MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

I dont know how they put marywood fifth either, but just be on the look-out for CENTENARY, they were new to the conference last year and played alot of csac teams tough, they were very young at times starting 5 freshman.  with stronger teams leaving and them being more experienced and a new coach who is familiar dont be surprised to see them in the top four of the conference.

zonecantstopme,

I appreciate your enthusiasm.  If you were to say they'd make the playoffs, I wouldn't be surprised.  They probably can... but in the top four?   

If you know Centenary, as you say "be on the look out for" you probably are aware of their past years records...
2008 4-20 (2-14)
2007 3-21 (1-15)
2006 2-22 (0-15)
2005 0-25 (0-15)
2004 3-22 (2-13)
2003 9-15 (0-0).

Yes, it is a weaker conference this year and granted new teams(weaker than..) and a new coach(from a good program) can get you more wins,  I don't see it as a top 4 team in the conference.  But that's why they play the games.  So we'll see where everybody is in February, hopefully you're right. 

But to make the playoffs would probably be the one thing they could do and that would be huge lift for the program.

Your right going off of those numbers it would look like they didnt have a chance. but i consider myself pretty close to the program. they have a solid 8 and baker is much improved the new coach IS GREAT, remember they had 4 fr. that played big minutes i only see good things ahead while i ll will totally back my pick for them being in the top four i will fully take all of the criticism for the pick until the end of the year.    GO CYCLONES!!

Well let's see.  Their first test will be against Wheaton which had a winning record last year and they'll play either Plymouth State or Bard.  Each only had 8 wins last year.  They could win this tournament. That would be a nice start for the year. 

Ultimately, however, it will all come down to conference play!

The Marcus Kahn era has begun at Cabrini with a win.  Congrats Cavs!  A nice win over the preseason #2 of the Landmark Conference.  Another game vs a Landmark team (Scranton) at home on Wed. the 19th.  Could it be a 2 for 2? Let's hope so.  That would be a great way to start the new year!!

so has the enrico mastrioanni era at centenary big win over bard to get the ball rolling

Neumann went 1 and 1 this weekend with a win over york who is said to be in a rebuliding year and a lost to susquehanna in the championship game by 2 points. Neumann was winning the whole game until the very end. Neumann looked well but needs to get better play from the point guard and better inside play from the post players.

Solid win for a short-handed IU last night.  Does anyone have details on the Nuemann Widner game?

[mailsy]

Wow!  Cabrini 2-0.    As fans we haven't seen that in a while, have we?  Is this the Cavaliers of the years ago or are we just getting set up for a fall.  I hope it's the former.  Looking forward to Saturday!!  Great job Cabrini!!

Hi everyone-I am new to the board, but hopefully I can be a semi-frequent contributor to your good times during the season. I spent the last four years working with the men's basketball program at Wilkes while I was an undergrad there, and I now attend grad school at Marywood. I hope to see a number of Pacers games during the season, so I will contribute what I can on here in terms of both Marywood and whatever conference opponent they are matched up with when I am in the house. 

I did see conference newcomer Baptist Bible play in the seaosn-opener at Wilkes on Monday night. BBC dose not have some of the quality size from previous seasons and as a result is a scrappy bunch, but they play with intensity (as has always been their trademark) and put up a good amount of points in a good effort Monday.

Best wishes to all of you and your teams on the start of the season

[zonescantstopme]

centenary is 3-1!!!!

[zonescantstopme]

Centenary Moves to 4-1 with a win over PSU-Harrisburg the preseason pick in the NEAC.

Rico is a lock for CSAC Coach of the Year.

Heck, he might be able to run for Mayor of Hackettstown!

[zonescantstopme]

He's got My vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  the guys looked good last night shot 56% from the field

[CoachM33]

I think the Enrico has done a wonderful job at Centenary so far.  He looks to have the kids disciplined, motivated, and working hard.  However, Lets not get too excited yet.  Centenary is 4-1 with 4 wins coming to below 500 teams.  Berkeley was 0-5, Polytech-04, Bard 0-4, Penn St. 2-3.  So as well as I feel the cyclones are doing, I wouldn't put them on anyone's radar yet. 

Go Cyclones!!!
