MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

Roster is up, no suprises other than the transfer from the insitution formerly known as Baptist Bible.

Home script unis! Looking good, Royals!

I should have played the lottery

 Royals' invitation for interest in playing in next year's tipoff tourney went out today; my preference is to solicit specific quality schools instead of a general message. With the nonconference possibilities now down to 7 from 11 previously, it becomes even more important to stress quality opponents from an SOS perspective.

Personalized letters of invitation going out to Sarah Lawrence, Bard, Pratt & Houghton.

NEPA:

I'm guessing you didn't see the article yet.
You need to back away from the ledge & put down any sharp objects.
CUA is starting a Pep Band & they are actually hiring someone to direct it.

Scranton fans to UofS athletic dept...let's not do the same old/same old.
Get students engaged internally & stop depending on alumni all the time.

You trying to rile me up? Maybe they created this position out of their FloSports funds.

 Catholic played an exhibition @ U of Vermont Saturday, losing 85-59.

Noticed adjustments to the conference schedule, ostensibly because of the Landmark @ the Palestra Jan 14. Jan 3 - Scranton plays a men/women doubleheader @ Etown instead of 1 game @ each school that night. Friday Jan 12 doubleheader @ Catholic instead of Saturday the 13th.

Do the Royals scrimmage Haverford tomorrow? It is on d3hoops schedule

If there's a game on our schedule before Nov 8th, it's because one of the schools entered it themselves.

Photos posted on Royals Men's Basketball Instagram of scrimmage with Haverford. Few short days to go! Predictions... Do the Royals challenges Catholic and Susq for the Landmark?

Great Day:

Sorry...just don't see the Royals cutting any nets this season.

To me, the scoring losses of Danzig & Braunstein will be too much for this years edition of the Royals to overcome.

The younger guys will hopefully improve their game throughout the season but there is only so much extra scoring they can add each game.

Spatola will help ease Stephan's 13 pt. scoring loss but Danzig's 23 ppg. will be difficult.

Plus, the Royals have never hit the offensive boards well so second chance shots will also more than likely be lacking.

Will is going to need help down low so teams can't frustrate him into 3 fouls in the first 12 minutes of the game...not sure where that comes from.

All in all, probably a very milquetoast kind of year in Royaland.

They'll win the ones they should, lose the ones they should & probably lose more than half of the toss ups.

Probably good enough to get in the Landmark playoffs as a 4 or 5 seed but I seriously doubt they get beyond that...especially if they're on the road.

Hope I'm wrong, that's why you lace them up.

Any reports from insiders on how the two scrimmages went?


I see at least one kid in street clothes from the instragram photos, hopefully everyone else is healthy.

[ronk]

 Haven't seen those photos but have seen previously that 1 of the frosh has suffered an injury so it's likely to be him.

They scrimmaged with Haverford and the other school was?
