did anyone notice, by NOT having all the 3 first round games on the same day............the team that actually wins the 6/11 game actually gets 2 days off before playing #3 Saint Peter's................

I'm ok with that --- an incentive for finishing 6th instead of 7th or 8th. normal scenario, there is only 1 day off in the bracket...........but say #11 wins, they get rewarded with 2 days off to prepare for # 3? ...........and in a year where really teams can be somewhat on even terms (you know, anyone can beat anyone, never more true than this year), to me that seems like way too much an advantage, imho................

They still have to play an extra game just to get there. If you think about it 3 versus 6 is not much of a difference so it is a huge disadvantage to have to play the game against a reasonably tough 11 seed in the first place. That's no gimme. As we know this season is not normal and the maac is whack so gotta just go with the flow.

That follows the pattern of trying to give an advantage to the top 2 seeds by making it more difficult for the 3 seed.

Wow, great honors for Jordan King! Pickett still did enough to impress coaches around the league and get on the 1st team. Hopefully, Manny as POY is next.

No mention of Jackson Stormo at all? Not even among the "Rookie" group? I'm surprised, and not happily so. Pretty sure that he deserved better than that.

Dont think transfers qualify for the "rookie" team. I had Stormo in the to 20 players on my team, but they only allow 16 for the 3 teams, so he was close IMO.

Rider 78 - Canisius 76
Griffins had sizeable leads but Rider's guards and free throw shooting get the job done. Plays Saint Peters on Thursday.
Tuesday 3/8: Iona - Quinny 5 pm (winner plays Siena)
Fairfield - Manhattan 730 pm (winner plays Monmouth)
First/ Quarter games on ESPN+

Looks like Iowna is favored by 6 over Q. Since the Gals have been out of action for so long though it will be interesting how this plays out.
