Add Smyrna as number 10.5 could be in the top 10.

 

[8yaz]

I'd flip Howard and Penn.

Where are the downstate fans? There's not another downstate team that belongs on this list?

 

[realdealhoops]

I don't think the downstate fans believe in none of their teams. Above the canal ruled the state for 17 years now and currently counting.

@8yaz, I am from downstate & the only argument that could possibly be made is Smyrna in around 10 or so at 13-5 w/ a win over St. E's & a close loss to Concord by 6...they got Sallies this Friday. Dover would probably be the next up but not deserving of a Top 10 ranking at this time sitting @ 11-7. Dover went through a stretch in which they loss some very close games...they loss 5 out of 6 at one point by a total of 8 points. They have since won 5 straight though & will be a tough out for anybody come tournament time with all of the talent that they have.

8yaz-I will speak up for downstate

Dover should be in top 10 before Smyrna. Could be a dangerous team in the tournament.

 

[8yaz]

Thanks for being heard downstaters. The only downstate that I've seen is Poly, who appear to be legit.

 

[who_u_wit]

8yaz I agree Polytech is legit as they have lots of size and good guard play. Dover lost to them by 4 points and 1 point at home. If Dover could make free throws they could have beaten Polytech.

 

[Dropping 3's]

Gotta give WP credit. They're peaking at the right time!

 

[GateKeeperRefugee]

Penn's a sleeper team in this tournament. Size might not be ideal, but they're super-disciplined and they share the ball fairly well. We'll see how good they can be Friday (weather permitting) when they play Concord.

 

[realdealhoops]

I agree dropping3. WP is peaking at right time. Looking to spoil some teams hope.

 

[Dropping 3's]

Hope to catch the Concord WP game. Have yet to see Concord hoop this year. Should be a good test for WP.
