[BJ - DSU SID]

Just figured I'd make it seven straight postings from the SID world and get myself one more post closer to 200.

I figure I have until next year, when Miseri ( , Eastern and the Vern close the book on the PAC and join the fun over in the Freedom room, to get over 200 posts so I can join the Karma fun.

First of all I'm breaking the streak.  Second of all it is still the PAC until the end of the school year.  So let's please stay on track.  Third let's enjoy the next week it is going to be a wild ride to the PAC playoffs.

I'm just glad almost all of the SIDs in that string post their scores and game stories on a regular basis and don't just post on the board.

FYI -the Lady Cavs rolled over Notre Dame 85-44 now they are 12-1 (17-5).
Just so all of you know.   Wolfpac was not a smite monster.  Now you have the proof. 

Tempted to ride to Reading.  Voting for the Crusaders.   Want to play them not Immac.   Be honest Mailsy.   Would you rather lose to Immac or Alvernia or win against Immac or Alvernia?

Hoping the Crusaders beat EU and Immac sorry Chiz, Hidehum ...........
I also like the pizza better at the Vern.   If anyone saw the Duke/ Maryland game last night with the Duke defense I think the Cavs are adapting this style of defense.   Seems  the Vern plays some junk defenses at times but they get the job done.  (Triangle and double by coach Miller)  Someone may have their number.   

Jon- help us out.   If we get to the Vern again  Mailsy and somehow pull an upset we get to visit the Cemetary even though it would never be the same.


Pat Coleman--- I know the Cavs defense is a long way away from Duke so chill.   I think the Cavs could beat Catholic though.

Pat I was just ready in case you were going to send any criticism my way about the comparision between Cabrini and Duke defense.

Flyer,

I would rather have them in the playoffs with a chance at the NCAA's.  The team is  going to play, win or lose, and it has nothing to do with me.  I was just saying for logistics sake, I hope it's closer, because I'll have a better chance to get to the game if it is closer to work or home rather than traveling up to Miseri(no offense) for example.

[Jon]

Wow Mailsy, I know the Cougars play in low-scoring games, but to say they have no offense...rouch.

Jon,

Very funny .    Context is always important. See, Jon in the context you used, you're offending Miseri's play.   I was only trying to offend the travel up there.

[Jon]

Just havin' a little fun over lunch Mailsy.  Enjoy the evening wherever you head.

Thanks Jon.  I'll be checking out the scores on D3 tonight when I get home later.
I could say good luck to the Vern, but that might not help my Cavs.

Jon,

As the late Johnny Carson would say - "that's funny stuff."

Did you mean to go with the Jetsons reference with the "rouch"?

[chairman]

I think it was actually a Scooby -Doo reference....

If someone could translate Flyer's post for me, that would be appreciated.

Yeah, uhh, the Cavs aren't beating Catholic.  Well, maybe once in 10 games.  You have to be kidding.  I have too much respect for Catholic, even in its weakened state this year, to believe that any Catholic player (or coach) would allow a weak Cabrini team to beat them.

Trying to say whatever magic has been happening at Cabrini is due to the defensive end.  Herenda has them playing more of a balanced game on defense and offense while they are slowing the others down.  If you know Mike Kry... and Duke he uses a million different defenses and changes things up to prevent mediocrity and predictability for game planning from an opponent's point of view.    However I did not want anyone to think I even considering the Cavs were close to the level of Duke or Mike K. so I was expecting some critics at the senior level to blast me.

One must admit whatever magic is going on is due to defensive posture and high energy tempo on the defensive end.  Seems the point gaurd is adapting better as well as the 3pt shooting percentage increasing slowly.
In light of this, Alvernia seemed to me to not really be playing defensive at times but just showing different defensive fronts rather than executing a specific defensive plan.  Seemed like a double down and rotate the gaurds or a junk defensive with trapping gaurds using the triangle. 

The game at the Vern was tied at 25 at the half and the Cavs managed to hold a team down that averaged 85 pts a game at that point in the season. It almost seemed to me that the Cavs folded rather easily, and I hate to say it like they almost threw the game or did not want to show all their stuff.   I admit they did hand the ball over a few times.

Does this help you to see where I am coming from better Chairman.  I was only making an observation based on the possibility that the Cavs could face Alvernia once again.
