clicking they put on a show.

On Catholic's side, the Cardinals actually played pretty well. Free throws were a problem, they missed the first of 2 one and one's in the last few minutes. But Fumai and Sowden each had good games. Congratulations to Shane for scoring his 1,000th point tonight---ironically on a jump shot, which is typically not his forte.

Dwyer hurt his ankle and didn't play quite as much. I think he's fine and he returned and seemed to be moving ok, but he was a little out of rhythm. He did hit some nice corner jumpers. Mish had some nice looks inside too.

So the close game (or finish at least) really was a product of both teams playing well. It wasn't like York where Catholic (in my view) didn't play very well and lacked intensity---they played hard today and excecuted pretty well. They just ran into what had to be one of Goucher's best games of the season. If Russo and Garritt made those shots every night, there is no way they'd be a 1 win team. In addition they got the line a LOT.

When I seem some stats, I'll post them up. Catholic heads down to Salisbury for a tough game Wed night.

Wow, Dave, what a promotion!

I think the purpose of this board is for anybody to post their opinion, regardless of how misguided it might be, however they wish to share their thoughts.

There is no rule that says that d3hoops.com "employees," or people who work tangentially around the site, cannot post their own opinions.

Even if D-mac did vote for the top 25, there is no reason he can't rip Catholic all day and praise Goucher all night.

Allfirst, there may be no official rule, but there are such things as professionalism and ethics which apparently don't apply to this chat board as I have been smited with a negative karma for having questioned it.

UMW is playing at Salisbury...
Games were at 5:30 and 7:30 because of SU's alumni game, which they ended up not playing. UMW women won by 18, and the game ran long (of course)... I'll try and update as best I can as we go along.

Details from YCP..

The Spartans received a game-high 28 points from sophomore Chad McGowan. McGowan continues to be a force for the Spartans as he was 12-for-22 from the floor and 4-for-6 from the free throw line while he also pulled down six rebounds and collected three steals in 29 minutes. Senior Brandon Bushey also played well as he had 15 points and four rebounds in the win. Bushey was 6-for-10 from the floor and 3-for-7 from downtown. Senior Kenny Fass added 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals off the bench for the Spartans. Senior Paddy Lee chipped in with eight points, six boards, and three assists.

Tyson Lesesne, the leading scorer in the Capital Athletic Conference, tallied 19 points and three assists for the Seahawks. Lesesne was 7-for-16 from the floor including 3-for-6 from three. He nailed his two free throws as York held him to almost three points under his season average. T.J. Jordan added 17 points, four rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and two assists to the St. Mary's attack. Jordan went a hot 5-for-9 from three but overall made just 6-of-15 from the floor. Valdez Preston was the third Seahawk in double figures with 12 points as he was 4-for-7 from three for the game. Dan Engelstad notched a game-high 10 assists in addition to scoring seven points and grabbing five rebounds.

UMW/SAL going to OT...
Eagles miss three foul shots in last minute. UMW was up three with 3 seconds left, and fouled. Williams makes 1st FT, misses 2nd, but SAL gets rebound and puts in tying hoop at buzzer.
More to come...

mwcsid · February 11, 2006, 09:48:54 PM

Now going to double OT in Salisbury. Pierce hit a three late to give UMW the lead, but Odumeru hits a baseline 3 with less than 3 seconds left to tie it again...

mwcsid · February 11, 2006, 09:56:56 PM

Got cut off, but I think Salisbury won in double OT...
Too many missed FTs and offensive boards late allowed by UMW today.

mwcsid · February 11, 2006, 10:10:35 PM

SAL 95, UMW 88 in 2 ot...
Lee and Pierce 25 each and Baker 22 for UMW. That's all the info I have right now.

Matt Letourneau · February 11, 2006, 10:12:20 PM

Wow.

Good news for Cardinals fans...but now they've got to go down and beat Salisbury!

UMW continues to amaze me with how they hang in games considering how many minutes their starters play. I can't wait to see the sheet from today's game...2 OT for Baker probably meant 47-48 minutes.
