I wonder if this year... there are no clear favorites in the conference. I know Lyco got votes and ended up in the preseason Top 25, but I couldn't vote for them. Too many question marks this year and from years past. I think the conference will be competitive and very deep as it always is (the MACC is one of the most competitive conferences in the country). I just don't think the top of the conference is as good as many expect and a three-team race may be more like a six team race.

Hard to get a gauge on this conference this year.

I think there is a pretty clear three team race on paper this year- Lyco, LVC, Albright. It's hard to imagine Lyco not repeating again but I wouldn't sleep on LVC- not that anyone is. Two potential All Americans (both All American talent) in Orr and Light. When you can shoot and have a dynamic two man game with SCORERS that could be a good recipe for you.

Stream of consciousness: I like Stevenson this year to surprise some and make a quick climb out of the basement. Messiah, another basement team had a nice win over Eastern Mennonite. New faces at Alvernia but I think they have enough for a playoff run for the 4/5 seed. Hood looks bad.

I agree that Leb Val could be a challenger to the preseason favorite Lycoming, but I'd expect the conference picture to be foggy until late in the season as there are many good teams to make a run for the conference championship. I'm hopeful Stevenson continues to play how they have since starting the season and find themselves in the hunt for the championship.
Go Mustangs!

The MACC is definitely a tough conference throughout, but I too don't see any one team being a legit final four team at the moment. I believe right now the conference is a four team race as Leb Val, Lycoming, Alveria, and Albright have all looked good so far. Others such as my Mustangs have played good so far, but I'm hesitant to play into the belief that they can make a run until I see how they do further into the season.
Go Mustangs!

How is Stevenson? Has anyone seen them? They went from being a really talented team to a big drop off. Are they back this year?

It has been hard to read at the moment. They have looked impressive, but the level of competition faced so far could be reason why they have looked good. I do like the D2 transfer, Daniel Wright, as he has been a scoring machine (23.6 avg.) for the team. Overall, I see a team that looks to challenge for the 4th/5th seed in the conference tournament. The ceiling could be higher if the team continues to show out against good conference opponents.
Go Mustangs!

Thanks. Seems like there could be several who could compete for that 5th spot at the least. I just still can't see anyone going to Lyco, should they host, beating them. Although possible!
