REALLY well designed play that Catholic ran out of that final timeout to free up Jimmy G.  Ball goes into Howard who the defense starts to key in on and then Jimmy curls right around his screen.  Granted, it was a long 3 so extra props to him for hitting hit.

Feels wide open for the championship, should be some good games next week.

As conference play resumes after the break and 11 nonconference games, here's my forecast after the coaches' preseason poll:

2017-18 Landmark Men's Basketball Preseason Poll
Rank   Institution (First Place)   Points
1.   Scranton (7)                    70
2.    Moravian                            45
3.    Susquehanna                    44
4.    Catholic (1)                    42
5.   Juniata                            29
6.   Drew                                 21
7.   Goucher                            12
8.   Elizabethtown                      9

Scranton         9-5
Juniata           9-5
Moravian         9-5
Catholic           8-6
Drew               8-6
Susquehanna   6-8
Elizabethtown   4-10
Goucher           3-11

Juniata should be the only team to get a Pool C bid should they not win the AQ. The AQ winner probably gets no higher than a #3 seed in their 1st round NCAA pod.
  Landmark continues their downward spiral with the 3-year dearth of high-quality players; Jay Howard(current senior) would be the most recent such player. On the positive side, this could be the most competitive season in Landmark history.

Now that the regular season has concluded, post-mortem analysis confirms my prediction that it could be the most competitive season in Landmark history; the top 5 were within 1 game of each other and the 6th place team(Susquehanna) won at least 3 games from the top 5. In addition, my order of finish differed from the actual by no more than 1/2 point for 7(all but Scranton) of the 8 teams while the coaches' poll did so for only 2(Moravian,Catholic) of the 8.
   Looks like Drew plays @ Moravian and Catholic @ Juniata in the semis.

Oh good. At least they had one camera which followed the action!

Ha. I didn't even go and look at the link shared because I just assumed since I noticed the lack of attention on the final shot... they wouldn't have it. Well then. Someone was doing their job. Good.

The NCAA men's basketball regional advisory committees released their third set of rankings, and as expected, the Atlantic Region was among those getting shuffled. Here's the full list: http://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2018/02/men-regional-rankings-third

Sorry to see my Cardinals not advance, and for Jay Howard's last game to feature an injury and a tooth knocked out, but what an amazing career at Catholic.

He finishes as the all time Landmark Conference scoring leader, with 2,122 points.  That's also good for 3rd in Catholic history, and 14th in DC-Maryland-Virginia collegiate history.  It was a pleasure watching him play and get better every year, I hope he can continue to play at the next level.  The Cardinal's Bryson Fonville had a stint in the NBA G League and played in Asia.

Good luck to the remaining two teams.

Wow....finally got a chance to make a comment.

All those Juniata & Moravian posters have had this site blocked for days heading in to todays big game.

I agree Matt...Jay Howard was an outstanding talent for Catholic for what seemed like about 8 years.

I don't think he ever had a bad one against Scranton, that's for sure.

Glad he's finally ready for graduation!  ;)

Congrats to Moravian - should be preseason #1 in the Landmark next season returning more scoring than any team in conference - maybe ETown returns more?

Good luck to Moravian:You will need it if you get by Ramapo you will most likely face Williams(Not an easy place for a W).On another note Bob Casey went to  Scranton prep and playing at Williams (Nice player)Did Danzing try to recruit him?

I thought I heard Danzig say a while ago that Casey use to attend Carl's basketball camps, so I imagine he was recruited, just chose Williams instead.
