Quote from: saratoga on Yesterday at 09:36:48 PMAdditionally.....

We had Framingham St. as an opening round game in the 2024 tournament when our current seniors were soph's.
Won that game 60-39.

 Forgot about that game even though I was there. They scored 11 in the 1st 5 mins and then only 28 more for the rest of the game.

Quote from: NEPAFAN on Yesterday at 07:58:00 PMHopefully the students show up.

Ronk when get a first round break down?

 Don't know anything about Framingham St or its players, save that they're ranked 63 of the 64 teams in the tourney.
Ryan Scott will be out with his preview of the entire bracket in the next few days.

 Smith @ Bates in the 2nd round is a very tough match and Smith is the women's chair this year.

 In the 1st round, Scranton plays Framingham St @ 8:30 pm after Otterbein v Randolph-Macon @ 6 pm. Historically, this round @ Scranton was an hour earlier in the past.

Quote from: Great Day to be a Royal on Yesterday at 03:22:57 PMTransylvania's failure to file paperwork to host ensured that they could not help fix some of the geographic challenges in this bracket. Anyone in Indiana, Ohio or Kentucky who might qualify for the NCAA Tournament should always file to host.

Ursinus - March 2003 has a friend. I am sure there have been other examples, but, how?!?!

 And Ursinus was a strong team that year; it wasn't as if they didn't expect to be in the tourney.

Quote from: Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) on Yesterday at 03:25:38 PMThere's a decent chance I'll be up at Scranton on Friday.  If it happens, I'll look forward to seeing you all.

We'll be looking for you; Gordon Mann has been such a visitor(NCAA tourney) in the past.

 They both seem to be behind St. Mary's(MN) for the final at-large.

Yep they updated it !!! I guess that loss to Case Western hurt them also.

 Yes, Willy Paterson losing was a bid thief costing Carnegie Mellon; was hoping to see Carnegie in Scranton since their assistant coach was a former prospect of mine.

 My guess for Scranton's pod: playing St. Mary's(MD) the 4th seed and Gettysburg(#2) vs W&J(#3).

Quote from: Augie2020 on March 01, 2026, 05:45:02 PMSo Susquehanna is .042 behind Carneige Melon in the latest NPI for the final at large bid. Susquehanna 21-5 Carnegie Melon 15-10 yikes.

 They both seem to be behind St. Mary's(MN) for the final at-large.

 Well, the JHU loss will mean hosting the 2nd weekend(St Patrick's Day parade) if chalk and geography hold instead of JHU hosting. Would have been great if W&L had lost today also and moved into third spot and on the opposite side of the bracket from NYU.

Quote from: OUVan59 on March 01, 2026, 12:39:02 PM

Quote from: CardsFan on February 26, 2026, 10:06:43 PMA quick word of praise for Wilkes. They really do it with only five guys but those 5 know exactly what they are supposed to do. They just keep running their stuff. They were worthy winners tonight. Should be an interesting game Saturday.

I think the lack of depth caught up to Wilkes last night. The starters played all but 20 minutes while Susquehanna had 63 bench minutes. They had no legs the last 5 minutes. One more bench player they trusted and it probably is a different story.

Hard to believe that Susquehanna's season was saved by a 30 foot buzzer beater against Catholic. That shot doesn't drop and Moravian gets the 6th seed. A couple of factors played into the season record for the River Hawks. Mario Castro-Sanchez getting hurt in Puerto Rico caused a ripple effect in the rotation. He missed most of January and Coach Marcinek struggled to find the right rotation with some really bad losses the result. He figured it out with about 5 games to go. Another big factor is the emergence of freshmen KJ Carson and Mikey Cumbo (D2 transfer). But once he figured out the rotation Susquehanna beat the #1, #2, #3 and #4 seeds in the Landmark, with three of those coming on the road.

 Congrats on the late-season success; they earned it. I was there when you lost the conference final a few years ago @ Catholic; the Lady Royals were playing there as half of that doubleheader final.

Quote from: Augie2020 on March 01, 2026, 10:46:32 AMCongratulations to the Lady Royals on winning the Landmark for the 11th consecutive year in a row .. Also Congrats to Katie Gorski on her double/double 18pts 10 rebounds amd MVP of the tournament Kaci Kranson on her double /double 26 pts 10 rebounds. Also Kaeli Romanowski on Thursday for breaking her previous record of 99 steals last year to breaking it this year 100+ steals. Kaci Kranson I think is ten points away from moving into 2nd place in points . She will take over my all time favorite player Taryn Mellody and Kaci is my second favorite all time ...GOOD LUCK LADIES LETS GO

   And Jenna Sloan becomes the Landmark career leader in assist/turnover ratio with 4.107, doubling the previous leader with 1.99; Jenna only yesterday reached the required minimum # of assists(225) to qualify.
  Similarly, Kaeli becomes the Landmark career leader in steals with 364 over Scranton's Megan Kopecki(331).
 Congrats to both!
