Crazy weekend.

I gotta tell you... two point losses suck! They suck more when you have a shot to win, and more than that if the ref's did blow a call.

This it the type of year where a 7 seed could win the tourny and be the only CAC school in the dance.

I wasn't at the York game so I am not sure about a foul or not.  That being said, regardless of who is playing, if a kid gets fouled, then it should be called.  Whether it is with ten minutes or two seconds.  If not, then the game gets out of hand because I will tell you that when I played, if I knew the refs weren't going to call it, I would hack the crap out of you.  So you can't let it come to that.  I hate to hear about when that happens and it doesn't matter who is playing.  I know that I have disagreed with Matt in the past on reffing complaints (you've been really good this year, by the way, Matt!!), but I do agree with him here.  It drives me nuts, too when they decide to let them play out a game.  It seems like they forget sometimes that it is not a twenty point game and that the no call they just made could have made a difference in the game.  Cacsportnut, you sort of contradict yourself in my opinion.  You want to see the kids win it on their own, but by not making a call, the refs in fact are helping with the win.  Put the kid on the foul line if you want to see the players win or lose a game.  Just my two cents worth.
On a side note, I was at the Vermont/Binghamton game on Sunday and said hello to Coach Lonergan.  His team reminded me of a bigger, stronger, more talented Catholic team.  They play the same way and coach is just as intense!!!  They go the win...and for the record, I am a Vermont fan, so I was happy to see them get the 'W'!.

Hey Dan, any chance we'll be seing ol #32 at the alumni game on Saturday? I know it's a hell of a Drive and all but it would be good to see you again.

Matt Leon is coming in from Philly to do the PA, just like old times.

I am planning on attending on Saturday.  I can't wait to hear Matt call out our names!!!  As for me, unfortunately, I had knee surgery three weeks ago so I am not 100%, but you might be seeing some limited action.  Please come up and say hello.  See you then!

Hood will crumble, they have some tough road games coming up, Will give them credit with the wins in there own gym, CAC on the road maybe next year Hood. They have to play at Gally for the first time, thats a loss.

Muuuuu lets gooooooooo

exmu 14 where were you on a honeymoon or something

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Mumu... in all seriousness... what are you smoking?!

Secondly, how can anyone from Marymount... fans... players... etc. make any comments about any team in this conference? On paper... Marymount should be one of the top teams in the CAC this year; the past several years; most of the past decade. But, the Saints have yet to put together a season or a stretch of games where they play well as a unit and as well as the expectations (no matter how LOW).

So, to then say Hood will crumble... when they are doing in thier first season in the conference what Marymount hasn't been able to do in YEARS... is ridiculous! Do you remember your conference standing right now? Second to last... only one game ahead of Gallaudet!

Also... Hood's "home" games are more like road games anyway. The team has to pack their bags, pack basketball balls, and dress in a strange locker room. If you don't believe me... listen to Coach Dickman on Hoopsville last night.

OH... and Hood has proven they can win on the road in the CAC... or did you miss the score from Saturday when the Blazers came from 18 points back AT York to defeat the Spartans ON THE ROAD!!! Or the win at Catholic!

And the Saints have Gallaudet on Tuesday... concentrate on beating them before you predict someone else losing to the Bison.

I am certainly not from Hood... though I am certainly impressed with them. However, I am more unimpressed with posters who post stupid comments - especially from schools like Marymount who struggle to find .500.

I agree with D-MAC, i do believe Hood will lose some road games but they may have the one seed in this tourney.

d-mac- they did not be york at grumbacher, the game was at Hood.

I think these next 4 games will tell us how good York can be.  The talent is there it is putting it all together... IF they do that, they can be a very dangerous 4 or 5 seed

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Terribly sorry... not sure why I thought the Hood/York game was at Grumbacher. I have honestly been thinking that for three days! Jeez!

Anyway... Hood is not going to win the next nine conference games (three at home) without taking some losses. But if they don't finish in the top three (heck, top two), I would be shocked!

Marymount on the other had... might not even make the CAC Tournament this season (I don't see any "play-in" games scheduled... so I assume only the top eight teams make the tournament)!

Big games tomorrow.
Would love to see a classic Goolrick crowd at the game tomorrow. It can really mess with oppossing teams. CUA, however, seems to be one of a few teams that can handle it. Also, would love to see the Fumai brothers square off, ha! Actually, with Lee and Fumai, and Dwyer for that matter having had poor games Saturday, would love to see them really go at it top notch. If the teams stay close to the end we could be in for a real treat, heck, its always a treat, its just better when the Eagles win. Late in a close game, CUA could control the game by going inside and getting to the foul line. MW is never out of a close game because they have 5 guys who can hit the 3 ball to cut leads quickly or put daggers in the opponents.

Hood is in not in the clear to be the #1 seed as they have tough games, home or away. Don't forget, MW already beat them once. And in my opinion, any of the top 4 :o or 5 seeds could take the crown in the tourney. We'll see who's ready the play and which coaches make the adjustments in the home stretch.

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

Maybe the curse is someone whining for votes they don't deserve. I thnk what went around came around, eh?

We stayed quiet, and that didn't work either :-)

mwgoonie

ha, neither did losing to SMC!

MAtt, who you got tonight?

ex_mu14

Since the league is wide open I wouldnt count any team out at this point. Marymount needs to put three or four solid games together before i say anything. I read the board every day but I dont make predictions like you MuMu...

D-Mac

What has Goucher done since 1998? Goucher is 6-9 this year so you shouldnt be talking either! Marymount is a game out of 6th place and two game out of 3rd or 4th. I guess no one from Marymount is allowed to make an opinion or prediction on this board since Marymount is second to last in the conference.

MuMu

ExMu14 I predict what I feel and think, thats life right. how did the alumni game go?

ex_mu14

I missed the alumni game b/c my high school team had a game Saturday. I heard the turn out was great though. It came down to another buzzer beater again this year.

FYI

Catholic is recruiting two of my players at St.Stephen's & St. Agnes School in Alexandria, VA. I can't believe I'm helping CU out...haha
