MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

[chairman]

Can't beat golfing in the gym.... There is a long story about hitting a two iron in thirty-five degree weather, but no one carries a two-iron anymore. Nasty roads tonight. Really good game at EU last night. Would love to see the same Eastern team show up on Saturday. Reading, however, has not really been a comfortable place for the Eastern boys over the years (that is, as it is described in the business, negative understatement.).

If the game winds up with fifty or sixty fouls called, it will be to Eastern's advantage. (Even though they don't shoot that well from the foul line, I think they can absorb foul trouble better than Alvernia.)

Major debate about whether to travel to Reading or sneak into Villanova's back yard for a PAC South Women's battle Thursday night.

Any Booker sightings as of late?

Tough call Chairman.     Those girls are rough and tough.  Saw one break her wrist at the Dixon Center for Neumann.   

Booker is MIA but may be using another name or something I believe.

In case anyone gets the urge to venture out tonight for a women's game, there is action at the Dixon Center tonight at 7:00 which may not be listed anywhere since it is a make up for the last snow in Radnor.   Cabrini vs. Notre Dame.  A rematch of the game in Madison Square Garden.

If the weather is not an issue this weekend we should have some real barn-burners to decide the playoff picture for the men.  Wondering what is happening at Immaculta.  Are any of their players injured? 

[chairman]

They are hitting a tough stretch in their schedule with road games against tough teams. They did not stat the season with blow-out wins, so it stands to reason that they would drop some games in the league. A little surprising the way the split with GMC happened (both teams winning on the road), but not at all surprised that each team won one in that series.

Did Cabrini really put a 37-0 run on Notre Dame the last time they played?

Chairman,

Speaking of multiple identities - while I don't know who Booker is, Flyer seems to resemble another poster.

Lefty2,

It seems the person you are referring to, was probably getting a little too much heat.

Chair,  the Lady Cavs were down by 2 buckets at the 18:14 mark of the second half.  At the 16min. mark the Cavs started scoring 32 points consecutively while ND turned the ball over 12 times and missed on 25 shots allowing them to romp.  My math adds up to 32  but if you count baskets in the first half in the mix I actually come up with 38 points.  Guess Cabrini welcomed them to the PAC officially.

Which they could win against GMC and get a shot at the tourney.  They work hard.

I think you know  who I am and that is all good because Mailsy and I are trying to get to Dallas on Saturday.   I don't know if Mailsy put the word out already but the Cavs could get a home game in the playoffs somehow after all this gridlock with a win.   

Misery  has some good players with talent and I was surprised they dropped a couple I chalked up as wins for them.  How bad is the snow up there Lefty? ?

[mailsy]

Yes.  It is possible for Cabrini to get a home game in the playoffs.  However, and that is a big "however" they have to win out.  Beating Misericordia on the road  and Eastern at home (even though it is at home) will not be easy.  A long road trip game is always tough.  The Eastern game on the road was a game they should have had, but Eastern came back and won.  So that is one of those games that Cabrini should have won so no guarantees in revenge games. 

If the Cavs win both those games then they definitely deserve the home game.  As a Cavs fan I want them to win and I don't want to have to travel too far to go see them.  But hopefully they will still make the playoffs because they are not in yet.

[chairman]

Cabrini locks up a playoff berth with  a win in either of their last two, a Neumann loss, or an Immaculata win tomorrow and in one other game (they take the tie breaker from Neumann if Immaculata wins the league.) If Immac wins tomorrow and loses the next two, Alvernia could still win the league and boost Neumann ahead of Cabrini. If the Cavaliers beat Misericordia and the Cougars and Knights finish 8-8 (assuming a Misericordia win over Centenary tomorrow) I think the Knights would get in. I think that is the only way Neumann gets in with Immaculata winning the league.

I'm trying to figure out what the largest number of tied teams could be.... My head is about to explode. I'll check in later with that contingency.

Don't think Booker's coming back.

Flyer,
I have know idea who you are - or WolfPAC or most of the folks on this board.

Most of Tuesday's snow was washed away by Wednesday's rain.

[chairman]

I think four teams at 11-5 is the biggest log jam I can devise. More realistically, the tie is going to fall at 9-7 for 4-5-6, 4-5 or 5-6.

BTW...Lefty loves it when you call them Misery.

[Jon]

Chair,

You gotta cut it out with this recent rash of postings...there's no way I'm gonna get to Karmatown before you do.

[chairman]

I'm trying to make sure that each post is at least two lines. Seriously though. I have taken a pounding without really being abrasive (Calling out Booker notwithstanding). I think the smite fairy is out there just looking to beat on me. Oh well. I'm happy with myself. Kidd to the Mavs-- related to D3 hoops only in that All-Decade Team member Devean George is currently blocking the trade.

Enjoy tomorrow night's games. I'll be watching the Eagles try to unseat the Ramblers with an eye cast toward Reading.

At least spell it with an I - Miseri.
