MBB: Landmark Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Agreed. He was pretty solid at times getting to the rim and making up for his struggles from deep in other areas of the game ... but it was surprising they couldn't seem to be on target from deep.

Tried to watch both the mens & women's games last evening.

In the mens game two plays stand out....

On two second half possessions, Susquehanna pressed the Royals on inbounds plays & the Royals threw it away both times.

The first led directly to a 3 pointer & the second to a layup.

Take those two sloppy plays away & it's a different ending.

All in all, a fairly typical Royals game we've all become used to in the last decade plus....close, but no cigar.

I think what hurt them last night and we talk about this alot the 3pt defense!Scranton 6-20 for 30% even though they shot 50% from the field that hurts.Then Susquehanna shoots a stellar 64% from 3pt range and 47% from the field.Sometimes you have to make them 3pt shots a little harder!

[NEPAFAN]

seems like they start slow out of the gate, yet again. I wasn't able to catch the game though....

[ronk]

 Every time the Royals caught up, Lacorte hit a contested 3-pter (8-12). Maybe, it wasn't contested enough or make him drive for a 2-pt shot.

[Rofrog]

Dave question:Bates beat Hamilton or is that a mistake?I noticed you corrected Nepafan but the score said Bates won?

[Rofrog]

Frankie not playing Scranton today !Unreal how he has his team ready to play Scranton!No-64% from 3 Susquehanna today!SMH

[saratoga]

Perhaps it's equal parts the other coach not having his team ready for Frank's kids strength's.

[NEPAFAN]

This weeks installment of guess the attendance...

A) 256
B) 2,556
C)25

If you went with A you are correct!

Thanks to the CUA Cards for beating Susquehanna and putting 3 teams in a tie for first place!

Didn't get to watch any of the game today, but very glad to see the teams' performance rewarded with a big win. They've really been playing better the past few weeks, but they just haven't been able to get enough buckets to win. Really amazed at the dramatic turnaround at the defensive end of the floor from the past few seasons. Coach Kelly and his staff have instilled a completely different attitude at that end of the floor since the start of the season and it's been fun to watch.

  If u have ROKU, u can watch any Landmark games on a delayed basis for a few days afterward. Cards made things interesting by going 6-14 FTs in final 1:15.

Scranton archives their games played at home.

Just go to "on demand' and search.

I think I've watched the 4th. quarter of the Lady Royals/Tufts Elite 8 game 50 times.

Trevor couldn't have drawn it up any better & the kids executed to perfection.

RIP Kobe.

Another of the greatest taken far too soon.

Watched it myself yesterday and it was almost as exciting as when we were there in person. How did none of those Tufts' shots fall?
  The archived videos go back to Jan 2019; I don't know if that's when they started archiving or if they only have capacity for a year's worth of video and will be rolling off the Tufts game soon.

[saratoga]

I feel the same way & as I said, even though I've watched it dozens of times, I'm still waiting for something to change.

Just notice how disciplined that comeback was.....

Tough man on defense, then layup, layup, 5 foot floater, set play for the 3 with a picture perfect screen by Sophia, then another layup then 4 free throws.

Not sure this team, as presently playing, could mount that same comeback even though it's essentially the same kids.
