Beat me to it. Glad to hear Coach Danzig is feeling better.

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

Assume they have a case, they had to Forfeit their league game, according to their schedule.

With the Scranton coaching staff looking on last nite at Colucci's game, they feel it's important to show continued interest in a recruit, even after receiving a commitment. I've seen this many times when evaluating girl prospects - assistants watching committed prospects to lessen the chances that the recruit will change her mind to another school for perceived lack of interest.
By doing so, Scranton did pass on the opportunity to scout its opponent tomorrow(Cortland) in person(also Tuesday nite) but guessing they can scout well enough from a video replay.

I can just hear Carl Danzig in his best Alan Iverson voice responding to Ronk about missing the opportunity to 'scout' their next opponent.

Scout?
Scout?
We talking about scouting?
Not a game.
Not a game.
Not a game.
We talking about scouting.
Not a game.
We talkin about scouting, man.

Ronk:

Wondering if they were killing two birds with one stone, maybe they are recruiting his teammates or some of his opponents...

[ronk]

 Possibly.

[NEPAFAN]

Either that or securing a transfer from St. Joes or Villanova....

[NEPAFAN]

Men's game cancelled for Saturday. Women still on.

[ronk]

 I think Juniata men had a game with Carnegie-Mellon last nite that was canceled for covid.

[ronk]

 Juniata men's game has been rescheduled for 1/17 7 PM.

[saratoga]

Nothing like a 4 hour trip on a Monday afternoon.
Play a game at 7:00 & then back on 81 S. to 80W. for the return 4 hour trip.
They should be pulling in to their gym in Huntingdon around 2:00am.
The resilience of youth.

On top of that snow coming!Why not have this game on a Saturday -%let the kids stay over and enjoy it ?

[ronk]

 All the remaining Saturdays are already taken with conference games.

[ronk]

 Wow! Only 1 turnover for the Royals. Looks like it was Hartrick and Graffam in the warmups unis that weren't available to play. Fr WBB players Morgan and Ashlyn did an excellent job with the videostream camera.

[saratoga]

That was probably the most complete game by a Royals team against a decent team in at least the past 10 years.
The inside/out game was firing all night, some pretty good defense, rebounding, assists & more dunks than a Globetrotters game.
If Danzig & crew can bottle this one for future use, they may be on to something.
