MBB: Landmark Conference

Big Red can't miss! Doesn't look good early Kate!


Unrelated, does anyone know how to get my old videos on a Video Tape onto Youtube?

That game certainly didn't make my day , however, Wisconsin will hopefully send em back to Ithaca (maybe).

NEPA: Just for the record, I was not criticizing anyone for poor recruiting when I mentioned the kid from Pennsbury. It is a bit early & time will certainly tell how good or not so good this recruiting class will be.
The reality is Scranton has some pretty obvious needs in order to move to the next level (winning after Landmark playoffs), and hopefully, some really capable kids will be chipping in real soon.
Certainly was not my intent to throw any bombs...just hope they can bring in some kids that can! 
St. Mary's over Nova...very nice!

   Nice to hear Scranton bball mentioned on the championship telecasts yesterday. On the men's side, they had a graphic of multiple champions and Scranton was tied for 3rd place with 2; UW-SP then moved ahead of them by winning its 3rd.
  On the women's side, they showed some hilites of Hope winning in 2006 and noted they had a tougher battle in the semifinal beating the Mellody/Matt team 59-56. Also, Friday nite Wash U replaced Scranton as the leader in NCAA tournament wins. Hopefully, the Lady Royals can reclaim the lead next year.

Better than your phantom recruits postings.

Matt,

I heard a rumor that St Johns is looking at Billy Donavan to fill their vacant Head Coaching spot. At least he can be one of 10 people to see his kid play when Catholic makes the trip up to Kings' Point.

ARLINGTON, Va.- Each year, a non-profit organization called Wreaths Across America honors fallen U.S. veterans by placing over 100,000 wreathes in more than 300 locations nationwide. The group preaches one message: "Remember the fallen; Honor those who serve; Teach our children the value of freedom."

This simple, yet powerful slogan is the foundation for an organization that has grown from humble beginnings into a National movement to honor the sacrifices of American servicemen and women. It was a message that Steve Howes, CUA head men's basketball coach, hoped to instil in his players when he signed them up to volunteer at this year's event.

"A lot of members of my family have been in the service, and I know the sacrifice that they put forth," said head coach Steve Howes. 'Given the fact that our country is involved in two conflicts right now, I thought it would be appropriate for our guys to honor the service of so many men and women."

The team met on the chilly morning of December 12, 2009 to volunteer at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. Although the young men were not thrilled to be riding a metro train at 6 a.m., their sleepiness turned to awe soon after they arrived.

"Many had never visited Arlington," said Howes, "So I think the size and scope of it all was shocking to them."

This year, more than 6,000 volunteers placed 15,000 wreathes on the graves of the fallen. The men's basketball team also joined forced with 75 members of the Alumni Association to represent Catholic University at this year's event.

"It was great for the alumni to interact with our guys and to see them doing something other than playing basketball," the head coach noted.

Howes believes that by instilling the WAA's motto of "Remember, Honor, and Teach," his players will walk away with a new appreciation for the sacrifices of those who have given their lives.

"Many of those serving are their ages," he said. "I wanted to give them some perspective on how fortunate they are to be in college and playing a sport."

Wow. Post of the year. I laughed at first but then read the details. Vomit wasn't the only bodily fluid in that police cruiser. Can you imagine the kid's parents? This kid probably never touched a beer in his life, his parents are sending him across the country, Coach says he is going to watch over the kid during his trip , next thing you know he is at twice the legal limit.  There has to be some discplinary action against the coaching staff, no? Needless to say I bet he is going to BYU in the fall.

One would think he is not likely to be showing up in the Landmark Conference next year.  And yeah--you'd figure that somebody's head is going to roll.

I think your scenario is probably exactly right.  Breaks out of Utah, goes wild for the first time...doesn't end well.

  Scranton's Sean Kearney will be replaced as head coach @ Holy Cross after a 9-22 year.
