MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

Eh, was half watching. Seemed like a lot of fouls called though.

Holden tweeted that there were more fans at the CUA game than the Wizards game!

Why are you guys reading this message board instead of playing this game?

Go play it now!

Third day in a row I watched some D3hoops live video. This time it was F&M vs. Ursinus.


Malik Draper from Scranton is athletic and legit. Would have looked good in Purple.

F&M is good. Especially the forward with the long name.

I am going to try and have a life tonight so I don't think I will be watching 4 nights in a row.

  NEPA,
      Take a break but remember the conference opener and Wall of Fame ceremony tomorrow afternoon

[ronk]

  With the new scheduling format starting tomorrow(no longer playing your former travel partner), the most interesting matchup is Juniata-Moravian. I expect the Greyhounds to prevail, but Juniata can show how much of a playoff contender they'll be.

[NEPAFAN]

Ronk,

I'll take Juniata (-3). And yes I will be watching today at 4pm.

I caught part of the second half on WQSU as I left the 'grove tonight. NEPAFAN, would love to hear your observations.

[NEPAFAN]

Grove,


Good conference game. SU has a good freshman forward who was scoring with ease. He should be in some battles with Scranton's Freshman Boken in the future. SU was pretty hot and hitting everything early. They also mentioned on the broadcast that one of SU players was still on the roster but studying abroad this semester (interesting). Sorry, but I am blanking on names this evening.

They also mentioned that SU has had trouble at the foul line but they looked good today.


Hope all is well.

 Harley Sellinger(6-6) studying in Spain. Local guy Brandon Hedley looks like a factor in the Crusaders' backcourt.

About the Royals: Are the non-playing frosh being brought along very slowwwwwwly or are they all on the injured list? It was mentioned on the videocast that Tommy Morgan hurt his other hand/wrist in his brief return Tuesday after missing all the previous games with a wrist injury.

[TheGrove]

Not surprising that there's a player abroad. Susquehanna instituted a study abroad/away requirement a couple years ago (the Global Opportunities - aka GO Program). There are some "GO Short" options over summer/spring/winter breaks, but they are limited. Some majors also require a semester abroad. This hits all our teams - I know at least one female swimmer abroad right now as well.

Goucher has a similar program initiated a few years ago. Thus why their January term is actually far longer than when I was a student.

Curious to Cold Case's take on the latest rankings.


Have the Royals ever been ranked this high?

[ronk]

 Possibly, after they beat Ursinus in a sweet 16 NCAA game in 2003.

[saratoga]

Although the current ranking is nice, the season is still young my friends.
The rankings to get really excited about are the NCAA Regional ones.
They will eventually determine who gets to host & who's on the road.
Lots of basketball between now & then.

they shouldve been ranked this high at the end of last season!
