MBB: Landmark Conference

[Rofrog]

Let's get back on track! Nice win Coach Danzig!Logan,Danzig etc the youngs look good!Mancuso fouled out as a senior you think he would learn!If Mancuso can stay in the game this team has a chance he needs to calm down and hopefully he does!

Didn't have a chance to see the games this weekend, but one thing that jumped out at me:  only 2 points from the bench yesterday.  You're not going to win many games with that.

[saratoga]

That's for sure.

They lost the bench points battle something like 21 or 22 to 2.

[NEPAFAN]

Have to play forty minutes. They ran out of time trying to dig out of a hole....

[saratoga]

Guess Top 10 votes are out of the question yet again? 

[NEPAFAN]

Wilkes is 4-0. They just bumped off our friend from Moravians new team Montclair State. Need a complete game tomorrow

[saratoga]

Let's see which version of the Royals shows up tonight.

The one with lots of potential if they play hard for 40 minutes or the one that reads a little too much into their press clippings.

Could be only the second time Wilkes has defeated the Royals in the past 15 years.

Old Izzy will have his charges ready...will Coach D?

As much as it pains me...

Wilkes 84/Scranton 72.

 At the half, the Royals r playing their best ball of the season, leading Wilkes 47-26. Mancuso has a double/double already and along with his sub FR Ryan Ems, the post players have 20 rebs. The defense is playing well helping each other and the 3-pt shooting is 50%.

[NEPAFAN]

Wilkes video went down for a while but is back up. Nice response from the Royals.

[saratoga]

Love to be so wrong when the Royals play that well.

if they can bottle that first half & use it as a training video, they'll be fine.

Great to see Matt play under control & not go for every head & ball fake thrown at him.

Wilkes was clearly going after him early to get him in foul trouble & he didn't allow that.

Great win all around...now if he can only start giving more minutes to the freshman Jack Lambert.

I mean he's only scored 1,700 points in high school, threw in 53 in a New York Final Four game last season & was named one of four New York Players of the Year.

Don't think there are any other guards on the team getting nice minutes with that pedigree.

[NEPAFAN]

can i give some kudos to the folks at NEPABASKETBALL.Com  ....somewhere to at least get quotes and stories on North East PA basketball, including high school and alumni at all levels of NCAA Basketball.

For example, this morning a story on Jackson Danzig moving off of the Point Guard position in favor of Kyle Deverna.

[saratoga]

Good point.

The Scranton Times won't show up until February & playoff time.

[Tim the Enchanter]

Congrats to Matt Mancuso on being named national DIII player of the week.

It's good to see him recognized after a monster game like he had on Saturday!

[NEPAFAN]

Yes, well deserved. A grind it out effort against Cabrini!

[NEPAFAN]

Totally out hustled tonight by York.
