MBB: MAC Freedom League

jumpball · November 22, 2010, 10:41:33 AM

looks like the league is off to a real nice start as most teams took care of biz in their respective tourneys....impressive couple of wins for kings taking out a very good bridgewater team and then beating susquehanna on their home court. showed surprising depth, especially in the forward ranks. hammonds a real nice addition at 2 guard. another tough match up with albright tomorrow night. schedule is front-loaded with some strong teams but should make them a tougher group come league play

Wilkes lost to Galluadet at Muhlenberg...not a great start..

looks to me that the freedom teams went 18-5 over the weekend. can't vouch for the level of competition in every case but thats a pretty fair start i think

Leb Val 80, Wilkes 61. 1st half seemed like an even enough game. Wilkes hit a bunch of 3's to keep it a 1-possession game for most of the half. 2nd half - looked like Senior, and leading scorer, DeRojas didn't see much action. Offense falls apart, Leb Val wins going away.

The good news for Coach Rickrode - his alma mater won an epic last night. Skidmore pulls off a W in a D3 record SEVEN overtimes: http://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2010/11/longest---game---ever

Good seeing the Colonels back in the 717. My compliments to the schedule maker. See ya at Wilkes- King's One in a few months...

Uncle Sam · November 24, 2010, 10:24:53 AM

As we sit here and reflect on this Thanksgiving eve,
Sam has a word for you, you better believe.
He apologizes to all for his absense of late,
But some of your comments have Uncle Sam irrate.
Other than Jones, no mention of Del Val.
The Aggies have a squad that will make you say "WOW!"
Some early mis-steps have occured so far.
This is expected with how young they are.
As league games begin and we move through the year,
The Freedom will recognize who they must fear.
"America's Program" is what you will call them,
And Uncle Sam will leave you with this little gem:
Happy Thanksgiving to your families and you,
But the road to the Freedom rolls through Doylestown. It's true.

hmmm.... This we know for sure. The Freedom Champion will play at least one game in Doylestown this season. Good rhyming Sam, but when your squad starts three seniors, you have to have a different excuse for early mis-steps. That being said, it looks like Coach Stitzel and his legion of assistant coaches have the Aggies competing against a good early season schedule.
Can we expect to see new faces at semester?

The Aggie men got revenge tonight, beating the FDU squad 73/72 with three ticks left on the clock. Sealed it with a trey - Way to go Aggies!!!

kate · December 04, 2010, 05:14:44 PM

Ah, once again the Aggie men have extracted revenge for the women's tough loss this afternoon - the guys won in OT, 82/79!!! They beat DeSales on the Bulldogs home court.

Congrats to the FDU men and women - sweep over Wilkes today....

FDU pulls one out!

Nice win over CNJ

Great story on DSU senior Brian Hunter here for anyone wishing to read.

Aggie men won today 77/69 over Misericordia. The five starters had double figure scoring.

ColonelJohn4Life · January 12, 2011, 07:09:24 PM

Just checked out the MAC-F standings to get a read as to how the Wilkes-Eastern game would shake out tonight. Saw Wilkes at 1-2, and Eastern at 2-1, and didn't really think too much of it. Saw DeSales at 1-2, and thought it looked a little strange, and then, like seeing the Loch Ness Monster face-to-face, it appeared to me:

DELAWARE VALLEY 3-0

Del Val! First place by themselves! Is today April 1st? Did D3hoops get hacked? Is Uncle Sam a greater force than we originally considered?? Either way, ummm, congrats to Kate?

As a reminder, it's 7:08 Eastern Standard Time on Jan 12, 2011... and Scranton still sucks.

Hi CJ, it's always fun to see your posts - however, last night was NOT a fun night for Aggie fans, as the guys couldn't get revenge for the women's loss, and despite 31 point from James Jones, they lost to King's. Congrats on the Wilkes win. The MAC looks very competitive this season.
