I had to look at the box score from tonight's York win over Wesley three times to see if I was reading it right. The Spartans shot 67.9% from the floor, 85.7% from the line and 58.3% from three. Way to shoot it Spartans!

It's nice to see Nick Brady and the Spartans on the front page of D3hoops.com again!

I really didn't know what to expect from the Spartans this year, especially when I heard that Julian Watson wasn't back on the squad. But so far I've been real impressed with how this young team has played. With 8 freshman as well as two upperclassmen new to the team no one would have been surprised to see them struggle out of the gate while they got used to playing together, but that hasn't been the case.

With tonight's win in the closing seconds of a game that they trailed nearly the whole way YCP has improved to 5-0 More importantly they seem to be coming together incredibly fast which is a testament to the coaches and the senior leadership of Nick Brady and Jeremy Keefer.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the teem is playing going into CAC play, but am very optimistic about the 09-10 team being formidable in conference.

Dan,

I do need a hoby. That's for sure. I root for UMD in DI so that year and the title year the next season always stick out in my head. I wasn't thinking of it as a prediction so much as a simalar run.

I was just taking a look at the season recap for Millsaps to see what St. Mary's has in store for them and I noticed something that reminded me of the Terps run to the final 4 the year before they won the title. In that year they played George Mason, Georgia State and Georgetown in a row, Millsaps first three games are Maryville, Mary Hardin-Baylor and St. Mary's.

I know I'm a huge dork for realizing this, but I need to vent my dorky thoughts and what better place than an internet posting board.

Wow! Another great game out of St. Mary's. Talk about some hot hands, they just don't miss anymore.
#7
I hope St. Mary's takes it to Widener!

Wow, York by 15? I'm as big a Spartan fan as they come, but this is still the Tourny, and Salisbury has been a thorn in our side before. I think it'll be closer than that.

Even though he is still 60 some points behind Andy, I think it is easy to say that Chad is already the best player all time at York. When you factor in the impact he had as a young player on a team that was laden with great talent, and then consider the way he has played in the two years that he has been The Man on the team, it's easy to put him at number 1.

I have only been around the program since '94, but my top five (based on what I've seen my self and heard about from the older guys) would be something like:

1) McGowan '08
2) Andy O'Brien '01
3) Dan Johnson '95
4) Jeff Mann '93
5) Brandon Bushey '06

I know we could never get Coach to pick and choose, but he's the only one who's seen them all.

Great to see Winters (27 and 7) and Keefer (20 and 13) step it up with Chad not feeling 100%. This is obviously a big win for York, and with 5 games left till the tournament they have a chance to put a bit more space between them and the pack.

I love the way Jeremy has matured into a real important cog in the Spartans machine, and I he continues to develop that could create a ton of problems for opponents in the coming weeks.

It's good to see the CAC put this together. I remember posting on this board almost a year ago wondering who held all the CAC records and no one really knew. I guess good things come to those who wait a year.

Big game at the Nouveau Kitchen! Go York

That's great news all around. It'll be great to get the season started sooner, and even better to kick it off at the Grumbacher.

It looks like the nucleus of York's roster is really starting to gel. When they played Hood here in York it was just the second game that McGowan and Winters played together, and Pat Kelly was only able to play a very limited role. As the Spartans get to full strength (assuming Kelly is able to get back on the court) I think they will be more than a handful for any team they face.

As for who are the favorites, I'd say Hood until they are beaten consistently by Mary Wash or York. But the regular season isn't the concern, that CAC tourney is!

Opening day, season two in the Grumbacher Center tonight. It seems like the off season flew by this year, and I'm ready for more York College Basketball. The boys had a rough start to the season down in Virginia but rebounded nicely and they should be even better now.

I look forward to watching all the boys tonight and seeing for myself how they fit together on the floor. I've seen a few practices from on high, but there's nothing like this time, a few games into the season, to see where we may go. Go Spartans!

I hope to make it out to the York v Mansfield game tonight to see how the new guys fit into the system. I know very little about Mansfield so I wouldn't venture a guess, but it will be nice to see how they play against D-II tallent.
