Good to see a little bit of Alumni engagement on behalf of the Athletics Department. Not sure many of Bess's guys are that involved with the current program.

With playoffs coming up and these next few games being huge for seeding, if I'm a top team in the league, I would hate to see the Drew Rangers coming to town.

If Klinger, Herring, and McLaughlin are on they can get really hot and fill it up. Especially with them being all seniors and already taking down Susquehanna they are a dangerous team come playoff time.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Yeah, but they are also very banged up and lost a lot of their inside look. That new guard look may have confused Susquehanna the first time, but at this point everyone has seen them and adjusted. The Rangers lost three in a row after that Crusaders game including to Goucher once everyone got a look at that new look. Drew is a good team, but I don't think they are the ones everyone is worried about. That distinction probably applies to Merchant Marine.

Couple of intriguing games tonight. Let's hope Susquehanna-Juniata is better than MMA-Drew. Watched the 2nd half of that one and MMA completely dismantled Drew. If Drew isn't hitting shots they're in real trouble. 5-23 from 3pt. Klinger and Herring combine for 6-22, 1-10 from 3pt.

Could be another late-season surge for MMA.

Thankfully there are no more Wednesday road trips for Catholic in the regular season. Really lifeless start and E-Town were more than willing to grab that opportunity. Cards weren't able to really get a handle on the game until there were about 7 minutes left and stretch it out to the final 13 point margin. Some ugly basketball for long stretches. Catholic is just 5-5 on the road this season. Their lack of confidence in road games is weird.

Two positives: 1) Corey Stanford scored his 1,000th point tonight. He's got a broken bone in his left hand and thankfully the wrap doesn't seem to be impeding him too much. 2) Coach Howes has seemed to settle on a bench rotation that is paying off and the bench players made a difference tonight.

In broader Landmark action, I see Juniata let a real opportunity slip through their fingers tonight against Susquehanna. Steven Weidlich had a 3-point play with 4 seconds left to give Susquehanna the win.

It appears that Ethan Danzig didn't play tonight; anyone know if he's ill or injured?

Tweaked his knee should be in the lineup Saturday per Dean Corwin.

Tough game for Catholic at Drew today. The Cards trailed the majority of the game and only took the lead for good with a little over 4 minutes left in the game. Some clutch free throw shooting gave Catholic the 73-69 win. Jay Howard was huge with 28 points, for long stretches being the only offense Catholic could muster.

A positive is that this hasn't been the kind of game Catholic has won this season. They've either won games handily or lost. This was a game where they had to find a way to grind out points because they weren't shooting well. Thankfully no more road games in the regular season.

   S/O for Scranton's newest bball member of its Wall of Fame - Brian O'Donnell(2001-2005), my favorite Royal hoopster of the modern(D3hoops) era. Only Royal to lead the team in rebounding 4 consecutive years, 2nd all-time in rebounds and top 20 in points, steals, and blocks. Standout on 2003 Sweet 16 team as a soph. Injured hand in one of those Thanskgiving-weekend games @ Catholic junior year, missed a lot of the season or his stats would be even better.

Would like to see Scranton go 2-1 to close out Landmark Play at a 11-5, would obviously have to steal on at Sus or Catholic. Don't think the 1 seed is realistic, but would like a #2...

Scranton would likely have to beat both Sus and CUA to move ahead of CUA; otherwise would be #3 because of tiebreaker #2(CUA has already beaten Sus).
