Freedom: The Conference of Champions Topic

Notes:

It is quite by coincidence that the predictions for the East are in the same order as last season. I didn't realize that until I posted. Lycoming, Fairleigh, and Kings are so closely matched I could easily put them in any order after Drew. The conference battle in the East is going to be very tough this season!!!

LOL! Thanks Al! I was just getting ready to post this also!

The conference finished 15-10 against Top 25. The West was actually 9-4.

In head to head match-ups between Capital and Freedom, Freedom won the series 6-4.

Conference play will be brutal!!!

Heading down the stretch we have 6 teams in position for a NT bid and 1 PIT. But we also have two teams who could easily make a push for the post season.

You have Drew 3 spots too high but, overall, good job!

Logic says you are right.  History says differnt, Al. But I did have a tough time choosing between  Delaware Valley and Drew for #3 in the East. .
6/19/2010 9:48 AM (edited)
Probably not to far off.  I'm hoping Roland can carry me a little higher than 5th, but its going to be a strugglte with 4 frosh playing at least 10minutes a game
6/20/2010 12:19 PM
The predictions were quite off for the West!  We do have 5 teams in a position to make the NT and 2 in position for the PIT.  the Conference Tournament will be wide open, but Kings is the team to beat!

This is the best balanced conference we've had in a long time.  It wouldn't be shocking to see any of the top 10 teams win the CT
