Should we be talking about Final Fours before we get to a Pat League Championship game or a 1st round game. Lets have attainable goals.

I think the PL is going to be way down this year. At least down from the past couple of years.

LeMoyne and Iona?

Is this the year Navy, for the first time under Coach Amplo, wins at least ten games and at least gets to the title game of the conference tournament?

Not sure about that one they graduated a lot of their starters from last year,

It's a good thing when established programs want to help out the new teams but playing two new Division I teams might be overdoing the "grow the game" thing. I guess they figure playing JHU and Penn State gives enough heft to the out of conference schedule but it doesn't leave much margin for error if the Patriot League is a bit down (which could be true of every league that doesn't start with A and end in "CC").

Until the PL has 10 teams and splits in to two divisions, all that matters is winning the PL. This type of schedule is very similar to how Army has been, historically. With a couple/few OOC vs NJIT, Marist, Binghamton (when they were all middle/lower tier teams), with two higher end teams like Cuse and Rutgers. On a rare occasion, a team backs in like Navy in 16'.

IMO, the PL is is in their own, with so many teams, designated bye weeks...it limits schedule flexibility.

The PL is fine and still a strong league. Just been hand cuff the last few years due COVID rules grad students not on an even playing field. Expect the league to bounce back and be stronger than ever.

Believe it or not, I think Holy Cross is going to be much better and surprise some people in 2025.

Any observations on scrimmage yesterday with Penn for anyone who went?

[youthathletics]

Lost Braveheart to start the scrimmage (hit goalie in the facemask on a shot), did I mention we like to shoot at the goalie...on multiple occasions, missing some key players, shooting warm-up drills were different but many players were not taking it seriously (just going through the motions), Orsen still screams ---- alot, defense was solid as they adapt to the new OC's style...gonna take some time to learn how to play more freely. It was clear when UPenn moved the ball quickly and skipped we were caught up in the jet wash. UPenn defense was robust, especially in transition slowing breaks down, in settled they could sit down on us and force us to beat them....but when we challenged them, they seemed slow to slide...which was when we showed a bit more success.

It was clear the OC's implementations are a work in progress. Which BTW, is now our ~6th OC in 9 years, to include RS....maybe we are trying to be like the Commanders and their QB history; so frustrating for the MIDS to never have a 4 year player reap the benefit of the same OC. I am optimistic they team will adapt to his style, which is yet to be fully seen but one I certainly agree with and have advocated for well over a decade. I truly hope he has full reign of the offensive side and shreds the defense in practices until they adapt and get even better.

Having that many OC’s does stink, but I think the reason for that is we haven’t been able to get the head coach right. If we did, some of them would have wanted to stay.

[FMUBart]

OC excuses, really…this isn’t football. You need a couple guys that can dodge and shoot, or dodge and draw a slide and move the rock and get some off ball movement…everything else is window dressing to clear out slides.

John Wooden: Show me a good coach and I’ll show you good players…

[kevin343]

Scrimmage against Penn had some ups and downs. Missing key players and some casual warm-up vibes definitely affected the energy. But it’s good to hear the defense is adapting well to the new OC’s style.
