MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

[Wolfpac]

Hey Mailsy did you ever see the teams in the ODAC play?  Well  3 or 4 in the conference will probably be playing in the tourney.  They can shoot have depth and big guys who are not stiffs......

RMC lost to the Quakers so maybe we will get a home game.  Rather play RMC than another team from their conference.  Seems like each guy can hit the three and all can rebound.  The Cavs will have a tough matchup but the rims are all still 10 ft high so don't count them out yet.

[Wolfpac]

How is RMC?  I know they have a big guy #54 and a small gaurd that buried 5 of 6 consecutively vs Guilford but after he cooled off their defense looked like they struggled. Granted they are in one strong conference playing against a final 4 team with a 6'10 dude who could play. They may have a tough time if they have to put the ball on the floor the whole game but the Cavs need the big men to step up down low as well.

Anyone know if there will be enough seats at Albright for Cav fans that make the trip?   Game time is set for 6 pm.

The start time kills me on a Friday so hopefully I can make it.... but on Saturday if the Cavs are playing I will be there.  I know of a few others as well.

Albright seats about 2400, but from my previous experience, parking is tough to find.

Now I see why Cabrini is going to Albright.  They are ranked 3rd regionally.  Otherwise they'd be making the trip to King's Point.

Thx Reserved Seat......parking sucks I guess.   At least Marcus Kahn is no stranger to Albright college.  Hope that helps us if we somehow win round one and play on Saturday.    Hey Mailsy may not make it Friday unless something changes but definite for Saturday if they play.

If anyone going to see the Cavs tickets on sale at Dixon Center check Cabrini website they expect a sellout so hurry.

Greetings to CSAC posters from Ashland, VA -- we'll have a smaller, but very energetic crowd on hand.

Can anyone share any parking tips-- we will not even have time to check into our hotels so could use some inside info to make the tipoff.

Thanks in advance and best of luck to all competing at Albright this weekend!

Parking I hear is very "tight" in other words; not great.  Get there early if you want to park or you could be walking a long way to the gym.

I heard the parking got better than 2005.

Are you good to go now Mailsy..........better be.

[Wolfpac]

OK PREDICTIONS......



Albright will take care of Clark.
RMC & the Cavs..........RMC should win on paper but the Cavs could fool them with their gaurds if the 3's work as well.  Would not be surprised if Cabrini takes it but would not be surprised if RMC wins either. Close one to call, home field could go to Cabrini as well.  Cavs score in the 80's they may win with defense.
RMC scores in the 80's the Cavs will be on the line and the game is up for grabs.

2nd rd......I believe Albright goes down and the winner is off to NJ or NY. 

Question is how will the refs call it?   Will there be contact and less fouls or more fouls with less contact?   Game may be won on the line.

It looks like Cabrini-RMC could be one of the real gems of the first round. Should be a barnburner in Reading -- good luck to the Cavs.

Thanks rw it is going to be a fun night watching these two teams play.  I'm looking forward to a W for the Cavs.   Let's hope so, anyway.  But I feel good.  Tonight's going to be a good night.

A great article on Cabrini and Chris Blake on the blogs.

Chris Blake a class act....


Tonight Cabrini got  E X P O S E D

The ball does not lie........ the weak S O S  and playing in the weakest conference does not add up to the level of competition in the tourney like a  RMC team from the ODAC !   

What is the tuition down there?  The Cavs need lots of recruiting with big not only tall but big men for the middle and some guys who can hit the cotton and swing the ball.  A point gaurd cannot do it all.  Need a deeper bench and hit the weight room.  Those flags in the Dixon Center for FINAL 32 and Sweet  16 got there from legendary coaching and hard work on the hardwood not luck.  The Cavs have to play more games at this level to learn how to win in the tourney.
Playing a weak LVC, Drew, and EU is not going to cut it even if it gives a team a fluffy record.

RMC is good granted, but Cabrini played terrible.  I will still support the Cavs but they have a long way to go to become a regional or national powerhouse unless they get more support from their administration.    Cannot figure the coaching strategy out last night either for a 1-3-1 defense but I am not a coach so it does not matter.  Cannot blame the refs.....seems like they did not play their game and got intimidated. Perhaps they needed to go to their bench earlier.

Wolf-

We saw this coming. It's hard to blame Cabrini for SOS when 18 of 25 are already picked for you as conference games. We were looking at the SOS and we came to the realization that Cabrini's top RPI win was across the street in St. Davids. That was a nice win against an EU team that battled in the Freedom Conference, but after that it's Keystone and Drew and an LVC team that didn't make the league playoffs in the Commonwelath.

That being said, they won the games on their schedule. A couple years ago they weren't doing that. They have to hope that the top of the CSAC comes up a little so that those games are more preparation for regional level competition. Congrats to the players who have grown with the program there.
