Emory has posted their 2018-2019 schedule.

No Division I exhibitions, but they do have Maryville (TN) again along with Randolph-Macon and East Texas Baptist.

Randolph-Macon had a decent season in 17-18 (18-8) and will have a pretty experienced team this coming season. But they have been inconsistent in recent years. Should be a good game, though likely a W for Emory.

Emory loses four key seniors, but I do still think they are going to be very good this year relative to the league.  This should be a good test.

It will be interesting to see who the fourth game is, but definitely a good tournament.

Did you do your drive around the United States yet?  And, if not, is there a way to follow the fun online?

R-MC only had one senior last season. This season's senior class is solid -- five of the six saw plenty of minutes as juniors. So maybe they have a better shot than I first thought. I don't think they saw a player like Romin Williams, though.

It is true that Romin Williams can take over a game and he has proven that against good teams.  Chicago knows that all too well.

I tried to speculate on how the league would play out before the newcomers were announced and this is what I said about Emory (see below).  It is interesting to look at that again.  Arguably only 3-4 clearly established proven performers.

It is too early to revisit this, but with the incoming recruits for Washington University and Chicago and thinking more about the experience of Rochester, I am not sure that anyone will be a favorite to win this league.


Emory

The sophomore class is going to pay big dividends for Coach Zimmerman for the next three seasons.  Bank on it.  There will be little margin for error so key to the league championship may be a road win in Rochester to begin league play.

1. Gebereal Baitey (Sr, 29 mpg), Nick Stuck (So)
2. Romin Williams (So, 22 mpg), Clay Washburn (So)
3. Beau Bommarito (Sr, 26 mpg)
4. Lawrence Rowley (So)
5. Matt Davet (So, 13 mpg)

Maybe if his shoes are more comfortable, their coach will be in a better mood on the sidelines this season. . . .

That makes twice now that Deadspin has inaccurately reported that Meehan took Brandeis to the Final Four.

I assume it was a mistake because the leads on Deadspin and on Deadspin social media do not play up the supposed Final Four as they might have.  And, it is an interesting mistake in this latest report because the report clearly mentions the Elite Eight campaign.

I did read the entire 25 page report and the only thing I'll say I still feel bad for the Meehan brothers who, though not blamed, are portrayed as part of the problem.  I obviously have no idea what having the Meehans on the team was like day to day, but Nate Meehan was a pretty good basketball player and the younger Meehan rarely ever played.

Interesting observation regarding the brothers... +1

As I figured, the AD is being replaced. I suspect maybe this was known when they opened up the head coaching position late this summer (still not filled best I can tell). I wish I could get more info, but my New England brethren like to keep things close to the vest, it would appear. LOL

Thanks! I read my previous post and I should clarify further by saying that the report portrayed favoritism towards the brothers as a concern.  I wish I had used that word.  Otherwise, as I was trying to say, that was not necessarily evident from the outside.  I do feel for those guys.

It looks like Brandeis is planning to have a new head coach ready to go by the time basketball season rolls around: http://brandeishoot.com/2018/09/14/brandeis-searches-for-a-new-head-basketball-coach/
