MBB: Landmark Conference

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Preseason poll out. I thought the Landmark did away with these. A welcomed return. Royals slated at 4, which sounds about right.

[NEPAFAN]

Happy Game Day! Hope everyone got their Flo Sports subscriptions in order!!!

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Be there in person. Here's to a good season!  Go Royals!

Just got my tickets from StubHub.
I'll be sitting right behind the Pep Band...that's all they had left.
Should be a dandy. 
Go Purp!

Nice win by the Royals.

As for Flo-Sports technology...the broadcasts are essentially as one review put it, "run by the winners of third place in an 8th. grade science fair".
I did not see any improvement in quality or production.
In fact, some of the same issues that have plagued Royal broadcasts in the past are still evident.
Dean sounded like he was broadcasting the game from a submarine somewhere off the coast of southern Argentina & the camera person should be informed you can adjust the lens to bring the court & players a bit closer so it doesn't appear we are watching a game on Pluto via the Hubble telescope.

On the other hand, I flipped to the Marywood/Wilkes women's game to see how they looked since the Lady Royals have both coming up & the Marywood production was a million times better.
The picture was bright & clear, the play by play was spot on volume wise & they offer different camera angles such as higher up in the stands, from the floor & under the basket.

Not sure what FloSports is supposed to be bringing to the table for the privilege of paying but so far it appears to be, in the words of the great Edwin Starr...absolutely nothing.

I have to admit, one of the better posts in recent memory. I appreciate it. I had a few good laughs.

 Surprised that Mason Thompson wasn't in the rotation and was hoping 1 of the frosh was good enough to play right away ala Spatola and EJ last season.

[ronk]

 Stephen Braunstein with 18 pts for Stevens against Catholic today; he'll be playing in the Long Center next Saturday. Could have used his 3-pt shooting today against Farmingdale.

Hanley looks very good thus far this season. Is there a scenario where he gets on the court at the same time as McLoughlin?


Also, is there a return policy on my FloSports subscription? Mount Union up next on the schedule.

I'd play him at the same time in place of Khoza(4 rebs in 2 games, so far); let Khoza be the sub for Will or Hanley

[saratoga]

Hanley has to start.
Will get's in foul trouble not because of dumb fouls but because he has no help on the weak side and he tries to do too much.
Get him a partner down low who's not afraid to bang & help out & it will be a win/win.
There will certainly be games when 1 or both get in trouble but that's when Danzig get's to earn his salary by coaching kids up.

I'm hoping to watch the Marywood videostream of tonight's Lady Royals game but there isn't a link posted on the Marywood schedule. How were u able to watch the Wilkes-Marywood game?

Go to the M-Wood basketball home page.
Then go to schedule, scroll to the game vs. Scranton & click watch.
I think it will be pretty evident their broadcasts are far better than what we get to pay for.

Another game on at 6:00 that will get some added interest in the Scranton area is Kansas at Penn St.
The Lady Lions have 2 Scranton players in Kylie Lavelle & Moriah Murray getting considerable time.
