MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

Coach C,
You might be right about those rankings but they could be correct. Wesley might be the best team by the end of the year. One Philadelphia insider told me that all the Philly schools have the Wesley game circled on their schedules.
Cabrini is probably underrated based on the coaching change. They'll be right in the mix as usual.

hoopzwiz -

I have not herd the same thing about Wesley. The distance for many of the schools is an issue and they alwyas play well down in Dover. Cabrini has similar talent back. The question is how that talent plays under a new regime and in a new system.

There's all this talk about Wesley, Cabrini, GMC, and Cabrini, but no one has mentioned Eastern. I don't understand!

Moon Man · November 20, 2005, 10:43:58 PM

I'm sorry...Wesley, Cabrini, Alvernia, and GMC.

Perhaps because the person who brought up Eastern is too chicken to show his profile and quit the board immediately.

4-14 conference record after the opening weekend and it wasn't exactly top 25 competition.

This is the most boring chat room in America.

Perhaps the reason why no one talks about Eastern is because they only beat Immaculata, a first year program, by 1.

Did you catch the game?
What does Immac have?

Coach C,

I just saw the score in the paper. Generally first year programs aren't that competitive. Either they're going to be okay, Eastern is going to have a tough year, or it was just a bad night for the Eagles.

Heatlee,

We're all getting a kick out of your comments. Please, don't stop. I didn't stop laughing for 10 minutes after reading this last statement of yours.

"Perhaps the reason why no one talks about Eastern is because they only beat Immaculata, a first year program, by 1. "

Maybe before you let slip another foolish thing, you'll think first. For everyone else, the game at Immaculata was their first home game as well as their first PAC game. They could have been competitive with any group of 10-15. However, they are a much better team than they get credit for. I don't foresee them racing to the last place in the PAC, like Marywood might (especially if you grade on class). While Immac. won't win the conference this year, or the next, they will be in a lot of games to the end and should beat some of the better PAC teams.

Ok so maybe they were all hyped for the first game in program history and they were up becasue they had new uniforms. Still heatlee is right. most first year preograms are not competitive.

Since you seem to have some knowledge of the situation, maybe you can answer my question.

What do the Mighty Macs have?

Coach C,

True, true. Most first year programs aren't competitive, and comparing the Macs to EU, a team that as of yet hasn't proven itself to be a top program, is tough to determine how competitive they will be.

What do the Mighty Macs have? Well, it will become evident soon that they are well coached, as Chadwin knows his x's and o's. I can't wait to see how he does against the other new coach in the conference. Also, they have some nice transfer players (meaning experience), the team plays tough (at least they did in their game against EU), and they have something to prove. I see them finishing in the bottom half of the PAC, but don't think they will be at the 10 spot.

However, they need a conference win soon, or they might lose some steam for the maiden season.

By the way, Eastern plays at Lehigh tomorrow night. Look for a hard-fought game with the onlookers getting sore necks from all the trips down the court that each team makes.

Pat Coleman,

You were right on with your assessment of the part-time vs. full-time thing at Cabrini. The "player" arguing against you just doesn't, and won't, understand. What do you expect from an 18-year-old who thinks the new situation is the same as it was with Dzik? Those Cabrini guys never were too bright, anyway. And they didn't get any smarter when Dzik left.

Chadwin knows his x's and o's and Macciocia seems to as well.

Who do you see as a win on the horizon for the Macs?

Eastern-Lehigh was not competitive.

On the Cabrini issue, the young man was wrong. That doesn't mean his isn't smart.

Bugs in the webcasting setup at Alvernia have been exterminated. A text play-by-play for all home games will be available on the following page:

http://athletics.alvernia.edu/live/xlive.htm

Next game on the home schedule is this Saturday afternoon (12/3) when Wesley College pays its annual visit to Reading.

I would encourage other PAC schools to post a link to other webcasting options here as well.
