MBB: Landmark Conference

[saratoga]

Bowdoin women have free admission day next Sat. for their first round NESCAC game vs. Tufts (students & adults).
Scranton students should definitely be allowed in free for any Landmark playoff games at home if they're not already.

Want to add in a Community Thank You for adults as well...go for it.

Time for a degree of creativity to emanate from the Long Center.

They usually do a "first xxx students get in free"

How about an alumni price to get in, too?!

Well, Ronk...looks like we received the definitive word last night, Scranton men in no way, shape, or form are hosting.
I can live with that.

However, the kicker to me is that the women by being listed as the #5 team by NPI will lose hosting rights for the 2nd. weekend should they win their first 2 unless some serious upsets happen.

NPI has its place but other criterion such as ability to get fans in, nice hotels within walking distance of the school, restaurants & being centrally located need to count for something.
If you come to Scranton that 2nd. weekend, hell we'll even throw in a parade in your honor. 

Otherwise, just have Massey run a computer program of the games & get your winner that way.

  2.4%, low that it is, is more probable than no way, shape or form; as Jim Valvano said about the '83 championship game against Houston: we have a better chance than the other 300 teams that aren't playing.
 As far as the Lady Royals wrt the 2nd weekend, we'll see how 3 more weeks of playing affect the relative NPI figures plus the geography factor.

Just go beat Wilkes tomorrow. Worst game of the year against them first time around..

Scranton just got a commitment for both basketball and baseball:

 Missed out on his older sister, Joanie, who was on the A10 all-rookie team last year @ LaSalle U and won 3 PA state titles w Cardinal O'Hara.

Did someone say "transfer"?

Regardless of Ronk's optimism...the Lady Royals are a lock to host the first weekend of post-season play.
The men better get to the championship game of the Landmark & not lose by 30 or they're not even making the NPI cut.

 They only played 7 last night? Looks like no Will Marion?

[ronk]

 Marion was injured shortly after entering the game; didn't reenter later.

The game last night had more lanes opened then McDonalds. Danzing from what I saw in the second half never and I mean never went to a zone to try to close those lanes down. Everything was alot of one on one. After 25 years other defenses help when you constantly get burnt one on one . WILKES IS DEFINETLY A BETTER TEAM AND BETTER COACH. WHEN YOU MAKE NO CHANGES,YOU GET THE SAME RESULTS AGAINST THE SAME TEAM A LOSS. IT WAS NOT BY 30 BUT BY 3.

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Wilkes' top two performers (24 and 23 pts) took 30 of the 47 shots. Clearly, man defense was not working.

[saratoga]

With Danzig, one size fits all.
Total lack of innovation.
