The superstat^TM for F&M's loss against Lebanon Valley...James McNally went 10 of 18 for 56% while the rest of the starters shot 11 of 36 for 31%

[Reserved Seat]

F&M continued their struggles at LVC.
After digging an 8 point hole in the first half, F&M fought back to take a slim margin.  Unfortunately everytime they got their head out of the hole LVC whacked them back into the hole.
F&M had problems stopping LVC in the first half, but picked up the pressure in the second half.
Meehan played a terrific game for LVC hitting key shots especially down the stretch.  Dunkelberger was a non-factor for LVC as was Baker for F&M.
F&M's questionable shot selection down the stretch also contributed to their downfall.
F&M was only 1 for 8 on threes.  LVC was 5 for 12.
Hopefully, this early loss will only motivate F&M to come ready to play in the first half.
Go Dips!

The CC is looking down this year. I was certainly thinking that many of the teams would start better than this. Lets hope the teams pick up their level of play after the holiday.

I guess I'll give the picks a try for Saturday's games. 

F & M over Juniata.   Not a close game.

McDaniel over Alvernia.    A close game again for the Terror but they will figure it our and get it together. 

Havorford over Moravian.  Looks like a real down year for Moravian.

Lebanon Valley over Ursinus.  I think the Ursinus praises may be a bit premature.

Not that it changed the outcome of the game, but here's a picture of where Meehan's feet were on the final shot that was called a 3:

Tim Flynn, LVC's SID agrees. In his comments in GoDutchmen.com [Blog], Flynn says Meehan was inside the arc.

Folks -

OK, here are the results and standings from the first night of the -"Pick-Ems". As with last year, both the W-L record and the percentage will be listed for each "picker". The winner will be the person with the highest W-L percentage participating at least 75% of the time. That way, more folks can join in on the fun down the road and others won't be penalized for forgetting to make picks on a given night.

BTEXPRESS                    7 - 1      .875
D. B. COOPER                7 - 1      .875
GABRIEL                        7 - 1      .875
GODIPS04                     6 - 2      .750
RESERVED SEAT            6 - 2      .750
R. W. MCNICKLES          6 - 2      .750
BRCE4                           5 - 3      .625
DIPLOMANIAC1             5 - 3      .625

Looks like the Diplomats cost us all! As R W correctly pointed out, in my hurry, I typed McDaniel when I meant to type Washington. For now, I have counted that as a loss. But, I will let you folks decide how I should count it. Just let me know. Also, If you think that I have incorrectly determined your record or precentage let me know and I will re-verify.

Regards to all.

You do not have to make your picks for all of these games that far in advance. However, I wanted to get them posted early during the holiday season to give everyone extra time to think about them. Picxking too far in advance will not take into account injuries, etc.

Enjoy! Have Fun! Regards to all.

Picks for upcoming games (5-3 ouch)
F&M they simply can't lose 2 in a row and their at home.
Moravian because they are the home team
Ursinus Leb Val had a great win against F&M but also lost to Cabrini @home so I'm sticking with the home team
Alvernia basically going with the home team across the board.

No difference if I wait or not.
