Just read this article about former Keystone coach Nevada Smith. It's pretty cool

Good luck to the 4 teams playing today at 3:00 pm.

Keystone at Neumann
Rosemont at Immaculata

I believe both Neumann and Immaculata will defend their home court today and move on to Tuesday night.

[mailsy]

Semis are set. Neumann took care of home court beating Keystone 80-73. Keystone led at the half. They will now travel to the unfriendly confines  of the Griffin Complex and take on Gwynedd Mercy Tuesday night.

Rosemont beat Immaculata on IU's home court 80-69. They will now take on Cabrini at 7:00 at Nerney Fieldhouse in the Dixon Center.

GO CAVS!!!

Great article on Nevada Smith, including quotes from the Cabrini coach and stories from his time coaching in D3:

[mailsy]

Cavaliers win 109-97 over Rosemont. Neumann wins 95-78. Will travel to Radnor to face Cabrini on Friday 2/25 at 7:00.

Mailsy,
  What's the story with G-M's Arron Goodman, averaging a double-double, but didn't play after 1/15? He was very impressive last year with his one semester @ Cabrini.

[mailsy]

Broke his wrist dunking a ball on the last scoring play of the game against Centenary on 1/15.

He never fit into Cabrini. Just wasn't comfortable.

[mailsy]

5 in a row now. Neumann took an early lead. But once the Cavs got going they never looked back. Neumann did get it down to 5 at 48-43 early in the second half and the next thing you know it was 57-43. Then the Cavs were up by 20 minutes later. Cavs were up 26 (91-65) with under 4 minutes to go and that's when Coach Kahn emptied the bench. Moments later Neumann's coach did the same. Great game on Cavs part. Looking forward to who they have next when the bracket is announced on Monday.

GO CAVS!!!

I'll probably be heading up to Cabrini again Friday.

Cabrini got a great draw - Bridgewater may be the worst team in the tournament (or not really any better than the worst team).

[mailsy]

Going into the tourney Cavs are now ranked 4th. Other teams in the pod ranked are Stockton at #22 and Bowdoin at #35. Bridgewater not ranked.
