anyone know what Mike Lonergan is up to nowadays?

Best I can tell... enjoying home live and commenting on games he's watching on Facebook.

I haven't spoken with Mike since the end of August, right before the excrement finally hit the fan, but I would say it's fair to think that he's meeting with lawyers on a regular basis as well.

Hmm ... hearing some griping about front-page coverage -- just based on the milestone number of wins, it takes about 500 wins to get a separate story on the front page, sometimes even 600. But this was how we referenced the Landmark milestones on our front page, for the record:

"Rivalry games between Calvin/Hope, Williams/Amherst and Stevens Point/Whitewater are a special treat, and it's especially rare when they all happen on the same night. Plus Christopher Newport and Salisbury play another thriller and two coaches hit milestones."

Any questions about editorial decisions can come to Gordon (or me for the historical basis for things) -- no need to gripe about it without getting the facts. There isn't room on the front page for every 400-game or 300-game winner. Same with 1,000 points, even 1,500 points. Even with seven front-page spots, that's a tough spot to crack.

Where's the griping coming from? I don't see it on the Landmark chat site.

I agree with Ronk where is someone griping?

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Maybe they should listen to Hoopsville? Did a 30-minute interview with the 400-win coach and mentioned the 300-win coach. SMH

so you heard complaining about the front page, but it didn't come from this room? What can we do about it?

Preseason Poll
Team Points
1. Susquehanna 60 (4)
2. Catholic 52 (1)
2. Scranton 52 (1)
4. Juniata 41 (2)
5. Moravian 24
6. Drew 17
7. Goucher 15
8. Elizabethtown 11

Ronk's preseason projection

Susquehanna 10-4
Scranton        10-4
Catholic           9-5
Juniata            9-5
Moravian         9-5
E-town            5-9
Drew               2-12
Goucher          2-12

Essentially, the top 5 split with each other, 3 thru 5 lose 1 game each to the 6 thru 8 group, 7 & 8 split with each other and lose both to E-town.

So, after this week's  games, here are the current standings:
Susquehanna   6-2   0.750   616   570      16-3   0.842   1527   1348   8-2   Lost 1
Scranton   6-2   0.750   596   501      14-5   0.737   1397   1212   7-3   Won 3
Moravian   6-2   0.750   656   609      13-6   0.684   1612   1531   6-4   Won 4
Catholic   5-3   0.625   624   611      13-6   0.684   1429   1364   6-4   Lost 3
Drew   4-4   0.500   548   572      10-9   0.526   1429   1360   5-5   Won 1
Juniata   3-5   0.375   582   601      11-8   0.579   1382   1272   5-5   Won 2
Elizabethtown   1-7   0.125   485   581      4-14   0.222   1151   1289   1-9   Lost 2
Goucher   1-7   0.125   521   583      4-15   0.211   1202   1371   2-8   Lost 4



In this week's games, there were 3 outcomes that differed from my preseason projection(Catholic losing @ home to Sus and Jun, D winning @ G; so my revised projection:

Susque          11-3
Moravian        10-4
Scranton          9-5
Catholic           8-6
Juniata            8-6
E-town             4-10
Drew               4-10
Goucher           2-12

This week's Game of the nite:

Wed - Scranton @ Moravian

Sat - Catholic @ Drew


CardsFan

Juniata 1st half offense
12-27 FG (44.4%)
6-10 3pt FG
2-4 FT
0 offensive rebounds

Juniata 2nd half offense
13-23 FG (56.5%)
4-6 3pt FG
19-23 FT
6 offensive rebounds

Last 3 games: give up 53 points in the 1st half to Scranton, give up 57 2nd half points to Susquehanna, give up 49 2nd half points to Juniata. By percentage, Saturday's loss to Juniata was worse defensively than Wednesday night to Susquehanna.

As a side note, through January 27th, Catholic had the 3rd worst 3pt FG defense in the country. With Juniata going 10-16 from deep on Saturday, it may now be the worst nationally.

CUA has a roster of 21 players. 10 of them have made fewer than 10 appearances all season. I wonder what it would take to see if any of them can defend?

While it would be good for the benefit of us fans, one would think that after 3 months of practice, the coach would know which players can defend.

Shout out to Deverna with a nice behind the back pass to Mancuso to beat the shot clock. Shankwheiler with a few nice plays at the rim.

NEPA:

Agree....that pass was pretty impressive.

Can't remember the last time it was stated that a Scranton game in Bethlehem was huge...and it wasn't a women's game we were speaking of.

The new coach at Moravian has certainly lit a fire under the older players left from Coach Walker and has brought in some high energy/nice talent kids himself.

The Royals are finally getting some balanced scoring inside & out & they've picked up their defensive intensity as well.

Should be a good game.

Congrats to Coach Danzig on 300 the other night.



CardsFan

I'll add that I've been really impressed with the improvement of Moravian since coach Potts took over. As has been said, he's really been able to improve the players left to him and bring in talented players. Sophomore Jimmy Murray really torched CUA earlier in the season.

I'm just glad to see another team in this conference take a step forward. There's still a long way to go but it would seem like Moravian is a lock for coaching staff of the year.
