MBB: Landmark Conference

[Great Day to be a Royal]

As I am often a defender of the program compared to where other programs are locally and nationally, I feel this stretch has broken me. It truly is the same few ways of being out played, disciplined, and most of all coached game in, game out. All of the points in the previous posts cover it the perfectly. They are not disciplined, they turn it over way too much, rebounding is foreign language. Their best shooter didn't/ couldn't get the ball early in that game. I also add in how many close looks they miss. That has gone on for years as well.

 Great,
   Hang in there! I perceive that the newcomers who are playing the most, don't care for the taste of losing basketball and will correct some of those ills. Look for 1 loss max in the rest of the schedule. May be hope over experience, though.

I don't want to be Debbie Downer here Ronk but no way in hell is this team going 7-1 with this upcoming schedule.It will be hard just getting out of Bethlehem tomorrow night.Never mind Drew and Etown on the road and Catholic and Juniata at home.

What brought you to the dark side? LOL.

And....
let's not forget another game with Frank & the River Hawks.
Zen Master needs to revise lesson plans for his grasshoppers.

Mens game rescheduled for tomorrow at 7pm in Bethlehem!

[NEPAFAN]

On a rare positive note Scranton recruit P.J. Kellachan is back playing basketball and went for 8 points and 10 rebounds in what I believe was his first game back after collapsing at practice.

Great,

What brought you to the dark side? LOL.

haha tuning in and seeing the team lose on what is largely being out coached and not making adjustments

[saratoga]

Great Day:
Yep...understand.
After 20 years of watching it happen, it still doesn't make it any easier to watch game after game.
At least the Zen Master walks the side lines with notes to himself this year.
Words of thought for the team tonight...
Guys, tonight I want you to, "Just be the ball, be the ball, be the ball".
Sounds like a solid game plan.

First 5 minutes of basketball, and I had to turn it off. That was brutal to watch. I'll crawl back in a moment ha

[NEPAFAN]

Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 24 hours.

+1 Great...

Like I said lucky if they get by in Bethlehem.I did not see the men because I was at the ladies game.All I know a 6-11 team went into O.T. with Carl Danzing team and did it surprise me No way!But congrats to the guys for coming back and winning it in O.T.

 Remarkable number of unforced turnovers by both teams, despite the absence of quality defense. Post play for the Royals was strong on finishing but weak on receiving the pass(6 TOs) and only 2 defensive rebounds.
  Royals move a game closer to 1st place but now trail 2 teams instead of 1(Juniata). Entering the 2nd half of conference play with the 4 strongest teams all at home and the 3 weakest on the road.

Ronk also another game Out rebounded and 2nd chance pts.

[Augie2020]

How many turned the game off when Goucher took the Lead 58-53(Me).
