MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

Congratulations to Cabrini for being 8th in the MA regional rankings this week!!!  What a long time to wait to get back there.

Bitter sweet night tonight for the senior MAC's.  They were the first class of men at IU and they were a part of some special moments.  My hat is off to them because although this year did not turn out the way they would have liked, they accomplished some great things over their four years and will be remembered for so much more then their wins and losses.  It takes guts to build a program from scratch and endure all the bumps along the way.  They accomplished more than many expected over their four year run and for that they should hold their heads high tonight.  They have laid a foundation, set standard for IU men's athletics and have done so with class for that we are grateful and proud.  Congrats to the class of 09: Finklea, Fordham, Lopez, Slavick, Alderson, Forde.

Could not have said it better myself. Congratulations gentlemen.

Congrats to Cabrini for that regional ranking.  It's good to see a good group of guys get there.

By the way, what happened to Immaculata this year?  Chadwin is a great coach.  Did he graduate a bunch, have some injuries, or did they just underperform?

[IUuKno]

IU lost 5 of their top 6 scorers from last season....this years team lacked size effectiveness in the paint, but i want to stress again that this years results will not shape how this graduating class is remembered...they have some good young players that should develop over the next couple years... Chadwin is a very good coach and has a great staff to compliment...2 league championship game appearances, 1 league championship, 1 NCAA tournament birth...not too shabby for his first full recruiting cycle

[chizwiz]

IUuKno, I definitely agree with you about Chadwin's record.  I'm hoping to see more success from him in the future.

By the way, when is Marywood going to fire that bum they call a coach?

While it's not up to me to defend coach Grundman, your reference to him as a bum is uncalled for.

Besides that, he's probably up for a big promotion after perhaps the best finish in school history.

Does anyone know what happened in the Neumann/Marywood and Centenary/Philly Bible games?

[mailsy]

Congratulations to all the teams that have made the playoffs.  Good luck.  To the teams who didn't qualify good luck in the offseason, hopefully you will have good recruiting years and be back better next year. 

Congrats to the graduating class of IU.  They had a tremendous 4 years.  From nowhere to a PAC champions.  Tough year this season, though.

            Baptist Bible @ Marywood

Good luck to those playing Saturday!

Hey zone where are you???  Time to eat crow.  Centenary finishes 6th not fourth as you predicted.   

BTW good job Cent for making playoffs after a dimal 07-08 season.

I'm going to take that last statement as sarcasm, regarding the promotion.  And I'm sure you would understand the "bum" statement if you were a long-time EU fan.  Or, ask some of the coaches in the conference.  They might beat around the bush on that one, but probably won't deny it.

[zonescantstopme]

hey i had alot of faith in my cyclones!!!!  and with the years we had in the past i ll take a 6th place finish and playoff berth. congrats centenary. also a fourth place finish was not out of the question.  a few games stick out in my mind that they had in the bag early.  up double digits against marywood early this season and lost on a blacknall 3.  up late on keystone only to blow it in the end.  and the lost to baptist bible late in the year are all games the clones had in the bag and didnt close out.  I KNOW THIS is a BIG IF but IF they go our way we are looking at 11-5 and.............. a 3rd place finish but i cant wait for the playoffs to begin

[tonymnm]

Hey congrats to Centenary!!!! Im a big fan and I am REAL HAPPY with a playoff spot this year after last years ugly season, and the big thing was they were real competitive in most games, so we have to give credit to the new staff for that!!!! Hopefully, we can pull one off in the playoffs, but it looks like the Cyclones have a bright future with Coach M and his staff!!!!

Even if he is a bum, I think it's inappropriate for you to refer to him as such.

Isn't America great??

Cheezewiz, a former scorekeeper who failed at his only attempt to be a 'Head Basketball Coach' and returned home with his tail between his legs can go around verbally abusing 'real' head coaches.

I don't know Marywoods coach personally and I don't know what happened years ago.  I do know that you act like a child on this message board and make Eastern look bad in the process.

[mid-range j]

Looks like Centenary is having a terrific year..ecspecially after the herendous seasons they have compiled the last couple of years in the Skyline.. i havent seen them play in two years, but what is the big change? is it the coaching staff? i know they has a small dude coaching there that tried real hard but didnt real seem to know to much about basketball..zonescanstopme can you help me out with this one?  anyways congrats on the rebuilding thats a good thing too..i also heard cent has a new gym? hows that?
