Nice win by the Lady Royals last evening.
Tended to get sloppy at times but nice to see them beat a good team as opposed to getting over-confident with the huge wins they've had vs. some pretty terrible teams.
The defense of both squads was tight all night but Scranton seemed to rely far too much on dribble penetration and with everyone in or around the lane, things got way too crowded in there & that led to excessive turnovers/steals.
All in all, a very nice road win & a pretty exciting finish.
Good prep game for upcoming battles vs. E-town & Catholic.

    It was a good test for Kaci operating against a helping defense; she won't be working against a sole defender in the future. Also for Lamanna and Sloan to adjust to the physicality of defense by college's upper crust teams. Think they both have creative offensive ability and Sloan could see increased playing time. They're setting Lamanna up for late clock looks with a double screen but she needs to take advantage instead of deferring to others. Similar to Bridget Monaghan's freshman year - by February the team needed her to be a top 2 option instead of deferring to upperclassmen.
  Toomey said to be wearing a boot; no word however about Angelini's status. Too bad, since Friday's game @ Mount St Mary would be a neighborhood game for Hannah.
   Mike Strong said to be in attendance at last night's game.
  Elsewhere in the Landmark, Matt Donahue collected his 400th victory in a neighborhood brawl with Marymount in the Jamie Roberts Memorial Tournament. For those unaware, Jamie was an assistant coach with Catholic when she lost her life on a bicycle crosscountry fundraising incident some years ago. I became acquainted with Jamie when she worked out at my fitness center as a  St Mary's(MD) hoopster. Later that same year, I met her again when her team and Scranton played in the Gettysburg Holiday tourney and then a # of times when she was evaluating AAU prospects as a Catholic assistant.
    Etown lost 2 close games on their holiday trip and will drop out of the top 25.

 The board returns just in time for conference playoffs.   :) Will we be seeing remarks from Thomas Aquinas anymore on twitter?

Yes, that might be the source instead of twitter.

there was a comment on a D3hoops column(Ryan Scott's on paywalls?) re Scranton basketball a few days ago from a Thomas Aquinas.

Thought we were done for the year.

I enjoyed catching up on the posts from October and November -- especially the ones about the preseason All-America team. Gordon was very polite in saying why we don't put someone on a preseason All-America team who has never played a D-III game.

Womens basketball is exciting this time of year!Watched Arcadia get there 1st win in conference play with (Beem Soph.)Hitting a 4 pt play and lucky she did because LVC hit a 3 at the buzzer(yesterday).Then tonight caught Wartburg just getting by Duquesne and switched to Coe and Loras women.Personally that lady ref swallows that whistle but that is only my thought and play it out in OT.But great games tonight.

Also shout out to the Coaching staff to get this team ready to play without one of the best players in the Mid Atlantic.Also Freshman(Gorski) stepped in nicely for Kranson tonight.

Per Dean:
Tonight was precautionary, she'll be ready for Saturday.
Lamanna has had her playing time reduced pretty significantly the past several games, not sure what's going on there.
Catholic should be rocking Saturday with both the men & women hosting.
Good to see you back for the playoff run Augie, your self imposed exile had me worried.
