MBB: MAC Freedom League

You mean you can't get there by car?

If you want to risk on the street parking and pay the meter or pay a fortune to park in a lot, sure go ahead.

ECAC Selections

That's what I like about the NCAA, always thinking of the paying fans.
Baruch is far from a central location and shouldn't be hosting since they got knocked out in their own tournament.
Either Patterson or Scranton, both league champs and their campuses are easier to get to, should be the host school.
At least we get to see Rembibas stand on the court the entire time and complain about every call that goes against his team.
Stalker, are you sure he went to The Hall and not Wilkes.

You ever watch PJ coach?  Jose had a good teacher, he can be a whiner but he is a good coach.  When he starts whining too much we like to shout, Sit Down Tony Montana!  He loves that.

Baruch is still the higher seed. What do you mean, not thinking of the paying fans? Don't Baruch's fans merit any consideration? The CUNYAC hasn't hosted a multi-team event like this in years. I think they can have a turn.

Are we thinking of Baruch fans? What about fans of the other three schools?
Besides, right now my main concern is trying to figure out how to put up a photo on here. I'm working on it.

[NEPAFAN]

What was Baruch's seed? I am curious how they come in higher than Scranton and/or WP?

[Knightstalker]

Baruch has been the top ranked team in the Atlantic in every regional poll this season.  They have had a exceptional season with some quality wins, including a big win over William Paterson.

Knightstalker,

Baruch has an early-season come-from-behind 81-77 home win over a King's team that was without an injured Soboleski and a not-yet-enrolled Nenstiel.  The Monarchs were no where near as competitive at that time as they were later in the season. I can't take that team, too seriously.......

[Knightstalker]

Baruchs two big wins are against SUNY-Farmingdale and WPU, the WPU win coming in the end of January so I think that it is a significant win.  Of the four schools in that bracket they have had the best season and deserve to host.  So are you  headed to NYC for the games Bob?

[saratoga]

I'm really surprised the selection committee doesn't have Ursinus traveling to SUNY Farmingdale...heck, they probably haven't hosted anything recently either...oh,wait...they hosted their Skyline championships in front of a whopping 425 people on Sat. Give them credit...they got that one right. I may need to place a call to John Rocker for his assesment of Baruch & the local sights.

[Knightstalker]

So a team that was ranked sixth or seventh in the last public regional rankings should host over a team that was the top ranked team in their region in every ranking?  This is also a team that beat the team that was probably the second selection as host in William Paterson.  It is not like it is an undoable drive, NYC is only about 90 minutes from Scranton.  William Paterson would have been almost as far.

[Leo The Lion]

You'll love Baruch Saratoga, its in the heart of NYC.  In fact you have to pass the Empire State Building and MSG just to get there.  By the way, Baruch may be able to beat the team that plays at MSG.

Leo: When we head into the city, I tend to go right by the Port Authority up to 6th.Ave., hang a left & go down to RadioCity (50th.) make a right & go straight to a rather nice old place on 49th. & Park. The atmosphere downstairs at the Bull & Bear is terrific. Chances are we won't be going this weekend...but, I'll be there next week for a few days while the Big East games are going on.  If I told my wife there was a great sale going on at Sak's she'd have us packed in a minute...a game at Baruch...not a bloody chance. Looks like Lady Royals this weekend.
