MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

All Star,

That was all very entertaining.

I do not think Easley has eligibility left, very doubtful he will be playing at EU again. Black should return second semester as he is battling an injury.

[chairman]

wolfpac I think you  should check your sources on Easley and his return. He is currently working toward his degree at Eastern, but he does not have eligibility.  As for Black, his return will be contingent upon the results of his classes from first semester. when he got sick he missed a ton of school. not to mention basketball. he will have to take care of all that as soon as he is healthy. he was at Eastern's last home gamen but he was still struggling with dizziness.

Chiz:

Glad to offer some humor with the post!

Can't always be so serious!

Sources are definitely saying Easley will return, I agree he does not have eligibility left! Went to too many schools.

I also agree he was an embarrassment last year, and a problem for the team and team chemistry!


Chairman:

Easley was one of your kids before? You seem to know him well!

AllStar, all kidding aside, your sources are incorrect.  While Easley or people around him may think he is going to play for EU, it will take more than him giving his "well-earned non-drug money" to the school for him to be given the chance to get more turnovers.

$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!!

Not much room on hear for non Alvernia/Eastern junkies and/or non-Cabrini bashers.
I've seen a bunch of PAC games this year and the league is as wide-open as ever.  Any night, anyone can win.  Thats good for competition.
With several wins against the "powerhouse" MAC, it would appear the gap has closed.  Now that the MAC is digging in to the PAC for teams, the gap will only get smaller.  To be honest I'm not sure there is a gap anymore, just a perception issue.

Any comments?

The information I spoke of came right from the horses mouth as Ben told many people. If I am wrong I certainly apologise as we do not need bad information being spread on the board although there sure seems to be a lot!

Anyway I will do some questioning and will hit you back later when and if I get more insight into this subject.

Stay tuned for more!

Check who you respond to please... I never mentioned a word about B. Easley.  I only like his gold chains not his style of play. I think you mean scout or chiz or eagle or something but I never commented on Easley.

Sad note:

Cabrini grad and former player Marty Clancy passed away this weekend.

No Details as of yet.

In total respect, rest in peace, Marty.  I'm sure the Cabrini and PAC community will miss Mr. Clancy.

No need to apologize, All Star.  We all give incorrect information at times.  I believe that you spoke to Ben and am not surprised that he wants to play and thinks he is going to play.  However, I will match anybody's bet if they say he is going to play for EU.  My information, which is probably better than Ben's, says he is definitely not playing for EU.

I'm sure the team would love to have him as a donor to the program.  By the way, has anybody ever asked him where he got the money for that great car he drives?

[chizwiz]

hoopzwiz,

Yeah, I get what you're hinting at.  I don't think the MAC is as mighty as it used to be or feels it is.  However, which top half teams in the MAC has the PAC beaten?  Just one - E-town, who is not currently in the top of the MAC-C.  Our schedule against both MAC F & C is below.

Susquehanna beats Marywood 95-57
Neumann beats E-town 72-69
Widener beats Immac 87-78
Leb Val beats Arcadia 56-49
Del Val beats Arcadia 59-55
Widener beats Cabrini 61-46
Susquehanna beats Miseri 70-68
DeSales beats Cabrini 69-63
Miseri beats DeSales 85-80
Wilkes beats Immac 78-72
Scranton beats Miseri 57-48
Alvernia beats Albright 93-85
Scranton beats Cabrini 89-60

The PAC's record is 3-10 against the PAC.  As much as I'd like to see us succeed against the MAC and prove that we are better than them, but the limited stats here show that such is not true.

hoopzwiz, while I think the gap is closing, it is not even or near there.  While there are a few games yet, I still think the MAC has an easy argument that it is a better conference currently.

Chiz,

Kudos on the effort.  I had a stinky suspicion that research would show a less than stellar result against the MAC season to date.  Anyone feel like running a little more research on remaining schedule against the MAC?  I wonder if we can get back to .500.  Alvernia had just one MAC school on the schedule and the Crusaders contributed with a win over Albright.  That leads me to believe there is a less than slim chance that we have seven of more MAC games left.

Alvernia / F&M live on the web starting at 7:30 tonight.

MAC v. PAC ... does it really matter? I hope, for certain posters, this isn't one of those "mine's-bigger-than-yours" infantile contests. Life's too short for such nonsense.

[chairman]

While it is not the only validation of the league, there is no doubt that PAC coaches find themselves recruiting against MAC coaches for players probably more than any other conference. Just looking at the list, a lot of those PAC-MAC games have featured PAC teams near the bottom of the league. Cabrini, Arcadia, Marywood, and immaculata are a combined 0-7 (immaculata has come up just short in its two games. Miseri at 1-2 vs. the MC is probably a playoff team in the PAC, and Neumann and Alvernia, who look to be contenders are each 1-0. It is hard to compare Apples to apples on this one. Eastern starts second semester against Widener.
