MBB: Centennial Conference

[Gabriel]

Picks

Monday 1/25/10
DeSales (Just a guess)

Wednesday 1/27/10
F&M (JHU is down this year and the Dips have too many weapons)
Swarthmore (In a mild upset, the Terror will get the life sucked out of them at Swat)
Gettysburg (Even on the road, they have too much for Dickinson)
Muhlenberg (Home court wins over the Fords)
Ursinus (The same, home court in a very competitive game with Washington)

Saturday 1/30/10
F&M (Too much for Swat at F&M but this is no "gimme")
Dickinson (In a mild upset, Dickinson gets its first win of the season)
McDaniel (Terror tough at home and the Mules don't travel well)
Ursinus (Will the Bears be consistently good or consistently inconsistent?)
Gettysburg (Tough game but home court prevails)

[Reserved Seat]

Desales

Tonight: DeSales (no Barnes)

[Old Man Terror]

Too late for tonite's game (would have picked deSales) but here are the picks for thr balance of the week:

Wednesday-

F&M over Hopkins.  Hopkins has started a tumble they may not be able to stop.

McDaniel over Swarthmore.  Terror continue the climb back into the playoff hunt.  Maybe beginning to find a rotation that plays well together.  Scored some points against a very tough Washington squad.

Gettysburg beats Dickinson.  No win yet but a close game.

Haverford over Muhlenberg.  The Mules are hanging on by a thread and beginning to get frustrated.  CAn they hold onto a playoff position?  Doesn't lok good right now.

Washington over Ursinus.  Match-up is a good one for Washington and they will resume their winning ways.

Saturday:

F&M beats Swarthmore. 

Dickson finally gets that win over Haverford.

McDaniel beats Muhlenberg at home.  Splits the series .  Continues of an end of the season run.  Can they win 7 of the last 9?  Could be.
Ursinus over JHU.  The fall of JHU from contention continues.

Washington beats Gettysberg and stays in the hunt.

Folks -

I was out of town yesterday. So, I am just now catching up on the post in here! Since more than half of the forcasters made pick for Monday night's game between Desales and Muhlenberg, it will be included in the standings. I am sorry that I didn't have access to a computer to give everyone the "heads-up" to pick that game. We will follow the same guidelines that were used at the end of the fist half of the season.

Anyway, the following are the updated standings:

SECOND HALF
   01/25   TO DATE   PERCENTAGE
GABRIEL   1 – 0   27 – 9   .750
OLD MAN TERROR   1 – 0   12 – 4   .750
RESERVED SEAT   1 – 0   23 – 8   .742
DIPLOMANIAC1   0 – 0   22 – 8   .733
DIVISION3   0 – 0   25 – 10   .714
R. W. MCNICKLES   0 – 0   24 – 11   .686
GODIPS04   1 – 0   21 – 10   .677
BTEXPRESS   0 – 1   24 – 12   .667
BRCE4   0 – 0   23 – 12   .657
D. B. COOPER   1 – 0   22 – 14   .611
OLD ENDS   0 – 0   0 – 0   .000
         
Just about everyone who made a pick took Desales! Congrats! Regards to all.

Injuries could have a major effect on teams down the stretch. More than a few don't have much depth. McDaniel's best player (Sarris-Grau) is out and the Mules have been hit as well. I'll be interested to see which Swarthmore and McDaniel teams show up tomorrow night as those two seem to have some of the biggest peaks and valleys in the CC.

Here at the home office, we have decided to compile a list of the top basketball moments in the Centennial Conference from the past decade.  We are looking at the top games and top players from 2000-2009 and would like to solicit nominations from you.  We'll compile the nominations from our fans and SIDs and narrow them down to a top 10.  Once we whittle down the field, we'll have an online vote to determine the top moment on both the men's and women's side from the last decade.  We'll announce the winner during the week of the Centennial tournament.

Feel free to send us an email at sulrich@centennial.org with your nomination.  You can also nominate via our twitter site (www.twitter.com/centennialconf) or give us your thoughts right here on Posting Up.

For starters, here are a few that come to my mind --
1) Ursinus' Dennis Stanton's 55 points vs. Franklin & Marshall on Feb. 7, 2004
2) Ursinus' Nick Shattuck's 46-point outburst vs. Dickinson in the 2008 CC semifinals.
3) Gettysburg's Corey Dorsey's buzzer-beater to defeat Elms in the 2008 NCAA tournament.

We hope you can participate and enjoy the debate!

Alex Kraft's buzzer-beater against Gettysburg in February 2000. Always thought that was the spark that ignited F&M's run to the Final Four.
