MBB: Landmark Conference

[Augie2020]

My question is how long before Martin does something ?

I see that Susquehanna beat Drew this past Saturday. Never easy for the Royals in Sellinsgrove...so tonight should be interesting.

My question is how long before Martin does something ?

Never happen. How many coaches have been at one school across the country this long?  They are successful and in contention yearly. It may not be the success of years past, or what many would wish. With that being said, it has been a long minute, since a title and a trip to NCAA.

I think the school is happy with being competitive in the conference, and fighting for a conference title, and 20 wins a season. NCAA is gravy then.

Look just locally at the other D3 schools. Every program would give anything to be at the level the Royals are year in, year out.

I am not taking sides, saying what appears to be so.

Believe me if they can give Bessior the hook they can give Carl.Again (maybe you like this repeat over and over again)and to top it off he loses again in the final minutes lol

[Great Day to be a Royal]

I am not familiar with how the Bessoir era ended

[Augie2020]

Just say for a man(Bessior) that did way more then Carl ever did for this mens program .Toby already had his boy for the program!

[NEPAFAN]

The Lycoming loss, Catholic blow out, and giving up a 7 point lead.last night have been three brutal losses.

Saratoga is Nostradamus in his forecast this year. 

[Augie2020]

Great start to the season 8-0 and then the last six games 1 and 5.When Danzing teams collapse  they truly do last 6 games 1-5 .Being up 7 with 1:09 to go is just a killer to lose  against Susquehanna!So let's move on Etown men come to an empty long center and give Scranton men a run for their money.Hard to pick against the Royals but this team plays like the coach coaches/ Never seen Coach with enthusiasm or pump up his team and it will be the same tomorrow Scranton 74-Etown 70 crossing my fingers!

[NEPAFAN]

Can I ask a question. Is there a strategy in basketball that you have one guy underneath and 4 guards outside the arc not going for offensive rebounds? So many one and done

[Augie2020]

My question is to Coach Danzing?Coach you said we are young!Let me give you facts you start Danzing-Gr Braunstein-Sr,Parland-Jr,McLoughlin-So and the only new player to start is Spatola-Fr.To me it is a cop out again!Young to me is when your 5 starters have less then 2 years together not a Gr,Sr,Jr,So,Fr.

Last year we were young, this year we are young, and what will the mantra be next year?

For what it is worth Susquehanna starts two freshman....

They replaced 2 grads(Dunn and Frauenheim) who could have played there this season but went instead to Widener and Case Western. So, Susquehanna hasn't missed a beat and, if I had known this, would have had them in 3rd place in my projection 2 weeks ago. Also, Drew, unexpectedly, doesn't have Malcolm Newman, a very good guard this season.

Meanwhile....Scranton returns 4 starters from the past several years but they are somehow "young"
Sorry, not true.
You have a veteran team yet you continue to miss every opportunity to emphasize defense.
The Royal braintrust must have taken to heart Allen Iverson's rant..."Defense is for rookies".

[Augie2020]

So Drew (9-6)hits the Electric City tonight to Face Scranton (10-5)@ the Long center.One thing that caught my eye that both teams played against Lycoming Drew beat them by 30 and Scranton lost to Lyco by 3 on an offensive rebound and a wide open 3!Just can't keep bombing away and expect will to do all the rebounding if your going to play 4 guards toughen them up Danzing and make sure they rebound also not just shoot 3s!Will Mc Loughlin is getting pounded like Elphick Condron, Bicknell ,Vitkus and Bokken did in their 4 years!Scranton 70-67 fingers crossed.

[saratoga]

That would be John Vitkus not Virus...but I get the overall theme. 

As for the men tonight...if Drew has their top scorer playing, Drew will pull out the win.
If not, the Royals probably escape.
