CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College men's basketball team opens
the 2005-06 season at Disney's Division II Tip-Off Classic Nov. 10-14 at
Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla., providing Cougar
fans an opportunity to follow their favorite team while enjoying the
Walt Disney World Resort.
Official fan packages are available through Anthony Travel that include
admission to the Walt Disney World theme parks, accommodations for three
or four nights at Disney's All-Star Sports resort and more. For more

This is the ninth year of Disney's Division II Tip-Off Classic, which
has featured some of the top Division II teams in the country. This
year's tournament is no different, as five of the eight teams
participating in Orlando won at least 20 games last season and three
teams qualified for the 2005 NCAA Division II tournament.
The Cougars went 17-15 last season and advanced to the finals of the
Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament. Forward Manny
Perez (Egg Harbor, NJ/Egg Harbor) returns for his sophomore season
after leading the team in scoring and rebounding en route to receiving
CACC Newcomer of the Year honors.
With each team guaranteed three games at Disney's Division II Tip-Off
Classic, there is a chance Cougar fans who join the team in Orlando will
see head coach Mark Corino earn his 300th victory at Caldwell
College. Corino, who has a record of 297-200 in 17 years as the Cougars'
coach, also needs just eight wins to reach 400 for his career.
The Cougars open the 2005-06 season against Southern Indiana (27-5) on
Nov. 11 at 6:00 p.m. Nebraska-Omaha (23-6) and Presbyterian (18-11) are
the other teams in the Cougars' half of the bracket. Philadelphia
University (21-9), which joins the CACC this season, Columbus State
(23-9), Bridgeport (21-9) and Alaska-Anchorage (11-16) are the other
teams participating in the tournament.
It's not too early to make your plans to follow the Cougars to Disney's
Division II Tip-Off Classic. Put a little magic in your basketball
season and contact Anthony Travel to reserve your official fan package.
And be sure to tell them that you're a Caldwell College Cougar fan!
