MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

CCHoopster · February 23, 2012, 08:46:49 AM

Hello CSAC peeps.... Had a quick question for you guys.... I saw a school named Bryn Athyn College just minutes from Philadelphia (I think near Gywnedd Mercy) will be starting a Men's program in the '13-'14 season. Their athletics page says they will be NCAA in the very near future. Have you heard any rumblings whether or not they join the CSAC?

Hope to be D-III, I would say. I haven't seen them on any list yet of schools in provisional or exploratory status. They have to have the right number of sports before they can even apply, so to say it will be the very near future might be exaggerating things a bit.

Big night at the Dixon Center for the CSAC final. Keystone travels down to Radnor to take on the Cavs. Will be a great game tonight.

GO CAVS!!!

Big advantage for Cabrini-long drive for Keystone.
Still looking forward to an F&M/Cabrini game.

Congrats to Cabrini. Three time CSAC Regular Season and Tourney Champions. First time a threepeat winner since the 92-98 Cabrini teams did it. Aaron Walton-Moss had a monster game on the boards (18) also had 18 points and was named MVP. Congrats to him.

Gordon it is always good to see you. See everyone next week. Should be interesting to see who the Cavs have next Friday.

GO CAVS!!!

All I know is they are adding 5 sports to compete in compliance with NCAA and will be DIII. I personally have heard no rumblings but would not doubt if a CSAC team would drop out the way the economy is with these small schools and budgets. Also one never knows if a school will join another conference like the MAC say a Keystone or Cabrini , I will keep my ears open for ya though.

Thanks so much.... That would be a scary conference to join with all the talent! I could see a school like that going to the NEAC like PSU Abington. Anyway, congrats to Cabrini and coach Small.... I would like to see Nevada Smith and Keystone get an invite to the big dance! I like that guy....

Wow I got the big dawg Pat Coleman responding, thanks Pat, I know how busy you are! Are these lists available to view somewhere? Would be neat to see..... Also, I did not mean to say "Very near future" I should have quoted their AD better. He mentioned in a press release near future, maybe he meant applying but it did not say. Thanks anyway!!

And no offense. Let's hope they're not on a list for the CSAC. There are enough "little sisters of the poor" in this conference.

So with Cabrini, F&M and Messiah in, is there a chance they all go to Cabrini? If Penn State Harrisburg was to win today, would they round out that four if so? Thanks

Maybe Messiah and PSH. I see F&M probably getting a pod themselves. But with the "proximity" to Cabrini, they might be sent elsewhere. Won't know until tomorrow. Remember they still could send teams from the Atlantic as well as the East region to Cabrini.

Makes sense, thanks.... i was thinking why not F&M for a pod as well.

mailsy · February 26, 2012, 05:17:43 PM

PSH won't be in. It's Morrisville St. from the NEAC. They could send Morrisville in to the MidAtlantic as it is only 239 miles away from Cabrini and 257 to F&M.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · February 27, 2012, 05:18:48 PM

Look like I'll be headed up to Cabrini again this Friday. I don't think the pod is nearly as good as last year's, but I'm hoping for some excitement.

When/if you hear about ticket info, someone post and let me know.

mailsy · February 27, 2012, 08:17:27 PM

I heard they will be selling at the door. There will probably be tickets available. Teams are from Vermont (327 Miles), Ohio (479) and New York (299). I don't know how well those teams' fans travel, but I'm sure there will be tickets available. Spring break starts for Cabrini that weekend.

mailsy · February 27, 2012, 08:22:26 PM

Also Cavs now ranked 5th! Wow what a year. Won't matter much if they don't do well in the tourney.
