Sounds like the new conference is nostalgic or historical with Philly in its wings. Why not just call it the William Penn Conference, or the Cheesesteak Conference, better yet Betsy Ross Alliance.

Seriously, the names are not to thrilling or represenative of the region. Maybe they should call it the BIG EAST conference .

Mailsy....better get to GMC on Saturday, no excuses.

I have to be up in Secaucus, NJ all day. I'll be done around 5:00pm. If the game is at night, I'll be there. OK?

Of course. You want them to win, don't you? The Gwynedd coach(the Cabrini grad) will probably want the game in the afternoon, just so I won't be there.

Interesting balance on the Alvernia scoring against Gwynedd.

66 pts on 11 3pt baskets, 11 2 pt baskets and 11 one point baskets (free throws).

You could see a lot of basketball without seeing that. There are days that seem like that every brick the other team throws up banks in and every shot that looks like it's dropping down somehow hits and rims out. It is usually only a couple key shots that we remember that color our recollections of the game, but those few key shots are often the difference in a close game.

I think there are several good coaches in the PAC, but I would stand behind my COY being between Woodruff and Miller.

Nice observation Chair.......... 666 is a nicer number. This may be an omen that the PAC is ending.

Real quiet the last 24 hours. I'm sure it will get a lot noisier soon. Good luck to both teams in the Championship game.

chairman · February 29, 2008, 09:25:55 PM

haven't seen the box score yet. It will be interesting to see the whole of it. Congrats to Jamie Chadwin and his team. Very impressive to win a PAC Championship in their third year. Best of luck in the big dance.

Congratulations to the Mighty Macs on winning their first championship and their first bid to the NCAA tourney. Good luck in the tourney!!!

Mighty Macs pulled away at the end--what was the closest Gwynedd got?

hIdeUmm · February 29, 2008, 10:37:45 PM

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!! CONGRATS TO THE MIGHTY MACS AND CHADWIN!!!! IT WAS AN UNREAL ENVIROMENT IN ALUMNEA. EVERYTIME GMC TRIED PULLING AWAY THE MACS CAME STORMING BACK. HELL OF A LAST GAME FOR KEENAN HE PLAYED HIS HEART OUT WITH A WRAPPED HEAD!!!

BIG DANCE HERE COME THE MACS!!!!

chairman · February 29, 2008, 10:41:20 PM

Immaculata hits seven threes and pulls down 19 offensive rebounds. That's the game there. 19 of 42 Immac misses go back to the home team. It is tough to get stops when teams get a second crack at nearly half their misses. Not sure about fast break points. The box says neither team scored a fast break point, but I think that might be a STATCREW issue and not totally related to the game. Either way, the made three pointers and offensive rebounds neutralize the effectiveness of the GMC zone and Immac wins. Anyone at the game can feel free to comment on when Gwynedd switched to man-- I would assume they would have had to and what impact that had on the game.

Congrats again to both teams who reached the final.

The were switching back and forth all game but they locked into it around the 10 minute mark and the MACS pulled away and they went back to the zone later.

Seemed the MACs got the ball down the floor quicker as well. Congratulations to your team HIdeUmm. They deserve it. I hope they can beat Ursinus or the best team in the area in the Tourney. Make the PAC proud in its last year of existence.

Class act Mighty Macs. Tell Sister Delores over there that they won for me. I am serious. She is a little forgetful.

It was a great game last night. The 1-3-1 of GMC did not stand up as it had in the previous contest. Finklea, Fordham and Hyman all played well. Also DeSantis had a big game last night. Offensively and defensively. Cannot wait until Monday at 9am for the selection.

on a side note. I loved how the PAC was trying to sell shirts for about $15 last night. Priceless, considering its going to be renamed in a few months.
