What's CUA men going to do this year??

Matt Letourneau

Good question.  They're solid.  They lost a lot last year, but they've got 5 seniors who look ready to step it up, led by Dwyer and Fumai.  The question is going to be depth.  At guard they are in good shape, with Olivero, Stolz and Yarborough.  They will need some contributions from the big freshman, but they've got at least two good looking recruits inside.

Its a wide open race this year, I'm confident CUA will be right there at the end.  They are going up to Albright this weekend for a tournament--if they end up facing Albright on Saturday, it will be a good test.

I can't wait for the tip off of the season. I dropped by YCP practice the other day and as much fun as an intersquad game can be it just isn't the same.

CUA opens up tommorow night at the Albrigh Tournament, but when is everybody else playing their first game? Everybody else getting going this weekend as well?

Salem, VA

York opens up the Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center on Saturday Night at 7:30 against Villa Julie.  Gotta tell ya though, it feels different after the last two seasons.  Even the gym, granted the new Wolf is better, there is something about that kitchen tile gym that really made it a true home court.  Lots of talent this year but will it all come together?  It will be intresting to see or Brad and Chad react to the different pieces that now surround them.  Most of all, who is going to be the next Kenny Fass.  The toughest and most important part of both NCAA tournament teams.  I guess we will see.  Good Luck to all teams as we embark on a new season.

UMW opens with a tough test against Messiah at the Dickinson College Pizza Hut Tipoff Tournament tonight at 8.

Unfortunately, the UMW SID will not be there to partake in free Pizza Hut pizzas.

Definitely some mixed emotions going on this weekend on campus at York. I love the new building, and when it is packed and the place is jumpin it's going to be a great home to play in. But, I too will miss the kitchen. I watched 12 seasons of Spartan basketball there and saw some great players and awesome teams.

As for this year's edition of the Sparts, I think there is a lot to look forward to. The answer to who this year's Kenny Fass is may very well be Nate Lankford. I think Chad can only get better, which should be very scary for opponents. And really good things can happen when you have a group of guys who a lot of people want to write off. We lost a hell of a lot from last year, but this group could be really special too. Just 34 hours till the men tip off and 8 ½ till the Women open the place up!

For anyone interested in Catholic, there are a ridiculous number of games notes for the tourney games on the CUA website:

http://www.cuacardinals.com/sports/mbkb/2006-07/game_notes/2006-07_MBB_Game_Notes-_Game_1-2.pdf

Guess the new SID went all out! (I wonder when Catholic beat Maryland to tip off the season?)

Among the fascinating things I learned is that Catholic is the 6th most winningest D3 basketball program this decade (167-41, .803). 

I know we keep saying it, but its great to see all this promotional work being done for the program.

Thanks... I thought we had to subscribe to something. Leave it to the nonfootball guy to foul up the first day.
