MBB: MAC Freedom League

[Jon]

Makes sense to me...at the current pace at least the facility will be available.

I'd like to see people of the league petition for the next Eastern/Manhattanville game (if it occurs) to be played at a neutral site.  If the regular season games are any indication, home court means just way too much to both teams.

Are you offering the PEC?

[chairman]

You guys crack me up.  Is there a policy for visiting tickets for playoff games in the Freedom? Based on the current standings I'm going to vote for a neutral site as well, but fifty-100 visiting fans could turn M'ville into a neutral site pretty quickly.

[Jon]

50-100 fans traveling in either direction would make the home gym neutral.

I'm willing to offer the PEC so long as it's a BYOStaff situation.

Man I leave the office, get some dinner, and spend 3 hours painting the house.  After settling in front of the tube for some PGA Tour replay action, the posting up section has blown up.

Jumpball - I probably am a bit sensitive to criticism...but what do you expect.  No one likes to see the team they root for criticized...especially when they are 18-4 and having a terrific season (thus far). 

I don't like the neutral site idea.  You gotta get something for winning the regular season title.  And home court advantage seems to be a nice prize for doing that.

If you are attending a game at MVille or Eastern...get there early or you could be watching it via LIVE stats.

chairman,
you obviously have never been to a mville home court playoff game....lol

jon,
didn't mville give alvernia the business on their home court?  jus wondering, or is it that mville is just good when they play at home?

having a nuetral site it the most ridiculous thing i ever heard of...ok guys lets get out there and bust our butts every game so we could play for a NUETRAL site playoff game. YEAHH!!!! The top seed earns that advantage for their regular season efforts - bottom line.

desales is a great team, and very well coached, i dont know how anyone could think otherwise, their record speaks for itself..

[Jon]

mid-range, yes, Mville gave Alvernia the business on the Crusaders' home court, as did Eastern for the first time in 10 years. 

Obviously I'm not seriously going to petition for neutral site playoff games...I was merely pointing to the 45-point swing in the home court wins in the Eastern/Manhattanville series.

[chairman]

I was thinking a neutral site would be great for either venue so more than a smattering of fans could have the opportunity to actually see the game. Midrange..if Manhattanville hosts, will the lights be on for a playoff game? 

[lefty2]

MRJ,

While Jon isn't known for his sense of humor  , I think he was kidding about the neutral site.

[mid-range j]

chairman,

if eastern hosts will there be a lockeroom for mville to get to get changed in? or are they going to have to share with the eastern girls again?

[mid-range j]

lefty,
lol its all in good fun...

Changing subjects (and getting me 108 posts away from Karma skills).  The matrix update.

Big games tomorrow.  For those wanting the playoff matrix handy for after the games are over.  Here is the updated version heading into Saturday.

I'll do my best to get time and send the update tomorrow night.

[chairman]

There will not be a women's game in St. Davids that day. So your team will have your own locker room complete with showers.

[lefty2]

Will you be updating at halftime of each game?

[mid-range j]

Truce?  Can I have my karma point back now? lol
