MBB: Centennial Conference

[Reserved Seat]

Rather rely on my crystal ball--my wife would probably pick the teams based on uniforms.
Swarthmore would definitely be out with the S on their butt.

Whenever they're played
#15 Franklin & Marshall
Muhlenberg
Johns Hopkins
Washington
Ursinus

Saturday, February 13(maybe)
#15 Franklin & Marshall(can't afford to lose twice to Washington)
Ursinus(McDaniel season is shot and Ursinus fans are very supportive)
Swarthmore(could be their win away from home)
Johns Hopkins(home team)
Gettysburg(tough call)

saw the haverford/mcdaniel game last night. mcdaniel looked pretty rough without sarris grau, so i understand why they are losing alot lately. many players on mcdaniel looked unskilled and resorted to football like play. not a pretty game. the coach of mcdaniel had several meltdowns as well. all in all, a strange night and not a pretty basketball game.

Sounds like most of the McDaniel games I've seen in the last few years.

Picks for  weds 2/10 and or Thurs 2/11

F & M
Muhlenberg
McDaniel

Not trying to rub it in or anything, but so glad I decided to stay put in FL.
My home in MD has 28 inches from the last storm, with more tonight thru tomorrow.

Enjoy the games but not the weather

Reserved seat,

Your statement makes no sense.  McDaniel had two of their best seasons the past 2 years, while finishing 2nd in the conference a year ago.  They lost alot of seniors, unexpectedly Kevin Henry prior to the season, and then the Sarris-Grau injury really did them in about a month ago.  Alot to overcome this season for any team, but this hardly was the case the past few years.

F&M @ Gettysburg Bullets in an upset at home
Muhlenberg @ Dickinson  Mules win one on road
Hopkins @ McDaniel Terror struggling JHU wins in a tough venue
Washington @Swarthmore Shoremen win in march to playoffs
Ursinus @Haverford picking bears even though it's a must win for Fords

[Old Man Terror]

Snowstorm let's me get the picks in from Wednesday's games (whenever they may finally be played):

Havorford will beat Ursinus

McDaniel will beat JHU.  Yea, yea, I know, but I think they still have something left.  They have been playing very hard; just not effectively...not motivated to win.  Trying too hard not the lose.  Curley needs to let them play a bit and shoot the ball when they have a good shot rather than seemingly demanding they use the entire clock and end up getting a bad shot.  Was also at the Haverford game.  Ugly in many ways.  Curley's outbursts may have been directed towards firing up the team but I would not call them meltdowns.  Couldn't blame him, though.  Fouls were 10 against McDaniel and only 1 foul against the Fords late in the first half.  Almost seemed as though the aggresive defense by Haverford (very good I might add), which could have resulted in many hand check and pushing fouls, was rewarded by the officials by no calls.  Also seemed like only one official made almost all the calls (including a borderline intentional foul).  Same ref missed an inbounds violation right in front of him.  While not a particularly well officiated game that was also not the cause of the lose by the Terror.  The Fords play McDaniel very aggressively and played well.

Franklin & Marshall over Gettysburg.

Muhlenberg over Dickinson.

Washington over Swarthmore.

For Saturday (will it be clear by then?):

Washington will complete the sweep of F & M.  Wow, Sorry guys.

Still gonna stick with McDaniel over Ursinus (Terror always laay well at Ursinus.

Swarthmore over Dickinson.

Haverford over JHU.

Muhlenberg beats Gettysburg..

seems like we saw the same game. the fouls were widely distributed (many for terror, few for fords) in the first half as you said. it should have not been that disparate. the fords are by no means a great team, but they looked like they played better basketball than terror that night. at times,a few terror players seemed to be trying to physically intimidate rather than play ball and i think that is where they went wrong and maybe the foul calls recognized that. your assessment is really fair.mcdaniel will be back...playoffs seem highly unlikely for them this year; fords have an outside shot.

Both Gettysburg and F&M's athletic sites say their game is still on tonight.

The main CC site has not been updated, still showing games listed for yesterday. Anyone have an updated schedule for all the games from Wednesday?
