MBB: Centennial Conference

[diplomaniac1]

Folks -

Here are my predictions for tomorrow's (Wednesday, Febraury 15, 2011) "Pick-Ems" Games:

McDaniel over Swarthmore (Terror gets the home court edge over improving Garnet)
Franklin And Marshall over Johns Hopkins (Diplomats win a tight one in Baltimore)
Washington over Ursinus (its hard for a road team to win in Chestertown)
Muhlenberg over Haverford (even though Mules somtimes struggle on the road)
Dickinson over Gettsburg (Devils continue late season surge)

I hope to make the trek to Baltimore tomorrow night to see the Diplomats battle the Blue Jays in Goldfarb! Enjoy the games. Regards to all. Travel safely!

Eric

Picks:

McDaNIEL (hard to judge but are at home)
F&M (steel cage match likely, dips likely to throw in clunker this week I'm leaning to @ Carlisle)
Washington (rights ship now)
Haverfords (Squirrels playng well lately, do or be gone in this fierce one)
G-burg (upset, projectiles firing well lately, backs against the wall)

Thank you for the welcome Eric and Pat.  I hope to see you at the conference tournament. I am trying to get my bosses to approve a consumer report while there. More details to come.

Watching the F&M and JHU game on the web... What a bunch of classless fans at Hopkins who are chanting "USA, USA, USA" while Hayk Gyokchyan is taking foul shots... Nice to see the diversity classes are completely empty at such a prestigious university... Very disappointing...

Just watched the end of the WC / UC game. Wow. Just wow.

The Hopkins' fans seemed to have an identity problem--there was a chicken/canary,an oriole, a penguin, and some unknown bird, but no blue jays.  Hopkins has a nice team consisting of a load(34), some quickness, some skilled shooters and a thug(33).  Milligan played a terrific game despite being constantly hounded.  He finished with 27 points, while Early had a career high with 24 points.  Porter continued his outstanding defense.  Hayk had difficulty with trying to make his moves  under the basket due to the presence of the 6' 10" big man.  All in all it was a very entertaining game in Baltimore.

A good win in Chestertown, but Ursinus has been eliminated from the playoff picture, according to the UC website.

Same thing happened on Saturday at the JHU/Ursinus game.  "The Boys" were even more vulgar and did not represent JHU well.  They drew the attention of someone who appeared to be an AD or assistant and a security officer.  Talking to them did no good.  Not a good display of sportsmanship.

Final regular season picks:

McDaniel
Muhlenberg
Washington
Haverford (race is not always to the mighty or the swift, but that is how to bet)
Dickinson (typical game for Dips not to be ready for tough Devils greater urgency, Prize for this loss could be a weekend in Middlebury, Amherst or Ashland, VA)

I could see that, especially Dickinson. It would kind of figure that F&M would end up playing in New England the one year we probably won't be able to go see them. My wife is due in just over 3 weeks, and we live in north-central Massachusetts. Made the trip to Kings Point a few years ago, but this would be ridiculously convenient.

We were at the Bears, Hopkins game on this past Saturday the 11th,(senior day for them), and the student section for the most part was just typical student section antics. A couple boarderline remarks but most were just entertaining and loud, so I tend to disagree with the previous remarks on here about them. Its actually good to see student support of a team at homes games, something I can't claim for the Bears at home this year.  I will say the previous week we were at the Bears/ Dickinson game @ Dickinson and that student section was as rude, classless, and obscene a student section that I've ever seen or played in front of personally at a gym. Among many, one of the most offensive was 2 or 3 different students at points, when most in the gym were quiet, singling out a specific Bear player by name and yelling that he sucks. In other words, first name, last name then "sucks". Over and over again, during both halfs of the game without anyone from Dickinson saying a word. Most in the Bears crowd who heard it all commented afterwards and a few wrote letters, (including I) to Dickinson Athletics and the school itself. I personally have yet to hear from anyone at Dickinson which is classless and a crime for such a "scholastic institution" with their rep. This Ursinus player targeted had both parents, both grandmothers and other friends and relatives at this game. Truly a shame that this is considered acceptable behavior at Dickinson. On a happier note, Great win last night by the Bears, a total team effort , and a great finish!! Congrats to the Bears!!

Hopkins' game
Same behavior last night.  Security talked to them and then they mocked him when he turned his back.
They were almost on the court.  If anyone would have tried to save a ball from going out of bounds, they wouldn't have been able to reach it would out being interfered.

Dickinson cheer
Typical from past years experiences.
I'll hear what they say this year on Saturday.
