Don't have time for a Poppers' flow chart of possible alternatives.

However, the fact that they didn't have a deep bench is extraneous...who does that fall back on??
Quote from: saratoga on February 28, 2024, 11:15:17 AMCongrats to Anna Scoblick on winning POY.
Another local player that former coach DiPillo never even spoke to even though she was coached by Deanna Klingman.
She has always worked her tail off to get better & it's paying off.
The best thing to happen to Lady Royal basketball was DiPillo leaving for another D1 assistant coaching gig.
Well done to Kaeli voted as DPOY, Meghan as ROY, Kaci as a First Team selection & Maddy Ryan as a second team pick.
Not sure what Ben & his coaching staff didn't quite accomplish as they defeated CUA twice & won the Landmark on Catholic's court.

Quote from: CardsFan on February 26, 2024, 10:58:27 PMI only just discovered that the board was back up and running. I am so happy for this group of seniors at CUA on their Landmark title. It has been really enjoyable to watch them play and improve together. I'm so glad they were able to get over the hurdle of the Landmark semifinals. The atmospheres in the DuFour Center on Thursday and Saturday were the best in many a year. There has been a real effort to get students out to the games during the season and the students have responded. That has not always been the case.
I also have to congratulate the Lady Royals on their Landmark title this past Saturday. That was the first of the three games this season that I saw in person. They were dominant from start to finish. Tremendous defense. I hope they make some noise in the NCAAs.
Quote from: Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) on February 26, 2024, 04:44:19 PMI talked to someone at DeSales. They're stoked about this. They expected they'd have to play at NYU in the second weekend, so, if they have to eventually play anyway, getting them at home is their best chance to win.
I suspect the committee decided to give hosting to the two teams who'd earned it, but lost the right due to geography. They both seem to have been rewarded with weaker first round opponents to make up for second round challenges.
If you're a 1 seed, you expect to eventually play everyone anyway. Is losing in the third round worse than losing in the second if you're good enough to be in the final four?
I'm sure the committee chair will be asked about it tonight on hoopsville.

I watched the game yesterday & it appeared the CUA players all immediately left the floor once the handshakes were over.
Then again, hard to be 100% sure because our wonderful FloSports broadcast ended abruptly 2 minutes after the game concluded.

One game at a time.
