[CCHoopster]

I went 2-2 and was way off on scores.

Questions- Dave, anyone else have any thoughts on the MACF?

1- What's up with DeSales?
2- Is Wilkes capable of making a run to get into the playoffs?
3- Is Del Val for real or the coach an up and coming super star (using that lightly)? That's incredible to be 4-1 right now.


Saturday games:

Mis 77 DeSales 73
Wilkes 66 Kings 59
MVille 69 Eastern 66
DVU 79 FDU 71

Shouldn't you change your handle to 'FC'Hoopster when you come in this room?

[CCHoopster]

Why?

[lefty2]

Freedom Conference.

[CCHoopster]

Oh, duh. Well CC are my initials so I'll probably keep it for now! I have an affection for the MAC/Centennial and D3. My sister, brother and I played in those conferences, (many moons ago), my son and daughter too and have a nephew in the Freedom now although he is just a roster filler but loves the game!

This is my way to stay connected to a game I love and fills a passion for D3 Hoops. Living in Lancaster Pa, there are many schools close by in D3 which helps see many games.

I figured CC was for Commonwealth Conference.

[CCHoopster]

I could see why!

I figured CC was for Commonwealth Conference.

I hope your nephew doesn't come on here.

My nephew was a team manager for two years and they gave him a uniform last year, he is a senior this year. As he say's, got to get a uniform somehow! Beauty of D3.

Another nice road win, Aggies!  Congrats and Good Luck Wednesday night with Eastern!  One at a time!

[CCHoopster]

The Freedom is going to be a nice hot mess down the stretch... should make things very interesting over the next four weeks.

Last nights results (I did not watch any games, just read the recaps)

- Wilkes 64-King's 63. Robinson makes two free throws to get the win with time expiring.

- Misericordia 99 DeSales 76. DeSales better figure things out. Misericordia is set to go on a tear I think.

- Eastern 79 Manhattanville 63. Mville is a tough place to play against a tough, physical team. This was a good win for the Eagles.

- DVU 81 FDU 63. DVU was up 31 with 5 or 6 minutes left at FDU. This is a place where FDU beat both a healthy Mis and beat DeSales.

Current Standings:

DVU 5-1
Eastern 5-1
Mis 3-3
DeSales 3-3
Wilkes 3-3
Florham 3-3
MVille 2-4
Kings 0-6

Wednesday predictions:

Mis 88 Wilkes 74= Mis is not the team I would want to play right now. They will be on a tear. They are not a 3-3 team in will prove so.

FDU 67 MVille 64= Toss up but FDU has had some strong home wins and this one is at FDU.

DeSales 84 Kings 66= DeSales is bound to win a game and King's does not have the horses to compete in this one.

DVU 79 Eastern 71= DVU can win on the road. This could go either way. Winner could really begin to separate themselves. As I have read, teams probably would not want to have to go through DVU as the home team in the playoffs. Eastern could win this game with their depth and home court advantage. Anytime you have Turk, you can win too.

[CCHoopster]

Sooooo.... I was wrong, LOL, on DVU and Eastern. Eastern took them outback. DeSales pulled out a close one vs Kings, Misericordia cleaned up on Wilkes and MVille stayed alive with a win, a needed win, over FDU. Eastern is setting themselves up nicely to try and secure a home playoff game while Misericordia looks to be back at full strength, getting early season like results.

Saturday Games:

Wilkes 76 at DVU 65- Here is a chance for DVU to either unravel or follow up a poor performance with a great one at home. I think Wilkes shows up and takes this one from DVU late.

DeSales 83 at Easter 79- The Bulldogs find a way to hold off a late Eastern surge to win by 4. DeSales gets back to form but still struggles to keep the Eagles from scoring in bunches.

FDU Florham 66 at Misericordia- 89- This one is not close from the tip. Coach Chandler has his horses back and their big three are killing it. Mis and DeSales are making a run at Eastern and DVU's top two spots. Each will inch closer this weekend.

Kings 59 at Manhattanville 69- MVille gets another one and King's falls to 0-8. Not a flashy game but a big win for Mville who will stay in the playoff hunt for now.

Until Saturday night, have a great week!

So, hashtag for the Aggies today should be 'takin care of business'.  Nice home W this afternoon, DV!!!
