1st round Playoff Predictions?

[midstatesports]

Glasgow Vs. Newark Charter: Glasgow will win just to athletic and big for Newark Charter who had a really week schedule.
ST. Es Vs Newark: St. Es will win to me, to much talent compared to Newark, newark doesn't have great team this year but this game could be interesting.
Caesar Rodney Vs Appo: CR will win, way more talented than Appo blew them out in regular season, could be one of my sleeper teams and could possibly upset Penn in 2nd round.
Lake Forest Vs. Christiana: Lake Forest will win, Christiana is horrible can't see Lake loosing.
Dover Vs. Friends: Dover will win way to athletic and fast for Friends, could also upset Sallies.
Red Lion Vs. St.Marks: St. Marks, one of the best matchups in 1st round just think St. Marks defense will hurt Red Lion but could go both ways.
Woodbridge VS. Indian River: Woodbridge, IR is horrible.
Mount Vs. STM: would be good game but Mount Experience will win the game.

THANK YOU. Let's get back to talking about basketball please!

I think your picks are pretty solid. The one pick I question is Dover over Friends. I saw Dover lose at Newark on Wednesday. Wasn't impressed by either one of those teams. But I don't know anything about Friends other than what their schedule says - for the most part they beat lousy teams and lose to the decent ones. Makes this game a coin toss for me.

 

[GateKeeperRefugee]

Wouldn't surprise me if the 23rd and 24th seeds (St. Mark's and Newark) won, but the rest of the first round should go to the higher seeds.

 

[_TK44]

I was thinking the same about St.marks & Newark..

Lake Beats Christiana @Home Then Wins On The Road Against Caravel Lmao

 

[_TK44]

Lake Beats Christiana @Home Then Wins On Tge Road Against Caravel

Sounds about right

 

[midstatesports]

can't see that happening.

 

[_TK44]

We will see! Lake is my sleeper in the tourney, can’t see them winning it all but I can see them making it to the bob

 

[midstatesports]

will be a good game but can't see them stopping a hot caravel team rn both teams r hot tho.

 

[Hoopsdownstate2]

Lake Beats Christiana @Home Then Wins On The Road Against Caravel Lmao

Not funny that definely can happen easily...

 

[Roddav3557]

St. Elizabeth over Newark (St. E's upsets St. G if defends Bones well)

St. Marks over Red Lion (Sanford over St. Marks)

Mt. Pleasant over St. Thomas (Mt. Pleasant upsets Sussex Tech)

Lake over Christiana (Caravel and Lake toss up...going with Hoskins & Lake)

CR over Appo (CR upsets William Penn)

Woodbridge over Indian River (Smyrna over Woodbridge again)

Dover over Wilmington Friends (Dover upsets Sallies in OT)

Glasgow over Newark Charter (Glasgow upsets Cape if they defend Robertson well and Rickards is not playing)

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

Salesianum home court advantage did them no good last year against Caravel.....

 

[jvm3]

MTP over Sussex Tech? That would be a big upset. Don’t think I see that one.

Didn't IR sweep Woodbridge in the regular season?

 

[bluecat4ever]

Didn't IR sweep Woodbridge in the regular season?

IR's stocked with a bunch of kids who are the sons of players from IR's amazing teams of the early '90s. Also, I feel like BJ will find a way to win it.

 

[Hoopsdownstate2]

I

St. Elizabeth over Newark (St. E's upsets St. G if defends Bones well)

St. Marks over Red Lion (Sanford over St. Marks)

Mt. Pleasant over St. Thomas (Mt. Pleasant upsets Sussex Tech)

Lake over Christiana (Caravel and Lake toss up...going with Hoskins & Lake)

CR over Appo (CR upsets William Penn)

Woodbridge over Indian River (Smyrna over Woodbridge again)

Dover over Wilmington Friends (Dover upsets Sallies in OT)

Glasgow over Newark Charter (Glasgow upsets Cape if they defend Robertson well and Rickards is not playing)

Robertson and Chandler be enough to handle Glasgow easily please.. Give Cape a little respect..Glasgow nowhere like that...smh

 

[Hoopsdownstate2]

Didn't IR sweep Woodbridge in the regular season?

