MBB: MAC Freedom League

[Warren Thompson]

Mr. Naismith,
You'd be surprised to hear of another school that may be joining the Landmark down the road.

For Pete's sake! Don't keep us in suspense. If you've got the facts, share 'em.

Or are you just talking to be talking?

I didn't know LV moved to the Freedom League.

You lurk on the Freedom board quite a bit so I'm starting to wonder if LV is a member.

Warren's a Hall of Famer.  Easy, CC.  He's encouraged to patrol our board.  When you organize a Pizza Summit (a feat not unachievable), then you can talk.

That said, I was wondering myself - the Freedom stands to lose 3 teams (F'n Scranton, Lycoming, and Drew), but only stands to pick up 2 teams (Arcadia and Manhattanville).  Wasn't there some thing a while ago about conferences with 8 teams getting automatic bids - moreover, do we have to pick up another school, stat, in order to maintain our automatic bid to the NCAA's?

CJ, I wouldn't be shocked to see the two local M&M schools in the Freedom next season.

Let's not make too much of this HoF thing. The last time I mentioned it to my bride of 40-plus years, she said, "Well, if the Hall of Famer isn't too busy, maybe he could lower himself to take out the garbage and change the kitty litter."

Currently it is seven teams for a conference to receive an automatic bid, so the Freedom will have seven next year, unless some other unforseen stuff happens.

...  the Freedom will have seven next year, unless some other unforseen stuff happens.

Given the current status of the MAC, for all we know F&M, Dickinson, and Gettysburg may beg forgiveness for their past sins in forming the Centennial and reapply for membership ....

Scranton wins, King's has a great comeback, both 5-1.  Mark your calendars for the big battle at the Long Center on Jan. 31. 

CC,
You can't come here talking about the Landmark Conference without naming names.  What's the scoop?

[naismith]

Cc,

Yeah,  I heard that Wilkes may be headed that way.
Had not heard the Miseri and Marywood Freedom rumor.

For me, the more local games the better....
To me, the $4.00 ($5.00 at Scranton) is a great bargain for hoop junkies


The Scranton Doctors vs the Wilkes Lawyers in the Landmark...hmmmm.

I guess Kings wanted no part of either (heard they turned down joint participation in the Scranton Med Sch. and the Wilkes Law Sch.)... so they remain a mere College versus a pair of colossal Universites...

CJ,

The majority of those shooting stats were from pre-conference games. At that time Kable was shooting extremely well, Kresge was connecting long range and Matt G added a few.
Not lately though.
Going into the Drew game Tom K was 4-22 from the floor and Kable not much better. (Freedom games only)
As both were considered to be primary options on offense and opposition defenses are keying on them, it is incumbent that some other player pick up the slack. With the exception of MG, it has not happened with any consistency.


My guess is that Wilkes Freedom  shooting is less than 20% for 3's, less than 35% for 2's and less than 60% free throws.
Haven't seen a stat sheet but that is my guess.

Naismith,

WILKES???

Next time, she pulls that crap, tell her that your mustard blazer needs to be taken to the dry cleaners.  And while she's at it, have her polish your bronze bust.

And Cold-Case, a big congratulations on your Colts.  How great was it, down the stretch, to see Belichick mismanage time-outs, the Pats go 3 and out, commit a roughing the passer, and then Brady throws the conference-losing interception... now who's the best to never win a big one?  Dungy and Peyton are absolved.

Never. Were I to assay what you suggest, my next post would be from the local critical care unit ....
