I'm not a Scranton homer but it seems ridiculous that they aren't at home.  At first glance the entire Middle Atlantic got very little respect with only one team hosting, Dickinson going to Ohio and Alvernia/Wesley playing each other.  Freedom winner(Desales) getting sent south has become a norm with Del Val being sent twice in recent years.

Are Scranton's women a potential host team?  If so, maybe that displaced the men.  Not sure which team gets preference this year in the rotation.

Thanks Pat.  Wasn't questioning you guys.  Thought perhaps the board was so silent that you decided it was a waste of time.
Keep up the quality work.

Where is everyone on this board?  Dave McHugh doesn't even advertise Hoopsville on here.

Should be lots to talk about with all the possible scenarios left to play out.

Looks like DeSales by a nose for the #1 seed.  What is up with Del Val?  Can Kings make it all the way back into a playoff spot?  Let's get this page moving.

So, yup, time to make another 2 hour pilgrimage up I-81 North, and go see Misericordia's home court for the first time since... well, ever.  Saturday, 4 PM.  Top 2 teams in the Freedom League (who split the season series) playing for a title.

How was your visit to Misericordia?  Obviously not the outcome you had hoped but what did you think of the place?
Any thoughts on the game?

And the league season begins tonight!

King's   @   Eastern       
FDU-Florham  @   Delaware Valley     
DeSales   @   Manhattanville     
Wilkes    @   Misericordia     

Who ya got?

It's obviously early and the opponent wasn't strong but Wilkes looked good on Monday night at PSU-Hazleton.  If they are next to last in the Freedom then the Freedom is a strong conference.

Let's get this board going a little bit.

Congratulations to all those selected and thanks for an exciting season. ....hard to argue POY, ROY or COY. Goods luck to DeSales.

Random thoughts...
Im on record picking home teams but I will take Misericordia to cover the 16.

I agree that kings has a shot.....not sure what the coach can do that he hasn't already. Can't change your players.

Soaries & Del Prete are definately first team.

Saw Misericordia 2 times this year, them winning wouldn't shock me.

Anyone picking a road team?

Uncle Sam, thats good stuff

Should the league be more worried about the summer time recruiting for Del Val or the Christmas time recruiting next December?

Here's my take....
First team- Braswell(poy), Soaries, Conroy, Delprete, Kresge.

Second team- Hunter, Wagner,White,Fetzke, Jones

Honorable Mention - Pointer,Gabriel,Nelson,Slanovec,Laroche

COY-put Coval, Woodruff, Nadelhoffer in a hat. Desales took everyone's best shot and won anyway.
Nobody thought much of miseri's talent at the start..thus picking them next to last but finishing tied for second.
Eastern expected to challenge for playoffs but suffers some key personnel losses and still getting a home playoff game.

As a side note, I like the home teams Wednesday.

So if I'm not mistaken, the four teams are set but seeding is still a grey area...interesting that 3 of the
teams(desales, eastern, miseri) are all former PAC/CSAC members.
Anyone see Tuesday's games?

Cant help with the events in Madison.
Good point about swapping players.

Is it reasonable to think that if Darnell Braswell played for any other team in the league, they'd probably win the title? Definately true with the top 4 or 5 teams. He's the difference.

any thoughts on the game, sounds like it was a good one down there?

Is Eastern's record incorrect on this website?
It says 7-5 but they're website has them 6-3 in conference
Play.
