With our basketball history going way back we should be in the A10.

While we're struggling vs. CCSU, Bucknell (down by 6 at the half) just knocked off Penn St in College Park, 76-67

AU blows a 20-point lead at home, and loses to #358 St. Francis. I don’t have anything intelligent to say about it. We stink right now.

Collectively, this has to be as bad as the PL has been evah, no? Since the league went to 10 schools anyway.

Colgate blown out in the second half vs Arizona. BU did pick up a nice win over Sacred Heart (in addition to the Bucknell win).
Certainly the worst in the schollie age.

So, you all are saying the Crusaders have a chance in the PL as we’ve help bring down the league quality over the last 5 years or so. If you can’t get better, hang with lousy teams.
(If you want to look taller, hang around with short people!😂)

(If you want to look taller, hang around with short people!😂) I was thinking the same thing. Your phrase at the end is a kinder way of saying something that probably wouldn’t be viewed as being pc today.

Well, visits to my doctor prove that I am shrinking every day. When Coach Chesney told me that I am taller than him (I am not, he was just being polite), I told him that when I was his age I WAS taller than him but not now. 😂

7 of Ken Pomeroy’s bottom 66 teams are in the Patriot League.

Yeah, I know and I knew it when I wrote it but I liked how it sounded better. And I was not an English major (you weren't either, if I recall) but a history major. Feel free to take off points. I'm leaving it as is! Edit: too much non-related stuff. Deleted 2 paragraphs of personal nonsense.🤷♂️

It’s time for a serious league-wide meeting to decide if this embarrassment of a D.1 conference can continue as it is - I am worried that this affiliation that HC finds itself in will bring us down to the absolute bottom of D.1 with no escape hatch

The "escape hatch" is to win. BC has shown that with the right coach it is possible.

At least partly due to their games vs the PL

Many high quality losses among those 28 - the gap between Ivy and PL narrowed for football this season but it’s really expanding for bball

The first NET rankings were released today. There are 362 teams. Seven of the ten Patriot League schools are in the bottom quarter with six having rankings in the 300's. Given roughly 2/3 of the remaining games will be against other league members, the rankings for the conference are not likely to get appreciably better. #136 Colgate #202 Boston U #266 Bucknell #295 Navy #311 Lehigh #321 Loyola-MD #327 American #331 Lafayette #347 Holy Cross #354 Army Link: www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

We could see a two-bid Ivy this year. If Princeton enters the Ivy League tournament with only a couple of losses and were to lose in the Ivy League tournament, they'll have a case for an at large. The Ivy, by the way, is ranked as the 12th conference by Pomeroy.

If we go 0-2 with the top 4 teams, 1-1 with the next 4, and 2-0 with Army, we would be 6-12 in the PL.
Hoping for better but probably a pretty realistic estimate.

I doubt HC will go 0-8 vs those top four. Except for Colgate, the rest are certainly winnable games, especially at home.
