MBB: Centennial Conference

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Getting these games in with Ursinus, which have affects on standings and tie-breakers, is going to be a nightmare if they can't play tomorrow.

If there isn't a comfort level with playing games at Ursinus, could a neutral site could be found? And for mine, I'd rather beg a key and potty at the Sunoco station than risk that exposure. BUT---  Need to get those games in!

Not a time of year you want your team exposed to an unknown contagion.

It's more than just playing AT Ursinus... health commission won't let the team LEAVE Ursinus... so neutral court doesn't matter at all.

Wow, my apologies--that sounds ominous. I truly thought they'd find it a case of large scale food poisoning; in and of itself not pleasant.  Have there been any new cases beyond that massive initial group?

[Gabriel]

My understanding is that they think it is the Noro virus which is wicked but short term.  How it arrived on campus, they don't know and probably never will.  It is highly contagious but short term so hopefully it has run its course.

Gabriel,
What's the status of tonight's game?

Thanks
It's going to be a real challenge to get in all the games for Ursinus.

Just curious for you guys who see a lot more conference games than I do - who's your pick for freshman of the year?

I see two or three guys who've got good stats, but I haven't even seen them all on video this year.

If F&M wins Wednesday or Saturday, could F&M/Ursinus just be canceled?
I know it's not ideal for either team, but it wouldn't matter CC Tournament seedings wise and Gettysburg/Ursinus would.
I'm not sure how the 1 game not missing might affect F&M (albeit tiny) at-large NCAA chances.
Ursinus has, what, 4 games that need to be played in 6, 7, maybe 8, days.

Keep in mind, Ursinus has not been eliminated and they are still in the hunt.  Would it be fair to start canceling games?  I think not!

I thought Ursinus was eliminated, but since that's clearly not the case then it has to be played (but that doesn't mean the game won't matter by Saturday). I didn't look as closely at the records as I should have.

Glad I don't work in scheduling for Ursinus....

and now that I've written this, something is somehow going to come down to this game....

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Got word from Ursinus (I think the schedule is updated on d3hoops.com) - F&M tomorrow (Tuesday), @ Haverford Wednesday, Muhlenberg Saturday, and @ Gettysburg on Monday.  Four games in seven nights - all of them will mean something (even if Ursinus gets eliminated, it'll matter for opponents).

[Reserved Seat]

Certainly makes a tough schedule for all the teams involved.  F&M now has to play a game the night before their key game with Gettysburg.
