MBB: Centennial Conference

I know this has nothing to do with DIV III, but I could not let it go.
Coaches on all levels and sports have to deal with enough. Read the attached and ask your self would you be able to handle it.

Very entertaining game at F&M.
The score was 68-66(Gettysburg) with 20 seconds to go.  F&M was unable to get back in the game after that.  Having to foul and shoot threes, the final score ended up 73-66.
The game was well officiated despite the whining of an obnoxious fan from Gettysburg.(Gettysburg shot 16-19 from the line and F&M 4-7)  I don't know what he was whining about.  The officials did the nice job of calling the game fairly.  Gettysburg got six of their foul shots in the last 20 seconds.
Otherwise the crowd was well controlled and enjoyed the play of both teams.
Powers played an excellent game and is definitely the key player on their team. 
Gettysburg started 4 seniors, and F&M had none starting.
From three range Gettysburg was 9 for 19(close to their normal pace).  F&M was 4 for 11 including  about  4 desperation shots in the last 20 seconds.
F&M protected the ball much better than usual.  Milligan had only a few lapses protecting the game and penetrated well with the ball.
Brooks' athletic presence was all over the court.

F&M started strong and built a 28-18 before Gettysburg went on a 13-0 run.  Gettysburg was ahead by one at the half.
Hopefully the next game at Gettysburg will be played as well.

Pick-em for 1/24

Gettysburg (solid team)
F & M(shouldn't get mugged twice)
John Hopkins(still haven't figured out Dickinson-they're killing my picks)
Washington(play tough at home)
Ursinus(more than enough to overwhelm Swarthmore)

[D.B. Cooper]

1/24 picks

G-burg (Fords could keep it respectable)
F&M (Depends how its officiated, home shouldn't hurt)
Dickinson (due to hold serve in Carlisle)
Washington (Sho'man hold off Mules, Liddic & Barnes get in foul trouble)
Ursinus (tough year to be a Garnet fan, could be close for a half)

[BRCE4]

Picks for 1/24
Gettysburg( Haverford scrappy and at home but Gettysburg on a roll)
F&M ( If McDaniel wins this one, they are for real as a possible champ)
Dickinson (Pretty good 2-6 team I think they win this one)
Mules ( Can they win 2 in a row on the road)
Ursinus (Swat is undermanned this year)

[diplomaniac1]

Folks -

Here are my selections for the 1/24 pick-ems tomorrow:

Gettysburg @ Haverford:   Gettysburg. (The Bullets have more talent than the Fords. THey should win on the road unless they have a huge letdown after Wednesday night's big game at Mayser Center).

McDaniel @ F&M:   F&M. (Dips should win at home as payback for their first loss in Westminster. Now that the students are back, Mayser Center is a big advantage. A healthy Brooks with his quickness and athleticism should make a big difference).

Johns Hopkins @ Dickinson:   Johns Hopkins. (Will the real Red Devils team ever arrive? Although Kline is a tough place to play, I will take the road team here).

Muhlenberg @ Washington:   Washington. (A tough one to pick. Cain Center is a tough place to play. So, give the edge to home team over a perrenially weak road team).

Ursinus @ Swarthmore:   Ursinus.  (The long season in Collegeville continues without a win in sight!).

I plan to be at Mayser for the clash between the Dips and the Terror. Enjoy
the games. Goos luck to all! Regards,

Eric

Pick-em for 1/24

Gettysburg (Bullets are rolling after big win over Dips)
McDaniel (Home court is not enough to make up for youthful Dips)
Dickinson (Leszcynski needs to actually show up, very disappointed in the Devils this year)
Washington (Don't have a good read on either team)
Ursinus (Swat doesn't stand a chance now with Walker out for 2 weeks)

1/24 picks:

Gettysburg
F&M
Dickinson
Muhlenberg
Ursinus

Not sure about picking the Dips over the Terror -- could be a low-scoring game that comes down to a defensive stop (or a big shot) in the last minute.  I think the Mules will start making a run toward the playoffs with a second straight road win.  And Dickinson will continue its Jekyll and Hyde act with a victory over Hopkins, a team they almost beat in Baltimore.

If anyone can say upset, it is taking place at Haverford..
