MBB: Landmark Conference

[cold_case]

Why argue with the guy? If it were F&M in Scranton's position, they'd be yapping up a storm.

Dave justify yourself because it seems like you skipped my thought.You said to coach Danzing bluntly that Middlebury is better then Scranton on paper i want you to justify yourself and hoopsville for coming out with that comment.The game is played on the court and not on paper and i agree with these people,you people on d3hoops do not give much credit to Scranton men and women!

Maybe the fact that everyone outside of Scranton believes it.  That's some justification.

If Scranton wins the game tonight, it will be the biggest possible upset in this round of the tournament.  It will vindicate the Scranton detractors who don't like the bad losses and weak schedule.  Just win the game and people will give the team it's due.

Right now, they're big underdogs.  That's just fact.

Hoops Fan, I noticed you only come on this board when there is controversy. How come? And what contemplates a "weak" schedule? This is not Kentucky, Duke or UNC we're talking about...

I don't usually frequent the MA boards - I've been here this week because of the tournament and I'm headed to F&M tonight.

It's not their fault the schedule is weak - the conference and the region have been down this year.  But it doesn't really matter since we have a tournament and Scranton is still alive.  They can prove how good they are on the court - no team can ask for more than that.

Will Scranton fans be bringing the continent-sized chip on their collective shoulders to Vermont?

Good gravy, I've never seen anything like this.

I have the utmost respect for the Royals. I think they are a very good team: well-coached, talented, with the intangible never-give-up attitude that can serve you very well this time of year. I think tonight's game against Middlebury will be a great contest. Do I think Middlebury should win? Yes. Would I be surprised if Scranton did? No. At this point in the tournament, only really good teams are left. Anything can happen.

I just wish that the Scranton faithful would chill a little bit, cut back on the whining, and enjoy the ride.

Hoops, when they are given a fair shake (HAHAHA) then all their fans will take a step back.

haha, yeah the F&M boards have been eerily quiet this post season.  I think most are either cautiously optimistic or are still too scarred from 94 and 04 to talk. 

If i had to make a gun to my head prediction about that pod, i think F&M will win tonight but lose to MIT tomorrow.

Scranton has nothing to prove, they got the monkey off their back with an epic comeback against Messiah and destroyed Becker. Who cares if it was back to back games for Becker, no excuses Scranton dominated.

I don't think they have to beat Midd to prove that they are a good team.

Exactly my sentiments.
