WBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

   Hoopsville advertising Scranton(presumably, Coach O'Brien) as 1 of the interviews on Thursday's show(1-3 pm); it's usually available on demand, if missed live.

Great interview Coach Obrien and as always Dave great job!Last week Royals played against a very physical Catholic team and tomorrow night will play against a 13-0 E town team.Reminds me of the Kaufmann,Strong era.But about the game tomorrow against ETown should be another tough game.Ladies need to contain Mc Nulty and clamp down on defense and hopefully they get the W.But the Coach for E town is doing a great job building that program up
So will see Go Lady Royals .

good crowd for the ladies...and a good win.

@Drew who I believe has one loss this season in midweek match up

I think Moravian will add another loss to Drew's record tomorrow in the Palestra; each team has a former prospect of mine, Joey Myers with Drew and Tessa Zamolyi with Moravian.

What an absolute pleasure to watch Ben's offensive sets run by the ladies.
They work hard with their constant motion & cuts which lead to so many easy baskets.
This is true basketball with the talent he has and he's getting them all in great spots to score.
So much nicer to watch than the unorganized run & gun offense of the past 3 seasons under the Pitt asst.
Their defense is a total team effort with great switches & weak side help.
Maddy Ryan is like a machine out there and has to be the most improved player in the league to this point.

[NEPAFAN]

So you're telling me coaching matters? 

[ronk]

 Just wish Hannah would take more advantage of the offensive movement; she's athletic enough to get 10' pullups in the lane but defers too much to others.

[Augie2020]

Agree -but we have 5 starters and she does it best in distrubting the ball and all those little things like rebounds,steals and defense that does not show up.Her and Sam are what you call Sneaky players and they are great fit on this team!

[saratoga]

Coaching matters???
Only for the women.........the men are on top of their game & are in great hands. 

As for Hannah...I'm sure she has the green light as she did in the Tufts game.
Wish she's shoot a bit more as well as it gets her into the overall flow but she has to make it happen.
Sometimes too unselfish but is happy distributing & that's what counts.

7.Trine
8.Rochester
9.Hope
10.Desales

Where would you place UChicago?  #11?  Personallly, I would take Hope out of the top 10 entirely, place the Flying Dutch at #11 and place UChicago at #9.  The loss to Albion yesterday was the first time that Hope has lost to a team other than Trine in over a year.  Moreover, Hope never had a lead in the game and seemed to be really out of sync, IMO, for the first time in a while.  Albion controlled that game from start to finish yesterday.

Scranton seems all right at #5.

Last time Hope lost to anyone other than Trine was almost 4 years ago, vs. Wartburg in the 2018-'19 NCAAs.  Maybe Hope seemed off (27% shooting) but give credit to Albion, they played a very good game.  Massey still has Hope at #2 but that seems too high, I have no issue with #11.  I'd flip Scranton and NYU.  Smith seems too high to me but not sure who I'd move up instead at this point.  Should be interesting the rest of the way!

Assuming everyone holds serve today, I agree with your top 6.  I don't think Trine should move up 4 spots for beating two teams that are a combined 5-27, nor moving DeSales down a spot.  I could see Rochester leapfrogging DeSales into 7 and DeSales moving up to 8. Hope at 9 seems right to me, and then either Trine or Chicago at 10.

[NEPAFAN]

If anyone is traveling to the Palestra today and the Scranton social afterwards and could provide a recap it would be greatly appreciated.

Should be a great day for the Landmark!

[saratoga]

I would have Chicago at 11 after the NYU win or even 10 & move Desales to 11.
Smith may be high at this point but they continue to win & they've played like they deserve to be there.
Just some thoughts as there obviously isn't as much wiggle room as you get closer to the top.

Too bad the UofS athletic dept. didn't put together an alumni bus trip to Philly for today's game,
especially considering the cocktail social they are hosting after the game.
Not a problem for alums in the Philly area but a pain with parking & then a 2 hour drive north for those back in the great Northeast.
