Immaculata beat keystone at IU 70-57.

Thanks hIdeUm.  I misread that.  Well that changes things if IU wins they could possibly lock up 2nd.  That would give them really a 2 game lead.  If they lose they would need help for second.  Games KC has left are: Rosemont, @Centenary, @PBU, BBC @GMC.  Possibly 4-1. Macs would have to go 4-0 to tie and then I don't know tiebreakers.  Will still be an interesting Monday night.

Nice win for the Mighty Macs beating Keystone in OT.  Macs tied it up with 2 seconds in regulation and then in OT exploded.  Scored back to back threes to take a 6 point lead and Keystone imploded.  Technical fouls on the bench bad shots and not taking care of the ball.  It was a very physical game.  Keystone did not have the "homecourt" advantage in that game.  Nice win Immaculata!! Could possible have locked up second place, still have a chance for first.  Have to beat Cabrini on Thursday.

GMC lost on some bad defense, Neumann pulls it out on the line.

So.........Mailsy what does this mean now?   Means IU has a big game with the Cavs at the Dixon Center on Thursday.  Weather permitting of course and the Cavs have Neumann away Weds first if the weather holds.

How are they gonna schedule games if the weather changes for the worse?
Will they play next week or play Sunday games?

You're right about the defense and then they didn't even get a real shot off to try and tie it.  There are 5 teams in the playoffs..  Centenary is pretty much a lock for the 6th spot, unless they implode.  Rosemont was up double digits on Marywood in the second half(I don't know what is happening because the Rosemont video feed went down).

It will be an interesting week with the back to back games for Cabrini and impending snow.  Thursday's game is going to be a huge game.  If Cavs lose at Neumann than Immaculata game will have 1st place on the line. 

I really don't know how they'll schedule these make up games if it snows.

Cabrini is ranked at number 24 in top 25 poll.    We will see if they maintain that thru the rest of the season. 

[Wolfpac]

Neumann game rescheduled for Feb 20th 3pm, and the playoffs for the conference have been bumped up a couple of days starting the qtrs on the 22nd semi on 24 final 26, the women are starting on the 23rd.

Therefore Mailsy the last game of the season will be at NU with a doubleheader so the Cavs can focus on the Macs tomorrow night.   The Cavs want the conference bad and are going to push hard for the title.   We should be in for a great game Thursday if the weather holds up.

[mailsy]

I'll be able to attend all those games if I want.  Doc still has not cleared me for work yet.    So I have time on my hands.

Wolf,

Dzik and Piedmont win again.  Only 11 more to 500.    Next big game is Saturday.

[mailsy]

Cabrini over IU by 3.  Back and forth game.  IU's biggest lead was 9 - Cavs was 5.  Ugly game though.  No points in the first 3 minutes.  Good conference win, though.  Cavs have a 2.5 game lead over IU and KC(beat Centenary by 6).  3 if you count the tiebreaker.(2 wins over both teams).  Four games to go for Cabrini, 3 each for IU and KC.  Keystone might have the edge: They have PBU, BBC(H) and GMC.  Macs have Centenary(H), Rosemont and Neumann.  What do you think?  Who gets 2nd? or does GMC or Neumann sneak in?

Never count out GMC!   I think Keystone chokes against GMC, and Neumann comes out stronger than one thinks in the stretch.   IU will be struggling with GMC and the Cavs have to be sure not beat themselves.   Alumni Saturday coming up for the Cavs men and women in a couple of days.   Should be a good time for Cav fans and if the Cavs take care of business they will have win another  20 win season. Playoffs at the Dixon Center if they stay focused.

The final will be Cavs and Neumann!

[mailsy]

Full slate in CSAC on Saturday.  Alumni game at Cabrini. Cavs should win this one over Marywood. GMC heads to Rosemont and should win by a lot.  Keystone at PBU.  Keystone by 20+. Neumann at BBC.  Could BBC get their first conference win?  No.  Centenary travels to Immaculata.  This could be a close game.  Centenary already has beaten IU once.  But that was at home.  I don't see them pulling this one out at IU.  IU wins.  

The final week is here.  Centenary needs a win and a loss by Marywood to get into the playoffs.  Who takes the byes? And who gets the home games in the quarters?  Will be a fun week.  

With a win tomorrow Cabrini gets homecourt throughout the playoffs! 

[Wolfpac]

Does the rest of the Cavs schedule become more meaningful for a tourney game at home?  If they win out somehow, despite the fact that the conference is weak ..... will they be able to get a home game in tournament play just because they have a great record overall?  Could there possibly be a weaker team in another conference with a worse record than the Cavs who would have to come to the Dixon Center or is it automatic that the Cavs will travel the first round again "if" they win the conference?   Anyone know?  For that matter not just the Cavs.... any team who are the CSAC champions will that team travel no matter who they play in the first round or are there weaker teams in the region based on quality wins, SOS, opwp, opopwp, etc.... who could win their conference and visit a CSAC team in the first round?

[ronk]

  I think the school has to have submitted an application to host a 4-team regional unless it's part of the 3 3-team regionals(61 teams in the field so 3 teams get 1st round byes meaning the other 2 teams in those regionals will play at one of the schools with the winner playing at the bye school in the 2nd round.   

[Reserved Seat]

What's the seating capacity at Dixon Center?
