MBB: Landmark Conference

Matt shut the hell up all ready about Banzhaf and Catholic and Ronk i have been around the game along time so if Zach was 3 inches taller he would be at a division 1 also i was trying to be sarcastic.

What are you talking about?  What are you even responding to?  I didn't say a word about Ashworth.

Maybe Augie is in ANTICIPATORY" mode, waiting for your weekly comparison.

Looks like we finally have a Scranton student posting!

Lets go Catholic! ( For tonight at least!)

[Matt Letourneau]

Well, you got your wish.  I have given up trying to figure these guys out.  Apparently, if you aren't Scranton, we're going to blow you out!

Catholic 91 Drew 48

Cardinals had an astounding 56-29 rebounding advantage.

  Royals with win tonite clinch hosting in 1st round of conference playoff. Luke plays effectively after missing previous game with injury but Royals lose Tommy Morgan in fall to floor early in game(shades of Paul Hawk 2 years ago which affected Royals play in NCAA that year).
  NCAA has Royals in-region record  and record vs. regionally ranked opponents shy 1 victory(probably Kean). Will advise coaching staff of discrepancy since it affects regional ranking, Pool C status, and NCAA tournament hosting as well as other contenders. It's been that way in both regional rankings released so far.

Somewhat amazing that Scranton's win at Kean (# 2 in their region) & a win over regionally ranked Cabrini hasn't put the Royals in the mix.
I'm sure if they win on the road today vs. Juniata, coupled with Keystone's horrible loss vs. Marywood, they certainly should be in next Wednesday.
Then again, this is the NCAA we are talking about & putting incorrect spins on their own rules has become a yearly right of passage.

Glad to hear that Royal's Freshman Tommy Morgan "only" has a concussion. Some scary moments watching the live video as Tommy's head hit the deck and he his whole body started twitching. About a 10 minute delay in the game as he was transported to the hospital.

It was scary live, too. Really glad to hear he's OK.

I'm thinking that the NCAA hasn't realized that it's an in-region game and Scranton hasn't gotten credit for it yet; I'll pursue it with the coach.

Forget my last post...I was dreaming when I thought the Royals may finally be ready for prime time.
There is no way in the world a team trying to impress those in charge of their fate allow themselves to be totally dominated by a team that had 4 conference wins to that point. I could care less if the game is at Juniata...if you're better, then win the damn game. Does Duke go into every game on tobacco road with that mentality or do they tighten up the D and just get it done?
A freakin pathetic effort that just cost them dearly.
If, and I do mean if...they are lucky enough to win the Landmark they are obviously on the road come tournament time. However, I promise you that after this putrid loss, they just kissed away any chance of an at-large opportunity.
When is this program going to regain the ability to win big games and advance beyond a nice record in a generally weak conference?
Apparently, not this year...again.

Go Goucher!  With their win over Merchant Marine today, Catholic actually has a shot at the #2 seed and a home game.  Goucher upsetting Drew would certainly help the cause.

After a no-show for the week, Matt makes an appearance and that only means one thing: Catholic must have won Friday.

[NEPAFAN]

Scranton still clinches the 1 seed.

2 questions:   1 - does anyone have an update on Tommy Morgan?

2- I believe Scranton is the only team to win both legs of a road trip, Winning at CUA and Goucher. Has any other team done it?
