WBB: Landmark Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

If the Lady Royals win out, they most likely would have to beat Bowdoin, Tufts, and Amherst in succession.

Um... you forgot a round. What about the semifinals?

Wartburg, St. Thomas... others... before Amherst.

As is said in the math world, necessary but not sufficient to win out; yes, a semifinal win is required, also, to win out. That was for the benefit of the NESCAC chatterers; we haven't had any Wartburgers on this end of the boards.

Just wondering...

Have the Scranton men ever hosted in Danzig's tenure besides the year Ursinus forgot to apply to host & it was given to the Royals?

If that's it, that's one heck of a long time without a mens playoff game inside the Long Center.

Yes, I think @ Baruch(William Paterson) in 06, Gettysburg(Elms) in 08, F&M(Brandeis), William Paterson(Messiah), Brockport(Hobart), and Babson(Baruch).
I'm remembering the Brockport year that the Royals finished high enough in the regional rankings to host but the NCAA had a geographical need to take the Mid-Atlantic's host and give it to the South(Emory).

To top it off Saratoga: that drunk man was a family member of the coaching staff smh.I remember seeing him at alot of royal games in the past.

Rofrog:

I'm assuming the association of the crazy guy is with Cabrini.

Ronk;

There was another road trip by Scranton.

In 2011 they were sent packing to Williams to face Becker 90210

Another first round exit.

That's pretty unbelievable...all these years & not once earning a host site for the hallowed hardwood of the Long Center.

The women have been a blessing and a curse to this fan lol. Maybe they'll build a court devoted to the women's team so both can host.

That won't happen. UWSP has dedicated courts and the NCAA (DIII rules) has indicated they will not allow them to dual host there, either. Can't have exceptions to the rules because it only causes chaos. Also, the rule is in place because they don't want either tournament slighted compared to the other. In some way, administrations would have to make decisions on where resources go or how each is treated. Hard to duplicate both equally. Stevenson, if they ever had the chance, could do a split as well... again, won't be allowed.

Scranton men have been in a position to host on several occasions and the women having priority has thwarted them. There also was one year (2014?) where we all felt Scranton should have hosted and the committee pulled out from them. There was a famous pod at VWC (now VWU; they should have hosted) that had three Mid-Atlantic teams in it; bracketing that year wasn't the best effort.

The Woodruff Dome?

[saratoga]

If Trevor keeps winning at the pace he's established, he'll at least get another office to meet those new recruits and new bleachers in the Long Center while the Dome is being constructed.

I was going to write that I was being sarcastic...but didn't think I needed to.

Anything I post about Trevor is sarcastic.  Except the one about him looking great on the radio.  That was sincere.  And true.

Yeah... I can get you might have been... but you wouldn't believe how many people who aren't following along or whatnot think those are real options... so I try and make sure to cover the bases.
