MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[CNU85]

I either read the schedule incorrectly or it has changed. UMW now plays SVU after the CNU/RMC/CNU gauntlet.

Try Point beer. Stevens Point brewery.

Try Point beer. Stevens Point brewery.

As far as I can tell, that beer is not named after the Pointers or UW-Stevens Point.

Titan Gold, by Fox River Brewing, is named for the UW-Oshkosh Titans.

Pat, That's true. But probably still worth a try. LOL.

[CNU85]

What a game! CNU comes out on top!

UMW's Robinson got into early foul trouble and still dropped in 25 in 26 minutes. Young also popped for 26.

But the star by far...TOA!

His stat line coming off the bench:
37 minutes

12-22 from the field
6-9 from 3
13-13 at the line
8 rebounds
3 assists
Only 1 turnover
1 blocked shot

43 points!

Physical game! Well played by both teams. If Robinson doesn't get into foul trouble this is a different game.

And the best part. Looking at both rosters...  Hines of CNU is the only senior on either roster

I agree it was a great game. Having Kye get early fouls didn't seem to hurt at first (when he went out UMW was down by 4 and they then went up by about 8 at one point and ultimately tied at half when he sat last 9 minutes of 1st half) but by second half he couldn't play defense and every CNU player just drove right at him every time. Toa had amazing game and carried the team. Still a good effort by both teams, albeit a bit sloppy at times with a lot of turnovers and ball drops. UMW has Macon next and then CNU at their house next. Good practice for tournament time.

Completely different CNU/UMW game last night: Robinson scored 25 points with strong support from Randall (21) and Bates (18) plus freshman Preston White (10 pts. 5 boards). Toa did not have 43 points this outing, he had 12. UMW was up by 13 at the half and never seriously challenged the rest of the way. I suspect these teams will play each other at least one more time in the C2C playoffs in Santa Cruz. Great atmosphere at Rosner Arena with over 1800 fans.

Just a heads up for any fans headed to Santa Cruz next week.  I was there on vacation in April and asked the guy at the hotel front desk where the best fish tacos could be found.  He told me it was the place at the very end of the pier.  They were not terrible, but certainly nothing special and it was a VERY long walk to get down there.  Would not recommend (unless you need some exercise).
