MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

Scratching my head you crush this team by 30 then lose by 2 smh how?Then Danzing calls timeout w/19 seconds left 68-66 inbound pass to Danzing up by the 3pt line what does Danzing do whips the ball in for a Turnover 2 years in a row they got you Coach.Let them play it out because again didnt work!Another bad loss for Danzing.This story is getting old.

They are too talented to lose this game. He didn't call a timeout either during the Etown run. They won on a buzzer beater last year, should have been on the Royals mind. You are right Rofrog a pattern we see every single year.

[saratoga]

Danzig was again clueless regarding how to stop momentum.

In a 12-2 run, no timeout taken which then led to more horrible shots and an eventual 20-2 run by E-town.

We've watched the Royal version of Groundhog Day for 20 plus years now.

Sadly, it will never change.

X's & O's is just a song with this team.

Clearly superior talent on paper, they never can consistently rise to the occasion.

Great win for the kids at Etown.

[Rofrog]

Nepafan i think tonight shows why 200 are in attendance at home.15 of them are danzings family and Toby(clown).So two years in a row Danzing draws up a play that involved his son and both times failed.You have Bailey that can take it right to the basket but that would be to smart what did Danzing do put it in his sons hands again!'As a long time Royal fan I'm just not happy with this guy coaching and when Toby was there his job was secured hopefully we bring in someone that takes us to the next level which would be ncaa tournament and final four like Bess did.Times need a changing at the long center.You see all them banners hanging up 95% Bessior and Strong did that with the U!

[NEPAFAN]

Still brutal the day after. 

[ronk]

 Entertaining and exasperating. I give credit to E-town for every 1 of their scores during the 20-2 run; they earned them. The fault lay with Scranton's offense during that run, bigs shooting from 15'+ instead of pounding it down in the paint plus the bad passes.

[Rofrog]

I feel the pain Nepafan:No excuses they lost that game do to coaching and every year Carl loses these games he should win!My god up 19 pts when they run off ten and you score zero you call time out,Ronk that is all on coaching sorry to say but this story keeps getting repeated every year w/Carl.You finally get the help you needed to be up a game in the Landmark so you go.to.Etown and blow a 19 pt lead then they go on a 22-2 run and not one time out used.Seriously what has Danzing done in means of Going to the final four or winning it.He has been here 20 years record is good but I'm not here for a landmark title or a one and done in the NCAA.Every program should have the eye on the prize.Guess what that hasnt been on point in 20 years at Scranton and that is why you get 200 people at the game because the product is not there.Like it was with bess(the showman)The long center was always packed and if you dont show the product people dont go.Alot of local talent on this team but not many followers.It is a shame that High School games can fill the CYC(Lackawanna)but The Royals cant get 200 people to a mens game

[ronk]

 Just like the women who had their position day(top 4 teams playing each other) this past Saturday, the men will have theirs tomorrow night. The outcomes will affect who has to travel for the conference semifinals.

[ronk]

 Actually, because the top 4 teams this season at this point r  Wednesday travel partners, each Wed 4 the rest of the regular season will be a position night unless E-town replaces 1 of the others in the top 4.

[Tim the Enchanter]

I missed the broadcast.  Is Bailey hurt?

[Rofrog]

I cant remeber the last time the Royals scored 17 pts in the 1st half!

[ronk]

Logan was out with the flu; Matt was under the weather(flu?,cold?) but played. Ben tweaked his knee and missed the 2nd half. Gutty comeback win after a 0-11 3-pter 1st half. 8-15 on 3-pters 2nd half helped, along with Ems strong sub and Brockett's play and 3 3s from Jackson.
I would have subbed for Matt, if only for offense/defense but his body language indicated he needed even more frequent rests.

If Royals win only their remaining home games, that should mean hosting at least the 1st semifinal playoff game.

Tim, Royals replay should be available on demand on their website for later viewing.

Nepa, 931 in attendance tonight.

[Rofrog]

I notice the camera man gets lost especially the last two free throws Matt's at the far end the Camera is still pointed at the student section.To make it a 4 point game.Yes Logan had the flu also ben tweaked his knee to start the 2nd half 

[NEPAFAN]

Thanks Ronk! It is a team effort...looking Forward to the injury report tomorrow...

[ronk]

Thanks Ronk! It is a team effort...looking for to the injury report tomorrow...

I think you'll have to do some hacking to get an injury report. 

[Rofrog]

Also students being in town helps attendance also!Should have a nice crowd Saturday and forward!
