MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Pat Coleman]

I think coaches would be the "regular panel" in most conferences. Don't know too many conferences where it's not a vote of the coaches.

HALF: GU lead 27-19

The Bison came to the game with great defense along with poor shooting performances but it didn't prevailed them from winning. Despite of poor shooting percentage but the Bison keeping on playing hard until end of the game. It was nice to see the bench players get more playing times in this game. The scoring was balance and spread to all member of the team. All of the players scored at least one point for the Bison tonight. Gallaudet as a team shot 19-68 (27.9%) FG, 4-24 (16.7%) 3FG, and 11-19 from FT line for 57.9%.

Uh, i believe All-CAC goes to 2 Forwards, a C, and 2 Guards. Or can it be all guards/small forwards?

Hopefully I "trust" the coaches to make wise decisions, i think there is a really nice field of players having a good year so the 2nd team all-CAC might end up being an even match to the first team. Also, i think it's been mentioned before but their should be an "all-star" type game at the end of the year for all the best players. Just a dream really.

anybody interested in how POY, all-CAC, etc. is selected should read the CAC handbook which sets it out. use this link

http://www.cacsports.com/handbook.htm

then click on its link to Awards. there are a number of pages, including the form of the ballot.

In a nutshell, the coaches vote, but not for a player on a coach's own team. it's not by position.  top 5 vote getters are first team. second five are the second team. POY vote is separate- top vote getter is POY.

Thanks for the info,

it seems ridiculous that its the top 5 vote getters, not by position, but i guess if there are no good centers in a particular year, no sense in awarding one.

It's a MU happy hour tonight from 4-8 at the green house in St. thomas tonight if any one wants to come. We will chat how the saints will beat CUA tomm

[kitchenrat]

Tonight for the Spartans it's the always tough visit to Gallaudet.  I'm interested to see how they fare on the road, considering the momentum they've been building up at home over the last few games.

I'm going to be in DC, down at Cap City Brewing Co, across from Union Station for a work thing, but it doesn't end until 9, so I guess there's no chance of me catching any of the game.

[Salem, VA]

Down the home strecth...
let's look at tonight's games...

Goucher at Salisbury....I think Salisbury should win this one, after 5 straight confrence losses and the return of one of there better players they should be good to go, a very scary first round opponent...
York at Gallaudet...York in a walk
Hood at St. Mary's....Hood should keep it going and run there record to 10-1 confrence.  A loss could help the 6-4's a win at Hood will get home court while being 3 up with 5 to play
Marymount at Catholic...Which Catholic team will show up?  The one that crushed York or the one that played against Gally...I guess we will see...

A good night of basketball ahead.  Hopefully York and Catholic both win to keep the pressure on Hood...

[kitchenrat]

I have this strange feeling that there's going to be a big time upset in the CAC tonight.

I think Goucher has an outside shot to win on the Shore...

I wouldn't call MMU over CUA a huge upset but to win at CUA would be big.

Gally over YCP would be huge even thought it's in DC because YCP has won the last 18 straight and 85% of the all time match up.

Hood is the one team I think most everyone is sure will win tonight. They are starting to get Top 25 votes and look to be pulling away from the pack.
But, that trip to St. Mary's City can be a long one, and Tyson Lesesne is due for a big game against a big foe.

Mark it down...

The Kitchenrat says take the Seahawks (+5) over the Blazers. 

[MuMu]

kitchenrat,
I think Goucher has a shot to.
I have St. Mary's by 4 over Hood.

I want MU by 4, and if they keep it close and there are no problems I would love that too

[bisonpride]

Kitchenrat,

Capital City Brewery is very good resturant. I love the food and service there. Hope that you will enjoy it there tonight. Maybe you can see the second half of the game if it's finish at or before 9pm. Union Station is very close to the campus. Come and watch us upset the York. I was bit surprised you say that but that's what I am hoping for tonight, other upset win for the Bison.
