MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

[WolfPAC]

Wolf,

For the record, the game was at the Bollman center. But I do believe Alvernia charges $5 for a game as well. It's the 4th D3 game I have gone to see live this year, and every one of them has been a bargain. In my opinion (and I am sure most of the junkies on here agree), D3 basketball is the last pure level of hoops remaining.

Alvernia struggled because Albright was physical, and there was (at least in the first half) a lot of standing around when the ball was shot. 1 guy fighting, and 4 guys outside the arc. Their rebounding improved in the second half, although they didn't need a whole lot of it when they shot over 60%.

The first 6 guys for Alvernia might not be as good as last year's squad, but they are damn close. If someone can step up on the bench to give them some more help, AC could be scary in February!

Thx Coach K.  for the Alvernia recap... Alvernia will only get better if healthy I am sure in February they will be there and more.   

I agree totally with your assessment that D3 is the last pure form of basketball out there.  You are right on!!

The NBA is disgusting with the millions they get paid for showing up while D1 &d2 is about money and entertainment most of the time.  D3 is all guts and no glory due to hard fought battles & hard work.   Pure basketball!

Chiz Wiz,

I feel that Cabrini lineup would be best in the PAC. I think you would be looking at 4 All League players with 2 on the first team. I would think Dailey and Reid would make first team with McMahon (5th year Senior) and Fitzgerald (Junior) making the list. Really, it doesn't matter. It is pretty stupid to debate regardless. It's only a matter on opinion.

Hey, if you say Coach N is full time then I will take your word for it. At least I am man enough to admit I was wrong.

I am NOT wrong about the Cabrini AD pushing out Dzik. I dont need any phone numbers, I can go to the Piedmont website and get John's phone number myself thank you. And you can also go to www.keepjohndzik.com and read the following quote:

"As you are aware, it was not my decision to leave the college. I was forced out by one person – Dr. Toni Iadarola. The blame lies clearly with her. Regardless of what spin you may hear from her subordinates, Toni carefully orchestrated a plan for my removal." - John Dzik

Dzik gave the AD his job. The AD had NOTHING to do with Dziks removal. It was ALL the president. But you said I should review my sources before I post..... I just did that. Yes, my source this time is John Dzik himself.

Where and when did John Dzik coach his last game?   Thats right, and with the same guys that would have been in the 7 you speak of he still got outplayed because Cabrini was not good enough.  Alvernia would beat them in any of the past 3 years in the playoffs.

Cabrini played them tough at home last year but could not execute or shoot the 3...   Cabrini would probably not be able to beat Eastern with those guys this year.  Be realistic with or without Dzik the program has been falling behind in recruiting due to the results of an egotistical president who doesn't care about athletics.   Bricks and mortar only.


So.... back to the AD at Cabrini.... why didn't SHE step down when Dzik was pushed out?   Only to save her job created by Dzik I guess.  SHE was stuck between a rock and a hard place and when push came to shove SHE put herself first not rocking the boat with the president.

You may not trust her, but can you blame her?   Not entirely because the president used her puppets to execute her plan. 

Get rid of the president and Cabrini will have a legitimate basketball program again.

Cheap Wiz;

Only student I know of with parole problems was thrown out of Cabrini and accepted with open arms at Eastern!

As far as full time coaches in the PAC ther are none!

Coach Grundmann at Marywood is also the Assistant Ad and coaches another sport in the spring so he would be on the campus full time.

The rest are Part time.

Might need a refund from the Dollar Store on your Info!

$10 to watch Cabrini play? How do they keep the huge masses who buy endzone seats from migrating to the center? I hear the women's team might be worth the price of admission. I think every team in the PAC should raise their ticket prices for their home Cabrini game to retaliate.

