MBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

 And that was a gift since Ursinus(the higher seed) didn't put in to host; there was an earlier round game that same year that the men hosted(Buffalo St?).

We are all over-reacting, right ?

 Just setting the milieu - no action implied.

So lets look back on the last 21 years of Coach Carl Danzing:So out of those 21 years he has made it to the Ncaa tournament 10 times out of those 10 apperance 6 apperances he was knocked out in the 1st Rd,twice his team went  to the 2nd rd,1 apperance in the sweet 16 and 1time Elite 8 and 11 times missed the Tournament all together.So when it comes to not hosting the story is right in front of you why Scranton men have not hosted in 19 years!As for the Lady Royals hosting 8 times in a row maybe because it is a winning program.That is why I do not  believe that the school (AD)is happy about this program just competing and make the Landmark Tournament.

Congratulations to Frauenheim, Martin and the SU coaching staff on their Landmark conference awards.  Best of luck against Rowan, and may you represent the conference well!

Congrats, too, to Braunstein and Danzig for being all Landmark Selections, and especially to Will McLauhglin on his well-deserved ROY award.  With him and the rest of Scranton's freshman class, there is much potential for the future in the Long Center!

[ronk]

 Amen

Tim:
I'd love to believe that about the Royals future looking bright etc. but I've seen this show too many times when everything was supposed to come together & it simply never materialized.
Congrats to Will as ROY & the other kids recognized but I'm just not seeing them all that better next year.
I mean this team wasn't even in the Landmark playoffs for heavens sake.
Think about that for a moment...with the history & resources of Scranton he couldn't get them as much as a fourth place conference finish?
When there was no league title or NCAA trip with Mancuso, DeVerna, Logan, his son & some of the other kids...it became far too apparent that they will never win the big games needed to reach the next level.
Wait till next year, we're young...nothing but words we've all heard far too often.

 Looks the new Royal is Matt Hanley of Msgr Farrell(NY) 6-5

 Congrats to Jackson Danzig selection to All-Region 2nd team.

Nothing posted on Scranton men's twitter page yet, but Luca Baratta (6'2" G out of Perkiomen School) has committed to the U:

And here's the Scrantonbball tweet, ostensibly about Baratta.

Interesting tweet from former Scranton Royals SID

I obviously don't work at Scranton anymore but I bet a solid someone in this area thinks the Royals should make the D1 jump now that St. Peter's has made the Sweet 16

The U went through the whole study process in the late 90s and balked because of the price tag to pull it off. Can't even imagine what that would be now.

These are the same folks that are waiting for Scranton football, which will also never happen!

Womp Womp!

Womp Womp!

I'm totally cool with D3 and I don't think The U needs football - but I would like to see them invest more in marketing, recruiting and student / alumni engagement. A nicer indoor fieldhouse would be cool too. Also, maybe D1 bowling, hockey and wrestling?

You can't go D1 in select sports. It is all or nothing. We seem to be doing better in athletics across the board...
