Congratulations to all the award winners for the Liberty League! Does anyone know how the awards are determined? Reason I ask is because I thought the Ithaca Coaching staff (Farid) would be Coaching Staff of the year with their LL Championship winning on the road versus the Top Seed and Logan Wendell for Player of the Year. Just curious and congrats again to all!

to STLAWUS - My condolences on your loss! Really helps keep winning and losing in perspective and realizing what is most important to all of us.

Good to be back and appreciate the welcome! Looking forward to a better year for the Dutchmen and wish the Saints good luck in the playoffs!

Not that the outcome matters regarding an off year for Union, but how does the Home Team have 0-0 free throws versus St. Lawrence 18-25

Concannon out with what I believe is a high ankle sprain. Union does look pretty deep this year with a young roster.

Wish you the best Magicman! You are a valuable resource and contributor to this board!

Head Coach position for school was just reposted yesterday on HigherEd jobs.

Looks like Coach Pat Scanlon has left Manhattanville as team is preparing return to Skyline Conference. Doubt that conference change had anything to do with his decision. Wishing him the best wherever he heads next.

Ithaca should also be strong in the Liberty League next season.

TROY, N.Y. – After earning All-Tournament Team honors at the Sig Makofski Invitational over the weekend, freshman Mike Concannon of the Union College men's basketball team picked up his second straight Liberty League Rookie of the Week award on Monday afternoon.

Concannon had another good weekend to start his collegiate career, averaging 12.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in helping Union to its first Sig Makofski title since 2012. The freshman hit 7-of-11 shots for 16 points to go with seven rebounds and five assists in a win over Northern Vermont University-Lyndon on Saturday, then added eight points, six rebounds and five assists on Sunday in the title-game win over Westfield State University.

Through three games, the freshman ranks second on the team by averaging 13.7 points per game, while also leading the team with 16 assists and 23 rebounds in a team-high 33.3 minutes per contest.

Concannon and the Dutchmen will look to keep their undefeated record intact this weekend, when Union kicks off Liberty League play on Friday at 7 p.m. against preseason favorite Hobart College in Geneva.

Skidmore is very sound. All American candidate in Rupkus, soph Meren scored 39 in last game, excellent coach in Burke. Voted to finish second in LibertyLeague poll.

TROY, N.Y. – Freshman Mike Concannon of the Union College men's basketball team got his collegiate career off to a good start this week, earning Liberty League Rookie of the Week honors, the conference office announced on Monday.

The freshman guard had a double-double in his collegiate debut, going for 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists to lead Union to a 67-64 win over Hartwick on Friday night. The freshman had eight points, five rebounds and five assists just in the second half of the win, including a key rebound and two subsequent free throws with 13 seconds remaining to secure the three-point victory.

Union has a couple of impressive first and second year players to complement seniors McNoble and Laing.

Congratulations to Union on winning back to back Liberty League Championships with their double digit win over Skidmore today. Reached the finals with another double digit win versus RIT yesterday and shooting over 50% from the field in both games. Was curious how a team was ranked 8th in the preseason poll so a look at their website showed they had lost more than 55% of their scoring and 51% of their rebounding to graduation. With those numbers I would have ranked them 8th as well. Combination of excellent coaching, peaking at the right time, playing consummate team ball all contributed to this impressive achievement. Well done Dutchmen and best of luck in the NCAA tournament.  Footnote - hope Hobart gets a Pool C bid, Coach Sweeney and the team deserve it.

Took awhile to figure out who was going to get the final spot in the LL playoffs and congrats to Vassar. Very interesting season and never expected the double figures in losses for Skidmore. St. Lawrence a bit easier to understand once Naclerio went down. Clarkson finished strong and just missed getting the final spot. Hobart lived up to its preseason billing finishing first as was predicted back in November in the LL coaches survey. Biggest surprise had to be Union which was predicted 8th of 10 and then locking up a second place slot. Coach Sweeney is doing a very good at Hobart but the Union coach really got the maximum out of his players. Good luck to all in the playoffs.
