When's the last time the Knicks won a home game?

I don't think Bron or Steph get nervous going to Madison Square Garden

Mike any diaper dandies in Berks this year worth taking a peek at?

Mike Drago

12:35

A bunch. Working on the "Top of their class" story; you'll see that in a few weeks

Dr. Jay

Not a lot of press on the Muhlenberg victory.

Mike Drago

12:35

We covered them three times last week, and they lost every one. Can't cover them every night.

I would say Reading vs Wilson will be exciting and it won’t be “easy” for either side. Wilson wants to avenge their first loss.

Wesley The Money Man

Reading held the ball for the last 3:30 of the 3rd quarter to try to force Muhls out of zone and Nesby was content with letting them because his team isn't very deep and were in foul trouble. Whats the longest you've seen a team hold the ball for?

Mike Drago

12:36

I remember Robbie Pollard of Reading standing at center court up at Hazleton for what seemed like 5 or 6 minutes once.

A few years earlier, when Reading had Donyell, Hazleton did the same thing

SM21

12:36

I agree! no press they win lol stay away

Mike Drago

12:37

No, we'll be back out to cover the Muhls again soon

B-ball Lover

12:37

That’s not the reason why Nesby did that and Reading is famous for doing that

Mike Drago

12:37

I wouldn't say famous

Holding the ball is not what I think of when I think Reading basketball

Imago

12:37

Holding the ball is a bush-league move

Mike Drago

12:38

If you don't have the better team, it can be a smart move

ExBerksCoach

I really don't see this as one of Reading's better pressing teams. Maybe for spurts here and there, but nothing like the last 5 years. Thoughts Mike?

Mike Drago

12:38

Agree. They don't have guards like Stern, Mauras and Walker. Now, that's a good backcourt.

I believe Adams from Reading can be a big-time player in the next few years.

Mike Drago

12:38

Red Knights have several sophs and freshmen who can be very good, and he's one of them.

Coach Pat chambers

12:39

Best game ever seen at geigle including PIAA playoffs? Chester played one year against someone it was standing room only SOLD OUT

Extend high school game to 36 minutes. 30 second shot clock. Let’s get it done. Enough is enough.

Mike Drago

12:39

Sorry Box, not about to happen

Jim

12:39

Actually it a gave the muhls a shot to catch there breath and be in the game in 4 th quarter which is what you want at the geigle

Mike Drago

12:40

Jim talking about the Muhls holding the ball last week against Reading

Wesley The Money Man

12:40

B-ball lover, Muhlenberg goes like 6 deep and 4 or 5 of those guys had 3 or more fouls. Muhlenberg was down 7. What reason other than the ones I listed or "stubbornly not letting Rick dictate how I play" did Nesby have?

XXXL

12:40

Any local players going D1 from 2019 ?

Mike Drago

12:40

Unlikely

D1 rides in basketball don't come around much

Skinsadelphia

12:41

Does snip think he owes the majority of his success to the development of the athletes that play football and carry the basketball program?

Mike Drago

12:41

Great question, Skins; I never thought to ask him that

Imago

12:42

Didn't realize Donovan Jack and Nana Foulland played football.

Mike Drago

12:43

So much going on this afternoon, I forgot to mention today's edition of "Free Throws"

https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/mike-dragos-boys-basketbal...

12:44

Make sure to check out the expanded on-line version; lots of nuggets there about 1,000-point scorers, the Geigle Shootout, Lorencz Jean-Baptiste and more

A lot of items that didn't make the print edition

XXXL

12:45

Not sure BC has the right starters out there. They sub almost right out of the gate. Why not just start your top guys

Mike Drago

12:45

Snip probably never thought of that

Steve

12:45

So when Wilson loses tonight are the Muhls in 2nd place?
