MBB: Centennial Conference

[saratoga]

How do you not start the kid who was the face of your program in his last game?
Seems a bit heartless.

Wonder if there's more to the story.

F&M beats Dickinson - I think they get second place based on tiebreakers, right (it goes all the way to Ursinus, if I'm not mistaken).

From what I can tell... yes, F&M over Dickinson based on results vs. Ursinus (F&M 2-0, Dickinson 1-1).

Does it matter in any way- 2 seed vs 3?

Not really - it decides which jerseys they wear, right?

hard to say why killing didn't start. maybe something happened and coach felt he shouldn't even play at all and then decided to let him play. my guess is that something has to have happened that we are not privy to. on another note, i love the centennial but do not think we have a team that can go far in the tournament this year. that is not a popular view on this board but that is what i feel. we shall see.

I am hoping Gburg can keep the train moving! They are playing very well right now, getting multiple scoring options, and playing great together. It is tough to beat a team in back to back games, but that is what must be done. I think if they can get by McD you just never know what could happen. They were up 17 on Hopkins at Goldfarb and left it slip away. But since that game they have really appeared to come together. Good luck to all teams!

Maybe the Coach put him in the game in the 2nd half to score a FG for his 1900th point, after going 2-10 from the field, and thought that was a fitting moment and enough to end to his Career??    Maybe he felt it would be disrespectful to the young man if he inserted him late in the game as a "curtain call" after the last 4 years??

congrats to Hopkins...the best team in the conference this year. you are what your record is, and Hopkins went a very strong 16-2 in conference, tied with F&M in points scored, and they had the best defense with least points scored against them.

I said it in one of my early posts this year that I thought only 1 CC team would make the NCAA tournament and it most likely will come down to if JHU wins the conference tourny or not.  If they do, I dont believe CC will get another team, if not then CC will probably get 2 teams.  I think Dickinson/F&M are just okay  - no motivation for either team on Saturday, and personally, if I was playing in that game, knowing how tough it is to beat any team 3 times, let alone a rival, I am sure Dickinson wasn't too upset with the loss since they knew they were going to have to turn around and play F&M less than a week later.  Both games this year weren't that close, but I see Friday night being much more competitive on neutral court with each knowing their only chance of playing past CC tourny is winning it.

Scuttlebutt at the game was Killin missed practice on Friday for an academic related obligation.  Which is funny I thought that is why kids go to schools like those in the CC.  If true, a pathetic move by the coach and a major red flag for parents and recruits

[Hooper]

very classy!   You have ALL the answers... No reason to be in Collegeville in a meaningless game unless you have a son on the team.  Hope it works out for you.   Good luck!

Killing played 14 minutes, jacked up 10 shots---made one.  Coach wanted to win the game.  Great talent but did not know how to use it. That is the story.
