WBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

Yes, prayers for Maddy; that was one tough rebound and game-tying bucket in traffic that she garnered before being injured on the same play. Effort plays like that are daggers to the well-being of the opposition. One can shrug off being beaten on a play by superior ability but it's devastating when one lost because someone outhustled you. We'll miss her steals per game also, second only to Sam Rajza on the team.
  Agree that McNulty is getting better and better; especially effective when using a high screen around the foul line. Canio has been so advised for the probable tourney rematch.
The probable is #1 Scranton hosting Moravian/Drew and #2 Etown hosting Catholic in the semis.

quote from Ben leaves some uncertainty on the severity of the injury. Hope she is on the bench tonight!

And, what is the quote?

Nice Nepafan-First day without Maddy they played well (See what coaching does).This team(Moravian beat Etown on this court )and Scranton after that injury loss and OT win.I was not expecting for a blowout game,Wow just Wow Great job Ladies kerp it up!!!

[saratoga]

Bridget getting her touch back the past two games & just taking over has been a huge help.
Kaci being Kaci, Sam doing her thing, Hannah stepping up & a committee group trying to buy time & a few rebounds in the post.
Truly impressive win tonight under conditions that were certainly ripe for an upset.
Nice to see Maddy on the bench & moving pretty good...albeit with crutches. 

[ronk]

 The Royals & Moravian get to do it again next week in the semis.

[saratoga]

Isn't this the format essentially every year...close out with Moravian in the last week of the regular season, they end up fourth, we end up first...we  play in the first round, we win.

Perhaps the Moravian coaching staff was trying to lull the Lady Royals into a false sense of security for next week's game. 

They'll certainly play better than they did tonight.

Boy, Drew had a season of two halves...
A great first half to get things rolling & then the second half things just fell off the cliff.

Regarding Regional Rankings...
In Region 4...surprised to see Stevens ranked ahead of Desales (3 losses vs. 1).

Saratoga it was a plus seeing her walk without crutches also.So the avatar(Referee Tonight is Deidra Chatman out of Oakland,CA she is 6ft 6 she played for Virginia cavaliers back in 2004 .When you saw Sarah or Kaci next to her holy **** she is tall.Just a thought.

[saratoga]

I noticed her & thought I bet she played.
Never knew D1 for the Cavs.
Good research.

[Augie2020]

Saratoga also one of the first players to turn their back to the flag during the national anthem,But she said she regretted it and will never do it again.But man she was tall

DeSales didn't help their SOS by playing 2 Penn St extension team in a tourney plus CCNY; however they should move ahead of Stevens after the win last nite.

DeSales didn't help their SOS by playing 2 Penn St extension team in a tourney plus CCNY; however they should move ahead of Stevens after the win last nite.

I think they were close enough that Stevens 1-0 Head-2-Head put them ahead.  Now that H2H is split 1-1, DeSales has advantages in 3/5 Primary Criteria, even in 1/5, and only 26 points worse in SOS.

I would agree DeSales would move ahead of Stevens.

This is why I referenced it on the show last night.

Well the regular season came to an end today with one upset Drew beating Catholic at Catholic(Wow)!Ronk did u go to the game in DC?

[ronk]

No, I rather watch the Royals doubleheader instead. That's going to hurt Catholic's chance for a Pool C. Looks like I will be going to Catholic Wednesday for the men's semi.
