Happy New Year! Let's hope the start of the 2019 second semester is kinder to the Cavs than last semester.

GO CAVS!!!

You know it's a rough season for Cabrini when Mailsy goes five weeks without checking in. Don't tell me Eastern is taking over on Eagle Road!

My mom always used to say if you have nothing nice to say. Don't say anything at all. Well I've decided to heed that advice this year.

Your silence is deafening.

Mom was right!! Let's hope that this year for Eastern is just a one off on Eagle Road!

Here are the first rankings for the men this season: https://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2019/02/men-regional-rankings-first

I have something nice to say today. Cavs played better today. Last 10 minutes of the game against Immaculata they seemed to get every rebound and won 95-78. Still too many turnovers(27 in all). Moved up to 5th in the conference. Will get in to the AEC tourney.

This was the middle game of the day for me today. Watched the Lady Cavs take care of the Lady Mighty Macs. On my way home I stopped at Cairn and took in a CSAC game. I saw the 2nd half of the #1 Highlanders take on Rosemont. Cairn loses their first today in conference.

Thankfully and mercifully the season is over for Cabrini.

Never seen anything like it in all my years supporting Cavalier basketball.
Ugh!

Here's to next year!

Hopefully the AEC can get a team in the Tourney. Odds are Gwynedd.

The remaining CSAC is tough to watch, when Cairn goes through the slate with one loss. I hope that they have success in bulking up the conference with a few teams with better programs. I'm wondering what the Atlantic East has in store (CAC, MAC maybe) to fill out it's number of teams over the next couple of years?

Congrats to Gwynedd Mercy winning the 1st men's AEC title.

I had the opportunity to be at Gwynedd today. It was fun not having a rooting interest in either team.  It was my first game of the day......

The MAC won't have any teams departing after Manhattanville. In fact you'll see them adding teams in the near future, aside from Stevens Tech. York's the most obvious and aligns best with the MAC not the AEAST- Geographically adding York and the placing Widener or Arcadia in the Freedom makes best sense. York is a short drive to Hood/Stevenson, Messiah, LVC, ALbright and Alvernia- LYCO a little further.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Any move York was thought to be making has been put on hold from everything I've been told. There are several (not sure the number exactly) in the MAC who do not want York in the conference based on egos and their interpretation of what York is ... but I digress.

[jmcozenlaw]

I've heard from two people that the NJAC is "all over" Stevenson. Does anybody think that this is even a remote possibility?
