Also before I get back to work-They are playing great defense also not sure but they should be in the top 40 in defense.Have a good night all!!!

Your charade is both comical & entertaining.
I believe the comments by Ronk & I have been more on development & execution as opposed to points scored.
But hey, you keep rocking "lady'.

thank god for scranton fans keeping this board "lively"!

Never had any success getting a game with Amherst for the lady Royals, but Amherst has traveled today to little Dallas,PA to take on Miseri.

Mike Strong was able to bring GP down to Scranton his last year at St. Lawrence.
Then the Royals played his Hamilton team in the first round of the NCAA tournament the following year.
GP was able to turn around a 10 win Hamilton team into a tournament team in his only year there.
Then he was all set to go to Drew & that summer the Amherst job opened up & the rest is history.
The Drew folks are still probably wondering, what if.

Look for a lot of shakeup in the women's poll this week (particularly in the bottom half) with the teams ranked in the following positions losing:

1, 7, 12 (twice), 15 (twice), 16, 19, 21, 22, 23

Is this the week that the Lady Royals return to the top 25???

Fingers crossed Tim.
Two teams in front of them & Smith has been playing pretty well of late too.
Should be interesting.

Also played Gromacki at St Lawerence to go to the final four!We played Kings first game(Had a great center)Forgot her name but we had Kelly Halpin.

I think that was his first or second year there also!Great coach he is !!Very surprised No D1 came after him or did they?

ronk · February 01, 2022, 09:29:49 PM

I imagine they did come after him but he probably prefers the Amherst environment for his family.

Got it! The center was Joanne Polkoski I think she was a local also.Whitten had some good teams.But that game up at St Lawerence was a classic against Kings nothing bad about St Lawerence or Gromacki but that game was much easier the 2nd night.Then everyone knows the story at Danbury !!Washimgton U even though the first time played better and kept it close the 2nd time Fischer, Rodgers just to much!

Non Basketball took me awhile to find the landmark board .What is the reason for splitting it up into regions? Did the NCAA also do it this way?

ronk · February 02, 2022, 09:35:43 AM

Yes, the NCAA expanded to 10 regions form previous 8; the old Mid-Atlantic region is mostly region 5 now; old East is 3, and old Atlantic is 4.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · February 02, 2022, 02:20:57 PM

It's always been split by regions, we just have new ones now, with new names (numbers). It's going to take a while for all of us to get used to it.

Royals85-Its called fundamental basketball that Saratoga and Ronk are talking about!Just like last night missed layups,throwing inbound passes to the other team when you have the lead up 3!I get it 20 games in and not corrected is a ticket to a first round exit in playoffs or NCAA Tournament.They have to inbound and protect the lead better and finish at the end of the game.
