it looks like kings is finally hitting it's stride!!!  they are really starting to shoot the ball well.  the seniors may have finally decided it is time to play for real. however, in the playoffs defense usually wins.  does kings play good enough defense to win the conference tournament??  you guys have watched them for years.  what do you think??

i told everyone earlier in the season that kings didn't look like they were playing hard.  i was assured they would turn it on when conference play started.  i said at the time i didn't think you can "turn it on and turn it off"  whenever you want.  you must build good habits throughout the year.  i think that kings has talent but not the heart and desire of a champion.  we will see.

is kings in trouble yet???  losing to baptist bible!!!!  is this truley the way it is every year??  i know i am knew to following kings but come on.  when do they start to turn it on??  do i have to wait until after x-mas?  i'm not so sure they have another gear this year.  what do you think leo the lion??

 i saw lycoming in their tip off tounament against penn st. altoona and college of new jersey.  it looks like they have some talent.  they blew a 14 pt. second half lead vs. penn st. altoona and handled college of new jersey pretty easily.  they have some quickness at the guard position and 2 forwards who are big and strong inside.  they also have a 6'4" senior shooter. i think they could be pretty good this year.

naismith,
i am knew to following kings this year.  i come from a background of building good habits through out the year and defense winning championships.  i am not used to the theroy of turning it on during confrence games.  is this a college thing or just a kings thing. 

i keep reading that kings and desales are the top two teams.  kings better wake up.  their seniors seem to have senioritis.  they are just coasting already.  they played absolutley horrible defense vs. albright last week. same vs. penn state altoona in the lycoming championship game.   there seems to be no spark and no intensity.  they may have talent but without heart and desire they will go nowhere fast.  they need senior leadership fast!!!  does jp believe that defense wins championships??

kings win lycoming tourney.  looked very average in finals vs. penn state altoona.  they seem to play very average defense and they don't seem to be in very good condition.  penn state altoona was much smaller but very scrappy. kings will need to play much better in the conference if they plan on repeating.

thanks to leo the lion and naismith for the heads up about cold case.  in response to both their posts.  i think jp can go 8 deep.  the 6'5" freshmen conroy will be the first forward off the bench. freshmen brasky can give solid minutes at the point, although i don't believe cousart will come out very much.  maybe jp will slide cousart to the wing occasionally.  they will stuggle inside if their big boy gets in foul trouble.  they have a senior wing, i forget his name, who will be the 6th man.  their top 6 looks very good with brasky and conroy as 7 and 8.  jp has 4 freshmen who look like they could develop into a good group over 4 years, brasky, conroy, hacker and schlichter

what's up with that response??  i was just trying to provide info and get a discussion going.  has anyone seen anyone else in the freedom conference?  who looks good?  my only point was that kings, at this point, looks good.  i think they can contend for the conference title. agree or disagree? 

i saw kings scrimmage division 2 bloomsburg on sat.  kings looked good. they won the scrimmage by 14.  who else in the conference looks good?? kings top 6-7 players look real solid.  they are a little thin at forward off the bench. 

kings and scranton played 3 halves. the first 2 halves were first groups vs. first groups.  scranton won the first half by about 6-7 pts, kings won the second half by 12-13 pts.  the subs played the last half and kings won by double digits.  3 freshmen looked good for kings.  brasky, a 6'2" point guard, hacker, a 6"3" wing and conroy, a 6'5" forward.  both teams looked pretty good in the scrimmage.
