Regular season is winding down.  Playoffs start Saturday. 

Cabrini hosts Philly Bible tonight.  Cavs should win unless there is a total meltdown. 
Centenary is on the road at Marywood.  If Centenary wins tonight they most likely will clinch the final spot.  (I don't see them imploding against PBU on Thurs. But anything is possible)
Immaculata plays at GMC.  This game will end IU's chances at the playoffs(they are probably going to lose)

Food for thought. The Macs are the only team to hold GMC in the 50's all season and the MACS need to win to stay alive GMC is in and have been known to take games off down the stretch. Macs are 2-0 in the last 2 trips to the Griffin Complex both heart breakers.

HideHumm,

I read you loud and clear, I would hope the Macs win ! !   Never say never, Gmc can fold up the tent.    I hope you guys manage to win then the last game at IU becomes more meaningful to the Cavs and IU go Cavs and Macs.

Mailsy see  ya at the Dixon center.

My heart tells me I want The Macs to win.  You are correct about Macs beating GMC the last 2 years at The Griffin Complex.  Here is some other food for thought.  2006-07 GMC record 14-13 (12-6) 2007-08 GMC record 21-10 (10-6). 2006-07 IU record 12-16 (10-8) 2007-08 IU record 18-10 (11-5).

Let's look at this year GMC 18-5 (11-3) IU 7-16 (5-9). Yes all well and true that anything can happen.  However, GMC record at home 9-0 (7-0).  They have an almost 17 point differential at home.  IU on the other hand, on the road, is 2-10 (1-6) their point differential is a negative 4.

However, my head tells me IU pretty much has no chance.  But I hope I am wrong because it benefits Cabrini.

Wolfie, I'll be at the game.

Is your wife coming? Bring her!!!

[IUuKno]

nice fluff stats but the past two season mean nothing bc both these teams are completely different from 06-07 to now, on the other side this yr's stats tell you everything you need to know....needless to say it will take something extraordinary for the MAC's to pull it off tonight...im thinking double digit 3's and 60% or above from the field, but who knows?  thats why they play the game...

Big Win For My CYCLONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  PAYBACK vs marywood!

[Coach C]

GMC locks up a first round bye with the win tonight over the Macs.  10 point game throughout.

[tonymnm]

CONGRATS TO MY CYCLONES!!!! They came back from 14 down to beat Marywood 87-84. I think with that win and IMACS loss we clinch the last spot!!!!!

Unofficially, you have.  I don't see your cyclones losing to PBU. 

[tonymnm]

Mailsy,

                   I was following the breakdown you gave us from the CSAC. After head to head its competition versus the top seeds and Neumann lost both games to GMC and Cabrini, but Centenary beat Cabrini once, so assuming Cabrini is a two seed that should give it to the Cyclones. If there is a chance of them slipping to three than it might change things.

[hIdeUmm]

How is it unofficially mailsy? Even if the Cyclones lose nd Neumann wins they tie and Centenary has a win vs cabrini and Keystone.

I was typing something else and I see hIdeImm snuck in before my post.  I forgot NC has two losses to KC and CC split.  So it probably is official.  But win out anyway you should beat Philly Bible.  They've had the "B" beaten out of them this year. Cyclones should be able to push PBU's streak into next season and you want to go into the playoffs on a high note.

[lefty2]

I would say it's unofficial until there is star by your name on the conference website, but I don't stars by any names.

No offense to Mailsy, I'd still wait to hear from the CSAC office before I printed my playoff tix.

After games played thru 2/17/09 and with one conference game remaining, for most teams, the final order has not been set.

1 Gwynedd-Mercy   12   3   0.800 *
2 Cabrini                11   4   0.733 *
3 Keystone             10   5   0.667 *
4 Marywood            9    6   0.600 *
5 Baptist Bible         8    8   0.500 *
6 Centenary            7    8   0.467 *
   Neumann             6    9   0.400
   Immaculata          5    10   0.333
   Philadelphia Bible   0   15   0.000

* Clinched playoff spot

I still believe Cabrini can get the number one seed(that will be tough) But looking at tiebreakers I don't think they can move down(even with loss), and to get the number one, GMC would have to lose, of course Cabrini has to win.   But still I don't even know if that's enough based on tiebreakers and positioning of teams.  It is all so confusing. 

Oh yeah and only one more to go!
