D3datacast posted their current standing of NPI ranking which will be used for at-large selections(pool C). Scranton is #21 overall and #10 in pool C. Catholic is #30 overall but projects to the pool A Landmark berth.

 Already 1 voter has placed the Royals @ #22 on his ballot this week and another #24. Voting is usually released later tonight.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on Yesterday at 11:28:22 PMIs there anyone in here besides Scranton fans? LOL I scrolled back a few pages and didn't see anything, but anyone know anything about Catholic's Jamie Ntiamoah? Seems he hasn't played since the beginning of December. Aside from Catholic, Drew and the improving Scranton, Elizabethtown caught my eye with their impressive record and wins over F&M and Drew. However, did the real E-town show up this weekend? Double digit losses to Scranton and Wilkes...

https://d3datacast.com/conference-ratings/land/

NPI has Scranton as the Pool C #10 team and Catholic in as the Pool A. After two weekend losses, E-town is down to Pool C #24, just outside the 21 Pool C bids and Drew sits at #34.

Ntiamoah is still on Catholic's roster, but I don't know why he hasn't played recently. Scranton & Catholic play this Saturday; maybe the broadcaster will mention his absence, but he rarely does for unavailable players.

 Remarkable victory for the Royals @ Susquehanna 75-65, despite allowing 28 offensive rebounds. Susque made their 1st 3-pt attempt, them missed their last 19 such attempts. Sammy Tornabene in foul trouble most of the game although he managed to escape fouling out. Hamilton Roth filled in well in a reserve role.
Will be a 3-way tie for 1st if Drew beats Catholic tomorrow.

Quote from: Augie2020 on January 09, 2026, 06:24:14 PMJust hope Jenna Sloan is okay. If not it will be a freshman stepping in or do you go with Bennett, Gorski,Kranson,Romanowski, Lamanna or which we saw at Etown  Talutto or Raguso Kranson,Gorski,Romanowski,Lamanna. That is what is so great when you have depth but I hope it was just a cramp and Jenna is okay and ready to go

 Not a cramp, but believed to be a condition she's been playing through all season. Hopefully, the extra day off will allow Jenna to play. Otherwise, probably Talutto to start and Raguso, Francione, and/or Stoupakis to join the rotation.

Quote from: Augie2020 on January 08, 2026, 02:04:32 PMI think they said 2018-19

 That was the season that the combined basketball programs were undefeated until 5 Jan; may have led the nation in length of time going unbeaten from season start.

 Suggested to Coach Kauffman(winner of 2 National titles) that she go in during halftime and give both teams a talking after that 20-20 1st half.  She seemed to be considering the idea.

Quote from: saratoga on January 05, 2026, 08:28:31 PMAnyone know why the Royals are playing at E-town prior to the Lady Royal game at 7:00?
Usually, if the Scranton women are on the road on Wednesday, then the men are home.
Saturday has always been the double-header day.

PS.
Still no love sent the Royals way in this week's Top 25.

Are the schools still on break?  They might do midweek double headers when there's no class to interfere with?
 

 Scranton is in intersession break so that might be a big factor in making it a doubleheader. They did play 1 midweek doubleheader with Wilkes last season but that involved considerably less travel time.
 If the Royals win the 2 road games(Etown & Susquehanna) this week, then they should get top 25 votes next week.

They might get some votes, but I still don't think I'd consider them.  Elizabethtown would be the best win on the schedule and it's not great.  Stevens is the only other one that would even catch my attention and they're not really in the top half of D3.

If they're 14-1 with a win over Catholic, that's when they start showing up on my radar.

If you had to answer honestly, how many voters see many teams outside of their schools/ conference games?  It isn't a shot at all, just a general curiosity.  I am sure the answer is somewhere between, none, some, or all!

 Would think they would then get most of the Etown 45 points of votes in this week's voting. We'll see.

 Yes, it was 1 of the top rivalries in small-college(pre-D3) basketball: bigger attendance(4000+) than the combined student bodies of the 2 schools plus support from our sister women's schools(Marywood and Misericordia). Remembering that they had to shut the doors at the 1st Kings game in the Long Center history because of no more room.
