I have no issues with W&L. But starting off the season with a 4 win team, then possibly an 8 win team or Wilson, and I realize Wilson had 14 wins, but probably a bottom 2-3 conference in Division 3. And then follow that up with a 3 win Berks team and a sub 500 Del Val🤔  Not sure that is going to prepare them for their next 4 games, F&M, at Juniata, at Hopkins, at SWAT! Then a 2 1/2 week break.
I don't disagree with having a game or 2 to gain a rhythm and confidence, but you also need to prepare for the reality that is to come. And I understand he is trying to get his system in and acclimate 10 plus freshmen, but keeping a York in there would have been nice. But maybe it will work out in the end, who knows. I just hope they play a little defense this year! With what looks like a philosophy of shooting tons of 3's and who cares if they go in, you better be able to get some stops. Shooting 31% from 3 and giving up 77 ppg  is not a great combination!
Can't wait for  basketball to get started so the Bullets can prove me wrong! Go Bullets!

I see the Gettysburg website has posted their schedule. Sad to see they have went the route of try and get some "easy" games and dropped the stiffer opponents. It looks like their first few games are against teams that had maybe 10 wins combined. They dropped York, a great local rivalry game, but they did pick up PSU Berks🤦🏻‍♂️  Haven't seen a schedule done like this in about 29 years!

It should be a good game in Gettysburg! Gburg is going to need Gladstone back, not sure of his status for tonight.  With the style of play we use it involves everyone gets a lot of people in the scoring column.  The guys will need to continue sharing the ball as well as they have been to stay in the game and compete.  And knocking down 3's will be helpful also.  The concern will be to not let Moune get offensive rebounds and put backs.  His size could cause trouble for the Bullets.  Thus, Gladstone needs to be able to play tomorrow night.  We will need to put pressure on Moune by bringing him out to the 3 point line to defend Tanner and Gladstone. If they can hit a few 3's and bring him out and then attack him off the dribble maybe, just maybe, he would get into foul trouble.  Federici will take his shots and get his points, the defense needs to make him take 20-23 shots to get his 20 points.  Teams tend to shoot the 3 well against Gburg, and letting him get off on 3's would be devastating.  Hunter is playing well, and actually would cause me more concern then Federici.  He seems to step up in big games.  AND, it is a battle between arguably the 2 best coaches in the conference, obviously the argument may be more towards Coach Petrie, but i feel he gets the most out of his players and is consistently competitive most years. And a win against the top teams is always helpful when it comes to tie-breakers at the end of the season.. 
Good luck to both teams for a competitive, injury free game!  I will certainly be there to see it live!
Let's go Bullets!

Not going to argue that Matt is a huge loss for the Bears. But I get annoyed when you comment that they would probably have beaten teams that it lost to. Such an easy thing to say. They didn't exactly have a great record with him playing, and I understand they will most likely struggle even more so without. I don't know everyone's scenarios, but I know Gburg was missing a 2 year starter and double digit scorer in Tanner Kirkpatrick for the first 6 games or so. And they managed to win some games. And I know Kevin Gladstone has missed the last 2 games, which is a loss of 13 ppg, and they managed to win both games, on the road. One of which was against the Bears. All teams go through injuries and illnesses, this is where your staff's ability to recruit and bring players along comes into play. I hate that injuries occur, but it is a part of the game. I have no idea what Matt's injury is, but I wish him the best during his recovery. All teams would rather beat other teams at their best, but unfortunately not always possible. Good luck to all the CC teams this week! Go Bullets!!

I have not posted on here for a while now. So i thought i would put some love out there for the Bullets! They didn't start the year off to well at York, but certainly have rebounded well thus far.  It typically take some time for Gettysburg to get everyone on the same page on the offensive side of the ball.  But they appear to have started clicking earlier then usual. And they are doing this without the like of Tanner Kirkpatrick, one of their top scorers for the past 2 years.  And they also have not had Alex Kaslander substantially as of yet also, both due to injuries.  I am hoping when they both return full time that things improver even more so. 
I believe it is way too early for predictions, but getting 3 quick conference wins, against upper echelon teams is a great start.  Good luck to the conference in the non-conference games the next few weeks and i hope everyone gets, or stays healthy. 
Good luck to the Bullets tonight as they travel to Messiah, who has underperformed from what i have been reading. Never easy to win there, and they have talent, so it is only a matter of time until they have a breakout game.  How about they have that game any other day but today ;)
Glad to see a little activity on the board.

