MBB: Landmark Conference

[Rofrog]

 Nepafan not trying to argue.As a longtime fan of Royals and Lady Royals basketball I'm very  disappointed in Danzing as is alot of fans.

Susquehanna upsets Catholic 75-70.

Can't really say the Royals "upset" Drew since they:

A. Match up well and

B. They were the hands down pick to win the whole Landmark enchilada anyway.

Perhaps the guys have one more little run left in them over their last 3 games???

Every game is huge at this point of the season...good road win.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I'd still call it an upset when Drew has the lead in the conference and Scranton has shown they have struggled this season with about .500 record.

Yes, Scranton matchs up well, but I'd still call that an upset, especially since it was a win AT Drew this season.

Saratoga: I call it a PUSH 

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Saratoga: I call it a PUSH 

Ha. That works.

[saratoga]

Rofrog....

Push it will be.

Just can't remember the year it was when the Royals had their last 'push' fast break??

Maybe when Randy Arnold was running the point?

[ronk]

Just notice that today's Royals' twinbill has a different starting time - men @ 1, women, approximately 3:30.

[saratoga]

There are bad losses & then there are truly really, really bad losses.

Today, the Royal's mastered the latter.

From predicted conference champion to more than likely not even making it into the conference playoffs, this season, with all its hype, will end up being nothing more than an emphatic dud.

Danzig better have the recruiting year of his career because the last two have been less than contributing factors to the win column.

[Rofrog]

Saratoga:They had a 17 point lead (smh).This team lost one player from last year ONE!They had everything coming back ,man did Danzing and this team choke.

[ronk]

 Royals' unforced errors contributed significantly to the loss today. With 1:24 left in 1st half, the Royals had the ball with the opportunity to
2 have 2 shots vs 1 for Catholic. Instead, they commit an illegal screen TO; seconds later, after an exchange they double team the PG who is no threat to score, allowing him to pass to someone who can and did hit a 3.
  In the 2nd half, they commit a technical, giving Catholic 2 more made foul shots. That makes 3 techs in the last few weeks, all on different players. They need to have better composure.

[ronk]

With 2 games left in the season:

Drew,Moravian  9-3
Juniata  8-4
Scranton,Catholic  7-5
Susque  6-6
E-town  2-10
Goucher  0-12


Big games this coming week:

All are big since E-town doesn't play Goucher


my projected final standings would be:

Moravian 11-3
Juniata 10-4
Scranton,Drew  9-5
Catholic  8-6
Susque 7-7
E-town  2-12
Goucher 0-14

Ronk:

Unforced turnovers have been the story of this team throughout the year.

Not the way it's supposed to be with a senior backcourt & the experience they brought back.

Absolutely correct on the T's.....the wheels of this bus are coming off in multiple directions.

Usually we fall behind by 20 & then try for the comeback.

Nice to see we have some versatility and can also blow 20 point leads. 

[Rofrog]

Ronk:Technical foul was stupid and that was a senior who got called for it.I blame it on poor coaching!This is what happens when there is no discipline for there actions.

[NEPAFAN]

Mancuso and DeVerna. Two duds? I think not.
