MBB: MAC Freedom League

ljk,

Wilkes ---Who is going to score the ball???

Matt G will play the point and distribute. I think he will shoot a bit more with Mike C. and Chris S. gone.
I expect Kable will play the 2 and he can shoot  with anybody.

They have a couple of freshman guards that I haven't seen play. My guess is that they will see some time.

At forwards, I think one freshman will probably start. Word is that he can score.
Steve Kline will probably be the power forward ( I am guessing as I really do not know).
SK showed some glimpses as a frosh. I think we should see a lot more of him. He has a nice inside game and good instincts. Looking for big improvement.
Not sure, but another frosh may replace EW at center.  Again, this is a time will tell situation.....

I would think Dan Adams, Durako plus a few others will get some serious minutes as the year progresses.

The scorers will sort themselves out.

Hey, no doubt, this has become a challenging year for Wilkes. They lost a number of key players to graduation.......should be interesting.

Coach JR has transitioned before. I expect the Colonels will be just fine.

Anyone know why Mcgowan left the Royals?

Anyone know why Mcgowan left the Royals?

Perhaps he wanted to find a more like-minded institution with an academic focus.

Saturday, November 18: Susquehanna 98, King's 97 (OT)

SELINSGROVE, PA – Josh Robinson scored a tournament-record 52 points to earn Most Valuable Player honors as host Susquehanna University defeated King's College 98-97 in the championship game of the Pepsi/Weis Markets Tip-Off Tournament at O.W.Houts Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.



Josh Robinson, D1 transfer from Drake. Wow. SU will be in Scranton for the Royal's Radisson Tourny, should be interesting.

"Perhaps he wanted to find a more like-minded institution with an academic focus". Well, that eliminates Wilkes right off the bat now doesn't it? Actually, he's still with the team in a non-roster sense...his foot just hasn't healed...no pun intended...as he hoped & the wear & punishment of all the aspects of playing basketball make for a questionable recovery. He missed virtually all of last season because of it & was obviously hoping the surgury would have corrected the problem & allowed him to play once again pain free.

Scranton has stumbled a bit comign out of the gate....a 9 point win over Misri and a 10 point loss at home vs Catholic. They have Kings weds in WB for the last time as a member of the MAC...this room is dead!

The King's College vs. University of Scranton men's basketball game Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. will be available to the public in two forms. 

First, the game will be webcast live over the internet by WRKC Radio.  To listen to the webcast, which will be done in radio style format, go to http://www.kings.edu/IITS/index.htm and click on "WRKC LIVE" in the lower right hand corner of the page under the "King's News" listing.

The game will also be televised on King's campus by KCTV.  The game, however, will also be streamed onto the internet and can be viewed on your computer screen as if watching television. 

To view the television stream from your computer, go to http://www.kings.edu/IITS/index.htm and click onto the "KCTV LIVE" link under the "King's News" listing. 

Or you can type the following URL address into your browser:  mms://streams.kings.edu/kctv to obtain the broadcast.

Bob,

Will the Misericordia at King's swim meet be available on-line as well?

Actually, the Kings/Scranton game will be "available" in two additional "public" forums...get off your butt and attend the game or if that is not an option...you can also hear it on WUSR, 99.5 with the "Dean" of college play by play calling all the action. The UofS web will also bring you the same broadcast. Could be the Royals last visit to Monarchville for awhile since they are moving out of the MAC. Will Kings want to schedule Scranton next year & beyond or are the feelings between the two just a little too caustic right now? Will the Royals want Kings? I think with Catholic in the Landmark Conference...the Royals just found a new & very competitive rival. As for the game itself, Kings has a very good inside/out game as do the Royals...only problem for Scranton is the guys being counted on to carry some of the load from the perimiter are not exactly firing on all cylinders just yet. Kings & Scranton should both win their respective home games...however, tomorrow is different...the Royals get hot from the outside & their defense comes to play & in their last game in Kings gym for the next 10 years (if they play in the future Kings has to play in the Long Center) it will be the Monarchs 61/Scranton 68.

Why listen to "The Dean" when you can listen to Garfield & The Fonz??

And don't look past the end to another rivalry - this is Lycoming's last game at Wilkes before their move next season.  My Top 5 Wilkes - Lycoming moments:

5. Lyco over Wilkes for the '04 MAC-F title... 3rd worst officiated game, ever.
4. Huggler talking crap at me before the game 3 years ago. 
3. Kevin Walsh's leaning 6-footer to win one 82-80 at home in '01
2. Tom Wesner's 40 point explosion in an OT win at the Marts Center in '02
1. Wilkes at Lyco Feb '01, when I asked my now-wife out on a date for the first time.

Other nominees include Wilkes's Homecoming football game in 2000, where a disallowed TD cost Wilkes a stunning upset victory, and a couple of classics in '96.

Saratoga thanks for the explination on Mcgowan. Indeed a few of the senior royals need to find their game......


Is the Lyco-Wilkes game over the airwaves?

Are you seeing something the rest of us are not, NEPAFAN??

Checked sataroga's post at the top of the page and again. no mention of McGowan.