No they split....

 

[Hoopsdownstate2]

MTP over Sussex Tech? That would be a big upset. Don’t think I see that one.

Sussex Tech will handle Mount..

 

[8yaz]

Sussex Tech will handle Mount..

After what I saw from Mount today, I agree.

I got a Chick-fil-A sandwich at this game on Dover & I love gambling!!!

 

[J12]

I like Lake to beat the hell outta Christiana (who I think is the worst team the tournament) & also beat Caravel & march on to the Bob.

 

[datruthv]

I got Lake going to the Bob myself Lake is playing A lot better than they was the first meeting my upset is CR over Penn

 

[_TK44]

I could see this too, CR will be tough

 

[GateKeeperRefugee]

Thought about this earlier today - this is probably the last time Christiana, Glasgow and Newark are ALL in the tournament together. Up until about 15 years ago, that was a foregone conclusion. Times have changed.

 

[Tru_basketballfan]

Are the quarterfinal games at the bob?

Wow. Hadn't thought of that. Times have changed.

 

[_TK44]

Are the quarterfinal games at the bob?

Yes

 

[DoItWrite]

Are the quarterfinal games at the bob?

Yes, but there are two sessions. First two games are at noon and 1:45 or so. Bob will be cleared, and second set of games are at 6 and about 7:45.

 

[8yaz]

When do tickets go on sale for the semi-finals?

 

[DDBasketballCoach]

I think...
Newark Charter takes down Glasgow (Winner loses to Cape)
Newark gives St E's a run but St E's holds on (I think winner beats St. Georges)
CR beats Appo (WM Penn beats CR)
Lake destroys Christiana (Lake if they show up beats Caravel but think travel costs them)
Dover beats Friends (Dover gives Sallies a run, think Sallies is too disciplined and wins)
St Marks upsets Red Lion (Sanford dominates St. Marks)
Woodbridges breaks the split and defeats IR (Smyrna handles Woodbridge once again)
Mount beats STMA in OT. (Sussex Tech over guards Mount and wins)

 

[debballguy]

I think that St. Marks will handle Red Lion and with their defense they can hold Sanford to high 30s but not sure how well they will be able to score on Sanford, can possibly be a very close game.

 

[_TK44]

In the quarters I have Cape over St.Gs
Penn over Lake
Sanford Over Sallies
Tech over Smyrna

Then Cape over Penn
Tech over Sanford

Tech ove Cape for the chip

 

[Dhodgecuz]

Cape Will Lose To StG

 

[_TK44]

Cape Will Lose To StG

Idk about that

 

[hoopsupstate]

In the quarters I have Cape over St.Gs
Penn over Lake
Sanford Over Sallies
Tech over Smyrna

Then Cape over Penn
Tech over Sanford

Tech ove Cape for the chip

I've noticed it says KaneTrain at the bottom of your writing. I'm pretty sure there is a Kane on Sussex Tech. I understand why you have Tech winning

 

[DDBasketballCoach]

He's the older brother. but still Tech will be a tough out

 

[hoopsupstate]

He's the older brother. but still Tech will be a tough out

Oh ok and yea agreed.

 

[_TK44]

Yea, I’m the oldest lol I’ve been high on Tech all year I really think they have a shot, especially if they can knock Smyrna off which will be a tough task! Their only loses to Cape and Smyrna beat WP, Sallies....if they knock Smyrna off I think they will be there. With that being said I also feel like they have the toughest road to the chip. Mount isn’t gonna lay down, of course Smyrna, then Sanford....Tough!!

I wouldn't make any assumptions about Sanford making it to the semis tho...

 

[GateKeeperRefugee]

St. Mark's could trip Sanford up, but it's unlikely. Woodbridge? Can't see them beating Sanford.
