MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

It's nice to see York playing well.  I havent been at a game all year due to many things (not a student anymore) and a lot of travel but what happened to Hood's big man?  Is he out for the year?  Does that make York the favorite?

As we have chatted about on this board before - and I wrote about in one of Around the Nation columns, Gutekunst is academically ineligible this semester. Not sure what all happened, but he didn't think there was much of a chance to return. The sadder part, this is his senior year.

And I don't know if York is the easy favorite, but they are at the top. UMW will certainly have something to say about the top of the conference. And Hood has been fighting until late to stay up there. Bad losses to SAL, MU, Wesley, and GAL need to be avoided for these teams to feel comfortable.

Thanks Scott for the information. 

They have 7 regular season games and maybe 3 more games in the CAC tournament.  McGowan could very well break it during the CAC final.  It probably would have been a lock if McGowan would have played those first two games of this season

Anyway enough about individual, it seems as though York has a big week.  If they can go into Mary Wash on Saturday I think they would seperate themselves as a slight favorite going into the 2nd half of the conf. schedule.  That being said, it seems more wide open then it has been in recent years. 

I think you will see Hood start to become a middle of the rung team in the league.

York a 10 point win over Villa Julie and the Mary Wash blowout of Hood sets the showdown for Saturday afternoon at Mary Wash.  The blowout over Hood makes this a two team race for the one seed in the conference.  A win by either team the inside track on home court which would be huge. 

York continues to play well as McGowan paces this team to get this team to a 3rd championship in 4 years.  McGowan is quickly going down as the BEST player the CAC has ever seen

With York winning in OT the last time, this seems to be a toss-up on Saturday in Fredericksburg. The game should hinge on how well UMW shoots from the outside to open the middle for some cutting. If the Eagles can get Altman in the game quickly, they may be able to get some fouls on McGowan and company.

Still looks to be a great D-3 game. Wish I could be there!

with 1:46 left, Spartan killer Matt Hale drains another three as York's 14-point lead has been trimmed to three at 76-73. Sounds like this is everything a championship caliber game should be.
