MBB: Landmark Conference

[saratoga]

If this season does in fact turn out to be an 8 win kind of year for this once proud program, it should come with an engraved retirement watch.

Perhaps a little known fact of Miseri basketball...

Mike Dunleavey, current Governor of the great state of Alaska & graduate of Scranton Central High School, was a pretty darn good basketball player for the Cougars.

After graduating from Miseri, he headed northwest & the rest is history.

I didn't know Mike Dunleavy was from Scranton - maybe they should name a street after him.

[saratoga]

Given the fact that Mike is a Republican, I somehow just don't see that happening in the Electric City. 

Maybe if he becomes President.

All jokes aside, I think they will get to and pass 8. While they lack depth, they do have some good talent. The conference looks like it will beat each other up, and you can imagine them being around a .500 team, though they have shown very little to start the season to indicate that.

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Scranton - Wilkes tonight. There was a time when that was something. And students would make that trip down 81. Tonight, I'd guess under 5 students travel down.

 In my days, usually around 30 Kings students would walk to the @ Scranton game. The crowd in the gym looked forward to their appearance sometime during the preliminary frosh game between the 2 teams. We can't get anyone to walk down from the dorms for the games now.

[saratoga]

Maybe Danzig should come out in a purple tux like Bess did in a big game against Wilkes years ago. 
That guy (Bess) had style & certainly savoir-faire...not to mention 2 National Championships & several other trips to the Final Four & a ton of Sweet 16's.
Meanwhile, we lament of those days of future passed.

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Doc Wodder and O'Malley use to share stories of those days in my coaching courses.
Lord your point on not even getting kids out if the dorms to come to a home game.

Nice showing tonight. I'm rethinking that over/under

[NEPAFAN]

Hey they out scored the Wilkes women!!

[ronk]

Could be more of the same Saturday @ Juniata w/o Will; they have a quality big in Chase Husted and the Royals have struggled there with better teams in the past.

[saratoga]

This team looks so lost out there.
They appear so disorganized & let's face it, beyond Will & Spatola, I think it's safe to say this is what Royal men's basketball is going to look like for the next several years & it's not pretty.
Next exit.....the Twilight Zone.

[CardsFan]

Cards finally got some of those open threes they've been missing to go down tonight, going 12-28 (8 coming in the 2nd half) en route to beating Elizabethtown 98-54. Third straight game taking pretty good care of the ball. Unlikely leading scorer for the Cards tonight with sophomore CJ Ruoff coming off the bench to score 17. Second good game for Ruoff this season. He scored 9 vital points in the win against Stevens.

Elizabethtown was without Rance Russo tonight. Possibly injured?

I see there were a lot of nailbiters across the Landmark tonight.......

Glad I didn't subscribe to Flo!

[NEPAFAN]

Glad I didn't subscribe to Flo!

Would be cool if Flo could do a multi-view so I could watch multiple games at once.

What is wrong with Will?

You thing Klingman smells blood in the water when he brings Goucher to town?

[saratoga]

I think the coaching staff of the Little Sister's of the Poor would smell blood in the water playing Scranton this year. 

As a long time Royal booster & alum told me this week, $%@0>$~Danzig(^&@#!??<^*$<<
