Yes, nice win for CNU!  UMW has really started to play well, got another good road win yesterday against Va Wesleyan.

Glad to have basketball back!  Tough to see Barber transfer to CNU, he's already off to a great start.   I really thought MW could turn the corner this year with Barber and Greg Rowson (among a bunch of seniors) but don't see Rowson on the roster anymore.  Not sure what's going on there.  CNU looks stacked and strong.  This odd  conference alignment  makes the schedule a little weird.  Regardless, happy to see games again!

In a recent article in the Fredericksburg paper, the CAC commissioner mentioned that there should be conference news by the end of February.   That has come and gone.   Anybody hear anything?

Definitely a disappointing year for UMW.   Very young team, so hoping they learned a lot.   Lost quite a few 2nd half, double digit leads (twice against York) and some other puzzling losses.    No seniors on the roster, so hoping for better next year.    With that said, the CAC final should be great. 

Now, what will this conference look like in a year...if it exists???

Huge win for Mary Washington tonight.   They've been up an down in the non-conference schedule, but hopefully this is a nice boost with conference play starting Saturday.    Go Eagles!
#6
Agree.  Been very quiet so far.   Nice win by MW tonight and a bounce back from a bad Bridgewater loss. 
#7
Good start for UMW, but where was Rowson?

It's going to be interesting to see the remaining CAC teams fill a schedule with only 10 conference games.   UMW is taking a trip to the west coast for 3 games.

I'm trying to wrap my head around scheduling with a 5 team league.   I'd imagine you'd have to play every team more than twice as out of conference games would be hard to schedule once the regular sized conferences get into their conference schedules.   Do you play each team 3 or 4 times per season?  Looking across VA and MD, I don't see a lot of teams as possibilities.  Should be interesting to watch.

Congrats to CNU!  Williams is always a tough out.

If Virginia Wesleyan was indeed the higher seed, it must have boiled down to the good old 500 mile rule...another example of geography/budget trumping what's fair.

Yep....MW is within 500 of Williams.  Wesleyan was not.  Fun for us though  ;D

I don't know how Dave finds the time!  I read his posts on many different boards.   

Geography is always tricky.  If I remember correctly, Mary Washington hosted a 2nd weekend set because it put them closer to Williams even though Va Wesleyan was the higher seed.   It's cool to have potentially 2 sites in Virginia to choose from though if it comes to that with CNU and RMC. 

Two great games tonight, go Eagles!!!

Looks like MW should be firmly in 3rd now.   York losing both games is unlikely.  Frostburg has a tough ending with York and Salisbury, although both at home.   Frostburg's finish will dictate who Mary Washington plays in the first round.  Although if Frostburg wins out, they would sneak into 4th and push Salisbury into a 1st round road game.

A strange game. CNU wins against the most athletic team I've seen this year. How in the world is FSU 10-13?  And I question the heights listed for FSU. If #50 is 6'11" then our #31 is 6'10", which he's not. I give #50 6'8.5" at the most.

And speaking of 6'11", our 5'10" guy outrebounded him.

Frostburg is a tough one to figure out.   They have Mary Washington's number this year for sure, but have some puzzling games with 2 losses to St. Mary's and a 19 point loss to Harrisburg.   Yet they took Longwood (granted not a powerhouse, but still D1) to OT on the road.   

I'm hoping UMW can lock up a top 4 seed (top 2 is out of the question IMO) and a home game with a win on Wednesday, but Southern Virginia is a bit of a worry, especially on the road.   I know they're 0-12 but UMW came back and barely beat them on a last second layup at home.  They also have some tight results against good teams (Salisbury, CNU, Roanoke).    Should be a fun tournament this year.   While seeding isn't final, the top 6 are in place.

Ugly game for UMW yesterday.   Hats off to Frostburg for shooting lights out.  Logjam at the top now.  UMW with a really tough week ahead with Salisbury and CNU on the road.
