Dickinson was very impressive tonight.  Wixted didn't play - some guy with a D on his hat said he punched someone in practice this week - but the team was still really good.  They've got a lot of talent and the freshmen seem to be coming along pretty well.  They've got some growing to do, but they're as good as any team I've seen this year, certainly deserving of where they're ranked nationally.

They play a style that's going to make it difficult for them to really blow out anyone and the coach really seemed to focus on getting the bench guys PT and experimenting with lineups over actually taking it to WC the whole time.

The game was never in doubt, really.  Washington College hit like five or six threes down the stretch to close the gap, but Dickinson hit like 15 of 16 from the line in the last two or three minutes, a really impressive display.

I've been to a few Washington College games now - they certainly aren't as bad as their record and they've got a sophomore, Drury, who's really impressive - but that coach must be the nicest guy in the world.  I just have never seen a college coach so bad at coaching.  The players still look tentative in the offense, even when it was mostly seniors on the floor, they take timeouts in the strangest spots, and there just doesn't seem to be any order or system to how he's using lineups and matchups.  I feel like an average coach would have them at 4-6 or 5-5 right now.
Hoops Fan,
I pay attention to this board and I post very rarely but I find your last point about Washington College's head coach out of line. I don't understand how you can say that there coach is so awful yet he had Washington in a position to beat the#4 ranked team in D3 in the second half? I've watched plenty of Washington College games too and I have to say that your idea that Washington doesn't have a system is outlandish. They very clearly run a secondary break into the triangle offense and on defense they are a man to man pressure defensive team. Washington's leading scorer from last year has also missed most of this season with injury and just returned for the Dickinson game. Washington has also been in multiple games that have gone down to the wire and they have had shots to tie or take the lead and they have missed them. That's basketball and every game I've seen the team has played hard and fought until the very end. To say that "an average coach would have them at 4-6 or 5-5 right now"  I feel is beneath your quality as a poster and from what I've read you seem like a quality poster.

Milligan should be, and more then likely will be the POY. With that said, Kevin Breslin is also having a POY type season. His scoring is down from last year but his rebounding, assists, and steals numbers are all up from last year and the turnovers are down. Breslin has made countless plays for the Shoremen at the end of games that have allowed them to go 7-2 in games away from Cain and 6-1 in games decided by 5 points or less. He is a complete player, who plays on both ends of the court. At F&M, in the first half Breslin played great defense and kept the Shoremen in it and in the second half took over on the offensive end and upset F&M for their only defeat of the year. The Shoremen are a great team this season and no one individual deserves all the credit for their success, but Breslin is one of, if the not the main reason why the Shoremen are in contention this year.