[chairman]

Interesting side note. All of the players who saw time in Eastern's last five games are at their first college. I know this is a new thing for Eastern, and it will obviously change if Bobby Black returns to play second semester, but I am curious to know if there are any other PAC teams using this model. Not knocking the transfer route, but one team starts a kid playing for his third PAC school. Just throwing it out there to see if it will stick. Also, No Wesley chatter on the board, and at this point they could be classified as being as dissappointing as Cabrini. I know they are out of state, but why is no one talking about that?

[allstar scout]

Chair:

First of all Bobby Black was enrolled at Cabrini until Dzik got let go They a;so have Ben Easley coming back who has been at several colleges,Cabeini, Del. Val. , Com College, Wesley has the big kid who transferred in from Del State, Neumann has DJ Fritz transfer from Phila. U and there are others.

Not unusual in DIII for kids to move around, just unusual for there to be kids still trying to play by trying to get over on the NCAA with they're eligibility. I have been told the NCAA are looking at DIII because of kids going to a school for a semester to play then dropping and transferring. Several players are being looked at now!

WolfPac:

They only charged you $10.00 because they had your picture on the "Most Wanted " list at the front desk!

$5.00 is the going rate!

EU probably has a better chance of helping a student out than a school with a nincompoop for a president.  I'm voting that EU keeps its arms wide open for deserving kids.

I'm not going to argue with you guys about the full-time thing anymore.

All Star, it sounds like Bobby Black coming back to play for EU is still up in the air.  Are you saying that Ben Easley is going to play at EU, or somewhere else?

I agree.  It's not unusual for D3 kids to move around, but it seems a bit much when they go to more than two schools.  Hopefully it's more of an academic concern (in that the schools weren't the right fit), but on Black and Easley's part, it seemed to be more of an athletic concern.

[chizwiz]

Ditto on the PAC schools raising the price of admission when Cabrini comes to play.  For that price at Cabrini, I think Cavaliers fans would be better off watching a movie at Wayne Theater.  Then again, they can watch the women beat up on their opponents on a 2-for-1 deal.

[Coach K]

$10 is a lot if it is true, but to be honest, I would rather pay that at Cabrini, then pay that same amount for a Sixers ticket at the moment (courtside or nosebleed).

Alvernia hopefully won't have a let down tomorrow against an always tough F&M squad. I know someone mentioned Miseri and Wilkes on the 23rd. What other good PAC action is going on this week?

What is the exact situation with Black? Injuries or grades or both? I have heard all sorts of nonsense.

Does anyone exist at the following PAC schools on here? GMC, Marywood, Miseri, Wesley and Arcadia? We never hear anything about these schools!! Come on people, talk it up.

I think this is magical post #400, WHOO HOO!!

[WolfPAC]

I could be mistaken, but the 10.00 may have been for a playoff game which was awhile ago.......

Still a better deal than the sixers I agree..

Come to think of it I was on their most wanted list passing out the KeepJohnDzik literature at the front desk.   

I may be mistaken but I am sure they charge 10.00 for the center vs. the end seating  while Dzik was there.  They actually had real tickets printed as well.. may signify it was a playoff game which may have justified the price.  I am almost positive the sections were roped off and the ends were the cheap seats.  If I am wrong I apologize. 


Maybe Cabrini will start paying people to go to the game if the Cavs lose to Arcadia after the holidays.

Chiz;

My information has the former ward of the state returning to play at Eastern for the second semester!

The headlines might go something like this:
"Easley returns to Eastern and is caught as an ineligible player by the NCAA and the Eastern Eagles are put on probation for four years!"

Those of us who support Cabrini athletics strongly support Easley to EU!!
He does the same thing to  the Eastern team as T.O did to the Eagles last year, dissention That is why Black may not return because of what happened last year between the two of them!

Wouldn't be proud to be an EU guy if that happens, gives the school a bad name and coach N a black eye!
I guess I am surprised that the school would allow such a thing  but it is what it is!


And Wolfie:

The price is $5.00 for entrance! But we would be happy to have you over and accept your $10.00 any time!
