#23 in the top 25 preseason poll. I know they're going to better than last year. Just a little surprised that they are ranked. Just a little. Thought they would get some votes. Definitely nice to see. 13 days til season opener against Eastern.

GO CAVS!!!

Hey ronk! Are you planning to attend that night?

Hey ronk! Are you planning to attend that night?

No, the combo of distance and heavy traffic around Baltimore and the Philly suburbs usually cause me to pass on the midweek doubleheader, but I will watch the videostream.

Ronk, our little hamlets out in the Philly suburbs (bucolic Doylestown/Chalfont/New Britain/Buckingham/Solebury) are getting a little more clogged (avoid Route 611 like the plague) as those darned New Yawkers and North Joisey types move down to escape the insanity. My new neighbor (who sounds like a cast member from that awful show, Jersey Shore, called it a "quality of life" decision!

I'm leaning towards attending, now; have a sister not far from Cabrini that I could visit with in the afternoon before the double-header. Will decide closer to gameday.

If you're there, look me up. I usually sit across the court from the Cavs bench. 2nd or 3rd row from the floor. Close enough to yell at the refs.

Throwing this in here because I forgot to do it last week.

The new national coordinator of officials was the CSAC assignor the last four seasons. Thought the group would like to know that: http://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2017/10/ncaa-officials-coordinator

He's a top notch guy and he's got cajones, too.  He scheduled the referee, who blew the call in the CSAC semifinal game in 2016(Cabrini @Neumann that certainly effected the outcome of that game) on opening night at Cabrini when they hosted Eastern to start the 2016-17 season. You got a love it.

Cabrini tabbed as favorites to win the CSAC. Neumann is 2nd with Gwynedd not to far behind in 3rd and then everybody else.

 Nice victory for Cabrini over Scranton last night; could have gone either way. Scranton played fairly well, better than their 3 most recent games. After the big 3-pter to give Cabrini the lead in the last half minute, I fully agreed with the Cabrini strategy of fouling vs defending a possible tying 3-pt attempt by Scranton.
