No word from Franciscan regarding their tussle with Ohio - Eastern.

[Gregory Sager]

No joy in Sagerville.....

Joseph Rine with 18 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks for Franciscan

Next games for Franciscan 2-7 Waynesburg Dec 20 and 0-9 Muskingum on Jan 2

Yeah, don't know where hopefan and smeds got their misinformation from but Franciscan went down once again 77-55. I thought that initial score was too good to be true so I went to the D3 scoreboard and the Franciscan website. Both gave me a box score showing Franciscan losing. I figured they might beat this nonD3 school but winning by 22 points was a red flag. I'm surprised that hopefan and smedindy fell for it.   sac lives for another day!!

Yeah, don't know where hopefan and smeds got their misinformation from but Franciscan went down once again 77-55.

I'd have put it to old man senility, but thank goodness Smed saw it that way too....


Clearly a case of Sac pulling out the hidden immunity idol.....   " You have the ability to reverse once announced score" 

[smedindy]

It was on the Franciscan web site and their D3 page, at least around 10. No box score, just a score was reported (as I think we both said).

Pool games on Tuesday night.

Albertus Magnus lost at D1 Yale  112-63 and the Undefeated Pool is down to 3 players. Greek Tragedy's run comes to an end.

Franklin & Marshall defeats Mount St. Joseph 66-63 at Transy's tournament. The Diplomats will now face Translyvania on Wednesday at 5:00 PM. 

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

F&M still surviving... this Transy game worries me though. And then UWSP has a tough game of it's own at St Thomas on Friday. Get off your butts and play a game Middlebury

I had a look back to see where in the order the remaining teams were picked... F&M went 1st, Middlebury 10th, and UWSP 19th out of 21. In the winless pool Principia 2nd, Franciscan 3rd, SUNY-Maritime 6th, Caltech 7th, and Elmira 13th out of 18
