MBB: Landmark Conference

saratoga · February 06, 2019, 10:08:01 PM

This is about the third game this year where the lack of offensive/defensive substitutions nearly cost the Royals.

Their 6'8" soph. just has to get tougher around the basket.

Please re-recruit Randy Arnold.

As you said, good win (aren't they all) but, far harder than it needed to be.

This team loves living on the edge and why not I will say it again very young team at 18-4. I will not complain after last years team.Moravian is no push over they start 3 seniors and 2 juniors while Scranton starts 2 juinors and 3 freshman.Then Moravians bench is not underclassmen either like Scrantons.Very good win for this very young team keep it up Royals.

Agreed Ro, if i would have told you last year this year's team would have 18 wins you'd take it in a heartbeat. Kudos to Jackson for a near triple double and limiting the turnovers. Also nice to see brocket knocking down some 3's early on.

The ending was crazy, i think it was a camera operator fail so i didn't see Logan's miss. Easily could have folded in OT. Nice job.

Regarding Logan's missed layup: Since the camera didn't show it, was it contested? If so, it was definitely a poor choice to take it. If not, and he simply blew an open layup, then I don't fault him for taking a shot that should have put them up two possessions.

But they showed up in OT and Danzig, Bailey and Mancuso (free throws notwithstanding) played well. This team is good this year, and with some help underneath and a more control at the point could be great next year.

Lurking in the shadows.

Seriously, though, I haven't been able to watch as many of the games this winter as I would have liked so I didn't have much to add to the conversation...

Randy Arnold will be on the court tomorrow.

Just read where Bobby Casey (Scranton Prep), former high school teammate of Royals star Logan Bailey, just became the all time leader in made 3 pointers in the long & storied history of Williams College.

Well done & congratulations.

Predictions for today?

saratoga · February 09, 2019, 05:26:04 PM

Scranton has already won so beyond that I'd say Susquehanna, Moravian & Drew win today.

The "color analyst" for Royals games just has to stop talking.

He must think he gets paid by the word...seriously, stop talking.

You keep cutting Dean off by trying to be funny & stating dumb things all day.

Your role is to add to the game off the lead of the play by play announcer, not monopolize the microphone to create the Harry Dammer Comedy Hour.

I'm in the opposite camp on this one, since I enjoy both Harry's analysis and his banter plus Dean increasingly needs help in distinguishing the players from his position 100+ feet away.

Then we agree to disagree.

He's worse than John Sterling.

Tim the Enchanter · February 09, 2019, 08:46:24 PM

The conference playoff teams are set, but who is playing where is still up in the air. The games between the four playoff teams on Wednesday (Scranton at Drew, Moravian at Susquehanna) will be pivotal in determining who gets on the bus!

He's a volunteer. Can't get on a guy donating his time.
