MBB: Landmark Conference

[Augie2020]

Men played great last night against a very good athletic team in Eastern !Eastern will be hard to beat and should take the Macc.They truly have some nice players on that team even though they are from all over the country(not sure how a small college like that gets players from London,Miami,TX etc)? But down 23 they never quit.They kept coming in waves.The Royals had a great game also. Scranton showed they can play with the athletic&physical teams ,Danzing had 23(hope nothing serious about his ankle)Brunstein 22,Mc Donogh( tuff kid) Tahaj& Jon can play with anyone.I can honestly say best recruiting class for Carl and they help right off the bench.Really like EJ-Matthew's Spratey and Khoza.So great win against a very talented team also had a Fr that lead them in scoring Zubair Lee

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Royals shot off the charts. The athleticism was of note for both teams. Eastern not afraid to shoot from anywhere. Their composure hurt them in the game a bit. Will be interesting to see how the Royals match up if a team has an experienced big. Young guys playing, bit of depth off the bench, and players who started season nursing injuries coming back, a good problem to have! Hopefully winning games adds butts in the seats. Should be a fun team to watch come together and develop!

Prayers to Jessie Krasna (Pennsbury HS / Ursinus), his two young sons and the rest of his family and Jennifer's family. Jessie lost his wife a couple of days ago after she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Jennifer Krasna was just 30 years old. Jennifer was an amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, as well as amazing elementary school teacher. Jessie is a wonderful elementary school teacher as well as being the head boys basketball coach at Council Rock North.

Please keep the family in your prayers. May God Bless them and take wonderful care of Jennifer as she is certainly with Him in heaven.

Informal Landmark @ Centennial challenge tomorrow with Susquehanna @ Swarthmore, Drew @ Muhlenberg, and the Royals @ F&M.

Scranton the lone victor last night. I think the Diplomats only had 4 points with about 8 minutes left in the first half. They made it interesting as F & M clawed back , much like Eastern did.

Scranton has PSU-Harrisburg on Saturday, think that Assistant Coach Jeff Frank can provide some insight into his former team?

F&M was missing their best 3-pt shooter last nite and was the 5th worse foul-shooting team in the country;   both contributed to the Royals' win. Royals have to be more careful with their dribbling and passing; allowed F&M to get back into the game.
  Now 1 of 21 undefeated men's teams; could go undefeated in the non-conference schedule like they did a few years ago; that year, Scranton was the last team in the country to have a defeat by both the men's and women's teams.

Besides Scranton, I know that the men's/women's teams are also both undefeated at CNU and NYU.  Any others?

Doesn't look like any others; NYU men @ Roanoke tourney possible next loss for the group.

Who was F & M missing?

Good to see Mason Thompson back, I am sure he'll work his way into the lineup as the year goes on.

Khoza with back-to-back good games.

You can watch the game on a delayed basis from the F&M schedule video link; good multi-camera coverage that's closer to the action than that in the Long Center plus play-by-play commentary.
