Good morning. Chat will kick off shortly after noon. You can post your comments and questions now.

12:02

Good afternoon, time to start today's chat.

12:03

If you have a question or comment about Berks basketball or the District 3 playoffs, now's the time

12:04

Lots to talk about today, especially the big game, tonight at the Geigle

Wilson vs Reading High, Round II

Should be a good one; Red Knights playing much better now than three weeks ago when they first met

12:05

And the Bulldogs are coming off their first loss

Now, if only the badweather can hold off until maybe 10 or so

Mike what is the current Wilson/Reading line for tonight? I have the Bulldogs in a laugher.

Mike Drago

12:06

Don't bet your mother in law's mortgage payment on it

Colin

12:06

What are you thoughts on Antietam after the Kutztown game?

Mike Drago

12:06

Young, talented, dangerous; can take out a good team on a good night

But, they've got to play with a little more poise

12:07

Faced a tough environment in Kutztown, and the first time they fell behind on the road

They'll learn from it and get better. And they'll make an impact in the postseason.

How do you see division 3 playing out with the 3 way tie?

Mike Drago

12:07

I said it before the season, and I'll stick by it, I still see a tie for first after 10 league games

12:08

Not much separates Brandywine, Kutztown and Antietam, and Schuylkill Valley's not far behind

It's a great race, and great to see; Division III hasn't been much to watch in recent years

Josh

12:08

Will Reading’s height get the best of Wilson?

Mike Drago

12:09

Bulldogs are used to playing against bigger guys, and Reading's height advantage isn't tremendous

It's a great match-up however you slice it

John

12:09

Were you suprised Wilson lost to Muhls

Mike Drago

12:09

Well, they were 13-0, and the Muhls had lost three straight

So I'd be lying if I said no

The better question is: Was I shocked?

Answer: No.

12:10

Muhlenberg's a dangerous team when it gets on a roll and starts knocking down shots

You put up 70 on any Wilson team, you're a dangerous team

Matt

12:11

I know its a long shot but if the Muhls would win out in BERKS 1 wouldn't they be the Division champ based off of a sweep of Wilson and a higher Power Rating than Reading

Mike Drago

12:11

Interesting scenario, Matt

Yes, I believe head-to-head is the first tiebreaker for a two-way tie; not sure if that applies in a three-way tie. I'll have to look into that.

Muhlenberg jacks threes like it’s their job. Are they getting quality looks Mike or just chucking whenever they want?

Mike Drago

12:12

They're taking shots they can make; they're not just throwing it up there.

And the tough thing is, they've got four or five different legit threats from 3-point range.

Now, they're not all on every night, and some games recently none have been on. They would've beaten Warwick Saturday had they shot more consistently over the first three quarters

12:13

I can tell you this: The Muhls are a team other coaches don't want to play.

Brad

12:13

Exeter and Muhlenberg seem to be two teams that can compete on any given night, and can also come out and look flat. Muhlenberg beat Wilson and Exeter hung with reading then beat the Muhls... how do you see division one playing out in terms of county playoffs

Mike Drago

12:13

Ask me tonight around 10 o'clock

I'll have a much better idea
