MBB: Skyline Conference

[Raptormania!]

Did it ever occur to you, Rhodes, that Albany Pharmacy might be 11 times better?

I'll get to see Poly on January 24-unfortunately for them, in a loss to Bard. But I'm looking forward to seeing how they stack up to the lesser teams in the Skyline!

Raptormania: It actually did occur to me that Albany Pharmacy might have improved this year over previous years. But a perusal of their results quickly disabused me of that notion.

has anyone checked out Polytechnic University? Yeah they aren't great as of yet. But they are ten times better than any teams they have had in the past. And they have a young, exciting team. Two impressive players to note are Arjun Ohri ( # 13) , a 6'3 versataile swingman who can do it all. Also, Anthony Mottola ( # 33). A 6'3 power forward. Mottola posses unique strength and speed for his position, he is able to overpower anyone who attempts to guard him, and is usually quicker than those who try as well. Mottola is a unique matchup problem and an impressive prospect
  Has anyone else seen Polytech play yet?

I haven't seen Polytechnic play this year, but from looking over the team's results it doesn't appear that this year's team is "ten times better than any teams they have had in the past." A nine-point loss to lowly Albany Pharmacy is a fair indication that the Jays might not be much improved over previous years.

Polytech is playing under a new a system under a first year coach and a team full of freshman. They are gonnna go through some growing pains, but may knock off some of the powerhouses along the way. They will be a force in the coming years tho. This year, the conference is gonnna come down to old westbury and st joe's-LI (sorry raptormania, bard aint there yet.) St Joe's may have an all-american in David Acree.

Yes, they are a very young team and as I mentioned before, Ohri and Mottola are both freshmen who could be a great 1-2 punch. Does anyone agree?

[Rhodes Scholar]

D3HOOPSCOOP: Is there any particular reason you don't consider Farmingdale State to be one of the best teams in the Skyline? The Rams were the preseason favorite and have been solid in recent years. Mt. St. Mary is also 4-1 in conference play but their in-conference schedule has been soft up to this point. Plus, the conference is weaker than last year because of the defections of Stevens and Manhattanville.

[D3HOOPSCOOP]

I merely stated that Polytech had a young exciting team, with intriguing prospects in Ohri and Mottola, never said anything about whos gonna win what.
?
have you seen poly play?

D3HOOPSCOOP: I thought the entire post on 12/22 was your own. Upon further inspection, you were quoting CityD3 in the first paragraph. Therefore, the question should have been directed to him.

I haven't seen Poly play this year. I may see them down the road. Can't say for sure yet.

You're right i forgot to mention mount st mary's. however i think farmingdale is the the fourth best team in the league right now. They already lost to old westbury albeit in double overtime. and like i said i dothink st. joe's is the best team in the league, but not be a wide margin.

Where's raptormania? thats a pretty good win for bard against green mountain....i know they are only an independent but the kid hammond is a monster

[Raptormania!]

I mentioned it here when it happened. Bard dominated them, but Hammond is a fantastic player.

As for where Raptormania! is, a pantheistic view is most accurate. Raptormania! is everywhere, it is always with you. It is in your hearts, in your minds, and in your breakfast cereal.

Bard dominated who, their 0-5 in the Skyline, or as some could say these days....the Junior Skyline Conference. Maritime, is 4-2, that should say it all, that might be the first conference wins they have had since the days of the IAC.
