Bill Curry?  Didn't he used to coach at Berwick?

Hilarious...

Anyway, King's fans, fear not.  I believe you're still locked in at, at least, the 2 seed.  Assuming FDU wins out including at Scandlon on Saturday, there are 2 relevant scenarios:
a.) Scranton wins both: Scranton gets the 1 at 11-3.  King's and FDU tie at 10-4.  1st tie-breaker is head-to-head, which will have been a split.  2nd tie-breaker is record against the #1 team (Scranton), where King's was 2-0.  King's gets the 2 seed, and would host FDU in consecutive games.
b.) Scranton splits: Three way tie at 10-4.  Tie-breaker is head-to-head among teams tied.  King's will have been 3-1, FDU will have been 2-2, Scranton is 1-3.  Noting use of the future perfect tense, King's still gets the 1 seed despite closing with two straight losses, and Scranton has to travel to Jersey.

CJ, where will you be travelling next week?

[NEPAFAN]

Thank you to Wilkes....GO FDU.



How bout a 40 minute effort Royals next time you face Kings?



As far as the D3/D4 debate I would love to hear some of the SID's opinions...

CJ,
Thanks for appreciating the Curry reference as only a true local-yokel would.

I should've quoted CC in my original post to alleviate any confusion.

Now that's a good zinger by the lefthander.

Big win for the Colonels with league Rookie of the Year, Tom Kresge,  leading the way.  The win gives Coach JR a chance to keep his streak going of winning seasons for the Colonels in his tenure at Wilkes.  Wilkes (11-11, 0-3) has Drew at home in the season finale on Saturday.

[ljk]

Make that 3-10  in conference for the Colonels.

[NEPAFAN]

Nothing like a monumental Wilkes upset to bring out the posting faithful. 

[ljk]

NEPA:  It wasn't monumental, but it was a very nice win.  It's been a long year for the faithful posters, and it might have jumbled up the conference seedings which is always a good thing.   

[cold_case]

I always thought when a 2-10 knocks off a 10-2, it's a major upset.

CJ, where will you be travelling next week?

That's just "cold"... ouch.

I know you have a Scranton sweatshirt in the back of your closet....I settle for you rooting for FDU on Saturday!

[chargers]

no mention of Gabriel (Wilkes) how did he play? Did John Kelly play?

[naismith]

John Kelly dnp from what I remember.
Colonels started TK at 2 and Gabe, Adams, Kline up front.

Gabe played point on the 1-3-1 zone with MG chasing.
Wilkes changed up a few times but ended with mostly man.

Gabe played hard...he always does.
He didn't make an impact in the scoring column ....

I'd call his game "quiet" last nite.
Tom K was making a whole lot of noise. He was hitting from all sides... a wide assortment of shots....3's, short jumpers, turnarounds, spins ......

As to JK, very talented...but he down't play with confidence imho. He seems to think too much and not rely on his instincts.....the hesitation has resulted in a lot of unnecessary to's. ( A good example was the Clarkson game early season when he hestiated on a breakaway slam dunk and missed the shot altogether) . It's my understanding that JK hasn't played that much 'organized' ball in the past.....He needs to just play basketball.....and stay disciplined. No doubt, he has the talent to play at this level.

CJ,
    What if Scranton loses both and Desales wins both; then we have Kings/FDU tied for 1st and Scranton/Desales tied for 3rd.

BJ - DSU SID,
   What's that #2 tiebreaker; does anybody play a 3rd(nonconference) game against each other?
