I think uc hulligan may be right.  bad half for dips.  at least they are in the tourney and magic number is 4.  haek and porter have to stay out of foul trouble.

[dipphan]

Contracts to georgio who is now second place all time in points scored at f and m.  best player in centennial. eat me everyone else!

[Pat Coleman]

eat me everyone else!

People still say this? Seriously?

C'mon, dipphan -- show a little class.

Tough game for F&M at Collegeville.  Ursinus took an early lead 34-31 at the half which could have been larger if Ursinus hadn't thrown the ball out of bounds so often.  At the start of the second half Ursinus built a 39-31 and then went scoreless while F&M scored 14 points.  Foul shooting was horrendous--F&M 20-35 and Ursinus 19-26.  Three point shooting was also bad with each team only making 3.  Gyokchyan was limited to 15 minutes with foul trouble with several appearing to be phantom fouls. Ward and Ursinus' other big men did a good job of taking away a lot of F&M's inside game.
Morgan Lee provided 8 key points to the offense.  Milligan lead all scorers with 19 points(Salandra added 17)
Ursinus was held to 20 points in the second half.  Ward worked hard for his Academy Award but came up short.

Gabriel, I tried to meet you, but couldn't find anyone who knew you.  The former athletic director(baseball coach)? even asked me who I was looking for.  Looking forward to seeing Ursinus in the play-offs.

dipphan,
are you serious?...there's someone i want to introduce you to.

hey pat, do you expect anything better from an F&M fan?

[UCHooligan98]

i could not be in collegeville tonight, nor could i watch.  i thought this year would be a better year as i recently made partner at my firm (youngest partner in my firm's history, but i digress).  sadly a huge case hit my plate last month, and its just a mess.  I'm a divorce attorney, and the woman who we're defending is just a nutcase.  She wont listen to one thing we say, and the prep on this cost me the chance to enjoy tonight.  From what i heard, the refs took over this game and the winner was the team that could make their free throws.  hopefully UC can recover and nab a fifth seed, but i give a lot of credit to this team.  F&m seems like a legit top ten team, and to even be competitive into half 2 deserves credit.  best wishes to all. 

And Mule, my wife says she's up for Sands so i look forward to seeing you again on Sat!

From what i heard, the refs took over this game and the winner was the team that could make their free throws.

F&M shot 57% from the line, while Ursinus hit 73%.  The winner was the team that played better defense and took better care of the ball.
