MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

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. 

Why is this game at 6pm? It may be over by 6:05

There isn't anything that is labeled "watch", but there was a little dodad that I clicked on and brought up the Marywood tv link.    Thanks

Correct...
Many schools have a simple click that says watch.
Marywood has the referenced do-dad symbol that will do the trick.

The Lady Royals can press M-wood into submission if they want.
However, my guess is that Ben plays nice & uses the bench whenever he has the chance.

There are tough games as you don't want to win by 50 yet you also don't want to play sloppy with kids just running up & down taking undisciplined shots.

Hoping for something resembling a competitive game.

Congrats!

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Well deserved!  Great kid!

[saratoga]

Agreed.
Some great options out there for the Royals future.

Now imagine a full student section and a pep band

The athletic department needs to provide a 2 semester internship each year to Marketing students or others, with the best ideas to implement internal interest...in all teams.

However, the lack of support for men's basketball is especially noticeable & has needed attention for years.

One of "lost" members of the brotherhood will be coming home Saturday & will probably drop 24 on his ex mates.

Penn State's Whiteout game aside, students at many levels of play, have lost interest in not just attending, but even following sports in general. I was in a group of primarily young men, talking about Hurts and Mahomes and the upcoming Super Bowl rematch. They looked at me as if I had five heads and six eyes. Now, when the discussion turned to the Middle East.........they couldn't shut up (and you wouldn't have wanted to have heard the commentary.......think delusional libs).

I think that the days of gyms and stadiums packed with students is gone and never coming back.

But to be honest, I'm more concerned about the future WWIII than I am about getting 500 students back in the Long Center and other PA college gyms. But I'm old and getting cranky!

Well, it seems like you are in the right room.

EJ Matthew-Spratley no longer on roster. Anyone got a scoop?

[saratoga]

Something is not right with this program...nor has it been for some time.

[CardsFan]

Having survived twice in their first 3 games, CUA lost 65-63 to Hood College today. Cards were down by as many as 15 in the 2nd half before mounting a comeback. Two good looks from three in the final minute did not fall.

Quality of opponent has been much higher for CUA so far this season than last season. Cards have played Mary Washington, Stevens, and Hood already. However, at this moment the Cards are not playing like a top 25 team. They have committed 57 turnovers through 4 games, with many of them resulting from players traveling, stepping on the sideline, or simply throwing it out of bounds. I would say the Cards' only complete performance so far was the Stevens game.

Still early, but right now there is work to be done if the Cards hope to seriously contend for the Landmark title.

 I'm sensing a dropoff in physical talent this season throughout the Landmark such that coaching, execution and lack of injuries would be bigger factors than normal in determining the champion. Looks like a competitive battle just to be 1 of the 6 in the postseason tourney.

EJ Matthew-Spratley no longer on roster. Anyone got a scoop?

Watched the Scranton/Stevens game and the story I heard was that the coaching staff dismissed him from the team. From what I was told there were repeated conflicts and challenges with Matthew-Spratley going back to last year and the coaches had given him numerous warnings and chances to comply with team rules. Sounded as if it came to a head this past week.

If he is indeed done, that is obviously a big blow for Scranton. I can tell you that on the printed program for Saturday's game, his name was not on it. Next man up.
