just a thought tony GMC was SUPPOSED to beat IU the last 2 yrs in the playoff, in the semis 2 yrs ago and in the chip last year (according to popular opinion) theres always something about GMC that makes me not think they cant finish (personal opinion) . I HAVE NOT seen them play too much but 7-8 mins @ neumann on webcast, they are good but i still think anyone can beat anyone in this league. Never ASSUME anything when it comes to this league. Complacency sets in too.

HideUmm, you bring up a good point about GMC, historically they seem to get tentative coming up short at times.....I have witnessed this often prior to IU episodes even on their own court. Neuman, Misery have shocked them a few times down the stretch in the past before the "chip" match. Just when you thought it is GMC or Alvernia locked in for the banner....agree strongly anyone is capable. Glad to see IU in there instead of Alvernia and GMC all the time. Complacency sets in as well. Hope IU and the Cavs meet in the playoffs if Cavs hang in there.

CM33----I think NJAC is more like our state schools are they not? They have a better financial advantage with dollars earmarked towards athletes almost like a D2 with consolidations of community colleges in the past and Trenton State, Glasssboro ........ Our conference is more private institutions with high tuition and smaller enrollments. Maybe our small institutions should integrate within certain geographic areas to compete financially and pool talent but again the mission of D3.

Mailsy, Did Kevin M. have any dunks ? ? Hard to get excited with the Cavs for me this year except for the Lady Cavs. Trying to keep things in perspective with the less than stellar conference. The Cavs will have problems in the "big games" with their size and height. Seems to me they live and die with the 3 and have a difficult time defending the rim without a big man. If they use their speed and somehow shoot stellar they could fool some bigger teams but defense wins not the 3 ball. They need some low post boys and cannot afford to miss their foul shots.

Imo, i think that coach baron has done a good job with getting players since GMC hgas won a couple championships. Hogga was a steal. I think that Neumann should have the best chances of getting players since they are about 20 to 30 mins away from philly and they are 5 mins away from chester. But in the past they have got some good talent solomon harris, raheem washington, omar warthen from the philly area and randy maultsby and derhan patrick from chester and ronnie fields from penn wood. I dont think they got recruited but they just landed at the school. come playoff time i think anything can happen.

Mailsy,

I think if the Cyclones get in they will take Imaculata's spot, because if you look at the schedule they still have to play GMC twice, also at Newman and Centanary in the second half.

hIdeUmm · January 30, 2009, 02:19:15 PM

maybe a little bias here but can you say that centenary is going to beat the MACS when they havent in 3 tries. I know they are improved their coach has done a great job with them but to say that we have to play GMC twice and then follow up with centenary?? I dont think that BBC will beat the MACS at home. IU always shows up at Neumann as well. Like i said anybody can beat anyone on any given day in this conference. thats why it gets so crazy down the stretch.

I don't know. I wasn't there. But he did shoot 18-23 from the field, 2-5 from 3 pt range and 3-3 from the line. They did outpoint BBC in the paint 44-32 but only 6-15 from threes. But you are right they don't have a true "bigman". Dom and Cali do a good job for their size but... Regarding lady Cavs start something on the women's board. It really is quiet over there.

Two nice solid wins for Cabrini today Mailsy. Hoping they get what it is all about taking it strong to the hoop.

dwarf · February 01, 2009, 10:23:00 AM

Hey cav fans--where is Glenn Washington?

hIdeUmm · February 01, 2009, 04:12:42 PM

thats a good question dwarf...

good game yesterday between GMC and IU. IU slowed them down but didnt have the offense themselves to get it done...

anyone want to pick the games for tomorrow night.

CoachM33 · February 02, 2009, 01:00:05 PM

I think GMC, Keystone, and Cabrini win tonight.

Centenary needs this one tonight , in order keep pace for that last spot. They are going to have to split with Cabrini in order to do so, and tonight would be a great opportunity with Cabrini getting that big win this weekend.

CoachM33 you were 2 out of 3, as many probably had it the same way. Who would have thought that GMC would have gotten beaten by Marywood.

I certainly did not expect that. I think GMC overlooked them when they blew them out at home. Marywood plays well at home they are 4-1 in conference play.

The last 2 weeks of the season are going to be exciting, aren't they?

hIdeUmm · February 03, 2009, 03:47:09 PM

Too early for the matrix??? im just getting excited i guess... the Macs need to go on a roll. congrats Marywood pulling off a tough task.

chairman · February 03, 2009, 06:07:45 PM

Matrix-makers in the Freedom room now-- Next year Commonwealth.
Is there any news about the Washington situation at Cabrini?

IUuKno · February 03, 2009, 09:22:58 PM

Nothing offical from me but, everything I have heard says he will not be playing the rest of the season...has anyone else heard otherwise?

mailsy · February 03, 2009, 11:23:35 PM

Since last week there have been some changes in the standings. GMC is still first. (That loss to Marywood should encourage everyone else in the conference) Cabrini is 2, Keystone 3rd. Marywood is 4. Baptist Bible exchanged places with Neumann and is now 5. Immaculata remains at 6.

Can Neumann overcome their Jekyll and Hyde status and get on a roll? Will Immaculata and Baptist Bible maintain their places, move up or move out. Can Centenary move into the playoffs?

So what do you think.

BTW don't believe everything you hear or read!!
