MBB: Landmark Conference

[saratoga]

Marywood??

My God, Danzig has now allowed Absolution to Marywood twice now since the infamous shot heard round the world on 11/25/03.
Looks like cooler heads as well as detente have finally returned after all these years.

Think the players were pushing for a more competitive schedule?

 WRT to the D3hoops preseason poll, Scranton will be playing #1(UMW), 2(CNU), and 7(RMC) in nonconference games this season.

Catholic comes in with 7 votes. I wonder if Coach Danzig is adopting the Men's Lacrosse Model, take some lumps in non-conference play with hardens you for the conference schedule.

[Great Day to be a Royal]

Look at you guys praising a schedule! Never thought I'd see the day!

All jokes aside, Never thought I'd see the day with multiple impressive non-conf games, outside of playing a glorified MAC schedule in the non-conf

[saratoga]

The aforementioned games will be the closest the Royals have ever come to playing in a National Championship game in 25 years under current management.
Too bad they're in the first weeks of the season & not the last.
However, the mere fact that this level of competition was even scheduled is a step in the right direction that has been long overdue.
Goodbye Sarah Lawrence...hello Mary Washington!

We have Scranton basketball this week !!! 5:30 PM ( LOL) at the Long Center!

I can't tell from the way the Scranton SID crew put the schedule up, but who is the 4th. team in this tournament?
Yep...a 5:30 start on a Friday night...sounds like Danzig is looking to pull in at least 100 fans.

So it's Scranton's tournament but Danzig gives Marywood (4th. team) vs. Mary Washington the 7:30 game while he takes the opener at 5:30??
Must be that extra 2 hours of scouting after his game will make the difference when he plays MW on Sat.

My thought exactly. Must be a great recruiting tool, come play at scranton, you'll be done by 730 and can hit the bars early.

 Just guessing that he's giving the visiting opponent 2 1/2 more hours  to travel there.
