MBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

Scranton exploded in the second half... I said to someone, it was like they finally woke up! Unreal watching that game progress.

Yes, Scranton had 5 turnovers and 1 shot in the first 2 1/2 mins of the 2nd half, then went from down 11 to winning by 11; a very schizo performance. It encapsulates the season, although they've won 7 of 8 since their most athletic player, Matt Mancuso, returned to action.
  Riley Collins for Drew looks like a good player; they could use some frontcourt help, though.

After another week of conference action:

Congrats to Scranton on winning 2500th(combined with women's victories) game today

Drew  7-1
Scranton  6-2
Catholic,Juniata,Moravian  5-3

Since this is the de facto Scranton board (vs. Landmark Conference board).......................the board's fans will be quite thriiled!!

 As evidence that this board isn't exclusively Scranton, I will say that there was a story last week concerning Steve Howes becoming the winningest Catholic U men's basketball coach and some highlights from his career. http://www.cuacardinals.com/sports/mbkb/2017-18/releases/20180123hi1mlc
Congrats to Steve! - I coached him in youth baseball 30 years ago.

way to jinx the royals boys...

[ronk]

 Moravian's play had more to do with it. 

[saratoga]

The Royals had another 20 turnovers today at home while Juniata had 6.

Royals lose by 3...think their incessant putrid care of the ball had anything to do with the outcome?

So much for senior leadership.

Stick a fork in them, this version of Royal basketball is done!
