I would think that they would receive some votes though...

Centenary is getting better and they are competing for the first time since Pat Zipfel was the coach.

Centenary is getting better but, they were competetive a couple years ago. Centenary is now 4-4 at the break, in 2003 they were 4-3 at the break and granted they weren't in a conference then, but they were competetive. That year they ended up 9-15 but lost 5 games by 1 possession and loss to 2 D-1 opponents. I believe in 01' they were in the same boat, ended 4-2 at the break, and ended up losing 7 games that year by 3 points or less.
With that said, Centenary hasn't been competetive since 03' and they are getting better. I will say Zipfel was a good coach and awesome recrutier, he was the last one to lead Centenary to the post season I believe in 95 he brought them to the ECAC tourney.

I'm not neccessarily a fan of GMC, but I thought they would garner some votes in the most recent poll. This really surprises me that they didn't even get one vote.

Do you thinks it has anything to do with their schedule and the conference?

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Oh, and by the way the team Centenary lost by two points to, Desales, just made the TOP 25 in the country!!! So, although they didnt beat Desales lets give them credit for earning a little respect!!!

Does anyone have any insight on the problem that Neumann is having? Seems like the players are not responding to the coach IMO. On paper they have always had some of the best talent but have come up short. Just want some feed back if possible

Obviously it is still early to say what the problem is , conference play hasn't really started. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it seems they do have Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. Hopefully, the one you want to show up will rear its head against your team (or another you're rooting against)!

Hope everyone has a Healthy and Merry Christmas!!

Congratulations to the Cabrini Cavaliers on winning the Marymount University Comcast Challenge!!!

They are now 7-2!

The second half of conference play will begin this week. Good Luck Cavs!!!

Congrats to the Cyclones on a 102-79 victory tonight!!!!

Congrats to Cabrini's Glenn Washington on being named one of the national players of the week!!

Games tonight in the CSAC Cabrini @ Philly Bible (conf), Centenary @ King's, Keystone @ Hilbert. Tomorrow's games Marywood @ Babtist Bible(conf).

Any thoughts CSAC fans?

I believe Cavs will slice up the PBU Eagles, I'd like to see Centenary beat a MAC team. But I think King's will win(I'll be rooting for the 'clones). K Giants will win big and in the other conference game on Thursday I think the Defenders will out pace the Pacers.

Gwynedd mercy win ant Neumann today. final score 69-62.

jabstep08 · January 12, 2009, 11:15:55 PM

Neumann beats Centenary tonight...60 to 52. Dont know how Neumann wins any games because they cant seem to run any half court offense and they have one legit player in eli hitchens. Any opinions?

jabstep08,

Here is your probable answer. They are playing inferior opponents. The record for teams they've beaten is 30-39 (winning pct .435). The record for the teams they've lost to is 53-36 (winning pct .596). They only have one win against a team over .500 for the season (North Carolina Weslyan, currently 9-3). (If you take Neumann's wins and losses out of the equation, teams they beat are 30-34 .469 teams they lost to 47-36 .566). Three other teams they beat are one game under .500 (would be at .500 if Neumann game isn't counted).

However, right now that might only mean a little. It really is going to come down to conference play and right now they are 2-2. 4 of their next 6 games are against teams in the conference that have losing records in and out of conference. The other two teams are Cabrini(H) and Marywood(A). Their only four games are Philly Bible 2x, Centenary again on the road, and Baptist Bible(which they've already lost to at home) on the road.

At the end of this they could still just be a .500 ball club and just might be a team that can't beat the better teams and can only beat the "not so better" teams.
