MBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

Truly unbelievable.

They honestly need to hire someone with a PR background to get this corrected.

I'm sure Bess has a few ideas

Get a Communications Major and give me a Internship/Work Study......let's see if the attendance gets any better with the doubleheader's..

Also Drew with a buzzer beater to beat Carnegie Mellon....they are looking really good.

What did the transfer from DelVal (Robinson) have? It looks like he's made a difference.

Lybrant Robinson had 23 including 5-12 on 3-pters.

Terrible loss again by the Men.I swear every year is a repeat and getting tired of it!!!

They almost were outscored by 1 player...what was the strategy to shut him down?

Very few teams have been successful at that.

[Rofrog]

Some teams did- they do have 6 losses.These are the games that kill Scranton every year come tournament time and it is the same **** this year.It is getting old real old!!

[saratoga]

Regardless of the talent level, the years all seem to end up the same.

Win the games they clearly should.

Lose the games they clearly should.

Lose most of the toss up games.

They've just never been able to go on a consistent roll and play inspired basketball for a full season.

The next stop for the Royal Express must be Willoughby.

 A problem of insufficient offensive discipline appearing once again: too many 1-on-1 drives into traffic, resulting in turnovers, 2 assists by halftime. Arcadia had no one to stop our post player in the paint; he should have gotten the ball whenever he was in there; no one stops him except himself(4 poor judgment fouls).
As for defense, I'm from the school that u don't let the other team's best player beat u; u make the lesser players do what they're not used to doing(carrying the load when #1 option is stymied). Coach Danzig didn't seem to be his usual demonstrative self, allowing the players to work through the problems, possibly hoping for a longer-range big picture a-ha moment for the team.
  The problems are mostly mental and discipline which are more easily correctable than physical ability or effort lapses.

+K.....



Also they couldn't hit a three......1-13 at one point I believe.

A team can still have one player be unstoppable and still lose ... it isn't unheard of. Even the Chicago Bulls of the 90s lost games.

Or Andy Panko!

Or Andy Panko!

I believe Andy's dad was a U of S golfer sometime around when I attended; we certainly missed out on Andy Jr as a legacy baller; may have been another championship to add to the list.

[Pat Coleman]

But on the plus side, you missed out on Andy Sr. as a helicopter dad.

This is concerning none the less. I think Drew is the front runner for the Conference. Scranton can't afford the trip ups we saw last year at ETOWN and Susquehanna.

[ronk]

 Preseason-wise, I would have Scranton as the favorite because every other contender lost more through graduation. However, Drew picked up a Xfer from Del Valley(Lybrant Robinson) who has made up the disparity such that they are an equally probable choice. I see Moravian,Susquehanna, and E-town battling for the other 2 playoff spots. Susquehanna has been missing their best player(Dominic Dunn). Catholic doesn't seem to be strong enough to contend but should finish above Juniata and Goucher.

You are going back 20 years to take a shot at a guy? What is the statue of limitations on this...
