MBB: Centennial Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

UC - I will be there for the second straight year covering the games... and while I won't get the chance to really wine and dine in Vegas due to my schedule... I do suggest Craft Steak in the MG (there is also a sandwich version I plan to visit right near the restaurant). It is Tom Colicchio's (Top Chef fame) place and I had an incredible meal there last year... but money has to be no object! :-)

As for Ursinus... I don't have my hopes up. The teams seems to be stuck in a rut and games against Ramapo and Skidmore may not help.

To complete its allotted allowance of 25 games, F&M added a rematch with Oneonta State.  F&M searched over 150 schedules looking for an opponent that needed another game.  One other team was located but wouldn't play F&M.

I assume they will be heading to their place since they made the first trip? Or has that not been determined yet?

[Reserved Seat]

The game will be at F&M.  Oneonta will be returning from a game down south and will stop in Lancaster on the way back.

Great find F&M! A really tough opponent for Glenn's bunch!!!

[Reserved Seat]

Not the opponent they wanted, but everyone else's schedule was complete.  One other school was available, but their record was even worse.  F&M offered to go to their court but they weren't willing to play F&M.  You take what you can get. Two years ago Oneonta was 22-7, ending their season with a loss to F&M allowing F&M to make the Elite Eight.

gee, ya think! It's only halfway through the season. wasn't another game with LBC possible?

Happy holidays to all...it sure is for my 8-2 mules. Our star studded lineup is only getting better!

[UCHooligan98]

Hey Freak, i imagine going to school in the slums of Allentown gives you a tough skin, but youre nuts if you think the Mules are a contender.  You beat Swat and Medger Evers, lets see what happens when conference play really gets going and you have to face the Bears. 

[mulefreak02]

Hey hooley, before ripping a-town, maybe you should check which city your precious star player hails from. and it's interesting that you bring up the mules beating Swat. what was that Ursinus-Swat score again? maybe you should stick to breaking down the vegas restaurant scene.

Makes sense for Oneonta to go to F&M if they are heading that way.  At this time of the year you take whatever game you can get.  Options are limited, and a game is a game.
