MBB: Centennial Conference

[Reserved Seat]

Currently Rogo is recovering from a stress fracture.  He was getting an MRI, but I haven't heard any results. Braham is having his ACL surgery this week.

Let's discuss (sports) in a positive way, sometimes kidding each other with no disrespect.

What was disrespectful toward D.B.?

Don Lane Classic:
1. Get initially a tough MSJ who's unbeaten in their conference. They ony have a short jaunt from Cincy to Lexington, but Dips may be suffering from 10+ hour bus ride.

Looks to me like DB made a point and tried to use evidence to defend said point.  Not really sure if that warranted being called out in such a way.  Should be interesting game either way.  Sadly my laptop broke so i wont be able to catch any online feed (if there is any).

[Pat Coleman]

I guess I look at it as also making a point and using evidence to defend it. Just because it's a disagreement doesn't mean it's personal, right?

[diplomatjunkie]

Perhaps it was your phrasing, like bold words and red flags.  Maybe you could have simply stated that you disagree with D.B.'s assessment that MSJ is tough.....

[diplomatjunkie]

Can anyone view the F & M game?  The feed keeps saying it hasn't started, yet.  I thought there was a 7:30 start.....

Still can't see the game.  It just froze.

Video was OK for a while, then went off. Live stats seems to be working:

Second half video worked except for a short delay.
Hot shooting from beyond the arc by Mt. St. Joseph almost kills F&M.
Figueroa has the first key game of his career.
Gyokchyan comes alive in the second half after a scoreless first half.
Early carries the team for the first half.
David Mann lights up the board for Mt. St. Joseph with 31 points.

[r.w. mcnickels]

RS, I noticed that Beckford didn't play the second half. Maybe he suffered an injury while the video was out? Figueroa looked good, and F&M needed him as MSJ shot 12-23 beyond the arc.

Didn't see the first game, but Transy has to be feeling good after knocking off Wooster.

You guys get really worked up over six bolded characters in about 7-point type. Sheesh.

a tough crowd on here pat...can make a man feel alone sometimes.
looks like dickinson met a tough merchant marine team...reed buck handled the paint and dickinson,essentially winning due to 2 main guys, is stopped when both were limited and defended.
f&m squeaks by again...i see some losses in their future.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I am surprised, I think, but the Dickinson result. I thought they were a tough team in the Centennial this year, but to lose to Merchant Marine is a surprise. That being said, USMMA has been a little topsy-turvy this season. Bad losses to Goucher and Moravian stand out, but they have also played tough and beaten teams like Scranton on the road...

Not sure how I read into this game from the Dickinson point of view.

[onetinsoldier]

not sure how surprised I can be by a December game.  I mean think about it, for these kids it is the last day before they get to go home for Christmas.  Assuming theyre travelling with the team, its a 5 hour ride back to Carlisle.  I liken it to a business trip, on Friday i'm always less focused than on Tuesday.

Morgan Lee is starting for F & M instead of Beckford....was he injured last night, as suggested in a previous post?
