WBB: Landmark Conference

[Augie2020]

NYU lost its second game in a row!

[Tim the Enchanter]

That should put Scranton at 4.  It will be interesting to see if the voters keep NYU in the top 10 now...

Bad night for Bridget tonight!In my years watching her never seen her so short on all her shots like today -She hit 1-16 FG % and 0-4 from beyond the 3pt range and only had 4 pts.This is what you call a perfect Trap game!It was truly a bad night of shooting  31.6% fg and 31% 3pt range and a surprise 15-15 from the free throw.I will always take an ugly win over a one point loss anyday.Even though the Ladies shot poorly today their defense and rebounding  picked them up  and won by 16 over a tough Susquehanna team.Im not sure if the coach from Susquehanna coaches like this every game Susquehanna woman would not be 5-10.She was pumped!

good production from the Landmark...Dean Corwin and Wes Simmons (from Susquehanna); which was simulcast on WUSR. They interviewed the Landmark Commish, would said they would try and do this again next year with the teams that didn't participate. She also talked to Dave Martin about the Moravian band in attendance and trying to get them to stay for the remaining games.

I have been asking for a small pep band at the royal games for some time, agree with all that it would add to the atmosphere.

I just submitted by ballot.  I had Scranton 4 and NYU 11.

Agreed...Wes did a great job with Dean giving the viewers nice insight into the game.
For those that may have missed his intro, Wes played HS ball at Scranton Prep then played for Coach M. at Susquehanna.

I was bored so i sat down and went through how many D3 schools I have been at!Out of 10 regions only region I have not seen a school or gym in Region 9.I have seen at least one game at a school in all other  regions.So I have been at over 70 different d3 schools to watch a game not including Las Vegas Puerto Rico ,Florida and Nashville for holiday tournaments and 3 d2 schools we played at.One school no longer exist that Scranton played against was Upsala.Im still young hopefully add another 70 schools to the list if the Royals or Lady Royals play them.Oh yeah add the Palestra (Cathedral of Basketball) to the list.Just a Royal fan that likes the D3 game.

[NEPAFAN]

Were the Lady Royals ever ranked #1 in the Top 25? Can we have our research assistant and historian look into that?

[Augie2020]

Yes and Mt St Mary's beat them!Just became the new number 1 that day (trap game it was)Went to Newburgh and got pummeled by 20

[Augie2020]

In local news Scranton Mens Soccer picked up a great recruit today.He was the leading goal scorer (72)in the nation as a Junior!Like alot of recruits many offers from D1,2,3 out of Holy Cross Ron Prislupski!Great pickup  for the men's soccer program

[saratoga]

The Lady Royals may have another serious game on their hands tonight at Drew.
Scranton would probably win this game 9 out of 10 tries but you just never know if tonight might be the one where they just never get into a rhythm or flow.
All things considered, I'll still go with the Lady Royals & 12.

Several other big games tonight...
E-town at Catholic. One of those teams will have 2 quick losses.

And, Williams at Amherst.
No matter how much more talent & depth Williams might have, GP owns the Ephs.
Will that trend continue?

[saratoga]

Another big game in the MAC...Desales at Stevens.
I'm going upset special here & giving the Ducks the nod in this one.

[Augie2020]

Yesterday game against Juniata was a no contest but it was a good way for Coach to use his bench.So out of that I see a possibility that besides the regular 3 he has coming off the bench. He could easily add 3 more and the 3 I think he can use right away Ashlyn Bender she is lengthy and can become a guard if you need it!I have been saying this but Morgan Brewer also plays well and is not afraid to take it inside and her dribbling is superb and then Jenna Sloan from the 6 minutes I've seen she can handle the pressure wish she would shoot but she was pass first player yesterday .But I think them 3 can help out the bench today.But that is me and that is why Coach Obrien is the Coach and a great one at that .

 Unsure why Jenna was taken out at the 4 min mark yesterday; it's important for a frosh to play and find out what she can do at the college level and build some confidence in addition to meshing with 4 other teammates. I'd like to see what she can do to improve the team.
  Wednesday's game with Moravian will feature a former prospect, Tessa Zamolyi, a transfer from Miseri, She can do it all at the D3 level.

[Augie2020]

Yes saw  Moravian at the Palestra was not impressed with both teams Moravian,Drew!I'm not sure why Coach took her out look to me she was sucking air at the end of the bench.So maybe just getting over being sick needs to build her up.Im just saying what i saw.
