St. Marys Gaels
II.1

Hardwood College Basketball
We have reached the midpoint of the season.

CS Fullerton had a dream run to start conference play, but have lost their last 2 against the other teams in the top 3 to show signs of mortality.

Saint Mary’s had an early loss when missing 2 starters and were tripped up by Tennessee Martin in an OT game. They also sit at 13-2, 12 GD behind CSF.

The hottest team in the conference right now is Mount St. Joseph who are riding a 7 game win streak. They round out the top 3 with their 11-4 record, 2 games clear of a pack of promotion hopefuls.

CSLA, VMI, FRNKL & NAU all carry 9-6 records into the second half. CSLA has a much better GD than the others (even markedly better than MTSTJ) but all 4 are still in the running.

RHIT (8-7) and MSU (7-8) look to be somewhat comfortable in regards to staying up, but are probably looking over their shoulders than aspiring for a top 3 finish.

Tennessee Martin had a bit of a disappointing first half for mine and GD alone sees them in 10th. They are joined by Weber State and Cal Poly with 6-9 records. Should be a dog fight to avoid relegation to division 2.

UCSB(5-10) and CONN(4-11) will still hold some hopes of staying up. Those hopes will be fading if not already gone for WI-W(3-12) and ILL(2-13) in the bottom 2 spots.


UCSB’s C, Webb leads all scorers with 23.3ppg, but I think it’s CSLA’s C McGhee (20.5p 13.3r 1.7b) who is probably the POTY front runner. Don’t discount guys like MTSTJ’s PG Greco (17.5p 7.2a), UTM SG Arnold (20.5p 3.5a 1.9s) or CSF’s PG Jordan (18.2p 6.9a 1.9s) though. That trophy is far from won.

Good luck to the active managers in the 2nd half.

* CSLA @ NAU - who want to stay in touch with MTSTJ and contend for promotion? Big game for 2 promotion contenders.

* RHIT @ UCSB - RHIT find themselves just above the demotion line with UCSB being one of 3 teams just 1 win behind. UTM and WSU both have tough games, can RHIT get some separation, or will UCSB drag them back to the pack?

As we head towards the end of conference play. CSF and SMC need just 1 more win or 1 more CSLA loss to clinch promotion. Still even on wins for the title, but CSF seem to be consistently better at winning big.

CSLA and MTSTJ are just 1 win apart, but CSLA has a hefty +181 GD.

At the other end its WSU and CPLY duking it out do avoid relegation, with RHIT just 1 win above them.

Here's a look at some of the best attributed players in the conference.

Looks like it has been a few months since anyone posted here. I jumped up to this conference, but with only using Phone, I won’t be posting much until I get a new graphics card for my computer.
