MBB: Liberty League

Hobart rallies for an impressive road win at NYU, 80-76

[Caz Bombers]

November 15 games, let's get neutral y'all

Bard vs. Trinity (Conn.) - at UMass Dartmouth
Ithaca vs. Oswego - at Elmira
Vassar vs. Fredonia - at Nazareth
Clarkson at Alfred State
RPI vs. Rutgers-Newark - at Westfield State

if the LL went 2-3 the other night when I thought 5-0 was possible, then tonight this crapshack may go 0-5.

Trinity NESCAC should prevail over Bard
Oswego brings back 3 starters and adds a D-I xfer and a wide body
Vassar should prevail over Fredonia
Clarkson lost to Canton the other night, Alfred State is a similar team
RPI on a neutral court should have the edge.

I would say 2-3, Magic will have a more thorough analysis.

Early returns aren't good. Yikes:

Trinity 93, Bard 74
Oswego 85, Ithaca 80
Vassar down 10 with 3 mins left vs. Fredonia

[thebear]

I'm seeing 62-54 Vassar with 9 seconds left.

[thebear]

But apparently the hosts have screwed up the rosters, so it is Fredonia 62- Vassar 54 with :07 left.

Final Fredonia 64 Vassar 56

[d3d3d3]

Clarkson 73, Alfred State 65
Rutgers-Newark 61, RPI 58 (RPI up 29-16 at half)

[Caz Bombers]

how does this conference just keep getting worse every year?

[thebear]

Part of the Problem is that the LL is five [RIT, Union, RPI, SLU, Clarkson] D-I hockey schools [that's the major revenue sport] with a bunch of D-III programs that have some degree of success regionally.  They also have Ithaca which is a Big PE school and has a perennial D-III football power.

[d3d3d3]

Stevens 67, Skidmore 55
Husson 80, Bard 68
Ithaca 86, Elmira 56
Vassar 72, Hunter 66
Westfield State 78, RPI 52
RIT up 20 at half over D'Youville
Clarkson plays later

What an embarrassing opening weekend for RPI....

Still injuries to the SLU front court.  Won't know how good this team is until they're healthy.   Although I will say, it may be that some of these guys are suspended.   Freeman and Huntley didn't look injured last week, and they're shooting around in warm ups (although not playing) and don't appear as if anything is wrong with them.   Karera is definitely still injured but the rest of these guys actually don't look hurt.   Still, until Freeman plays we won't know how good this team actually is.   

[stlawus]

Downs is absolutely killing me with this zone.  This is a winnable game against Plattsburgh and the zone is losing it.   

[stlawus]

If Downs plays man to man he's likely 2-0 against 2 decent teams right now instead of 0-2.  The zone is absolutely KILLING the season.   They've given up 23 threes in 2 games.   This is ridiculous.
