so it seems as if there are 11-12 locks...4-5 probables..and 3-4 maybes already. So I guess it looks like the fat lady is warming up her singing voice for York huh?

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · March 02, 2008, 01:43:42 PM

Yeah... I really don't see York getting in. If they do, I would be very surprised.

But the NCAA has surprised me before. That being said... I doubt I will be surprised on this one.

so how many at large bids are there? i know 17 in pool C, but there any in any other pools? the women have 3 in pool B

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · March 03, 2008, 02:15:37 AM

There are four Pool B bids for the men... but that doesn't affect the CAC in any way.

And who'd have thought that Landmark gets two teams in, and the CAC one.

Such is the nature of Pool B, though Moravian and York have similar resumes.

Might be hard for the teams and followers of the three visiting teams to find hotels in Greensboro. I wonder if the committee knew the Women's ACC tournament is being held at the Greensboro Coliseum this weekend also. And if that would have affected their decision at all?

There are a lot of hotels in Greensboro and the surrounding area. I live about 3 miles from Guilford and know the area well - if I can help anyone with directions, hotel and restaurant recommendations, I will. As an alumnus and Quaker Club member, however, I will be rooting for the Quakers - hope all of you will forgive me for that! Safe travels to all. Peace

Its always Widener for CAC teams in the tournament, isn't it?

Go Seahawks!

kitchenrat · March 08, 2008, 11:23:16 AM

I hope St. Mary's takes it to Widener!

Matt,

There's not too much love lost for Widener. They knocked you guys out two years ago and then closed out Wolf Gym with a win over the Spartans. Even though we lost, it was one of the most exciting college basketball games I have had the chance to witness.

St. Mary's has a ton of talent and certainly could make a run in the tournament. It will be a very interesting game tonight.
