MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Matt - that's like saying Phil Jackson should have been Coach of the Year every year the Bulls won the NBA Championship!

I don't agree. If you are expected to be the best... and you are the best... I think it is hard to just hand the award to that person and say congrats.

[bbsquared]

Also, please Coach Wood, recruit a big man or two, would it kill you to do so?

UMW has at least three guys that are 6' 6" or better on the roster. One of those guys is 6'6" and 270 and he doen't even travel with the squad. The three ball is what is being relied upon to win every game. When that doesn't work there seems to be no other option.

[Matt Letourneau]

Yeah, but the flip side of that is should Phil Jackson NEVER be the Coach of the Year?  Should Joe Torre NEVER be Manager of the Year?

I wouldn't normally say that the league winner should get the award, but this year, with the amount of parity we have, anybody can win the league.  So it comes down to who gets their teams prepared and what steps up during crunch time.

In any case, for now, I'm just throwing that out there--I'm not committed to it.  Depends on what happens.

I must say your right  ExMU 14 Hood has slowed down and I have stuck to my guns, but forgett about HOOD. If your any team in the CAC you dont want to see Mu in the first round of the playoffs. They are the hottest team in the League right now. York is always tough because they make sure the game is played at their tempo.

I think this year MU is kinda of competitive.

[ex_mu14]

Hopefully, MU can get at least the first round playoff game at home...I dont think you have to win 20 games per season to be considered competitive....I guess it depends on who you ask...

UMW's Baker, Bruen Named to CoSIDA Academic All-District Teams
FREDERICKSBURG, VA - University of Mary Washington seniors Justin Baker and Debbie Bruen have been named to the Academic All-District basketball teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America in the district. Baker was named to the men's first team, and will be eligible for Academic All-America honors, while Bruen was named to the third team.
Baker, who carries a 3.49 overall GPA as a business major, leads UMW in scoring again this season, and recently scored his 1,000th career point. After transferring from the College of William & Mary, Baker has been equally impressive on the floor and in the classroom, leading UMW to a 13-7 record this season.
Bruen, who earned All-America honors on the floor last season, adds academic all-district honors this year. A psychology major, Bruen carries a 3.29 overall GPA. The reigning CAC Player of the Week, Bruen leads UMW in scoring for the fourth consecutive season.
The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) selects Academic All-America teams in 12 programs. A first team, second team and third team are selected in both the University (Division I and I-AA) and College (Division II, III and NAIA) Divisions.


BBsquared - they have 2 guys on their roster Whitworth (who is scoring but from the outside) and Oliven (whose seen little action). They both are at 205, 210 lbs (at least listed, at this point in the season, who knows). Not quite bohemoths. And a 6'6" 270 guy? where? I haven't seen them. Unless you're talking about their assistant coach, Hairston, who I believe has already put in a very good 4 years including a NCAA tourney run in '03. Oh, and they're both Sophmores. So I believe my points are valid: no inside game (whitworth from outside, remember???) and they dont stay long. They're sophs not seniors.

It's been an interesting year so far in the league with so many teams getting hot at different times. The parity of the league is impressive, and should make for a very interesting tourney. It will be interesting to observe at the end of the conference season how many regular season sweeps there will be. As a Hood fan I know that they have only swept Gallaudet so far, with 3 teams left that they have beaten once. Hopefully Hood can get back on track and get 2 of their last 3, it's all about momentum and Home court going into the tourney.

[MuMu]

ExMu14,
Fred Stanback has played very well this year, that was a great snag by Coach Mac. You going to the York game on sat.

Hoodfan to sweep a team is pretty tough. Its just what you stated whos hot and when do they play them.

Matt's posting like norm.. he's backkk, I'm glad you had a kid right around the Mu CUA game.haha I heard it was a great game to be at

[Dan Johnson]

Kitchenrat...you going to be at the game tonight?  I am getting ready to head down there.  Gotta love living in Pa now!!  You going to change your name now that the kitchen is no more?  Perhaps Grumbacherrat...not the same.

[MuMu]
