Integrity of the basketball program, or the university as a whole?  Your remarks, and I quote "The school had no integrity whatsoever" end of quote.  The school has had integrity for more than 150 years.

Here we go............at least we have stopped the landmark conference talk. I am glad people have finally come around to realize that the Head Coach made a mistake. Everyone knows Lincoln is a fine institution with a wonderful legacy...but can come nowhere near THE University of Scranton.

If the powers that be at the 150-yr old legacy fail to reprimand it's legendary "coach." then they have no integrity. So yes, as of right now, I mean the school has NO INTEGRITY!

Any news on the quickly vanishing MAC?  The once high and mighty seem to be losing some luster?  Its amazing that teams don't want to be apart of such a 'high level' athletic conference.  Without the Scranton "prestige" its just an average league. 
At least next year all the MAC fans can look forward to the heated rivalry between Arcadia and Kings.  Or maybe the double header featuring Manhattanvilles men and women VS. their nemesis from the Marts Center.\

Should be great times for everyone.  MAC forever.

The biggest problem I have with the situation is that they were still pressing when up by 100.  That's absolutely disgusting! 

Scranton still sucks!  (I think this will last much longer than this year)

If Lincoln reprimands (sp) the coach they most likely will do it behind closed doors and none of us will ever know.

What's the legacy of your alma mater?

Most likely denying admission to many of the distinguished alums of Lincoln had they chosen to apply to a MAC school fifty years ago.

wb1313: Again, a real classy comment...especially on the heels of Wilkes losing to DVC. Buy a clue for Christmas.

Sorry, what are you getting at? If you want to come out and call a MAC school a racist institution , come out and say it.

Saratoga...get your own set of jokes and then we'll talk.  Until then keep wearing purple loud and proud! 

Scranton still sucks!  (Every joke I can think of right now would probably get me banned from D3hoops and I really don't want to upset Pat and Warren if I can avoid it at all costs!)

Reserved Seat:

Thanks for taking the time to look at the box score.  I think the margin of victory was absurd also, but what do you tell the reserves to do, hand the ball over to the opponents, or throw it out of bounds on purpose?

For cold case to say "that school has no integrity whatsoever", are you referring to the institution, as a whole or the basketball program.  Do your homework, and find out about a school that has been around for more than 150 years, and has some rather outstanding alumni!  What's the legacy of your alma mater?

* There can be NO justification whatsoever for the total lack of class shown by Lincoln University! 

* Did anyone mention that the other team dressed only 6 players?

* The 5 Lincoln players who had played the fewest minutes so far this year (theoretically the 5 worst players) should have played the ENTIRE 2nd half. But no, that wasn't possible because Lincoln (Stinkin') U was ONLY up by 53 at the half! They had to outscore the other team by 70 in the 2nd half to really show whos boss.

* You tell your players to play hard, BUT-----
       ---Not to shoot ANY 3s
       ---Run the shot clock down to 10 before beginning to run a play

* The Lincoln head coach was nothing less than a COMPLETE ASS----! He should be
suspended by the University for AT LEAST one game for poor sportsmanship & lack of control over the basketball program.
The purpose of having one of the starters play the last 9 1/2 minutes was?

* As far as the guy who took 41 3s-------> I hope his frickin' arm falls off!

* The Lincoln basketball web site indicates "Discipline, Desire, Dedication."
More like LACK of discipline, Desire to KICK your opponent, Decication to LACK OF CLASS.

Stop being so sensitive, I know for a fact that some Eastern PA MAC schools and one NJ school did not admit black students until sometime in the sixties.  It is an undeniable fact about Colleges and Universities in the US both private and public.  Was the coach out of line allowing his star to go for the three point record, yes.  But would any of you be this outraged if it was your own Alma Mater doing this?  Probably some but many here would keep quiet.  This happened Saturday and people are condeming an institution because of the action of a few.

Yeah what about it? I saw your comments that we wouldn't be up in arms if it was Grinnel who won by 140 points...give me a break.  I hope no one schedules Lincoln next year.


Scranton won 71-49 over the College of New Jersey. I am sure it could have been much more .................

[wilburt]

Give me a break.  Nobody wants to schedule Lincoln now in D3 (cause they are "skurred") but next year you will get your wish when they go up to D2!
