F&M will be back next year.  The key for next year may be the emergence of 2nd semester walk on Matt Porter.  Let's not forget him!

Anyway, enjoy the offseason folks.  Bball2020 and Coco- see you next season at your respective sites.  Hopefully, you will have more class next year! 

Final comment- I have to admit that the Ursinus student section which I have to admit can be routy was better than that crappy VA Wesleyan student section.  We fans know how to get it done in the Centennial.

Tough loss, especially with such a substantial lead late in the first.

I really thought of Robinson was going to get a national title, it would have been this year. After two years ago, making the final four with mostly freshmen and sophomores, I thought this would be the year. Now, it's tough to see if F&M will ever get one under Robinson.

This was not the year.  F&M was given a terrible draw in the NCAA tourney.  And winning a tourney is all about who you play, when it is and where it is.  Look at 2009, an unbelievable draw for F&M.

Well as I am driving back from Va wesleyan I must simply write that this loss will take a few days to get over.  The refs in this game are ten times worse than those in the centennial conference.  The one guy looked almost 90.  Anyway more later.  Rough night indeed.  Congrats to f and m and the seniors.

Goodjob making the trip Doc. thats the other hard part of the trip, the drive home after a loss (its the main reason i didnt attend the jets/pats playoff game this year).  From what i gathered on tv, the refs were equally egregious with the fouls. But my biggest issue was with multiple uncalled travellings in the first half.

At least on the way back I did not get a ticket through slower lower Delaware.  What an awful state!  Anyway, the best was after the game when Coach came int our reception and said that he was running late because he had to fill out a comment card on the refs.  It is not fair when refs are too involved in the outcome of games- in Division 3 it is bad!

Hey Dips75, i here what youre saying.  But honestly, did anything you see the last few months scream out title team?  Sweet 16 team? yes, even final four team under the right circumstances.  but the team spent a lot of the year trying to make up for the loss of Anthony.  And especially down the stretch, the team did well.  I gotta admit, i really like Brewer's defense and his ability to manage the offense at the point position. 

This was what it was, a tough loss in a tough spot against a team that was unbeaten at home.  The guys left everything out on the floor, and got victimitzed by the proverbial lid on the basket at the end. 

Actually, I think this team is better than that of last year or even the year before that made the final four.  Milligan and Hayk have been awesome.  The defense has been killer.  And moving forward, with Matt Porter replacing Tolliver and hopefully the deveopment of some recruits that this great staff is bringing in I am optimistic.  F&M is still the class of the CC.

congrats on a nice season for f & m. it was an up and down year and i didn't have a great feeling about them in the tournament so i am not surprised about the results. don't think they could have played with top D3 teams if they got in deeper in tourney.regardless, congrats to all seniors for terrific careers. good luck with life after college.

This is a topic that we have been discussing with Pat Coleman all week.  F&M has proven they can play with the top D3 teams- they beat St. Mary's at their spot last year, they beat MMA at their spot last year, and they almost beat a very physical team last night.  F&M is a quick and physical team that can play killer defense.  Tough loss!

Well as I am driving back from Va wesleyan I must simply write that this loss will take a few days to get over.  The refs in this game are ten times worse than those in the centennial conference.  The one guy looked almost 90.  Anyway more later.  Rough night indeed.  Congrats to f and m and the seniors.

I am at the game.  Nothing like mayser and the student section is poor.

Bball let's stop lying to the folks.  Are you an assistant coach of Gettysburg?  Why did you say you are not a coach or you do not care about the bullets.  And let's clarify mcnally injury.  OT started as a concussion which then became a pinched nerve in the neck which can be assisted by a chiropractor.  He then had a knee injury. 

Thanks for the good wishes bball.  Enjoy the game it should be a good one. 

The tag team match with lusty would be funny.  I do not think bball can make it because of the awful parking that he claims is present at f and m.  Good analysis of the game everyone.  This is a tougher test than last year at st marys but not impossible.  F and m has to handle the zone well which they do inconsistently.

Hey genius bball why was mcnally out of action for several games in late January?  If it was not a concussion which was listed what was the injury.  Maybe you had a concussion as a kid because you continuously look bad on this board.

Swat, the game is at 7pm.  as per viewing capabilities, last night the video feed was borderline unwatchable.  Cut out too many times, and was roughly 90 seconds behind live stats and 30 seconds behind the audio.  hopefully it'll be better tonight. 

The quality got better in the second half, along with the delay issue.  The broadcaster sounded like a college freshman and he was messing up information.  I do not care though- I will be there live tonight!  

Winning!  Too funny.
