MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

[Wolfpac]

Hoopsfan.......feeling is mutual. Good to run into someone who understands the game and appreciates the level of play these student athletes bring to the table.

Purchase is a bigger physical team, athletic, and have a well-paced offensive scheme. Seems to me the key is their gaurds who are savvy. Cavs also have Lemons who we all know about.  Believe if the big guys on both teams keep the low game in check then the gaurds will get turned loose and the war will begin until the free throws start.
However, Marcus may have a few surprises up his sleeve to throw them off a little.
Should be an interesting game.  WILL be physical game!  Depth charts and defense.

Was great to see fans from all four schools cheering.......also read the gym capacity was something like 2,105 posted and know firsthand from the planners there are comfortable seating for 1600 for those of you who needed to know about the Dixon center.

Sweet 16 baby!   Wooohoooo!!!!

Gordon it was a pleasure meeting you tonight.  It really was a great night for the Cavs.  It looked dreary in the first half.  But, I was telling everyone that we had Purchase right where we wanted them, considering that they were 6-0 when trailing at the half. (now 7-0)  It was a big deficit(13) but I just had a feeling(I know everyone seems to say that when their team wins).  I was also telling everyone around me if they could get in to 5 or under at the 15 minute they really had a chance.  So what happens at the 14:56 mark John Boyd hits a 3 and they trailed by 4.  There were 5 ties tonight and 3 lead changes.  2-0 Purchase, 4-2 Cavs and then 66-64 Cavs.  Again once they got over the hump they never trailed.  They just are so tough at home.  But next week they will travel and it looks like Wooster.  I might travel if I get the "flu". 

So much for the CSAC being a "weak" conference.

Honestly, mailsy, i couldn't be happier for you and the Cabrini Cavs!!!    You get to keep watching your team play - doesn't get any better than that in March - BEST LUCK!

Glad to still be posting about the Cavs on this board at this time of year.    Great to see underdogs get to the SWEET 16.........hope it helps the credibility of our conference.  The Cavs beat a physical team with some big guys and small gaurds all well coached, patient with the ball, and spaced well across the floor making it hard to defend.  Whatever Marcus said at halftime to the team went along way, and Lemons scored 20 in second half on way to 29 when he decided to turn it on.......

Cavs seem to adapt to the situation and trailing at half is a usual thing.  Really thought Purchase was going to come out of the pod, the Cavs looked tired in first half and did not react well to the ball, but the second half they got their feet and took advantage of their looks.  Doubling or tripling Lemons does not matter as one can see !

Hoping for the best against Wooster......the Scots lead the Cavs in most stats except for assists and steals, will be  a  tall order but Cavs fans have faith, hoping to make the trip to Ohio, unless something changes today and location is somewhere else theoretically it could be in Radnor....... Congratulations team and thanks D3.

Hoopsville tonight..........

Marcus Kahn on Hoopsville tonight. If you missed it he is interviewed at the end of the first hour into the second hour and you can listen to it in the archive.

The Wooster folks are asking for a Cabrini scouting report if any of you are so inclined.

Super Good Luck to the Cabrini Cavs tomorrow night against Wooster!

Thanks Kate, Cavs can use it. 

Here is a link to the NCAC board with an article about this weekend's sectional.

A bus is traveling out of Cabrini tomorrow.  I, unfortunately, can not get there.  I'll be watching on line.  Hopefully all this rain here won't cause any problems for viewing.  It will be a tough battle for the Cavs.  They are underdogs, they are traveling on the road, and they are playing the home team, who is ranked 5th.  But you know what? Anything is possible.  I am certainly very proud of this team and the coaches, so no matter what happens it has been a great year. 

GO CAVS!!!

Here is something else from the NCAC board:   

Hey guys, first post here so forgive me.

I the Assistant GM of WCWS-FM (WOO 91), Wooster's student-run radio. We've been recoding over the past few weeks a segment called "More with Moore" where we sit Coach down for about a half hour and just ask him some questions. We recorded one this morning where we spent the entire time recapping Wooster's tourney wins and a lot of the time previewing Cabrini. You can find the link here, as I hope it provides some more insight into the game tomorrow night: http://i.mixcloud.com/CSSGi

Thanks, and go Scots!

Assistant GM, WCWS

GO CAVS!!

I don't know if the Cabrini guys are at the game or here watching, but I'll just say, I told you that Wooster squad was strong and deep.  Wow.  What a ten minutes so far.
