Etown beat Juniata last night, so hopefully I will be seeing their 2nd conference win of the season on Saturday. A win this weekend would also give Coach Schlosser the 250th of his career.

Sounds like the Pioneers had a rough night. Clarksons numbers were well below his average scoring output. The Albright frontcourt is pretty physical. Any correlation? I think Widener will struggle all year with teams that play physical.

When I said they didn't play it was more of the Randy Moss type and not the Scranton injury type.... They were in uniform and on the court, but clearly they did not play....

Was it albright being that good or was it a Widener team not ready after the layoff? Tough one to answer. If I saw it I could tell you. I am betting it was a Randy Moss type situation....

sleeprcell -

Brilliant analysis of the Widener situation. You should drop by the Schwartz Center today and see if Coach Duda has any spots on the coaching staff for you.

Man this board has really gone down the tubes now that LVC is no good and the superstar is gone. What happened to all the faithful Flyin Dutchmen followers out there? Did the cable modems in Anville stop working?

It was good to see the Jays pour it on the Dutchies this past weekend. After a couple tough conference road losses before break they are playing very well. They won the Villa Julie Holiday Tourny upsetting pre-season #15 Trinity in the final (They were up by 25 at one point). They travel to SusqU tomorrow in what should be their first road conference win of the season. And, as we all know the Jays always give Widener fits with their style of play so they should have two very good ball games against each other. Good luck to all, hope to hear from you LVC guys again soon.

Hoopsdafin203:

Good to have you aboard. Truthfully, this whole region has been pretty dead this season.

By the way, Trinity (Conn.) hasn't been ranked since last season. But that's still a decent win for the Jays.

Man I hate eating crow, but I'll make everybody happy. Etown lost by 11 tonight at Susquehanna. I was not in attendence and was very surprised to hear the outcome. This will make it an uphill battle to get into the playoffs for the Jays. They've shown they can play with and beat some good teams, but have also been inconsistent at times. If I know Coach Schlosser he will have them ready to make a run as conference play continues.

On a seperate note can we please get some updates from around the conference? This board is boring. Lets go people!

Widener has a big match-up with Messiah on Saturday night at Brubaker.

The top spot looks like it'll be a close battle between those two and Albright. Messiah beat Albright who beat Widener who beat...Messiah?

We'll see. I hope to be in attendance.

FalconFan · January 19, 2006, 02:16:25 PM

With about 1/3 of conference games played, Albright Widener and Messiah have the top three spots. I suspect they will end up finishing in the top three, but I won't make a prediction on the order.

The Widener game this Saturday is an important one for Messiah as they will still have Widener and Albright road games remaining on the schedule.

rollingthunda · January 19, 2006, 03:38:30 PM

Nice to have a new poster in here....AND of a new fan base too. This is getting a little too exciting for me. Way to go out on a limb there and not make a prediction. Sure its still early, but thats what makes it fun. I'll take:

1. Albright
2. Messiah
3. Widener
4. Elizabethtown

Yea....I had to go with the homer pick for number 4. They should be able to make it in if they can avoid losses to teams that they should beat (see last night). After watching them play a pretty solid game this past Saturday, they left me scratching my head when I saw last nights result. Mr. Reginold, did u get any insight from the players as to what in the world happened? I would sure like to know. They will need to be a little more consistent if they want that last playoff spot.

Weekend pickem....

Moravian @ Etown.....Etown by 17
Widener @ Messiah....Messiah by 11
Juniata @ Albright....Albright by 23...at halftime
Susquehanna @ Leb Val....Leb Val by 7

rolling thunda -

I'll take the dogs in your first three and the favorite in the last.

sleeprcell · January 19, 2006, 05:13:32 PM

It seems as if the flu was going around the Elizabeth team last night why they were not there altogether....talk about a bad loss....no way they should have lost to Susquehana... We beat them by 30 and it was never a game.

I think we will destroy Messiah...(despite my resume not be accepted by the staff)....

Clarkson is the player of the year.

hoopsdafin203 · January 20, 2006, 12:04:08 AM

Word on the street is that Etown came out flat last night. They got down by 11, got it as close as four and ended up losing by 11. This is a devastating loss by any stretch, but it does not put Etown out of the question as far as the conference goes. There is nobody in the conference that wants to play Etown in the playoffs provided they play well enough to get in. On that note I'd say they are definitely the best of the rest after the top 3 teams in the conference and have showed they can atleast play with the top teams in their own gyms. I don't see Widener giving Etown much trouble. Etown will outsmart them (including their coach) and win going away. Where are you Horsewater?
