MBB: Landmark Conference

[Great Day to be a Royal]

16 first half points.

That's impressively bad.

Have to guess that's a top 10 lowest scoring half in 3 point era.

Just another game with a suburb game plan right from the start by the Royals head coach.
Typical start vs. a good team...down by nearly 20 four minutes in.
Absolutely brutal.
Trying to keep score of how many different starting lineups this guy has used thus far can be a challenge.
Looks like Khoza is back in favor...the Spratt experiment is over & the Big Labowski has been relegated to mop-up minutes.
No rhyme or reason...just throwing darts at balloons.

 Lebinsky played all his mins in the 1st half; can't discern why he wasn't used in the 2nd half. He had a beautiful pass/assist which I consider a big part of his offensive game but he never got the ball in the paint where he would be most effective. Should have had 20 mins of playing time(minimum). Ruisi also. Hamilton Roth wasn't there today.
  Allowing Neylon 32 points plus the 17 offensive rebounds was too much to overcome.
  Hoping for a victory in 1 of the 2 home games this coming week(Moravian, Susque).

Game after game...
Year after year.

 Both Moravian games tomorrow have been advanced 1 hour to 6 PM because of impending weather.

Congratulations to Will McLoughlin on scoring 1000pts tonight.Besides that nothing else to say.Maybe I do!When will they name the court after Bessior and Strong?All those Trophies in the long center is because of those two great coaches.Take your time like you did ruining the men's program and bringing it to the level of Misericordia  men's basketball team great job.

Good win by the Royals today, just as Ronk has hoped.

Win the next two and they finish with a winning record in the regular season!

 If the Royals beat Lyco on Wed and Etown loses to Drew, then The Royals should clinch the final playoff spot by virtue of them beating a higher seeded team(Susque) than Etown, even if they lose to Etown on Sat.
  The team would have been better off this season if Marion and Merriman had switched playing time.

Better off in what way?
One more win?
Two?
An undefeated season?
Seriously...with all the lineups Danzig has rolled out, this one is the game changer?
The Royals have far bigger issues than splitting hairs on minutes between two kids that rarely get any.

 The Royal prognosticator returns:
 The Royals have a 72.5% chance of getting the final conference playoff spot, 22.5% for winning @ Lyco AND Etown losing @ Drew on Wednesday OR 50% for winning @ Etown on Saturday.
 Then, in the playoffs, they (or Etown) have a 1% chance(1/4 x 1/5 x 1/5) of winning the AQ, but as Jim Valvano said before the '83 NCAA final, "we have a better chance than the 300 teams who aren't here tonight".

pumped to get to 13 wins, and a conference playoff spot as a 6 seed, all for a chance to get spanked by Drew or Catholic. Yikes

Drew is really good if you haven't noticed. After starting 1-2, both losses by a combined 3 points, they are 19-1, with the lone loss to NYU

Totally agree GDTBAR,End the misery!
