I didn't know Mike Dunleavy was from Scranton - maybe they should name a street after him.
Perhaps a little known fact of Miseri basketball...
Mike Dunleavey, current Governor of the great state of Alaska & graduate of Scranton Central High School, was a pretty darn good basketball player for the Cougars.
After graduating from Miseri, he headed northwest & the rest is history.
Misericordia's men's program started in the early 1980's. Marywood's program came along in the mid-90's.Yeesh. About as bad a loss as I can remember. Winless program which will cease to exist in 3 months. Ranks up with 03 loss to Marywood.That was a miserable season which also included a home loss to Miseri when they & Marywood had only had a men's team for 10 years. The Royals had 2 returning starters from the team that had won twice in the NCAA tourney the year before but 1(Brian O'Donnell) broke his hand and missed the next 5 weeks of the season. The other(Ryan Rogan) transferred out 2 weeks later.
Mason Thompson showed some offense in the 2nd half after fouling 3 times in 3 mins in the 1st half.
Back door cuts killed them plus at least 3 inbound passes intercepted under their own basket.
Hopefully, Will returns for the start of the conference season in 8 days.
Well, it seems like you are in the right room.
The athletic department needs to provide a 2 semester internship each year to Marketing students or others, with the best ideas to implement internal interest...in all teams.
However, the lack of support for men's basketball is especially noticeable & has needed attention for years.
One of "lost" members of the brotherhood will be coming home Saturday & will probably drop 24 on his ex mates.
Penn State's Whiteout game aside, students at many levels of play, have lost interest in not just attending, but even following sports in general. I was in a group of primarily young men, talking about Hurts and Mahomes and the upcoming Super Bowl rematch. They looked at me as if I had five heads and six eyes. Now, when the discussion turned to the Middle East.........they couldn't shut up (and you wouldn't have wanted to have heard the commentary.......think delusional libs).
I think that the days of gyms and stadiums packed with students is gone and never coming back.
But to be honest, I'm more concerned about the future WWIII than I am about getting 500 students back in the Long Center and other PA college gyms. But I'm old and getting cranky!
Fair!But, you are right, it is a thankless job.
If you can release the Volleyball and Soccer why not basketball.
You might be aware that those are fall sports, and basketball is a winter sport. Apples and oranges.But because I put up 22 question marks and 16 exclamation.You want to argue.
Actually, the only reason I interjected was your calling out the SID by name. That is a thankless, underpaid, overworked job.
Sad news for Mailsy and Coach C and others: We've learned that Cabrini will be closing after the upcoming 2023-24 academic year.There but for the grace of God go I.

Brief change of topic but congrats to Miseri's baseball team winning a berth in next week's College World Series.
Meanwhile, our Royals have played in 1 NCAA tournament in 40 years.
Enjoy the experience Lefty and Chuck!
I'm thinking that when Trevor was hired as Scranton's WBB that he was Miseri's MBB HC, had never coached women, and probably never would have thought of applying for the Scranton women's position unless his former AD broached the possibility. But I could be wrong.As Saratoga pointed out, this statement couldn't be more wrong.
It could be more wrong. Ronk could have said he was Marywood's Assistant coach and had coached women all his life.

Keystone does have a former player in the original class of the baseball HOF; so they are a "blue-blood" in that sense.Maybe his boyhood home of Factoryville is their 'landmark.'
