MBB: Landmark Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

From what I have learned and gathered over the years they try and do this in every pod when reasonable. It isn't always possible due to the high number of teams from the northeast for example. The Mid-Atlantic tends to get enough to make it a challenge as well.

Teams around PA (Mid-Atlantic) that could host are Oswego State, Hartwick, William Paterson, Virginia Wesleyan, etc. And we could still talk about teams in the Great Lakes and Northeast.

The committee would like to make as diverse and evenly balanced a bracket they can using the guidelines from the NCAA (i.e. 500 miles, etc.). It comes from many different and varying reasons... but it is a good move and one I hope they can continue into the future.

F&M is home and Scranton goes to Driveby City formerly Bulletproofvestville.
I think I'd rather go to Lancaster.
Dave, you said in an earlier post (the last page) that "WE" can send a team to Texas.
We?
Please clarify.

Lucky you, F&M had the problem of getting there last year.  Good luck.

You can always go to the beach Saturday morning.  It wasn't very crowd last year, mostly F&M fans.

  Well, it's better than a trip to Va. Wesleyan. The NCAA has excused everyone from playing there(Hampton Roads tunnel traffic) on Friday night this year.
  Although I've seen the Messiah women play this year, but not the men, it looks like a winnable game for the Royals. Of course, recent NCAA foes Brandeis and Becker were also thought to be winnable.

One week at the beach is enough for these old bones,

As far as the Royals go "just win baby"!

I meant that as Division III... some how I said we.. but that is what happens when I post at 12:36 at night (see tonight's time) after two days of long Hoopsville shows and plenty of behind-the-scenes work as well - exhaustion.

What I basically was saying is that the NCAA isn't going to ship an MA school to Texas when they can easily bus then to other locations. They would rather spend the money to fly geographically isolated teams to places like Texas - as they did this year.

Don't feed the trolls Dave!

Don't feed the trolls Dave!

He's not which is why he doesn't answer you...

Is there an official d3hoops bracket filled out with predictions on the winners?

[Pat Coleman]

No, we don't go that granular to predict all 61 games.

[NEPAFAN]

Okay thanks, Pat!

All the very best to the Royals this weekend.
Some great seniors that have played here before & certainly appear ready for the challenge before them.
All the absolute best to Luke, Matt, Ed & Nick. Thanks for some great moments in Royal history.
