Welcome to the board patriot1741. It's good to see new posters with some great insight. The odds are slim but they are a lot better since GMC has lost and got beat on the road. Now this road trip is only a 25 minute ride at most. But it is away from their home band box so anything is possible. I know Cavs morale is probably going to be a lot higher for this game then the game at GMC when Washington was a scratch. Cabrini also has a 9-1 record at home.

GO CAVS!!!!!

Nice touch there Mailsy........ could you give me some insight into this new trophy? (The battle of Eagle Road Trophy)

Like the Go Cavs........ Do not underestimate the Cavs in big games in their own building, hoping we get a good ref crew who lets them play today without calling all the girly fouls. Who will come up big today? Hope you get to the game somehow.

gmc shot 86% in the first half, that showed bb playing no 'd' at all... smith was 9-10 for the game, gmc shot 63% for the game, so it seems like their 20 to's played a bigger role in the loss than anything... not sure about the whole foul thing, i know officiating on the perimeter seems to be called a little tighter up north... what are the odds that cabrini could upset gmc and take the top seed for the tourney?

Sorry, welcome Patriot hope you chime in alot. Makes it fun and informative. Will you be heading to any games today?

Creative juices going. I will not be attending today's game. Other obligations. I expect full write up of your thoughts on both games (on both boards) after they are over.

I can not give you any insight on the trophy, other than I heard them talking about it in pre-season. I'll be looking forward to seeing it on Monday Night.

GO CAVS BEAT GMC!!!

Mailsy- any word yet on the potential return of GW? Is he injured? It can't be an academic thing because he played four games after classes started second semester. Is he at the games? Obviously the Cavs are figuring out how to play without him, but if he comes back will that mess things up?

Battle of Eagle Road on Monday

I have seen him at the games. I was told something in confidence why he is not playing and I don't know if will get resolved for him to be able to play. I hope so. He's a good kid and he wants to play. He is a talent and it shouldn't mess things up much, since he did play half a season with them.

I am looking forward to the battle of Eagle Road.

BTW who on Eastern's team can get rattled. I'm looking to start a chant. We rattled Arnold Johnson for 3 1/2 years when he played Cabrini until he finally blocked it out in his senior year.

Mailsy, your interest in confidentiality is admirable. However, I wasn't told what you were told in confidence. The reason Glenn Washington is not playing is because he kind of forgot to register for classes this semester. I also hear that Cabrini might have to forfeit the games that he played in during this semester. Hey, Glenn, you're not in the pros yet! You actually do need to at least show up for classes, even at Cabrini.

Chiz --- not sure what your source is, but there are a lot of things that can happen with a registrar's office that may be beyond a kid's control. I'm inclined to believe Mailsy that it is a mix up, and that it is probably a very difficult situation. For Glenn's sake, I hope the situation gets resolved quickly. He is an excellent player and a really nice kid.

Chiz-- every story you hear probably has a lot more sides to it than you are prepared to consider. Keep that in mind before you blast someone you don't know in a public forum.

I haven't seen the trophy, but I have heard it will be worth winning.

IUuKno · February 07, 2009, 11:18:27 AM

Well thank you chiz for at least saying what we all already know. It may be a mix up and it may not be any one individual's fault but the fact of the matter is if someone is not enrolled in classes they can't play. Plain and simple and the fact that this situation extended to the tune of what 4 games? That is unacceptable. Teams lose kids all the time over the semester breaks and its never good for the school or individual and having played on a team where that has lost people in a similar mannor, I am suprised to see how this has played out. Let's just hope they resolve this before the end of the season...

Chair, really a registrar's issue? Do you actually believe that the problem was somehow that the registrar forgot to process Washington's paperwork? I have been involved in colleges enough and went through enough college/post-grad to be reticent to believe that. Maybe less conjecture on your part would end some of the rumors that people are hearing.

BTW, I'm sure he's a nice kid, too.

chairman · February 07, 2009, 12:51:14 PM

What happens if a bank decides that they are not going to continue to extend a student loan? In other times in history, a family could go find another bank or the college might be able to set up a plan. We don't live in those times. I'm not saying this is what happened, but there are situations that are more plausible than just didn't register for second semester classes and wanted to be a pro player.

If you named your source, I would be inclined to give your explaation some credence. But for now, I am more inclined to believe Mailsy in his explanation from the kid himself that it is a complicated situation.

chairman · February 07, 2009, 12:59:04 PM

One more thing ... A pretty significant number of people who went to college in the 90's defaulted on their student loans, so it is more difficult for kids today to get and keep that supply of funding.

IUuKno · February 07, 2009, 01:06:50 PM

Thats all well and good, but the real issue here is whether or not rules have been broken and if they have, then that will drastically change the course of this season.

hIdeUmm · February 07, 2009, 03:44:28 PM

Nice Solid Win for the Macs today. Sloppy and inconsistent at bad times to let BBC get back in the game but Rob Siter iced it with 4 crucial foul shots. hopefully it starts a run. Last year IU was 1-4 in the final 5 games. lets not repeat that again this year.

dwarf · February 07, 2009, 04:13:32 PM

Cabrini up 1 12 minutes to go--G Washington is playing

tonymnm · February 07, 2009, 05:05:34 PM

Great job to Centenary!!! They just beat Keystone 81-74. Hope the Cyclones keep fighting till the end thats two in a row!!! Big one Monday at home vs. BB for a fight for one of the last playoff spots. Wow cant believe Im saying that about my Cyclones a game that means something in Febuary!!!

IUuKno · February 07, 2009, 05:17:44 PM

GMC giving up over 90 points in 3 straight games? Effort or design which is it? Congrats to Cabrini, Centenary and IU for big wins.

Chair thank you, for being a voice of reason. Certain issues are beyond the control of a person sometimes as well as a college and should remain confidential. It would be public knowledge if any violations existed so move on Chiz. There are over 4,329 by laws for compliance with certain conditions that effect whether or not any by-laws have been broken as well as full-time compliance officers, commissioners so please chill out the issue is history.

The men outworked GMC today as a team and came out ready to win. They were not going to lose today. GMC made some dum fouls and turnovers which did not help them. Washington did not play until well into the first half. They were up the most without him in the game but he hit a couple of clutch 3's. It was the Mischeivicious show and hardwork by every player.
Defense wins and the Cavs actually rebounded today.

Trust Mailsy he is a credible source Chiz. Chairman understands.

See you Monday Chiz. Nice to have you back on the board. You like to chime in when the Cavs play EU.. Hey Chiz tell us about this trophy since you know so much will ya? How is EU doing in the MAC? I know they beat Manhattan and Alvernia but overall I know they have some young bucks and the refs in the MAC make it harder over there. Let me know.
