MBB: Landmark Conference

[Matt Letourneau]

Yeah, where's Matt? Did Banzhaf graduate? 

Seriously, this is a pretty exciting race... where's the chatter??? I miss you guys!

Well, I've been a bit busy...

Cheers to everyone!

Wow, congrats Matt!

Matt, we'll excuse your absence, as long as your priorities are in order. The Cards needed you in attendance tonight to derail the hot-shooting Royals. Scranton played smartly on  offense alternating 3-pt bombs with take it to the hoop drives and good defensive effort, something that was missing @ Juniata last week.
  Off to Goucher tomorrow to impress Dave McHugh, Trae Kindsay, et al in a quest to secure an ORV.

ronk - you know that ORV isn't getting anywhere with a win over Goucher, despite a win over Catholic, thanks to the two you lost to Susquehanna and Juniata (who I wasn't impressed with).

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

And Matt, you telling us you can't multitask??? I am disappointed to here that!

Just kidding, congrats. I am sure you are beyond busy now... but certainly look like you are doing things you love... that is all that matters.

Looks like Scranton's shaking off its road woes. A 2-0 weekend puts them at 7-2, alone atop the Landmark. Three others sit right behind them at 6-3. So, not much shakes out.

Watched the game tonight. Can't believe Goucher doesn't have a conference victory yet, they played hard in both games this weekend.

Oh wow! Bless me Father for I have sinned....oh wait, you sound like him but.....

They can't close games... that is their biggest Achilles Heal. If they could close in the final minutes, they would be much better in this league. Also, if Lindsay played as well all season as he did this weekend, it would be a different story. He has had no drive this season and finally showed up this weekend... I think that may be the biggest disappointment of the season, so far, for the Gophers.

I HATE saying this kind of thing, but their record I don't think represents how good they are... but until they finish games and play a full 40 minutes, it is going to be tough for the Gophers to get wins. However, they are playing better basketball in the last few weeks then I saw in the middle of the season... so maybe next weekend :-).

Also, does anyone want to win the Landmark? Everyone is stumbling, even Scranton will probably say they got away with a win over Goucher... to take first place in the conference. I like what Scranton did on the court, but they may have been exhausted after preparing for Catholic. Right now I think Moravian is the sleeper in this conference and Susquehanna could also end up on top. Scranton has some good weapons (Swaback, especially), but there is plenty of basketball still to be played in the next three weekends.

[TheGrove]

I was wondering that myself, D-Mac. It looks like to end up in the top 4, teams will have to win out at home and eke out at couple of road wins. If a team can get a road sweep one weekend, that could decide it. And that seems to be asking a lot.

By the way - great meeting some of this board's posters over the weekend... nice to put faces to names... and nice to see ronk once again.

I find it amusing, yet irritating that Lord Thy God smites me whenever I make a post like this....I considered putting a blurb in a column just for laughs but space is at a high premium these days.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

cold_case... who are you talking about? Because if God is actually able to smite and applaud us... I would love to chat with him .

No new smites on your ID number, actually.

CC,
I didn't want you to be disappointed, so I just smited you.
