dont forget about Lepone. Second half was big. He seems like he is the glue for the MACS. He goes on his own 5-9 point runs by himself. The players now when hes Hot to get him the ball and he will get it done. Awesome performance by ALL the Macs last night.

Do PAC teams get the lowest seed in the dance?? and where are the games played?

[chizwiz]

HideUmm, PAC teams don't necessarily get bad or good seeds.  It all depends on record, strength of schedule, etc.  Even d3hoops staff admits to being flummoxed sometimes by the selection committees choices.  I don't think Immaculata is going to get a "good" spot this year.

That being said, I don't think Immaculata needs such a spot.  Good luck to the Macs.  Great job Coach Chadwin this year.

Congrats to all the players named to All-PAC teams. Who votes on the Sportsmanship individual award?

[mailsy]

Congrats to all those players who won All PAC awards.

Good Job Randy, Glenn and Charlie, you made Cabrini proud!!

[chairman]

sportsmanship award is a team award given by the conference. Every team gets exactly one rep on the team whether they deserve five or zero reps. It is also interesting that the PAC teams equated rolling over with good sportsmanship for the team. I'm not saying that Marywood weren't good sports, but IMO there were other teams that demonstrated a higher quality of sportsmanship in close games (where that is a challenge) than what I saw from Marywood in the two games I saw. I love the idea of the award, and I love that the student-athletes choose it, but I would love to see it be less of a bone tossed to the bottom team on the league. Off my soap box now.

Don't know too much about Stockton, but looking at their season, it looks as though the Mighty Macs didn't take a terrible draw in the field.
Congrats to all those recognized and good luck Immac.

Chair,

Looks like we did pretty well in our prognostication.  Coaches liked a contender (Hyman) more than our vote for a player from a non-contender (Baker) and you can't argue with them especially considering Hyman's MVP effort in the PAC Final.

Hopefully you will all catch GMC-Alvernia IV this Wednesday in the ECAC Quarterfinals as a warmup to IU's NCAA opener.  I'm considering a short survey to come up with a catchy name for this year's series.  Complex Combat IV or PAC Clash IV, etc., etc.

On a side note I'd like to have a work study kid around this week to research how many times we (or any other PAC school) has faced an opponent four times in a season.

[chairman]

I would have to agree with the choice of Hyman (who it turns out is a senior-- who knew?) Seriously though-- They did senior day stuff for him with the whole family and picture thing, and every post out of their website has him listed as a sophomore. It seems kind of odd that there is a two year differential and that this disconnect is within the department. If an external source is off, then that is perfectly understandable. Anyone know what the real story is?

Can't be too many times in for that. The best possible contenders for that would be Marywood/Misericordia who used to both play in the Laurel Line Classic to start the year. I'm not sure that the two schools have ever met in that pre-season tilt and the Playoffs as well. Simplest way to check on that would be to look at the year(s?) Marywood made the playoffs and look to see if they faced Misericordia in both events. I'm guessing it didn't happen.

That's go to be it. PAC Golf Poll came out today. ESPN didn't pick up on the story, but I saw Alvernia is picked second.

Is the PAC going to be bound by the results of their survey project, or are they merely getting input?

Maybe the Marywood SID can get on that...  he's not doing anything these days.

[hIdeUmm]

Congrats to GMC on moving on to play Albright on saturday and Miseri moving on.  And a great season to Alvernia as well.

Now Ralph you wouldn't be insulting us, now would you?  That's not polite to the rest of the members of the PAC  or whatever it's going to be called

Nahhh, the names that you have selected are just so...

Do you really gain something by throwing away 15 years of name recognition?  (I don't know)

And think about the abbreviations...
