MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Pat Coleman]

I'm about a 6.  I've shot in the 70s for a couple of years now.  And I teach about 100 students a year so that is fun, too.

Matt, it is beautiful out here.  No doubt.  But I do miss d3 ball.  There isn't any for over 100 miles.  And I honestly don't have as much time now seeing as I'm teaching at three different colleges and coaching ball and tennis. 

Was Keystone not eligible this year?  And if they were, how did they not get in and Villa Julie did?

I don't know when I'll get back but enjoy the tournament and always feel free to email if you'd like.

Hoot,

Welcome back. You've been on the golf course too long. You can't parachute back in on Selection Sunday and ask stupid questions.

Take a look at the Mid-Atlantic regional page and tell me what you notice about Keystone.

VJC had a higher regional winning percentage than Lincoln, and that is one of the primary criteria...and it weighed heavily over a weaker QOWI.  

Pretty simple to me.

Bethany .833
VJC .810
Lincoln .750
Maryville .682
-----------------------------
Chapman .714
Huntingdon .667

York vs. York......record wise it looks like a favorable matchup for the Sparts....I think they again are in a nice bracket......would York host the winner of the CUA v. Widener game???

[Matt Letourneau]

Not unless you want to fly from DC to Norfolk.

3 hours...and change, probably...

BUT...do you really think Catholic will get shipped to the South instead of the Mid-Atlantic? (Obviously Pat, you do, because you wouldn't have made that projection).  But what are the chances?

Seems like another trip to York could be in the CARDS (terrible pun, I'm sorry) too...

So if I read the brackets right, Catholic is playing Widener at York, PA.   York is playing...York (NY).

Looks like I called that one.  Who needs all that bracketology stuff?  

Pretty decent draw for Catholic.  From what I know, Widener is good, but beatable.  They don't seem to be playing their best basketball late in the season, either.
Ahem.

Heheh, York and Catholic might play in the 2nd round... fantastic.  (York PA, for the record)  Beautiful matchup.

I called play by play for a York (PA) vs York (NY) in the coaches vs cancer tournament in either '96 or '97, it drove me crazy. I kept referring to my school only as York and my color commentator (and my best friend) kept giving me crap on air about not differentiating. By the second half it was just Spartans and Cardinals or Pennsylvania or New York.

I didn't see any common opponents between the two York's and so we will just have to wait and see what the game holds. I think that regional is interesting as you a get possible York (Pa.) Catholic rematch, and down the road the chance of Villa Julie going up against CUA or YCP. I'm glad to know there will be more basketball at the Kitchen, because the game against Salisbury obviously left a bad taste in my mouth. Does anyone have any idea when the games times will be set. Scott I'm looking at you on this one. By the way did you watch that disc yet.

I hope the loss to Sally has the guys refocused and ready to go out and play as hard as they did last year, cause I would love to do some traveling through the month of March. GO YORK!

Thanks for you congratulations on Lincoln Lincoln finally making the NCAA tournament this year. 

Two losses to New Jersey City University doomed the Lions last year.  After waiting an entire year, I'm happy for my alma mater, and exicited about their chances.

[Matt Letourneau]

You know, on its bracket page, the NCAA has the wrong record listed for Catholic...they took away a win.  It should be 21-6, not 20-6. 

The last time CUA played Widener in the NCAA Tournament, they beat them and went on to win a National Championship.

[coachhootner]

Sorry Pat!  I knew it had to be something of the sort.  Too much golf, sunshine and jc ball.  And as a few others in the 'know' have stated (and I'll trust them on this), it looks like a favorable bracket for CUA and/or York.

Are there any other predominantly African American D3 institutions in the U.S. besides Lincoln?  What a great story that would be to see them go all the way! 

Villa Julie would be another great story as a school that is primarily a commuter school (or at least has been for years) can also find a way to dance.

I'm sure there are other great stories, I just haven't been around enough in the last couple years to know them all. 

Howabout that high school kid who hit 6 3's?  Did anyone else see that?  I was laughing and crying at the same time.  Wow, what an amazing story.  That is what this great game is all about. 

Good luck to York and Catholic.  Does York still play on the kitchen?  I thought they were supposed to have a new gym?

Everyone enjoy the tournament.  March Madness has arrived.

Sorry again for being 'stupid' Pat.   

[Matt Letourneau]

Yeah, they still play in that place.  Last year for it. 

Catholic's going to have a war to get to the 2nd round, so the last thing I'm doing is looking past that.  But it seems to be that a Catholic-York battle would be a good, fitting way to close down that gym, whichever way it goes.

how'd you get that pic of Judge Smails in your signature?
