The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) basketball tournament returned to Atlantic City this week. The Tournament started on Tuesday night with ten teams fighting for the conference Championship and an automatic qualifier for the NCAA Tournament.
A couple of years ago we got to witness the cinderella run by St. Peter’s who launched their March Madness run. In the men’s bracket, four teams remain for Friday Night's Semi-Finals: number one seed Quinnipiac plays #4 Iona at 6 pm and #2 Merrimack plays #6 Mount St. Mary’s at 8:30pm. Get yourself to Jim Whelen Boardwalk Hall to watch great college basketball this weekend!
The Locker Room with Billy Schweim will be broadcasting Live on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in for the St. Pat's 10 miler and 5K run raising money for charity in front of the Ocean Casino Resort on Saturday morning. With March Madness upon us, we welcome back my basketball Guru, Mike Carlin, for our 10 am to Noon show as we will take a look at all the conference tournament action.
The Philadelphia Eagles have seen three starting players from the defense depart the Birds Nest. With a total of six members of the Super Bowl 59 roster already gone, can the Eagles defense repeat the dominance after losing so many players from the Super Bowl winning team? We will debate that issue and a whole lot more this weekend on 973 ESPN Radio South Jersey.
The Phillies are 13 days away from starting the 2025 MLB season. I can’t wait for Phillies baseball; "Hopes Spring Eternal" during Spring Training and the Phillies have high hopes as this group of current players could be making their last run together. Does this team full of stars have enough in the tank to make a deep postseason run this year? We will discuss all that and more this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim.
On Saturday’s show, we will be broadcasting Live on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City in front of Ocean Casino Resort. Come out to join me, Josh Hennig, and the return of Mike Carlin to the show as we talk about all the hot topics of the week in sports. Mr Negadelphia P.J. Corda checks in at 11 am brought to you by the Galloway Pool Service. P.J gives us his unique perspective on Philly Sports. Then we will hear from ESPN’s Steve Lenox who is calling all the action at the MACC basketball tournament TV broadcasts at Boardwalk Hall.
On Sunday’s show, my Locker Room youth movement is back in studio with Producer Danny Ryan and "The Intern” Andrew Leeds talking the busy weekend in sports. The Eagles had several Eagles Fly away and we will take a closer look at the roster. Phillies, Flyers and the Sixers will round out the show. Finally we will get our “High School Athletes in the Spotlight” with Fran Mclaughlin brought to you by the Philly Pretzel Factory of EHT.
All that and more this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to Noon on 97.3 FM ESPN Radio South Jersey.
