I went to Williams for a football game. Depending on where you get on 7, that's not a bad trip. I wouldn't get on 7 from I-95 or the Merritt, though. Take Connecticut Rte. 8 north and then pick up 7 later.

I am looking ahead if I pointed out that one of Williams starters is injured?

You sure you want to bring attention to that?

I'll still be following Catholic this weekend--be nice to end on a high note by beating a good DeSales team--but basically, its on to next year for the Landmark...for all my complaining about the board being dead, it certainly came alive here at the end, though it wasn't neccessarily for the better.  Too bad things devolved.  I don't want to wade into it much--no dog in the fight and what not--but it does seem wise to point out that as far as I know, many of the people who devote time and effort to d3hoops in general, this board, and their respective programs, are doing so on a volunteer basis, or at least for little compensation.  I tend to feel like if these were real in person conversations, as opposed to internet missives, the tone would probably be different and wouldn't escalate nearly as quickly.

Matt you make very fair points.  I came on this board Monday to talk with Scranton/Landmark fans about the similarities between our two teams and the draws they received.  one of the volunteers of which you speak responded to every post of mine in a condescending manner, so i retort back.  At least on my end, anyone who talks to me that way in person would receive the same vigor. I dont hide behind my computer, bud.

If you complain about things constantly the way Larry does that you just might get that kind of response.

Makes me glad I am not an F&M grad to be represented by this guy!

Hey Scranton fans, what did you think of the trip/facilities/town around the college?  Did any of you stay for the Williams game?

be careful not to make any legitimate negative points, terror fan cant comprehend the difference between constructive criticism and a complaint.

Larry-

I wasn't at the game so can't comment on anything you requested. Did appreciate the video, even though the Royals lost the game. The announcers were terrible, but can't expect to much when the were calling the tune up game to the main event.  I think they had Becker and Scranton confused. Becker as we though brought constant pressure which I thought the Royals handle decently. The glaring problem was the lack of an inside presence for the Royals. The only player who brought anything in the paint was Luke Hawk. Obviously we have plenty of time to talk about it in the off season but the Royals lack of an inside game and inability to clean the glass on the defensive end kill them in this game.  They were red hot shooting for about 30 minutes and then when the outside shots weren't finding their mark they were dead in the water.


Congrats again though to the Landmark champs and the seniors on the team. Also congrats to Cabrini who I thought would get killed, but actually beat NJCU. Good for them


By the way Matt, if you take a look at the other boards, the Landmark is probably the most active in the Mid Atlantic. All the other boards have a two year head start on us and we are at 200 pages.

– CUA will play for an ECAC championship after the Cardinals rolled past DeSales 88-56 on Saturday in the semifinals of the tournament.  It is the Cardinals first ECAC championship game appearance since 2005.  Cody Otto had a terrific day for CUA (21-8) with 15 points on 6 of 9 shooting, while Jason Banzhaf notched a double-double with 23 points and 10 boards.

CUA led 37-29 after one half and then the Cardinals started to pour it on, outscoring the Bulldogs 28-15 in the opening ten minutes of the second to go in front 65-46.

Otto and Banzhaf hit three 3-pointers between them right out of the gate in that second half to put CUA in front 46-33 with 17:53 on the clock.  Back-to-back layups by Banzhaf and Otto then made it a 16-point game with 17:05 remaining.

DeSales closed to within 12 on Andrew Kohler's free throw at the 14:03 mark but CUA responded with seven straight points capped by Spencer Reed's bucket and the Cardinals were in front 61-42.

Banzhaf's 3-pointer at the 7:50 mark made it a 25-point game and after Otto got to the hoop for a layup with 6:21 remaining the Cardinals were in front by 31, 79-48.

Chris Kearney gave CUA a 32-point cushion with a free throw at the 5:44 mark and senior Ryan Horka closed things out with a basket in the final minute to set the final margin at 32, equaling the Cardinals largest lead of the afternoon.

CUA shot a sizzling 56 percent in the second half while holding DeSales to just 30 percent in the final 20 minutes.  Joining Banzhaf and Otto in double figures was R.J. Dixon with 10, while Kearney pulled down seven boards and also blocked a pair of shots.

The Cardinals harassed their counterparts into a 3 of 18 showing from 3-point range (16 percent), including just 1 of 9 in the second half.

DeSales leading scorer Brian Hunter, who netted 21 in the Bulldogs win over CUA earlier this season, was held in check on Saturday, with only 14 points on 6 of 13 shooting.  Brett Moyer was the team's leading scorer with 16 points and two Bulldogs, Tom Marshall and Kyle Hash, pulled down five rebounds apiece.

Following a layup by Moyer at the 17:10 mark of the first half DeSales led 9-4, but four straight points by CUA brought the Cardinals to within 9-8.

Andy Roell's basket with 13:41 to go brought the Cardinals to within one and Dixon's jumper on CUA's next possession put the Cardinals in the lead, 15-14.

A basket by Moyer with 6:48 on the clock tied things at 23, but from there CUA scored seven straight to take a 30-23 lead with exactly four to go.

DeSales cut the Cardinals lead to just three with 1:37 left in the half but a Banzhaf layup and 3-pointer from Shawn Holmes propelled CUA into halftime ahead by eight, 39-27.

On Sunday CUA will take on the winner of the Lebanon Valley – Wesley semifinal in the 2011 ECAC Championship.  Tip-off is slated for 1 p.m. from Annville.  The Cardinals have just one ECAC title in school annals, which came in 1986 when CUA downed Frostburg State in the championship game, 90-86.

Hi ronk, i'm anticipating it in the sense that i'm getting my ducks in a row in order to go.  But should be a good one, i wouldnt be surprised either way about tonight

hilarious, the exact same thing i predicted on the CC board about a late VWC pull away is what occurred.

End of the road for the Cardinals seniors--particularly want to acknowledge Jason Banzhaf and RJ Dixon.  Jason finished his career with 1,819 points--3rd all time in CUA history.  In a program with as many great players as Catholic has had, that really means something.  RJ finishes 21st all time himself, and really developed as a leader on the court and a scoring threat over the last two years.  Best of luck to them.
