WBB: Landmark Conference

[saratoga]

Tim:
Looking at the remaining games, Catholic & E-town didn't split their series (at least, not yet) as they play at E-town on Wednesday.

Right. They lost to Etown in the first game. But if Scranton wins today, the only way Catholic can tie them in yhe standings is splitting the series with Etown (and Scranton, for that matter) by winning their games next week.

Love being wrong on this game! 
If the Lady Royals could come out on fire from the start like they did today, it would certainly make their lives easier.
I have never publicly complained about officiating in a long, long time but whoever is the assigner for these games needs to take these 3 off of any additional games of consequence.
Absolutely terrible.
Fantastic win on the road in a real gut check game.
If you learn anything from todays game it should be...get the rebound yourself & don't leave it up to the ref to determine who touched it last.
Well done, enjoy the ride home.

This is the type of game the one who assigns officials to the games need to watch.Scranton big fat zero free throws to Etowns 18 not one free throw in the first half!Second half not so good!This game reminded me up in Rochester when thry shot 33 free throws to Scrantons 1(Shawn Gallagher).So my question is how can you have this type of game does one team play with hands and the other not?Well they won Hoping Angellini is okay thoughts and prayers with you young lady.

What happened to Angelini?

What happened to Angelini?

It looked like she came down pretty hard on her right knee going after a loose ball with a minute left in the game.  She hobbled off the court and couldn't put much pressure on it, but she was able to get off the court without assistance.

 Hannah started the game with a soft brace on her leg; didn't remember her wearing it Wednesday @ Drew; maybe she tweaked it @ practice since then. Anyhow, in the final minute in a scramble for a loose ball, she(re)injured it. Couldn't put any weight on it going to the treatment room or coming out afterwards. Couldn't believe that there weren't crutches or a wheelchair to move her to the team bus.
  I consider Hannah the most valuable on the team after Abby and Bridget, since her skill set hasn't been replaced by anyone on the bench up to this point. This is a considerable loss; hopefully, temporary.

You would think crutches & a wheelchair would be standard operating necessities for any college sponsoring athletic competition.
I watched the play Hannah was injured on multiple times & it just looks like she got tangled up and landed in a way that might have hyper-extended her knee.
A tough loss indeed as she was gaining more & more confidence in her shot.
Hope the magic of Scranton's PT department get's her up & ready for the Catholic game next Sat. & beyond.

2nd regional rankings come out this wednesday?

2nd regional rankings come out this wednesday?

Yes, and on Thursday the NCAA reveals the top 16 teams in both women and men.

[saratoga]

Ok...just throwing this out there.
Should there be no upsets in the Landmark playoffs...beside the automatic qualifier, could this be the year the league gets 2 at-large teams?
If the Lady Royals win out against either Catholic or E-town, I could see both those schools getting a bid.
Looks like both those schools will square up again after this Wednesday evening in a first round playoff matchup.
That's getting to know one another.
However, let's take care of business with Susquehanna first. 

[ronk]

 Or 3 Pool C bids if Drew wins the AQ.

Wonder what the staff will do tomorrow re the Hannah situation:
start Maddie H with more playing time for Carly/Jenna/Leah/the frosh and Bridget doing the ballhandling;
or try Allie as the starter/ballhandler with no other significant change?

Got to prep for the near time future!

[saratoga]

If there is an upset & Drew wins the the AQ, then I think only Scranton & 1 of the others get in...or have an argument.
Three pool C's plus an upset AQ may be too much to ask the folks in Indianapolis.
As for your options posed for tomorrow...even if Hanna is deemed medically cleared...I'd sit her.
Go with your Option A.
Start MH & don't be afraid to play Leah & Morgan if you're looking for points or AL if you need some ball control.

[Augie2020]

Just looking at all time honorees for team of the week!Im surprised in my eyes the greatest player to wear the UofS uniform for women was never on that list (player of the week)Taryn Mellody?

[saratoga]

Ok...the actual "real" first Regional rankings will be out later today.
Here's my guess as to how things may shake out.
For what it's worth:

1.Univ. of Scranton-21-2 (why not)
2.Messiah-20-2
3.Gettysburg-20-3
4.Catholic-19-2
5.Johns Hopkins-19-3
6.E-town-18-4
7.York-17-5
8.Drew-15-6
9.Clarks Summit-19-4

I chose Clarks Summit over Widener just because this team is no push over even though their conference is less than challenging.
They have some kids that can play with anyone.
Hope they get noticed.
