EU beats Valley Forge by about a dozen.

[chairman]

It was a bakers dozen. Ty Coleman explodes for 25 on just 13 shots. No trips to the foul line. Johnson had eight blocks in the game. Does anyone know if Dehran Patrick reads the board. From the first half of the Alvernia game it looks like he might. (I'm not really giving myself credit on that at all, it just looks like he is having a big time bounceback game.

[Jon]

Patrick had a good bounceback game...he was en fuego in the first half, but the Crusaders had enough to win their 20th straight at home, 71-59.

[chairman]

First off, I think we need to correct an oversight on the board and offer well-earned congratulations to Rashawn Johnson who picked up his 1000th point Monday night at Cabrini. To score that many points in that short of time frame is very impressive. (It feels like he scored like 600 of those against EU, but it turns out he just does that to everyone.) In other milestone news, Lenny DiMaria moved to 990 career points with an 18 point effort today, and will in all likelihood hit the 1000 point mark next week.

Chair, are you sure DiMaria isn't at 989?

Wow, is it 1000 already?  That's just amazing.  And he's only a sophomore.  It's only natural to wonder if he will break the 2000 point mark (of course, out of conference) by the time he graduates.

chair,

2:30 a.m. posting speaks to either serious dedication to the PAC or insomnia.  DelBrocco always gets our best defender when we face the Griffins...I think those kinds of coaching moves speak volumes to a team's respect for an opponent.

I could give Johnson (EU version) another look...having watched what the Crusaders roll out on offense every night I'm a bit spoiled as far as offensive Division 3 players go.  Opponents would never pick Etzel out of our lineup during warm ups, but he's been sneaky deadly.  Shawell probably sticks out a bit, and now that he's warmed up I think I'd like to see him against some of the non-conference regional competition.

How about the unofficial "PAC Chat Room Defensive Player of the Year."  We can accept votes from anyone with a valid posting ID and 10 or more PAC posts in a season.

Jon, I do think you should give M. Johnson another look.  He may not have the points, but that should not always be the factor.  His defense is extremely strong and look at his blocks, rebounds, and steals.  It takes all of those things to win, as you obviously know over in Alvernia.

[chairman]

chizwiz you may be right on the total. either way, it looks like Monday night. Another win for CAbrini today. After seeing the second half of the Cabrini/ Marywood game today, I'm very comfortable with my original assessment. I think either would contribute to any PAC roster, but I think they both produce numbers that don't resemble what they would produce on a better team.
They should both be honorable mention picks, but in my opinion, and that's all it is, they are both outside the top eleven players in the league.

Jon,

I took the liberty of using your matrix as a template to keep the women's playoff scenarios up-to-date.

It's posted on the PAC women's page - we'll see if anyone notices.

Thanks, Lefty.  I've been thinking about watching paint dry more often, so this women's basketball stuff might come in handy.

[chairman]

Not quite the same drama on the women's side. The haves and have nots are pretty clearly defined over there. Chiz, if you got time to watch paint dry...

[chizwiz]

Three words:  Above the rim

[lefty2]

Congratulations to Rashawn Johnson.  Sophomores scoring 1,000 points are few and far between.

According to my calculations, he did it in his 46th career game.

For reference, Willie Chandler did it in his 38th game on his way to 2,898 points - 2nd all-time in D-III.

[chizwiz]

My picks for tonight:

Cabrini @ Arcadia - Arcadia by 6
Gwynedd @ Alvernia - Vern by 10 (I've got a good feeling about this)
Wesley @ Immaculata - Wesley by 5
Miseri @ Scarywood - the Wood by 2 (in a buzzer beater that should have buzzed much earlier)
