MBB: Centennial Conference

[diplomaniac1]

Folks -

Here are my picks for tomorrow's games:

Johns Hopkins over Swarthmore
McDaniel over Haverford
Gettysburg over Ursinus
Dickinson over Washington
F&M over Muhlenberg

All home teams - it makes me wonder about my crystal ball!?! Let's hope the forecasted bad weather doesn't materialize and/or doesn't prevent the games from being played. Also, let's hope McNally is ready to go tomorrow!

I will be at Mayser. Travel carefully and safely. Enjoy the games. Regards to all.

Picks for the week:
Wednesday, 2/9/2011
McDaniel over JHU---Terror not likely to lose at home
Muhlenberg over Dickinson---good game but Mule have home court
Washington College over Swarthmore---WC playing better each week
F&M over Gettysburg---better team wins on the road
Ursinus over Haverford---should be a great game with Bears holding on

Saturday, 2/12/2011
Ursinus over JHU---home court should do it
McDaniel over Muhlenberg---again, Terror will win at home
Dickinson over Haverford---good game with home court the difference
F&M over Swarthmore---too many guns for the Garnet to handle
Washington College over Gettysburg---tough to win after a long trip to the shore

Unfortunately i think this is a bad spot for F&M.  Every CC team treats their home F&M game like a super bowl, plus the Dips will have added pressure of Robinsons 800th.

Great article on Glenn Robinson in Philly Inquirer: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/colleges/20110208_Franklin_and_Marshall_s_Robinson_nears_another_milestone.html?page=2&c=y

Daily Local News (West Chester, Pa.) chimes in with good story as well: http://dailylocal.com/articles/2011/02/06/sports/doc4d4f24e19e6df738052188.txt

Interesting game tonight in GBurg.  If fandm wins you gotta think they have an excellent chance to run the table till the CC tourney.  That might get them in the d3 tourney even if they lose a final. 

also, any idea why Zurn hasnt been playing for GBurg? that guy used to eat us up

Lost in the Robinson coverage is the fact that Andrew Powers will likely break the all-time Gettysburg scoring record tonight. I think the Dips will be feeling the pressure of #800. I remember they lost their first cracks at 500 and 600, delaying those milestones for one game. The Bullets win a very tight game in front of a large crowd. Number 800 comes at Swarthmore.

this should bring you to a search page that has video of Glenn Robinson on ESPN this morning.  A really good interview that was obviously well planned and produced by ESPN.

To the commish or whomever edits this  biased forum. A forum by definition is an exchange of opinions and views and I think that includes those that oppose undeserved ass kissing. Evidently., no one seems to want to allow an honest opinion of Mr Robinson as seen from outside the world of F&M. Many, many "fans" of basketball in private seem to have the same view I posted earlier today. If you can honestly watch an F&M game and not see evidence of this then shame on all of you rose colored glasses wearing Mr. Robinson "fans". No foul language or verbal abuse was posted just an honest assessment from an outside party. Shame on all of you involved with this farce of a forum.
