Not a major point of contention but being a stickler for the facts I have to mention...it is VWC not VWU.

Even more of a reason to believe that the polls don't mean much until after the New Year. Don't sleep on York this year...they are always a tough out and the guys will be motivated to have Coach Gamber go out on a high note. Conference championship and NCAA tournament appearance are very realistic for them this year...but again, very early still and lots of games yet to play.

Well...maybe I should just make my way down to the local gas station and play some lottery numbers. Crazy...

St. Mary's (Md.) is not a member of the ECAC...it is NCAA or bust at this point.

Pretty much...

CAC Tournament Semifinals

#1 St. Mary's (Md.)     79
#4 Mary Washington  57

#2 Wesley              75
#6 Salisbury           74


#2 Wesley at #1 St. Mary's (Md.) on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

I know it is a little ways off still, but the Wesley-St. Mary's contest is setting up to be for the top spot in the region, assuming La Roche fails to win out.

Elizabethtown falls to Messiah tonight, 66-62. Guess the regional rankings will get a shake up next week already.

Reserved Seat:

Host institutions get half of the seating in the arena. The other half is split equally by the three traveling teams. With an arena of 1,200 like at SMCM - SMCM gets 600 tickets while the other three teams split the other 600 (600/3 = 200 each). Winners on Friday will get 600 each for Saturday, unless SMCM advances. If that happens, SMCM gets 2/3 (800) as the host, while the other team would get 1/3 (400). All of this is outlined in the championship manual.

Just spoke with someone "in the know" at SMCM...they sold out of their allotment of 600 tickets in less than five hours today. Should be interesting down there on Friday evening.

SMCM should fire their clock operator then...he obviously doesn't know what he is doing!

Tell that to the officiating crews....

Tickets could be availible at the door, but if Seahawk Nation comes out in full force again who nows what can happen, it might be hard to find seating or get in the gym. It was hard to hear anything the final few minutes...an elderly man had an eardrum burst late in the second half of Saturdays game causing a slight delay.

Hail the Hawks.

First of all...neither night was a packed house. Seating capacity is 1,200 and the first night drew 1,053 fans and the second night drew 871. With that said, I would expect this grouping of teams (and fan bases) to get to capacity this weekend. Each team will have their pre-determined allotment of tickets by tomorrow to sell in advance - so I would recommend those interested in attending to buy them from the school that they support rather than wait for general sales. It may not get to general sales this weekend if the crowds are going to be there as expected.
Secondly, as someone who was at St. Mary's for the entire weekend, at no point did anyone alert someone on staff of a medical situation in which someone's eardrum burst - and there was no delay in the game caused by such an event. The media timeouts on the other hand are an entirely different story!
