MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[MuMu]

Goucher College had 35 turnovers against MU and they still won, so i went to the rebounding that could be an issue. Corey Diamond will pick up on the boards when he is back in the line up.
Any early predictions of top 5 playes in the CAC??

Final from York,

York 70-Juniata 57

Chad McGowan goes over the 1,000 career point mark with his field goal with 8:54 left in the first half. He ends the game with his sixth double-double of the year with 29 points and 11 rebounds.

A really good all around game for YCP tonight, and a big moment for Chad McGowan who goes over 1000 points in his career. When it's all said and done Chad may be the best ever to put on the green and white.

Most importantly, however, was the way the team played together tonight, and they way they started to stick the outside shots against Juniata's zone. They passed well and played really good D and had their most complete game of the year. After McGowan's 29 and 11 the Sparts got big game from Joe Yeck who had 11 points and 6 assists. First year Spartan Nate Lankford played a very balanced game putting up 13 points grabbing 8 boards and pulling in 4 steals. Nick Brady continues to impress off the bench, tallying 10 points, 4 boards and 3 assists in only 19 minuets.

With as well as they played tonight, they still have a lot more to show us. Nate Fry saw his first minuets of the season, and when he gets back I think we'll see a more fluid execution of Coach's motion offense. Also, as Brady starts to be a bit more selfish and look to shoot rather then pass when he is open, he will bring a lot to the table.

Best EVER to play for York!

Oh man, I bet you're going to get an argument on that!

Easy Matt. I said "when it's all said and done he may be the best." I've been around York College hoops for a while and I've seen a lot of great players from Dan Johnson and Jeff Landis to Andy O'brien and Bushy & Fass. Chad is still just 8 games into his third year. I am willing to wait another 50 or 60 games until I say anything for sure.  In the end the numbers are only one part of it, the other things take some time to quantify.

[Matt Letourneau]

Well, I didn't say you'd get an argument from me--I don't know them well enough.  But I do remember the reverence for Andy O'Brien on here...

[kitchenrat]

There's plenty of reason to have reverence for a guy who scores more than 2000 points in a career. Andy was a real special player, and all four of his years are in the books so we can look back at his career. Chad is only 70 games into his career, so we have to wait and see.

Speaking of top players in the CAC and all time scoring. Mike Lee currently sits at 6th all time at MW with 1,284 points. He needs just 261 to take 2nd place alltime, something he should do this year. First place is a bit more difficult at nearly 600 points behind the leader. Either way, he'll be a top five all time scorer, he already owns the 3pt FGM all time, as well as 3pt fg attempted.

[kitchenrat]

That brings up a good question. Who is the leading scorer in the CAC history? It would have to be a guy who played all of his seasons in the CAC not before the conference was formed. York's all time leading scorer is O'brien with 2,001. Who is everyone else's leader since joining the CAC?

[kitchenrat]

Is he missing?

SU's leading scorer since joining the CAC is Casey Musik with 1207.  Segun Odumeru will pass that this season.  He currently has 1149.  Ray Williams might eclipse that mark as well.  SU's all time leading scorer is Andre Foreman who is also D3's all time leading scorer with 2940.  He is also the school's leading rebounder with 1313.
