MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

Been reading all your posts about the toughness of the CSAC, & just wanted to make sure that you all remembered what facilitated that league shifting of Alvernia, Arcadia, Misericordia, & Eastern from the PAC, & Manhattanville from the Skyline. When the Landmark formed they included former MAC members, Drew & Scranton from the Freedom, & Juniata, Moravian, & Susquehanna from the Commonwealth. Might as well called themselves NEWMAC, but there's already such a beast

. As a long time MAC Freedom fan, i really do miss Drew & Scranton - still. However, as a rather impartial observer of the CSAC, i'm impressed with the teams i've seen so far play my Aggies. Marywood in particular - we play them next Thursday.

Hello Kate, your point is encouraging. Seems the MAC gets more respect but for good reason. I know you like Marywood!

Interesting night in the CSAC. Blowouts by GMC, Neumann and Keystone. Double digits by Cabrini and a nice 1 point win for Centenary who played great D in the second half and especially at the end to prevent IU from getting a shot to win.

Two years in a row Cabrini starts out 5-0. Marywood did a good job on KM tonight. But Dom Farello stepped it up in the second half to lead Cabrini. It's great to be able to watch all the games on the internet.

One more weekend of conference games and it is off until next year. I see Saturday's games as Cabrini over BBC and GMC over PBU by a lot. Keystone over Marywood, IU over Rosemont by double digits and I see a close game with Neumann and Centenery. I think home team wins in this one.

Any thoughts?

Centenary down 42-30 at half to Rosemont!! Centenary not shooting well.

mailsy · December 07, 2009, 10:21:29 PM

Rosemont wins their first ever conference game 90-76 over Centenary!!!

What happened to the Cyclones? Tonymnm, any insight? I saw first half, they shot poorly. Looks like from the score that they couldn't defend either.

Congratulations to Rosemont on their first conference win! Hope it will give you guys some motivation to post. Wow! What happened to the Cyclones? Anyone fill us in out there? Hey Mailsy, am I correct in seeing the Cavs in the others category for regional rankings in the MidAtlantic this year?

tonymnm · December 08, 2009, 10:48:02 AM

Hey all,

My Cyclones are struggling!!! They really have been shooting terribly at the line, and from the field. They also are missing Will Atkinson, who is one of their better players, but they have a long break now, and hopefully he will be back. Give credit to Neumann and Rosemont on playing solid games, but I think our coaching staff will get it turned around, and am looking forward to better results after the break!!!

I saw that too. So they either got '5' 25th place votes or '1' 21st place vote or some combination in between.

That is good to see but it would be nicer to get them actually in the top 25.

The Cavs have a tough game next week at Merchant Marine and then a home contest against a Centennial Conference team in Haverford. Hopefully, their current momentum will continue and this recent break won't effect them too much.

What happened to Will? Injury? Hopefully if that is the case he will get better soon. I always appreciate it when teams have all their best playing.

Hopefully Tony they will turn it around. But they did play ugly last night.

Wolf,

Did you see that Cabrini now has 18 points in the "others receiving votes category"??

Wolfpac · December 11, 2009, 05:40:53 PM

Certainly did, up from 5 votes... hoping the next 2 games push them into the respect category if they can stay focused and pull them out.

Mailsy, looking forward to a live action game with you in the stands. Saw how Gonzaga D1(top25) played a D3 school and the result was a 97-40 game. Kind of interesting to see what it would be like in our area with a local D1 playing one of our best teams in the CSAC region.

Hope so. A couple of wins this week would go a long way to pushing them higher in the polls. The key to really know how good they are is when they play GMC on the 11th and Keystone on the 14th in the new year.

Won't ever happen. Tooo much at stake for a D1 team in this area to play down to a DIII team. Plus I think they would be afraid to lose.

Also, I have the 11th penned in to try and make. Hopefully I'll have recovered by that time to get to the game.

Congratulations to Rosemont's Harrison Carsillo on being selected as conference player of the week.

mailsy · December 24, 2009, 09:01:57 PM

Just wanted to wish all the CSAC fans a Merry Christmas!!!

Unfortunately, Centenary got it handed to them. Blown out by DeSales 101-64. I guess Cyclone fans you're happy that 2009 is over??

Now we all get to look forward to most teams starting again next week. Big conference game on Monday with Keystone hosting Cabrini. I will be watching!

Tony,
What's going on in hackettstown? I haven't caught any games yet this season, but should have some time to catch up on the cyclones. Why is Atkinson out? I was excited for this team before the season started with almost everyone but baker back, but it seems expectations of mine were too high. I know the non-conference schedule is more difficult, which i agree that it makes you battle tested, and it seems after tomorrows game vs the Red Hawks, we have a nice little homestand to turn things around, but what's the deal? How are the bigs that enrico brought in? I know there isn't much size, but is there any athleticism? I am just going on roster info at this point hopefully I will get to see them soon. Let me know whats going on...

Anybody any thoughts on Cabrini and Keystone?
