Made ESPN nice

You had me tune into Sportscenter for the first time in a decade. Thought it might have been on the Top 10 , but didn't see it.

Top notch.

Elizabeth Bennett '27, a 5-foot-11 center from Staten Island, New York, was Scranton's leading scorer with 15 points and five rebounds.

Bennett reflected below, as told to University communications, on the rare experience of playing against a Division I ACC opponent — and the even more remarkable feat of beating that team.

"Just play how you usually play," I reminded myself again.

We had the final run, winning the fourth quarter, 25-13, and the game, 69-63.

It was a bit of a shock, even to us. The whole experience just didn't feel real.

We checked our phones after the game and all had gotten so many texts, videos and pictures from everyone watching the game at their houses and in their dorms. Everybody's talking about it on social media. We feel an immense amount of support from everybody at Scranton, including our professors, who have been reaching out and congratulating us.

Sunday was a confidence booster. We have confidence in ourselves — and we should have confidence in ourselves. We can achieve big things if we put our minds to it.

We're not done yet, though, and I hope you can come cheer us on at the Long Center for some of our upcoming games. It's a long season and it's just getting started.

Another nice article from a local perspective.
Glad to see Coach O'Brien is doing his best to keep the kids focused for the D3 battles in front of them beginning tonight at Drew.

It will finally be nice to have a 3 minute drive for a couple of games.
