GONE FISHINI don't plan on doing much blogging this year. But you already knew that. Chris at Hoop Time is putting us all to shame with his excellent work lately. Also, if you pay for Basketball U's stupid service, you are an idiot. Wow, a list of links to news articles about the Patriot League. Google News alerts are basically the same thing. Give your money to charity (or better yet, Hoop Time) instead. At least Chris does it because he likes it, not because he's trying to turn a profit.
Even though I'm on about a year long hiatus, here's my predictions for the 2007 final standings:
1) AU - I'm going back to partisanship. AU is too old and too deep to not finally get it done for your PL blogger.
2) Holy Cross - Because they can still play D
3) Bucknell - McNaughton gets exposed without the wing play he had last year
4) Navy - I am a Billy Lange Believer
5) Lehigh - Unless Olivero scores 30 a night, who is going to get it done?
6) Colgate - The best PL team in NY! How long will Emmett Davis be allowed to field sub-.500 teams? Probably until Hell freezes over or Hamilton, NY melts.
7) Army - This is your last chance to watch Matt B in action. Matt Bell that is. If he's healthy, they could move up to #6.
8) Lafayette - Should have gone to DIII.
