Muhlenberg over Dickinson mules need it mor

Washington over Swat scrappy shoremen win with defense
Ursinus over Haverford, waiting for Ursinus to explode
F&M over Gettysburg Should be a great game
Muhlenberg over Dickinson Mules can't afford to drop to 1-3

I was correct that Ursinus was due for an explosion what surprised me was that Haverford was able to put up 108

Folks -

Earlier this week, I missed posting one of today's games for the "Pick-Ems" group. It is as follows:

Washington College @ McDaniel

Sorry about that ommission. All selections for this games as well as the other three games are due by game time. Good luck.

If F&M does not lose through January, G Robinson will get his 800th win on Jan 29th at Haverford!  When do you think the 800th happens??

[highhoops]

the 800th win will not happen at haverford...that is for sure

I think F&M loses at least one game before then. Haverford is on the tail end of a 6-out-of-7 stretch of games on the road, and none of those gyms (McDaniel, Muhlenberg, etc.) will be cakewalks.

The Dips should just focus on the next game, and the rest will take care of itself.

cakewalks, no, but haverford looks pretty good this year (though they didn't play well against F&M). the conference is upside down (except F&M) which is interesting and makes for a good race for playoffs.

I too am optimistic about Haverford especially after the Gettysburg and Ursinus wins. Of course, I am very biased. Haverford teams tend to start slowly. The past 7 years, their record before winter break is a woeful 17-35 (excluding the division I games and 16-19 in the conference) , but 64-56 after (including the 4 post season appearances; 52-43 in conference). They are 5-5 this year which is an unusually good start (none of the past seven year starts are this good).

Folks -

The "Pick-Ems" standings through and including the most recent weekend's games (12/7 - 12/11) is shown below:

NAME   LAST NIGHT   TO-DATE   PERCENTAGE
         
Reserved Seat   4 – 4   18 – 8    .692
HighHoops   3 – 1    6 – 3    .667
BRCE4   2 – 2    12 – 7    .632
Diplomaniac1   2 – 7    18 – 16    .629
Gabriel   4 – 5    17 – 16    .515
         
It looks like most of us (myself included) could use some new crystall balls! It just goes to show the unpredictability and uncertainty in the Conference right now early in the season. I didn't even have 25% of the recent games correctly picked.

Regards to all.

Fellow Centennial Conference Fans and Prognosticators -

As near as I can tell, the following is a listing of all of the remaining games in 2010 involving teams from the Centennial Conference:

Saturday, December 18
Washington College @ Hood College

Sunday, December 19
Lycoming @ Dickinson
Alvernia @ McDaniel

Tuesday, December 21
Washington College @ Maryland-Eastern Shore

Tuesday, December 28
Dickinson @ Radford

Wednesday, December 29
Ursinus vs. Medialle (neutral court at Hampden-Sydney Tournament)
Gettysburg vs. Illinois-Weslyan (neutral court at Cal-Lutheran Tournament)

Thursday, December 30
Averett vs. Johns Hopkins (neutral court at Randolph Macon Tournament)

Friday, December 31
Johns Hopkins vs. Randolph Macon (at Randolph Macon Tournament)

I will post the December 30th games involving Gettysburg and Usinus at a later date after their opponents have been determined. The Ursinus game is at the Hampden-Sydney Tournament and the Geettysburg game is at the Cal-Lutheran Tournament. Both games should be neutral court games.

All selections are due by game time on the respective days of the games. I probably will not post any new standings until after january 1, so as to incorporate all of the above games.

Good luck and enjoy. Best wishes for the holidays. Travel safely. Regards to all.

Eric
