Thanks for the heads up on the game, Gordon!   Until now, i hadn't realized that if FDU and DVC win tomorrow night, Del Val will host the final on Saturday.  First things first, however - GO Aggies, please make the Cougars an endangered species tomorrow night, and come on FDU - you can do it, too!   Thanks again to Gordon for the info and also to Del Val's stellar S.I.D., Matt Levy for the  seeding reminder.

Sorry for the double here, but on page 207 (previous page), Gordon Mann has the link to watch the Aggie/Misericordia play-off game tomorrow night at 7 pm.

Kate...I can't believe you are rooting against us vs. FDU-Florham.  You know are just as welcome to Billera Hall as you are James Work Gymnasium.  And the hot dogs are much tastier.

Besides that...you can also view the other Freedom semifinal on video tomorrow night - http://www.desalesathletics.tv

O.K., then, BJ - we REALLY hope to see all you DeSales' people on Sat.!!!!    The hot dogs - don't know about that one, but we do like your food variety :)      The only thing that would make this time of the year better is if the Aggie women were still playing!

Congratulations to the Aggie men tonight - Del Val 65/Misericordia 49!    Now, we head to DeSales on Saturday!!!

Nice win by Delaware Valley tonight.

Jeremy Beckett reportedly battled an illness leading up to the game but played a great second half, scoring 15 points after the break including two crowd-pleasing dunks. Daulton Derr carried the offensive load for key portions of the game and Francis Arnold hit three consecutive threes to give the Aggies the lead for good. Steve Ware is a keeper for Misericordia.

DeSales' Coach Scott Coval is a great coach, but Casey Stitzel would get my vote for Conference Coach of the Year. I've seen this team a handful of times during the season and they have really come together. Kudos to him and Del Val for reaching the finals.

Stitzel won Coach of the Year and he's not the only Aggie to get a major award.  Jeremy Beckett took player of the year and speedy guard Zach Sly took Rookie of the Year. Congrats to all three selections.

Congrats to DVC on beating DeSales today! D3 March Madness here comes DVC!

Pretty wild. How many seniors can say they went from worst to first to worst to first again in four years? :)

That game was amazing!!!   Huge congratulations to the Delaware Valley College Aggies!!!

Congrats to Del Val for pulling off a miracle!!! Great atmosphere today........the Aggies faithful travelled well (my, oh my, is that gym small or what??) and were rewarded for their awesome support.

What more is there to say. The preseason #5 (or #6) knocked off the preseason #1 on the road, where DeSales was 13-1 going into the game. I'm out of words to say so I'll just thank the Aggies for a remarkable season. The shortest (and slightest) team in the MAC, the fewest players on the roster of any team in the MAC and to win after Nate Bollinger transfers to Millersville is mind boggling!!

You are playing with house money now. Coach Stitzel.......use this momentum to have a great (tall:) recruiting class and shock the D3 Basketball World again next season!!

Thanks!!

Don't look now but it's time for a rhyme.
Uncle Sam is back for tournament time.
Without his presence, this board is dead.
"Today, Uncle Sam shall return!" he said.
As you read this, you can guess what he'll say.
He has declared today Del Val Day!
Congratulations to Coach Stitzel and staff.
Many doubted, now Sam has a laugh.
Another freedom title, is this true?
Indeed it is, they're better than you.
Del Val clearly has widened the gap.
America's Program is back on the map.
What is left for Uncle Sam to write?
Can the Aggies make a run? They just might.
