After being sick for a couple of days, I think I've lost track of my picks.  I sure I missed some.  I believe all my picks are in for Saturday except for the John Hopkins/Mary Washington game.
pick-John Hopkins
Will JH also have a game on Sunday?

Hopkins is hosting a 2 day tourny, so they will play on Sunday, with the other team to be determined. I noticed that Ferber-Miller did not play in the Blue Jay last game. Don't know why not. I hope he's still with the team and not injured. That would be a big blow to their game.

In another ugly, careless, and poorly-officiated game, F&M held on for a 87-80 win over Susquehanna.  F&M was able to hold Spencer to 13(most scored near the end of the game)
Susquehanna's 2 big freshmen played outstanding games.  Wilson seemed unconscious as he hit several shots from way out.  Fortunately for F&M, Wilson cooled off as the game went on.
Burke and Bryski seemed to be playing football instead of basketball.
Both sides suffered from poor officiating.  Touch fouls were being called away from the basket, and some physical fouls were missed under the basket.  Good defensive play earned a whistle.
F&M picked up 22 fouls putting several key players in foul trouble, limiting their minutes on the court. F&M had numerous players with 4 fouls for a good part of the last 10-12 minutes of the game. Henry played a lot of quality time for Baker and McNally.  Susquehanna was whistle for 27 fouls-with a half dozen or more coming when Susquehanna was in foul mode at the end of the game.  None of their players were in foul trouble. 
Despite some careless play, Milligan lead the team with 23 points, hitting several key threes when Susquehanna cut the margin to 2.  F&M had 16 turnovers.  McNally had 18 points including his 1,000th career point.  McNally, also, pulled down his 500th career rebound.
Beckford, Brooks, Henry, and Baker all reached double figures with 11 points each.
In the second half, F&M appeared reluctant to shot with everyone seeming to be afraid to pull the trigger.  Tolliver had no points, but played great defense on Spencer especially in the first half when Spencer had 4 points.

In a brawl at Mayser, F&M survived 63-57 againist Manhattanville.  In a game decided at the foul line, F&M converted numerous key fouls down the stretch, spending more time on the foul line than running plays.  Two key steals on Manhattanville's next to last two possessions allowed F&M to finish the game shooting 5 of 6 from the foul line.  Manhattanville was whistled for 28 fouls and F&M for 20 in one of the most physical games ever played at F&M.  It was a wonder that F&M's players were able to keep their shirts tucked in with all the shirt pulling.  Manhattanville sent in waves of players to harrass F&M's attempt to run any sort of offensive.  F&M countered by playing much more physically in the second half.  McNally struggled to get into the flow of the game and spent much time on the bench with foul trouble.  Milligan was able to get the ball down the court on most possessions and lead all scorers with 16 points.  Baker scored 10 points and pulled down an aggressive 12 boards.  Brooks added 12 points and 7 rebounds.  Manhattanville powered their way back into the game in the second half with their aggressive play.
Foul shooting
Manhattanville 16-24
F&M 29-41

F&M had 7 blocks to Manhattanville's 1.
Steals even at 10.
Turnovers(caused by the tenacious defenses) Manhattanville-22  F&M-20
