MBB: MAC Freedom League

[chairman]

It would be interesting to see the break-down on the number of votes White did receive. I think that coaches were likely to vote for one Del Val player (they finished sixth), and not two. IMO the coaches chose the right Del Val player. I agree that the list was pretty much right on.

DeSale's Bulldogs still in it - GOOD LUCK!

[jumpball]

Tip of the cap to Desales, doing the league proud once again.  Great season.  I will miss watching Mr. Braswell.  I am hoping there is an overseas contract in his future somewhere.  Nice kid, great player.  Best of luck to him.

[Coach K]

Any word on when they will be announcing the participates for the D3 all-star game in Salem? Does Braswell have a shot?

[BJ - DSU SID]

I believe they announce the participants in the NABC Senior All-Star game early this week.

As far as does Braswell have a shot?

I think he's a lock...but I can't say its official until I hear it on the official announcement.

D3Hoops announced this year's All American Teams prior to Saturday's National Championship Game.

Darnell Braswell of DeSales University was named to the Second Team

No surprise for the Player of the Year honors as junior guard Steve Djurickovic of Carthage College won that award.

[Uncle Sam]

Fall is here and summer has passed.
Uncle Sam is back from the shore, at last.
You all have missed him, this much is true.
But don't you go worrying, he's got a message for you.
Football, soccer and other sports compete,
But Del Val hoops brings Sam to his feet.
As you all get ready for the upcoming season,
Del Val's better than you, here is the reason:
Another great class is coming to school.
There are a lot of good players in that talent pool.
You'll discuss your teams, which you will overrate.
But Uncle Sam is tired of the Del Val hate.
We will see you in March, accept it or not.
When its all said and done, they're the best of the lot.
As he looks forward to all of your comments and cheer,
Be sure to remember, Uncle Sam is here.

[chairman]

ok... we'll agree to see.

[ColonelJohn4Life]

Heh heh... Del Val...

[Wolfpac]

Hey Uncle Sam are you a Lit major? ? ?



Maybe the women have a shot.

[Wolfpac]

Ok, who is coaching where in the MAC, anything new?  How good is EU this year?  Whats up with DeSales?    Misericordia going to shoot the lights out........?

[jumpball]

I see the coaches poll is out, and by the looks of it, they too see the league as essentially WIDE open.  Cannot agree that FDU will not be a factor though - I really think they will surprise and give everyone problems if they are healthy and return same bunch from last season.  their starting unit is vastly underrated IMO.  should be interesting, nearly everyone lost some significant talent, who knows what the frosh will bring...braswell is irreplaceable, wilkes losing kresge will hurt and kings lost some perimeter scoring.  eastern should be strong as long as soaries can play. miseri can score, jones will light it up for delval and desales is still desales.  time for the board to heat up....need some new poetry sam....

[hoopzwiz]

It's obviously early and the opponent wasn't strong but Wilkes looked good on Monday night at PSU-Hazleton.  If they are next to last in the Freedom then the Freedom is a strong conference.

Let's get this board going a little bit.

[BJ - DSU SID]

DeSales beats Alvernia, 77-74 on this shot on Saturday ---

Wow, BJ.  Great work on the video.  That half-court game-winner is a gem! Congrats to DeSales on the win.

Other news, I get to see a rematch of the 1999 MAC Championship game tomorrow at Leb Val tomorrow night.
