Sure was an entertaining game this evening at the Long Center....I think Scranton has a legitimate shot at going all the way. It will depend a lot on how the brackets land though. Kings played well but the bottom line is that they are 1 year away. I can't see any conference team, save for Desales, staying with 15 points of them next season.

Can't wait 'till Friday....

Pat, what do you think the odds are that Scranton hosts next weekend??

First, Kate, I just have to say, I think you are classy - I love how you are dedicated to your DVC team - but respect how you enjoy the competition in the MAC! And, yes, Now we are all MAC! Speaking of which, sometimes I long for the "good ole days" of the crossover games in the MAC. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that there are two halves b/c that means two AQ's. And, obviously, it would be somewhat anticlimactic to have an overall MAC championship game now, just because! But, maybe we'll get to see a playoff in the NCAA tourney between the two MAC champs! Scranton vs. Messiah match up - thoughts!? GO MAC in the NCAA tourney! Turn on the music, it's time to dance!

Kate,

I echo the sentiments of Macfan. If I could figure out how to give you a karma point I would.

You have kept this board alive and I look forward to your posts. I honestly wish you and DVC best wishes and success in the future.

She is a sweetheart isn't she? Too bad we may not be seeing much of each other in the future...but, I've always loved your heart. Now if only you could get your team to play with the passion you have... things may improve in D-town. PS. Thanks for the memories!

RoyalGator: How nice do you have it...all the great games at the UofS as an undergrad...move on to the UofF for your Masters & then see the men win the Natl. Championship & the football team isn't too shabby either. Beware of the Lady Royals again this year...they are getting better as the season & the opposition get tougher...Mellody & Matt are peaking as are kids like Mooney, Daly & Fabio. They should get a bye on Wed's. then host on Sat. However, we are talking NCAA here so there may be a miscalculation or two along the way that ends up sending the Lady Royals to play at 4-21 Lycoming. Stay tuned on Royals Radio...which is the BEST in D-III for all your B-Ball action.

Scranton get ready because Gwynedd-Mercy will probably be rolling in next Friday night after winning their 18th straight game and 36th straight league game and 2nd straight PAC Championship , it should be fun.

MAYBE at 25-2 the TOP 25 just might start taking notice of GMC. If not they will have to after next weekend!!!!!!!!!

roy_a · February 25, 2007, 07:28:10 AM

Saratoga--no more Wed byes. We will probably hostthe 1st and 2nd rounds like last year. That means 4 teams playing in Scranton on Fri and the winners meeting in the 2nd rnd on Sat

kate · February 25, 2007, 08:53:12 AM

Thanks, guys - believe me when i say i will definitely miss all the Scranton posters (you too, Roy!). Whoever pairs with the Royals, if it's GMC, you have to BEAT em! Meantime, i certainly do hope that the Aggies come out of the gate in November really strong, and believe it or not, wouldn't mind a bit seeing an Aggie-Royal re-match. Now, just want to say, at least until the end of this current sport's season - GO MAC!!!

roy_a · February 25, 2007, 09:18:00 AM

Kate---A matchup of our teams will probably take place on occasion but I doubt it will be anything close to a regular event. Scranton is still a member of the MAC for the rest of the season so I am confused when you say go Mac but it seems as though you want GMC or some other team to beat Scranton?

RoyalGator · February 25, 2007, 10:22:28 AM

Saratoga,

I have been fortunate over the last few years with success at U of F (football and basketball titles, running for another basketball). As with the time at the UofS. I will be listening over the internet. But I think finally going to let the college life go at graduate once and for all...I think?

If the UofS are able to get to the final four, I will be in Springfield. Go Royals!!!
