Thanks for the update. What a year...

Drew cancels the remainder of its season but has not ruled out the conference championship:

If they are cleared to play, they'd be the #1 seed & Royals the 2.  If not, would the Landmark have a 2/3 game with Catholic/Juniata and the winner to play Scranton, who would move into the 1 seed by default?

Wonder how long they'll give Drew to commit? There's a play-in game on Tuesday on the women's side that wouldn't be needed if Drew drops out.

 Waves of runs on both sides led to lead changes throughout the game. Better offensive discipline would lessen the need for such runs. End of regulation strategy questionable: 18 secs remaining, Royals up 2, Braunstein w 4 fouls, Monaghan shooting a foul shot - why is Braunstein in the game in danger of committing a 5th foul; if Brian makes the FT to put them up 3, Scranton should foul after some secs to prevent a tying 3 by Catholic. Instead, Braunstein commits his 5th and is out of the game.
  Catholic ties it up after its 2 FTs with 5 secs remaining. Scranton uses its last T/O at endline instead of getting the ball inbounds to midcourt, using its T/O then and running a inbounds play in the frontcourt with a better chance of a game-winning shot.
  Wondering if either Scranton team will be allowed/want to play in possible postseason tourneys?

Also was a SNAFU at the end of regulation with the time clock starting as the ball was rolling on the Royals in bound, I think they could have had a better shot at that point.

Catholic is loaded and young, should be back next year and the year after that.

The Royal's won that game in spite of Danzig's decisions or lack thereof.
Also wonder what happened to Peter Hartrick who did a great job for all of the 9 minutes he played.
Once taken out, Danzig forgot about him.
Just like Trevor breathed new life into the woman's program, I think we are at that point for the men as well.

I think he was ready to check in during double OT , but Ems got a breather with some time outs and ended up staying in. I could be wrong.

 The Royals made a big comeback in the 2nd half to take the lead in the final seconds of regulation, only to have Drew tie it up and then win in OT. Shooting 4 of 22 on 3-pt attempts was their undoing but their shots were relatively open, just didn't fall; they kept out of foul trouble and turnovers were below normal.
  Still, the Royals were in good position in the final secs of regulation, up 3 and shooting a FT but they continued(ala Wednesday's semifinal game) to defy the basketball laws of probability by not intentionally fouling before Drew could take a possible game-tying 3-pt attempt.
  Best wishes to any of the graduating seniors who won't be returning next year.

I'm Afraid Logan Bailey won't be returning. If so Scranton is down to 10 players on the roster. Drew and Catholic are young and loaded. Susquehanna should be good. Next year will be interesting.

After 20 years of coaching, if he doesn't see the risk/reward in trading 2 points for 3, on the road & with under 10 seconds to play, he never will.
Scranton is no longer a feared team even in the Landmark let alone regionally or, God forbid, nationally.
This is what the future of Royal basketball looks like...occasionally make it to the title game of the Landmark.
Then, it's over.

 Congrats to the AD, coaches, and players of both basketball teams for getting thru the season w/o covid downtime. Haven't seen any word whether they'll try to extend the season with games with others looking to play with similar circumstances.

Also congrats to Drew's tournament MVP Lybrant Robinson. He hit the tying three at the end of regulation and then scored 10 of his 31 points in OT.

He was an exciting player at Del Val. High energy, unafraid to shoot or defend anyone.

Glad he's found success.
