MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Matt Letourneau]

Yeah, I remember that well.  The Widener-Catholic game the night before your game was a very good game, too...Catholic had a chance to win it on the final shot but didn't get a good look.  I certainly wasn't rooting for Widener against York, but in a way I sort of felt better--miserly loves company and they did the same thing to you guys they did to us!

Wow! Another great game out of St. Mary's. Talk about some hot hands, they just don't miss anymore.

[Jeff Gamber]

Congrats to St Mary's. Three teams from Middle Atlantic region in the sweet 16....almost 4 with King's coming close.

Keep going Seahawks!

In a way doesn't this run by St Mary's show the depth of the CAC.  Maybe York did deserve a bid after all!!!

I was just taking a look at the season recap for Millsaps to see what St. Mary's has in store for them and I noticed something that reminded me of the Terps run to the final 4 the year before they won the title. In that year they played George Mason, Georgia State and Georgetown in a row, Millsaps first three games are Maryville, Mary Hardin-Baylor and St. Mary's.

I know I'm a huge dork for realizing this, but I need to vent my dorky thoughts and what better place than an internet posting board.

[Dan Johnson]

Wow, you need a hobby!  But in your scenario, wouldn't St. Mary's lose?  I will always root for the CAC!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

In case anyone missed it... St. Mary's was on the articles in the Around the Nation... I will warn you, I wrote it... so consider that while reading it .

nice write-up 

[kitchenrat]

Dan,

I do need a hoby. That's for sure. I root for UMD in DI so that year and the title year the next season always stick out in my head. I wasn't thinking of it as a prediction so much as a simalar run.

[Matt Letourneau]

Its kind of pathetic that SMC played a tough game, ended up losing narrowly, and yet a day later there's not even a mention on this board.

Don't they have any fans?

Matt,

You drove them away during the Habel days

Congrats to the Seahawks on a great run in the tournament. Alex Franz had a great performance in the loss on Friday night.

Only eight months from today until we tip off 2008-09.

Also, I neglected earlier, congrats to Chad McGowan on his second straight CAC Player of the Year award. He is just one of four players in the history of the conference to achieve this award two years in a row.

[Matt Letourneau]

Matt,

You drove them away during the Habel days

Nah, the only pushback I ever got from SMC were from players mamas!  (Really!)

They had quite a run though, this year, didn't they!  Classic underacheiver during most of the year that finally put it together and lived up to their potential at the end.