Reserved Seat, I noticed in the Landmark board you said that Hopkins, Dickinson, and F&M all play each other this weekend. I thought Gburg was making the trip to Goldfarb too, I suppose I was wrong:-) I never assume a win before it happens, you just never know. The Bullets were up 17 on JHU at their place before a comeback win. I am hoping Gburg can keep it rolling!!

I am hoping Gburg can keep the train moving! They are playing very well right now, getting multiple scoring options, and playing great together. It is tough to beat a team in back to back games, but that is what must be done. I think if they can get by McD you just never know what could happen. They were up 17 on Hopkins at Goldfarb and left it slip away. But since that game they have really appeared to come together. Good luck to all teams!

Gburg looked great tonight. I like the adjustments Petrie has made with his lineup. Seems they are clicking the last two games. Now need to beat Mcd twice, first one for home court advantage would be nice. But winning the second one is the only one that matters.

Congrats to the CC for having 2 teams still ranked.
Hoping that Gburg can turn the ship around. But not going to be easy. @JHU, @Haverford, and then F&M and McD at home. And only a 1 game lead for the 5th spot....yikes!!
#10
I stand corrected then. Well done F&M!
#11
I am assuming that those are not the locker rooms that the visitors get. Is that correct? But they look beautiful.

I agree Reserved Seat that JHU's gym is small. I don't recall a seating issue when they hosted in 2006 or 2007. I was always amazed at the poor facilities at F&M as far a locker rooms go. They may be one of the top 3 in worse locker room facilities in the conference. At halftime they send you into their athletic offices in an old racquetball court with a glass wall! And then you have people walking by your "locker room" while going over your adjustments. I guess every gym has their pros and cons. And that is just my opinion, which really doesn't mean much. Dickinsonm and McDaniel may be worse then F&M though.

Rough night for the Bullets at F&M to say the least.  I think they will respond very well Saturday with Ursinus visiting.  They owe them from their earlier trip to Collegeville! Gordon will be back and ready to go.  I look for an aggressive Bullets squad to come out ready to play and get back in the win column.  Most likely they are playing to at least host the 4-5 game, and possibly sneak into a 3 spot.  Time will tell, they will likely need to beat F&M, or JHU on the road, never easy, and get a win against McDaniel to take away the head to head if tied with the Terrors.  Interestingly enough, Gburg beat Dickinson, McDaniel beat F&M, so it is important where those two finish for tie breaking circumstances too.  I am certainly not discounting JHU, but McD and Gburg each have lost to them. And they can't have a slip up against a bottom half team. They have a tough stretch coming after, and including Saturday also, Dickinson at home, then hit the road to Muhl, JHU, and Haverford.  And then finish up at home with F&M and McD!! They could gain some ground, or also fade away.  I hope they don't allow SWAT, Muhl, or Ursinus to believe they can crawl back into the last playoff spot!

Typical Gburg McDaniel game tonight. I was hoping Brooks or Merlo wouldn't get off tonight, but brooks went 4-6 from 3pt line. Gburg seems to always be susceptible to the 3 ball. Were down by as much as 16, cut it down to 6 or so, but never felt like McDaniel would lose it. Gburg needs more production from bench, especially if they are not going to a knock down the three's. Congrats to Gordon for having 8 assists and 0 turnovers against an always pesky defense. He now has over 500 points, 300 rebounds, and 200 assists!

Not shocked by the Dickinson win, and honestly by the margin. Devils have been in these games lately, and are experienced. F&M as a group has not. Lee and Moune have been in some. But when you are young these types of games happen, especially on the road. The Dips will bounce back and be fine. I would not expect this point margin at the last game of the year. I am not an F&M fan, I don't hate them or anything, but to say G Rob needs to get more out of them is not really fair. They are very inexperienced...have 2 losses...and are ranked!!! For now anyways.

Unless something changed, Gburg is traveling the straight shot to McDaniel tonight. Which is never an easy place to play!
