MBB: MAC Freedom League

First, Good luck to all MAC Teams playing in tournaments this week between Christmas and New Years' - next, on Sunday, January 3, Delaware Valley University will play Swarthmore, who as I type this are 9/0. Del Val is currently 9/1. It's a double header at DVU, with the women playing Dickinson at 3. Should be great games! Hope to see everyone there!

Looking forward to see what the Garnet can do. So far, they haven't played anyone of note. Opponents overall record 26-47.

Swarthmore-Del. Val could be interesting. Del. Val. opponents' overall records are 33-60. Not much different than Swarthmore's.

Congratulations to DVU and Lehigh Valley's own Chris Moran who hit the big 1,000 last night pouring in a total of 30 points in Del Val's win over Pine Manor College in a tournament in Hartford, Conn. Good luck today Men in the Championship game!

O.K., Aggie Men, so you lost in today's Championship game to Trinity of Connecticut - Congratulations to them, and know that it really helped prepare you for League play starting January 13th!!! Good luck with Swarthmore Sunday afternoon! We're heading down to Doylestown for the doubleheader! Really can't wait to see you play!

De Val's game yesterday against Swarthmore didn't disappoint! Understandably, the Garnet, being undefeated fought well, especially in the second half, but the Aggies prevailed, 70/65.

Not surprised at all that Swarthmore lost. They could easily lose 5 of their next 6 games. That stretch of games will indicate if they are a new, improved team or the same old team.

O.K., the Del Val men lost a close one yesterday, 60/57, but Saturday's matchup with rival DeSales is shaping up to be a gigantic game for possession of first place in the MAC! Sure hope the weather cooperates, and that James Work is jumping for both Women's and Men's outings - Go AGGIES!!!

Swarthmore has lost 2 more since their DV loss, and held on to beat McDaniel as McDaniel missed 2 threes at the end the game.

Del Val has to win at FDU-Florham on Wednesday night first. The DeSales game is juicier if first place is on the line, and not a potential three-game losing streak.

Del Val won tonight at FDU - now the stage is set for a battle for first place on Saturday afternoon with DeSales. The BullDogs won tonight by a point over Wilkes. Three p.m. - now, we just need the weather to cooperate!

Misericordia at Eastern moved up to Friday evening... 8:00 start time.

Same for Del Val/DeSales, though the games start at 5 pm and 7 pm.

That's a bummer for me. I was looking forward to the games, but I'm not sure if it's worth the risk to drive in the snow. If the storm arrives just a little earlier than expected -- like an hour or two -- the roads will be a mess when the game ends.

Shouldn't be a problem for DeSales since they have such a short trip and aren't headed south.

Thank you Rob Knox for an excellent article on the Delaware Valley University Men's Basketball Team! Good luck today with the DeSales game starting at 7, AND, good luck to the Lady Aggies in their game as well. That game starts at 5!, also with DeSales.
