MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

Mr. Ypsi · January 10, 2007, 12:20:40 AM

The first Posters' Poll of 2007 is up (multi-region topics). While we have 'fairly' good geographical diversity, the closest we've got to you is an NJAC voter (who didn't vote the first week!). If you follow d3 hoops on a NATIONAL level (or would like to nominate someone who does), we'd like to hear from you!

Doing it right (and we try!) is a bit of work, but also a lot of fun (and very educational). We are NOT in competition with the d3hoops.com poll (recognized by us as the 'gold standard'), but discrepancies between the polls can lead to very interesting discussions. If you think you might be interested, please check the board.

Votes are for games through Sunday, with ballots due by 8pm (EST) on Monday (though I often hold the polling booth open a bit later hoping for more ballots).

For more info (or to submit a ballot) PM 'Mr. Ypsi'.

well it seems that the Catholic Curse is back.. new top 25 out and not even others receiving votes.. at 10-2 you'd think they'd at least get a mention... the same goes for Mary Wash... politics at it's best i guess.. well it doesn't matter where you are in the polls at this point but where you finish in March

Curse? Curse you. Give me a break.

Politics? From the poll that is RUN by a Catholic alumnus?

Here's a hint -- maybe people are looking at the home loss to the 5-7 team and are wondering how good Catholic is. Catholic hasn't beaten a single team that has any votes. So how good are they, exactly?

Get real. Sheesh.

Here are the latest Massey Ratings for the CAC. These work very similar to an RPI. This should give people at least some idea of where people are at.

Overall Conference Rank is 18.

Here are the Massey Standings for the CAC. I'll put rank and Strength of Schedule (SOS).

1. Catholic Rank: 40 SOS: 101
2. Mary Washington 44 SOS: 149
3. Hood 58 SOS: 116
4. York 116 SOS: 140
5. Salisbury 121 SOS: 191
6. Goucher 183 SOS: 50
7. Marymount 272 SOS: 281
8. Galluadet 381 SOS: 377

Catholic's best win is a Road Win against #34 Scranton.

It's where your ranked at the end of the year, but when I did glance at the top 25, I was amazed that CUA or any CAC teams ranked.

MU beats Hood by 6 tonight and gets rolling for the 2nd half of the season

ycp · January 10, 2007, 02:05:14 PM

Live Stats will be available for tonight's York College - St. Mary's College game at the Grumbacher Center in York.

Does this mean Catholic won't find a spot in the BCS?
Or do we get the Catholic school exemption like Notre Dame?

MuMu · January 10, 2007, 05:53:50 PM

UMW had shots for 3s to tie two different times down the court in the waning seconds and didn't make either

cac · January 11, 2007, 06:55:01 PM

MW appears to be a stationary shooting team coming of high post screens and not a very athletic team. Only time they were really efective last night against Salisbury was when they spread the floor late hitting 4 of 5 late 3's to get back in the game. Were hurt on the offensive glass. Coach Wood appears to have calmed some and didn't show much emotion. Good win for SU after a recent two game slide.
