4/5 last night--decent start--I guess I bought into the preseason Swarthmore hype.
F&M played well last night.  After a slow start, McNally turned it on to play a good game.  Milligan had another solid night including a good defensive night on Breslin.  The Shoremen never gave up, but were over-matched at most positions.  Hayk had another decent game off the bench, and my key to F&M's success, Max Brewer, played a complete game on both sides of the court.  Foul shooting could still be an Achilles heel.

Are any Diplomat fans thinking of making the trip to the F&M game at St. Mary's this Saturday? If so, please get in touch with me through this site. I am considering traveling to the game, but I don't want to make the lengthy trip alone. Accordingly, I could be presuaded to drive to the game or split the gas as a passenger in someone else's vehicle. Please advise. Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Drive safely if traveling. Regards,

Eric

diplomaniac1,
Haven't decided what to do yet.  I was definitely going to go until I had more complications from my surgery.
An 8-hour trip doesn't sound like the smartest thing to  do.  If I go, it will be a last minute decision.

diplomaniac1,
Would our routes to St. Mary's overlap in any way that I would be able to meet you somewhere?

F&M struggled to one of the worst halves ever played by F&M.  F&M used up precious time trying to get the ball up court against St. Mary's trapping full-court press.  Turnovers and numerous three point shoots allowed St. Mary's to coast to a 60-31 halftime advantage.  St. Mary's seemed more aggressive and quicker.  Hopefully, part of the disadvantage was the long ride to court. St. Mary's had more depth and height and took advantage of both. St. Mary's led the rebounding 37-29 even though F&M closed the gap in the second half.  St. Mary's bench outscored F&M's 35-7.
F&M came out more intense in the second half but it was way to late.  Even when F&M appeared to change the momentum, St. Mary's would hit a big three(8 for 15).  F&M struggled from the three(3 for 14)  F&M shot 44% for the game to St. Mary's 59%.
F&M wasn't bad from the line but missed some key foul shots during their second half effort.
One lose--hopefully one lesson learned.

Thanks for the offer. I decided to pass on the long trek to St. Mary's. Since I just changed jobs and am now starting to get packed for a move, it seemed a better use of time than eight hours round trip. Quite frankly, I am gld that I didn't see the debacle.

Saw F&M got a legit whooping last night down at St Marys.  giving up 60 points in the first half and being down 29 was probably not the game plan for Coach Robinson.  Mcnally was neutralized and they just didnt look like they were ready to play from the box score.  St Marys had all year to think about and prepare for the game considering F&M beat St Marys twice last year and put SMC out of the NCAAs last year in the sweet 16. Must have been a terrible 5 hour ride back home to Amish Town for Robinson and company.  CAC has been beating CC teams all year except for Gettysburg beating York today.  CAC may be the better conference top to bottom now since they lost Galluadet and added Frostburg

Fortunately, the ride was less than 4 hours.

At what supersonic speed were you traveling? I assume there were no leg-stretching or "call of nature "stops included on your trip!
