Excellent post Stretch.  F/M outplayed the Bullets on both ends and did an effective job rebounding at key moments.  Bullets definitely had several questionable possessions in the second half.  To your point, that had been a thing of the past but certainly evident in what was an early season test.  Having said that, Dips are exceeding expectations at the moment and it will be interesting to see them play Hopkins in a few days.

On another topic, I see Robino only played a few minutes for the Mules last night.  Anyone know what happened?

Stretch, good comments as always. 

I would be interested in how the voting for these awards occurs and whether you can vote for your own player/self.  I think that these awards should consider conference play/statistics only so that there is common ground.

As to POY, Vinny is a no doubter.  He is a terrific player who is at his best in big moments.

I was surprised by DPOY like you noted but would not vote Caprise (who is an excellent all around players).  Both McGuire (Mules) and McKeon (Gettysburg) have better defensive numbers.

Definitely surprised that both Robino and Gaines made 1st team all conference but when you look at offensive numbers its hard to quibble but I likely would have put Caprise on 1st team. Agree with you on Stafford and Schaller.  While Stafford may be the toughest player to guard in the conference, those spots should be flipped.

When I look at ROY conference stats, the vote was likely close and Nocito is deserving.  I think Sujeta was hurt with his turnovers and defense.  The only other name I would add is Nate Williams of Gettysburg whose stats are comparable to the other players you mentioned.

Are first year players in the league considered rookies? I know it doesn't say Newcomer of the year but would Mann be eligible?

Two decisive wins in the playoffs by Gettysburg and the Mules.

Mules really kicking it into gear and totally beat down Ursinus.  When Robino is hot he is most prolific scorer in league.

Bullets stymied the Dips in every way and they were completely overwhelmed.

Solid games on tap for Friday with both visiting teams having beaten their host earlier in the year.

Looks like the Bullets caused some upheaval in the playoff picture.

Box score said Swarthmore had zero assists. Gotta be a typo.

Any report on how the Swat fans/parents behaved?

Some fun matchups on Tuesday. Ursinus gotta look to avenge the beat down that the Mules just handed them last week.

Final regular season games today with most playoff spots settled.

Nice summary of potential seedings done by Hopkins' Tom Quarry:

Speaking of Quarry, he looked like he was injured v F/M a few games back and yet to play since.

Anyone have insight?

I watched the video where Hughes was fouled by Visconti and it was hard to tell if it was a dirty play.  Not defending the play at all but I certainly couldn't tell....but many on here are saying it was.  Did Visconti hit him in the face?

As for POY, to me it's DeAngelo.  Very steady and hits big shots.

Playoff picture still a bit crazy with Ursinus, Muhlenburg and Gettysburg all tied.  Likely tie breakers will come into play.

Haverford with advantage for last spot.

Swat just wears teams down and they are relentless.  They have a unique ability to irritate other teams and fans.  Are there repercussions to a double technical?  Does the player have to sit out the next game?
#8
Next man up.

Every team has injuries.

Bartlett and Yuetter out for Hopkins.

Haverford lost Torres and Love for a few games.

Abakar out for Gburg 5 games.

Wall out for a few for Ursinus.

In the games I have watched, Parra had been playing very well.
#10
Parra was in street clothes on bench for Gettysburg game.  Appeared to be a lower leg/ankle injury.

Bullets have been without their starting center for 4 games.  Rassoul Abakar 6' 9" from Cameroon.

Not a big fan of Swat/JHU and hope the top of the conference changes but that may still be a year away.

Having 6 teams in post-season is good and the mid-tier teams look solid. Centennial is a great hoop's conference.
#12
Team misses 19 free throws on their home court then complains about a call?

19.

And you want a revote on the pre-season poll?



#13
Why did the Widener player get tossed?  That must have been some game.

Ursinus and Muhlenberg off to very strong starts....guard play has been very good.

Yesterdays game between Ursinus and Gettysburg was one of the most exciting games I have seen in the Centennial.  Very well played and the 2nd half display of scoring by Ryan Hughes was very impressive.  The Bears hit a number of shots that were heavily contested as they came back to tie the game.  Very well played and enjoyable.  I agree that the next few weeks will be exciting as the last remaining playoff spots are battled for. Agree with Stretch, home court for the playoffs hangs in the balance and quite possibly is a difference maker in determining the Champion.

Crazy day indeed!

Any idea when Gaines may return for the Mules?
