MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

Yeah, uhh, the Cavs aren't beating Catholic.  Well, maybe once in 10 games.  You have to be kidding.  I have too much respect for Catholic, even in its weakened state this year, to believe that any Catholic player (or coach) would allow a weak Cabrini team to beat them.

FYI -the Lady Cavs rolled over Notre Dame 85-44 now they are 12-1 (17-5).
Just so all of you know.   Wolfpac was not a smite monster.  Now you have the proof. 

Tempted to ride to Reading.  Voting for the Crusaders.   Want to play them not Immac.   Be honest Mailsy.   Would you rather lose to Immac or Alvernia or win against Immac or Alvernia?

Hoping the Crusaders beat EU and Immac sorry Chiz, Hidehum ...........
I also like the pizza better at the Vern.   If anyone saw the Duke/ Maryland game last night with the Duke defense I think the Cavs are adapting this style of defense.   Seems  the Vern plays some junk defenses at times but they get the job done.  (Triangle and double by coach Miller)  Someone may have their number.   

Jon- help us out.   If we get to the Vern again  Mailsy and somehow pull an upset we get to visit the Cemetary even though it would never be the same.


Pat Coleman--- I know the Cavs defense is a long way away from Duke so chill.   I think the Cavs could beat Catholic though.

Chiz, that was only a sarcastic remark meant for Pat Coleman because of his affiliation with Catholic.  It is obvious Cabrini could not beat them this year.  However..... I am hoping to see you and EU at the Dixon Center on Monday night so we can solve this playoff puzzle once and for all!

May the best team win.

So I've been thinking about Cabrini's success as of late, and am wondering if maybe some of the posters here are being a little too optimistic or unrealistic.  So the Cavs beat Neumann, sure, good win.  But where was DJ Fritz.  Ah, well, that's part of basketball.

Before that, the Cavs beat Centenary, uhh, 4-17 Centenary, by 2.  Centenary has beaten only Marywood in conference and St. Joe's (Brooklyn) and Berkeley.  We are talking about glorified high school teams.  The Cavs beat Centenary by 2.  If there was a line, it had to have been around 15.  Granted, a win is a win.  But follow me here please.

Prior to that, Cabrini beats Miseri.  Good win.

Before that, Cabrini beats a weakened team in Immaculata.  Where were Hyman and Lepone?  We know where, but Cabrini seems to think they're the bee's knees by winning against a less than full-rostered team.

And Cabrini splits with G-MC, and in the very close win, Haven Wroten, a top player was gone.

Listen, I'm not saying that Cabrini didn't win those games, I just think that Cabrini might not be looking too hot without a lot of luck.  Does Cabrini beat those teams at full strength?  Doubt it.  Is Cabrini at full strength?  Seems so.  How does Cabrini do once playoff time comes?  Probably the same as they did earlier this year.

I guess we will see what happens come Monday.  Where were all the Cabrini posters earlier this year?

The same place the Immac posters are right now.

Chiz, that was only a sarcastic remark meant for Pat Coleman because of his affiliation with Catholic. 

These are always wasted on me. I couldn't care less. I have 400 teams to follow, not one.

Point taken, no hard feelings.   Seriously, I was at tournaments and regionals at Catholic, and a Sweet 16, & Elite 8 and the campus was well organized and professional when conducting all events.  The shopping was nice as well down there.   Following 400 teams is a real job.

We're all getting a little testy now, arent we?  Let's see what happens this week.  We all want our teams to win.  (Obviously, that's an understatement).  The Cavs are coming off their 2 worst seasons in school history, as Cavs fans we are optimistic about the present(8-6 in the PAC with a chance for the playoffs) and the future.  Though who knows what's going to happen with the name change and 3 possible (decided this week) playoff teams leaving.  Tonight and Saturday will start to clarify the whole mess a little bit for this year.  As for next year, the crystal is still fuzzy.  Good luck to all tonight!!! (A little less for some)

Looks like the Vern pulled through tonight with Shawell and T. Bradley in the clutch.    This means the Vern will earn #1 seed and a first round bye.

Jon, if the Vern beats EU next and the Cavs win against Miseri and EU or just EU do we have a chance to play at Vern?

[MR. PAC]

The vern with a big win over the Mighty Macs.Vern clinches homecourt just about.Also,I think cabrini if they played well could beat Catholic.Seen them play the vern in a scrimmage,they were not that good.Cabrini could beat them.

[chairman]

Another night passes with Marywood and Centenary failing to even threaten to make any kind of noise as spoilers. To score 43 points in a home game is really brutal. Not expecting either one of them to win, but one would think that at least at least a spirited effort.

Congrats to Alvernia on a big win tonight. It would probably be best to rest their players for Saturday. Seriously though. Neumann catches a big break with that win, and the potential value of the second leg and the final Conference Regular Season installation of the Battle of Eagle road goes up even more.

Saturday's games will be big. The Vern would have to drop two straight to Eastern and Marywood at the PEC to not take the number one seed. The Eagles can play them tough, but to even consider the potential of a Marywood win there is outside the realm of possibility.

I posted when Immac had seven to play and said that they would do well to win 4 of those games. I got yelled at a bit by a couple Immac posters, but only a 25 point comeback at Gwynedd keeps them from four straight losses. Gwynedd is quietly moving right back into the thick of things. (both of these are partially functions of schedule.)

Looking forward to seeing the matrix tonight.

Peace

Wait no more my good friend.

I will post first, comment later.

I would say Centenary's effort tonight qualified as "spirited."

They went down 19 on the first bucket of the second half and cut it to six within six minutes.

Misericordia went back up by 16 and Centenary made another charge to get to within seven with six to play.

Misericordia pulled away from there.

[Jon]

What happens when a potential 1-2 tie-breaker is dependent on a 6-7 tie-breaker which is dependent on a 1-2 tie-breaker...

[lefty2]

coin flip?

[chairman]

It is conceivable that all four teams playing on the final Thursday could be 10-5. Not that it means anything, but that would be quite the event for all the involved athletic administrations trying to figure out who is hosting games 36 hours later.

[chairman]

At the top or the bottom?

Glad to hear Centenary is putting up a fight.
