MBB: Skyline Conference

[Raptormania!]

Poly has a new coach with extensive NY high school ties, and a beautiful arena to attract players. They should be a worthy adversary in the Skyline.

ok so the season is over.....in terms of the skyline i know next year is one of change...what is the landscape of the league next year, who are the teams listed as skyline next year?

this would be helpful to me as well. noone has answered this post.


By the way, from what ive heard the Poly coach like Raptormania said has been hitting the recruiting trail hard. I am somewhat familiar with him as a coach, and as long as he sticks around (which would be the only issue) he will have them looking REALLY competitive and sneaking up on some people.

Apparently, after looking at schedules from Suny Farmingdale and Bard:

SUNY Farmingdale, Suny Maritime, Suny Old Westbury, Yeshiva, St Joseph's LI, Mt St Vincent, and Mt St Mary remain in the Skyline

Purchase, Polytechnic and Bard join the Skyline

That's 10 teams, or 18 league games if each team plays all 9 opponents twice.  Suny Farmindale's schedule shows an 18 league game season, but Bard's schedule shows only 17 league games (Mt St Mary only on the schedule one time, but they are schedule in the Hudson Valley Shootout tourney, which is probably the second league game

Centenary went to the Pennsylvania AC
King's Point went to the Landmark
Stevens went to the Empire 8
Manhattanville went to the MAC Freedom

I propose that from this point forward the Landmark Conference should be referred to as the Landshark conference.

I think there's another conference or two that has acted more like that than the LC has. Check the mad scramble after the Landmark's formation.

Hopefan, et al, here's some more on the changes:

My suggestion has nothing to do with that, just an old SNL reference.

 ???hellllllooooooo :-\where is everyone....lets get some posting in here.

[Raptormania!]

Well, the Bard Raptors have been undefeated for five consecutive months- but you know I'm not the type to brag.

[Raptormania!]

I see Bard on top, with no one else finishing higher than fourth. However, further scouting may revise that- it may well be that Bard finishes first, with no one else higher than sixth. I'll finalize my rankings prior to the start of the season.

Raptormania:

Good to have you on the boards again.  I enjoyed your Mets stuff this season.

[Raptormania!]

Thanks! But what are the Mets, really, if not a prelude to Bard basketball season? Wasn't 1969 merely an echo of the shock-the-world Raptor surge to the 2007 Skyline Conference Title?
I daresay that this is the year Bard finds victory, and the longstanding anti-Bard media bias comes to an end. ESPN would be a nice place for it to start- perhaps a trickle-down effect will follow if the Worldwide Leader comes through.

I was wondering if anyone knew if Sage had any plans to start men's basketball?  I think Russell Sage is in the Skyline for women's hoop and was curious if Sage would follow Regis and Wells and start men's basketball...Other than that, I would be curious on how the Skyline looks after all the moving around?  Who is the team to beat?

[Raptormania!]

My understanding is that Russell Sage is all women- making a men's team somewhat unlikely. Has this changed? Sage College of Albany is coed, but isn't it a separate entity?

As far as the team to beat, we both know the title discussion starts and ends in Annandale-on Hudson, NY.

Who is in the conference this season?  Wait did another team just leave?
