MBB: Centennial Conference

[Reserved Seat]

Looks like this board is going to be very negative this year.
Hopefully, the CC teams can turn around the slow start.  It would be great to have 2 CC teams make the tournament.

Gabriel,
At least most of the scores were competitive.
Cabrini 77 Haverford 65
St. Mary's 78  Washington 74
Marymount 65 Ursinus 58
Washington & Lee 67 Dickinson 65
Alvernia 59 Gettysburg 56
John Hopkins 53 Goucher 49
Widener 82 Swarthmore 56
Frostburg State 76  McDaniel 48
Muhlenberg 74 Moravian 73

Cabrini and St. Mary's are ranked.
The two most shocking results to me were the Muhlenberg and McDaniel scores.
Also, as you pointed out Ursinus is young, so it may take a few games to see their potential.

The 84-page Centennial Conference men's basketball guide is now available online. The guide contains preview information on each team, along with facts and figures from the 18-year history of Centennial basketball. http://www.centennial.org/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/Guide  Hope you enjoy the season!

The Centennial Guide was one of the "inspirations" for my Conference Guidebook effort. It's good stuff.

With Ursinus, you are really talking about a team that is going to be battle tested come CC play.  I like what coach is doing, even in a loss it is about getting guys experience, etc.  Early season a coach should be willing to sacrifice results to find out what he has and what his crunch-time rotation should be.  Going to be a fine year for the Bears.

the bears look like one of several teams that could go either way this year after looking at their roster. they are due to have a good year and i am sure coach small will have them ready mentally. many teams seem reliant on a few players with few teams solid across the board. dickinson seems to play the best team ball though lacking CC stars.CC seems very much up for grabs in terms of playoff spots...that is a good thing

a friend sent me an f&m preview with the following quote:


"I don't think we're half as good as we were last year," Milligan said.

hahaha, even the Dips best player knows there in for a rough year.  I hope my fellow Hooligans are ready to make his life miserable when he travels to our house!  The Bears have been in hibernation, but not anymore!
