@Ithaca_MBB got a great road win @SkidmoreSID to open up their season. Another big road test tonight @ Scranton

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

Slow start for Hartwick who is expected to be a high scoring group.

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

The Stevens backcourt of Klimchak and Barron was outstanding. Great perimeter weapons. Need a bit more front court help to succeed

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

Lott, Ryan, and Tyler Hart all had impressive starts for @FisherAthletics who is my pick to repeat as Conf champs.

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

As expected my pre season Conf MVP @MitchFord33 has put up big time numbers thus far. All american type numbers tbh

My Personal Preseason Accolade Predictions.. E8 champs: @FisherAthletics Runner up: @NazAthletics Tourney MVP: Chaz Lott POY: @MitchFord33

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

@Tyler_Seelman (Alfred) With Walsh gone, will take on even Bigger scoring role. Great 3 pt shooter, crafty, finds ways to get shot off.

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

Moe Mills: (Naz) Him and Ford will cause nightmares for other front courts. Active, great rebounder, quick for big, good offensive skill set

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

Jonathan Stowe: (houghton) Showed a ton of potential at times last year. Good athlete, good motor, and solid touch around rim.

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

@realklimshady (Stev) Coming off injury.. Looks to lead an inexperienced Stevens. Can really shoot it, good floor general and knows system.

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

@uncledrew44 Physical beast. Keegan is a walking double-double. Good hands, paired w/ good footwork, soft touch. Nice dup of him and Lott.

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

Chaz Lott: (SJF) Best guard in Conf. Veteran, gets teammates involved. Will flirt w/ some triple doubles this year. Scoring #'s will be up

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

@JoeyLufkin (Hwick) expect high teens in pts this year. Great penetrator, good range on 3, underrated passer. Consistency on jumper just ok

[Empire8Basketball @E8HoopsBlog]

@marcchasin : (Ithaca) Earned R.O.Y last year. Bigger guard w/ great finishing ability. Can get hot from three and score in bunches.
