MBB: Landmark Conference

[Tim the Enchanter]

Congrats to Ryan on the coaching win today. Don't believe it is his first as head coach, I think last year or the year before he stepped in for Carl.

I saw that Carl wasn't on the sidelines but wasn't in a position to have the sound on this afternoon.  Did Dean and Harry talk about his absence?

Carl missed a game @ Moravian; Ryan might have won that game.

Dean said during the  game that Carl tested positive this morning and Ryan negative.

 Just watched the Royals' OT victory on demand after getting home too late from knee replacement surgery to watch it live. They catch a break in OT when Cabrini is called for a blocking foul when it could have been an offensive foul on Jackson. The Royals then built up an insurmountable lead for the remainder of the OT.
  Did disagree with Coach Ryan's end of OT strategy to inbound the ball to Tahaj(50% FT shooter). When the defense is going to foul, get it to your best shooters(Braunstein,Danzig,Ems).
  Happy to see Lambert hit the big3; hard to believe he could score 2300 pts in hi school yet struggle previously this season, On the other side of the ball, he played very good defense in his extended time today.
  Mason continues as a strong finisher and Hartrick with quality minutes.

Yeah Harry also brought up Carl being "Wally Pipped", joking of course. But somewhere Saratoga was smiling when he heard that while wrapping those  Christmas presents.

Royals also may have gotten a break on a made 3 pointer in OT, Cabrini was claiming it hit a wire near the hoop...

NEPA:
In all seriousness, I know two people that had Covid & from their descriptions of what that was like, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
On the other hand...retirement can be a joyous time.
In fact, I seriously recommend it for some people.

I hope that Carl is recovering well! 

Has anyone learned anything more about the second Royals commit last week?

Was there another announcement after Colucci on the 14th? If so, I missed it.

There were two announcements on twitter:  one on the 13th and one on the 14th (which would be around the time that the Early Action Admissions decisions go out so it makes sense if they're close together). 

I hope you're recovering well, Ronk!

 Thanks for the well wishes from everyone. Should be driving by the Goucher game in 3 1/2 weeks when i can check in with the coaches about recruiting, player parents, and Dave McHugh.
According to Gabriel on the Centennial board, Susquehanna had an impressive win over Ursinus last nite. Dominic Dunn was a star in the making 2 years ago before an injury late in the season and missing last year for covid.

Hope Scranton is ready for that Susquehanna press.

Yes, 2nd commit to Royal-land is out there , haven't been able to figure out who it is.

Danzig could have a D1 Top 20 roster & Frankie would still beat him.
He'd have a kid named Valentino Valentine drop 65 on the Royals.
In all his years coaching, he's rarely ever been able to bring in a true point beside Randy Arnold & thus, the mystery to the RiverHawk press will not be unlocked again this year.
The excitement that started out so promising four years ago with names like Mancuso, Bailey, DiVerna, Danzig etc. etc. has just melted away like a snowman in April.

Looks like Drew is going to knock off Desales. Watching Yeshiva Il Wesleyan on 325-1 Direct TV.

The Kings game has been postponed.

Kind of odd that the King's women were able to play at home today but the men couldn't?

Nice write-up on Scranton commit Nick Colucci this morning:
