Pick
F&M over Muhls

Reserved Seat · February 24, 2012, 10:46:51 PM

Complete game from F&M. Practically everyone scored. Except for fouling aided by generous calls, Washington was able to stay in the game. The Shoremen made 31 fouls shots or the score would have been worse. Thanks goodness the Mules won so we don't have to deal with their fans. Hardly any fans from Allentown.

Centfan, it's gonna be ugly tomorrow as well when my mules beat the overrated dips in their own gym. tomorrow will be malique's coming out party, and I don't think Glenn will be able to run up the score on us. many mule fans are planning to make the trip to Amish land. GO MULES, dipphan where are you now buddy?

Hi Mule, i've been running some efficiency matrices for D3 and i think you are off base with that comment. F&M is a solid defensive team, the second best in the country and you have to wonder if that wont wear on Muhlenberg, especially after the Mules seemingly played a hard fought game tonight. that game is definitely on my radar to watch though along with the ODAC final.

well, mr aluminum soldier, i beg to differ with your efficiency matrices. F&M may be a very good defensive team but the mules match up well at every position with the vaunted diplomats. They have size and skill in the post, and malique is the only guard in the centennial that can stay with milligan. Dips are going DOWN, baby!

haha, well mr Mule thats why this is my favorite sport. the mathematician in me loves the stats, but ulitmately you never know how a team meshes on the floor and how it matches up against an offensive team, defensive team. etc. thats what makes the coaching and strategy so much fun.

and aluminum? ha i think not. Remember there wont be any trumpets blowning come the judgment day, on the bloody morning after when the one tin soldier rides away!!

mulefreak02 · February 25, 2012, 01:39:28 AM

one tin, i look forward to hearing many trumpets "blowning." we'll see who wins tomorrow night. My pick:

Mules 73, F&M 65.

Killing scores 27, Liddic finally makes an NCAA tourney. Enjoy the game, fellow CC fans! GO MULES

centfan · February 25, 2012, 10:49:19 AM

i am rooting for the mules but something tells me killing will not have a good game against f&m due to their defense and guys waiting for him at the rim. milligan will get his, if nowhere else but at the line. curry will have to step up as will another guard for f&m to decide who wins. my guess is liddic will outplay gyochkan. muhlenberg would be helped in this game if they could get more from the very strong starter who is not very produtive but stronger physically than salndra. we shall see. go mules.
my pick...
mules over f&m

Reserved Seat · February 25, 2012, 11:43:27 AM

let the fun begin
F&M over the Mules

Omahamike · February 25, 2012, 03:12:44 PM

I think F&M will win because the Diplomats are 1-0 with Omahamike at Mayser. But I did watch the game from Allentown when the Dips dropped a close one and Mulenberg zone is tough.

Tonight I will be doing a consumer report from my former Skull house. Oh yeah!

Congratulations to Glenn and the Diplomats!

Killing 5 points- a cherry-pick lay-up and 3 foul shots.
Once Milligan let the game come to him, he played fantastic. In the opening minutes, he tried to do too much. But after sitting out briefly, he came out refocused and played his normal game. Great win for F&M. Now they don't have to sweat an at-large bid.

Hoping for a Scranton-York & Messiah-F&M regional and Miseri-St. Mary's & PSU-Hbg-Cabrini regional

That would certainly be 2 interesting pods.

Final score
F&M 71 Muhlenberg 55
Milligan lead all scorers with 21. Gyokchyan and Porter added 11 each.
Boards were even 38/38, but F&M had 20 assists to Muhlenberg's 7.
Curry lead the Mules with 17 points, mostly from long range. Before the game, I told the individuals sitting around me that I feared Curry more than Killing. Liddic added a hard-fought 15 points.
Looking forward to Monday's seedings. Hopefully, F&M has done enough to earn a home game.
