MBB: Landmark Conference

[lefty2]

Does any other conference determine the doubleheader schedule as such? I'd think it would be up to the individual schools.

Aren't the Landmark schools like-minded?

Well-played... +k.

[ronk]

Do you believe the 3 presidential changes(Catholic,Scranton,MMA) were precisely because of this revolutionary Landmark policy change?

[ronk]

It required the collaboration of the Pope, the Jesuits, and the military(maybe the committee to reelect the President).  Anybody seen Hunt and Liddy lately?

[saratoga]

Could those three changes be related to the 3 men seen on "the grassy knoll"?

[NEPAFAN]

As much as it pains me to say it, the Women have been drawing just as well, if not better than the Men at basketball games.  I just don't see how you generate any buzz having the Men playing first.

Scranton's roster is up , so let the kvetching begin. One unknown, Corey Walsh from Scranton , he is a JR G/F.

Great...another crop of 6' guards. Just what they need! Recruiting fails yet again.
No Canio & Ed this season?

Think there is a Point Guard in this crop?

The new assistant coach is from a historically black college. I like that move.

[saratoga]

NEPA: One can only hope that one of these 3 newcomers can play the point. If not, serious trouble...again.
Last season we averaged more TURNOVERS than POINTS & ASSISTS combined from that position. How many years since Randy's been gone? How many years since Tom Bicknell graduated? And yet neither position has remotely been filled.
I think any reasonable game plan will consist of, stop Ashworth, play man against them & pound it inside then back out. The Royals will have few opportunities for 2nd. chance shots, virtually no inside game, no team speed & getting killed on the boards will be a regular occurance. Serious questions as to who picks up the slack when Luke is on the bench with his tendency to foul and although loaded with guards, where does the relief come from in terms of front court points & rebounds?
Perhaps the only saving grace...probably one of the absolute worst schedules in terms of strength in D III.
Should Canio & Ed not be back as assistants, who picks up the time & skill they devoted to teaching defense, defense, defense?
As we all know, the women at Scranton have outdrawn the men for a number of years now. How bad will it be when the Royals play one of their 5:30 games in front of less than a few hundred & then the women take the court to a crowd 3 times that amount?
Can't wait for the advance ticket window to open for that Arcadia game!

Howdy, Saratoga! Imagine how devastating it would be if Arcadia were to beat you  .  Ugh, the horror

[saratoga]

Kate: Trust me...that opportunity will certainly be there for Arcadia. Losses to teams such as Arcadia are no longer devastating...more like, commonplace.
Quick change of topic...at least we can celebrate the fact that the Yankees are NOT A.L. East champs. All the money in the world did not buy them that distinction. They may well end up winning it all but, the Rays denied them the east pennant.

All you Phillie fans were there during the lean years at the Vet , right?


Go Twins/Rays!


Toga/Ronk, other than Swaback who is playing in the front court for the Royals?

[ronk]

  Some of us were there during the even leaner years at Connie Mack Stadium.

As for the front court, Luke Hawk can play with some mins from Andrew Wynne. Haven't seen any one else play; looks like at least 3 guards, a full-court press, and a Grinnell outscore them offense.

Heck yeah! Well, the late 90s/early 00s lean years. I'm a fairly recent convert to baseball.
