E8 preview. No poll.

[CNU85]

Doesn't look like the C2C will put out a preseason poll or preview. Which seems logical since there isn't a full conference schedule.

I wonder how long this C2C thing will survive.

[Gregory Sager]

As long as it serves a purpose; i.e., as long as the otherwise-independent schools need it, and as long as the NCAA's rules give the C2C autobids.

As long as it serves a purpose; i.e., as long as the otherwise-independent schools need it, and as long as the NCAA's rules give the C2C autobids.

It's essentially a defacto Pool B at this point.  So long as CNU remains nationally competitive and doesn't lose in the conference tournament, it doesn't hurt anything.

What are the chances of the NECC schools joining the C2C once the grace period ends?

What are the chances of the NECC schools joining the C2C once the grace period ends?

It's possible, for sure.  I'm not sure that's a first choice for any of them, though.  We'll see some shakeups next summer, just not sure how or where yet.

Susquehanna, Drew, Scranton, Catholic should be in the top half of the league if I had to guess.

 Since Drew's Lybrant Robinson and Malachi Walker are returning for a 5th year, I'll have to make them the favorite; wasn't thinking that was happening originally. Ryan Ems incorrectly listed as a senior in the preseason writeup.
