MBB: Centennial Conference

[diplomaniac1]

Old Man Terror, Brce4, and R. W. McKnickles -

Everyone else has updated their "pickems" selection for tonight's Johns Hopkins - Swarthmore game that was initially scheduled for Saturday, February 6 and then subsequently rescheduled twice to Monday February 8 and then to Monday, February 15. Do you want to change your pick or do you want me to use that selection? Let me know. Thanks.

Just thanks for keeping up-to-date on the games.  The snow has made your effort one to be commended.  I wouldn't even want to check my own results with all the delays we've had.  I'm just assuming you're right.  Again, thanks for your efforts.  Hopefully, we can finish off the refular season without any more snow postponements.

yes...thanks diplomaniac for an ongoing great job. our race is pretty tight. how many of us get a certificate? 1st, 2nd and 3rd?

[BTEXPRESS]

Eric, you have done a great job keeping track of the picks. Heck, I'm having trouble keeping track of my own picks with all the postponments etc. Here are my picks for Wednesday 2/17

F&M over Hopkins ( Dips keep rolling)
URSINUS over Washington( Both teams need a win)
GETTYSBURG over Dickinson( The Devils have had a nice little run, but not in this game)
MUHLENBERG over Haverford( Tossed a coin on this pick)
MCDANIEL over Swarthmore( Going with the home team)

[BRCE4]

F&M over Hopkins
Ursinus @ Washington 2 teams fighting for seeding I like Shoremen @ home
Dickinson @ Gettysburg Red Devils improving but Bullets will win game important to their seeding
Muhlenberg @ Haverford Mules win to set up seeding showdown in Collegeville
Swarthmore @ McDaniel I pick Swat over a struggling Terror

[r.w. mcnickels]

Eric, thanks for asking about Monday's game, but I would have kept it the same as my Feb. 6 pick (Hopkins). But Swat won anyway, so I guess it didn't matter!

Here are my picks for tonight (2/17):

F&M
Washington
Gettysburg
Haverford
McDaniel

The Dips can't take their foot off the gas pedal this week at home. If they lose in the CC playoffs, these games could determine their chances of a Pool C bid.

[LustyLarryintheToilet]

Much like last year, F&M is already assured a bid barring anything short of a complete collapse.  Theyre really just playing for national seeding now (although i'm sure the Dips will play hard for that tourney title to make amends for last year). 

[oldford]

It is with the very  deepest humility and sincerest gratitude that I thank Swat for beating JHU and allowing my Fords to cling to the slimmest of playoff chances. I think the only scenario that works is the Fords win their next 2 games (no small task), Washington and JHU lose tonight, JHU beats Washington on Saturday. Haverford has the tie breaker over Washington by virtue of the season sweep. All of this is very, very unlikely, but one never knows-there are always the 2008 Eagles!!

[Old Man Terror]

Picks for final two game days are below.  As to the JHU - Swat game my pick would have remained the same.....whatever it was.  I cannot believe you can keep this staright.  Anyway....

2-17 Winners:

Franklin & Marshall
Washington - great matchup for playoff ramifications
Gettysburg
Haverford - Muls continue to struggle
McDaniel - Terror looked much better in the second half against Ursinus.  Hopefully they can keep it together for the last 2 games.  Tough year for the Green Terror.

2/20 Winners:

F & M
Ursinus
McDaniel - I know this is a tough pick over Gettysburg but gotta stick with 'em.
Washington - Playoffs here they come.  Not sure anyone wants Washington in the playoffs.
Haverford

Folks -

Here are my picks for tonight's games:

F&M  (Just need to keep winning one game at a time)

Gettysburg  (Need to win to build some momentum)

Ursinus  (Need to win to build some momentum)

Muhlenberg    (Don't do well away from Memorial Hall, but I think they are stronger than the Fords)

Swarthmore    (A coin toss - perhaps they get finally a big road win tonight).

I am going to try to visit Mayser Center tonight! Good luck. Travel safely and enjoy the games. Regards to all.

Hopkins playing for a play-off spot shocked F&M with a one point victory(46-45).
F&M's horrendous shooting allowed Hopkins to get back into a game where they were losing by 13 with about 10 minutes left.  F&M got stuck on 40 as Hopkins fight their way into the lead.
Three point shooting
F&M 0/11
Hopkins 2/7

Foul shooting
F&M 9/18
Hopkins 10/14

Hopkins had a +4 on the boards, but F&M had a +6 on caused turnovers.
Hopkins had an early lead.  At the 15 minute mark of the first half the score was tied, but F&M built a 6 point lead going into the half.
After the break F&M built a double digit lead, but stalled when they hit 40 points with about 6 1/2 minutes to go.
Farber-Miller lead Hopkins with 14 points--no one else in double figures
McNally lead F&M with 15 points--Baker 12 and Brooks 10.  No one contributed much in points.  Milligan contributed 7 assists.
F&M is making it difficult for themselves when it comes to getting a home game in the NCAA play-offs.

Did anyone have a good night on their picks?
A lot of surprising scores.

[BTEXPRESS]

Nope, I got HAMMERED going 1 and 4 on the night. Oh, the beauty of the CC pickems!!!!!!
