MBB: Landmark Conference

[tpm4286]

Shout out to my boy Jonathan Garritt, Gouchers Saving Grace, chillin in Tampa with the elite of the MLB.

Hunter running away from the Royals in the second half...where is Luke Hawk?

[susiddad]

obviously a tough place to win @ f & m.  Again, I am perplexed at the lineup.  What is the norm here?  F & M has started 5 players all year with the exception of one game that Tolliver missed.  We have started almost everyone on the team. 

I know today isn't the season, but it hard to imagine freshman shooting the 30 times and winning that game.  Good effort though.  Hoopit?  Grove?

Luke Hawk will not be seen or heard from in a Royals uniform for at least 3 weeks...possible never again.
Once again, Scranton will be playing for 3rd. place in their own tourney. This team has some serious issues & they are at a crossroad as to whether or not they pull together & become competitive & play with purpose & some passion or they dial it in & call it a year.
This form of Royal basketball is inexcusable & its been getting worse instead of better. They very well could lose the consolation game this afternoon.

Saratoga, can you let us know the details regarding Luke Hawk?

[NEPAFAN]

Saratoga,


Thanks for the PM!

[saratoga]

No problem. Let's see what happens today.

its just simply, as it has been all season, inconsistency.  there have been few if any games where multiple players have had big nights.  last nite was wilson, today? we will see.  but most likely it will be someone else!  we can only hope 3 or 4 players have big nights!!

but all in all, for such a young team against a final four experienced team, SU held their own pretty well.   the game never got out of hand, was always right there for SU to make a run and the lead.  unfortunately that run didnt materialize and SU ran out of time. 

as ive mentioned before, playing all of these very good teams will truly help SU in the long run come conference play.  they know they can hang with, and beat (stockton), very good teams.  hopefully this confidence carries with them so starting next weekend, against lesser teams, they almost EXPECT to win and dont settle for less...

F&M may very well be an experienced team, but because of foul trouble they had 3 freshmen on the court at one time for a long stretch of the game. 
Beckford(30 minutes)
Driver(12 minutes)
Henry(28 minutes)

you see, thats the type of info the live stats does not reveal.

spenser spencer drops 37 points tonite against brooklyn.   good god!!

[Reserved Seat]

Spencer was hot.  Brooklyn put up little defense allowing Spencer to have numerous open threes.  He could have easily had more points if he hadn't given up some easy opportunities to allow his teammates to convert several easy shots.  One time on a breakaway he fed the ball to a teammate follow his play.  Spencer played a very unselfish game.

[Matt Letourneau]

Not only that, but his name is Spencer Spenser!

If you're going to go that route with the name, why not just go all the way and spell the first name the same as the last?

Been wondering that for the last year.

Carry on.

Congrats to Freshman Travis Farrell who was a bright spot in an otherwise gray weekend in Scranton.


26 points, 11 rebound, 7 assists in the consolation game and named to the all tourny team. A nice find for the Royals from a strong high school in Jersey.

All this Freshman talk scares me.  I have a feeling this is the year of USMMA with all their veteran experience with ease.

Maybe a couple of landmark fr. and so. have been leaving early to go to the draft and that is why there is so much youth in this league.
