MBB: Landmark Conference

[Bucket]

Congrats Scranton. You guys had a great game plan milking the clock and seemed to hit big shot after big shot. Good luck the rest of the way.

Bucket,
  Thanks for the best wishes. Enjoyed the msg board chat with you. Hopefully, the Royals can be as effective tomorrow.

Mailsy,
  I picked Walton-Moss for my fantasy team and he's been an outstanding contributor, but I'd trade a poor performance tomorrow for a Royals' victory.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

See, Scranton, no need to get worked up.  You proved yourself on the court and took out the best defensive team in the country.  Way to go.

So, Scrantonians, what's more important tomorrow (well, today) - the game or the St. Patrick's Day Parade? 

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Very impressed Royals... very impressed. Heck of a shot to end it... but also heck of a job to be in that position. Glad you went out there and proved you could play with Middlebury... helping lead to the fact that for the first time since 2001... there will be no UAA or NESCAC team in Salem!

Round of applause!

  It was a tradition, for a couple of years(2005,6 on the women's side), that we combined the parade with hosting the elite 8 game; made for an interesting pregame as the students came into the Long Center after a day of parading and imbibing. Hopefully, we can back to those good ol' days. Enjoy the 2nd biggest St. Pat's parade in the country, Grove.

Just got in from Middlebury what a snowstorm we just went through.Lets start by giving the Royals all the respect in the world.Travis hit a big shot at the end and coach Danzing ran into the stands afterward.All i can say is what a shot he hit. It was right in front of the bench and the place went silent just like some of the critics.Great job Royals the 30 fans we had there we had your back.GO ROYALS

  Unlike the forecast, Middlebury didn't present demonstrably difficult matchups, after all. Cabrini, with their recent addition, might do so.

Augie,
Bring us 1 more victory, tomorrow.

[augie]

Hopefully they will ronk!

Don't laugh but I watched the first half then had to go with the woman to shop for drapes and bedding. Was shocked when NEPA told me the final.
OK, all of you can go ahead and laugh but at least I manned up and admitted it ....

Caution on Cabrini: their best frontline player(Alton-Moss) was a semester break addition and didn't play in the earlier game this year.

ronk, you've missed the gist of your above post.
It's trendy for MAC schools to add transfers at anytime. It's their way of life, which is why Scranton and others left for greener academic pastures.
Cripes, at Del Valley, they had two different seasonal rosters. I remember King's played them in December then in January, DV had a completely different roster. Incredible.

[NEPAFAN]

Middlebury hadn't lost in two years in their gym!


Any truth to the rumor that 2 starters are skipping today's game for the parade?

Congratulations to Scranton nation!  Cold case, i should be congratulating you, too, as you have just given us the gift of Cabrini in our MAC!  Thank YOU!!!
