Reserved Seat: Agree great road win for the Dips. I was also surprised that there wasn't more fans. Very few F & M faithful. That being said, Ursinus is a tough place to play, their student section fans are some of the best in the CC. I also questioned several of the calls late in the game. Why wasn't the intentional foul called? You are also right, the Bears should have been called for several walks which the Refs just ignored. Overall, a very entertaining night. I think one of the Keys was holding Noonan to 2 points in the first half and Scovill came up with some big shots at the right time.

Picks for 2/14/2009 Happy Valentines Day

F&M (On a roll and at home)
Ursinus (Bears prevail in the battle of the under achievers)
JHU (a mild upset that Hopkins must have to stay in the hunt)
Gettysburg (although dysfunctional they have enough to beat Swat)
Washington (my upset of the day, Shoremen tough at home)

I agree with what D.B. said about Milligan, and would add that he's having the best freshman season I've ever seen in the Centennial Conference.

A quote from r.w. 

r.w.

No doubt Milligan is have a wonderful year, however, before you anoint him "the best freshman ever", I can think of three who might compete for the "title"

Mike McGarvey in 2003
Nick Shattuck in 2005
Richie Barrett in 1998

I am sure there are more

Gabriel-

Good point about other freshmen.  It's a fun debate, because you can look at it several ways (statistically, greatest impact on the team, etc).  McGarvey, Shattuck, and Barrett all had tremendous rookie years.  I think McGarvey had the best season of those three, starting as a freshman point guard for a team that won the conference.  And didn't he lead the CC in assists as a freshman?

Here's the reason I said Milligan is having the best rookie year I've seen: He might be F&M's most indispensable player on a team with several key players.  He's among the CC leaders in scoring, assists, steals, blocks, and minutes played.  As D.B. said, if you take away Milligan, F&M is not sitting at 20-2 right now.   Gettysburg coach Petrie said in a recent article that Milligan is the key to the Dips.  Maybe others in the Centennial have had better freshman seasons, but Milligan has had the most impressive statistical season and the greatest impact of any rookie I've seen.

McGarvey did lead in assists and, I believe in steals.  He was such a smart player with great court sense----attributes that don't always show in the stats.  Shattuck did not start as a freshman but played lots of minutes as the sixth man and was always on the floor at "crunch time".  I did not see Barrett play that much but his statistics speak for themselves and he was 1st team all conference as a freshman.

Milligan will be first team all conference, I think.  Who will the others be?  Who will the the POY?

Ugh ... had a reply typed, but I guess it took too long and I got logged out and lost the post.  That's what I get for eating before finishing.  Anyway, here's the gist:

Milligan can set the CC records for A/G (5.6 - current record is 5.1) and S/G (2.4 - current record is 2.3) by a freshman if he continues to play at a high level.

Milligan's numbers are better than McGarvey's freshman year in almost every category.  The biggest difference is in scoring (14.2 vs 8.6) - McGarvey wasn't asked to score nearly as much because he had 3 other scorers (19 ppg, 19 ppg, and 16 ppg). McGarvey was more efficient because of his 3-point shooting, and I wonder how the A/G would compare if "hockey assists" were counted.  Still, given how much Milligan is asked to do, I think his season (so far) is better.

Also, unless the CC record book is wrong, Barret was 2nd team as a freshman.

Old Ends,
I believe I was only 3-2.  I had only 4 individuals at 4-1.


The end of F&M's game was quite humorous as Brundage chased McNally all over the court trying to foul him, even though the ball was still being inbounded at the other end of the court.
I was waiting for McNally to run off the court to see if Brundage would follow.

RS

tis fixed...sorry for the oops, can only blame it on flying back from Fl to get people in to fix Yesterdays storm damage.. Trees and fencing took a hit. Looked almost like loggers came and drop trees and forgot to cut them up.

None near the house so hopefully by Sunday I can get back down to FL.

Pick-ems for Valentine's Day

F  & M(hopefully, no let down on Selig(senior) Night)
Ursinus(still a scary team with a lot weapons-home crowd helps drastically)
Muhlenberg(like their big man against JH)
Gettysburg (should finally get a win)
McDaniel (still fighting for regular season title)

Why is Gettysburg struggling?  The only rumors I've heard is they don't play as a team-more concerned with individual stats.  True???

How is home court for the play-offs determined if F&M and McDaniel tie.  Season split--head-to-head
Still counting on Gettysburg to beat(upset) McDaniel
