I could live with the D3 projected bracket.  As long as F&M gets a home pod, I'm fine.

Centfan, it's gonna be ugly tomorrow as well when my mules beat the overrated dips in their own gym. tomorrow will be malique's coming out party, and I don't think Glenn will be able to run up the score on us. many mule fans are planning to make the trip to Amish land. GO MULES, dipphan where are you now buddy?

Hi Mule, i've been running some efficiency matrices for D3 and i think you are off base with that comment.  F&M is a solid defensive team, the second best in the country and you have to wonder if that wont wear on Muhlenberg, especially after the Mules seemingly played a hard fought game tonight.  that game is definitely on my radar to watch though along with the ODAC final.

well, mr aluminum soldier, i beg to differ with your efficiency matrices. F&M may be a very good defensive team but the mules match up well at every position with the vaunted diplomats. They have size and skill in the post, and malique is the only guard in the centennial that can stay with milligan. Dips are going DOWN, baby!

I think it's safe to say that this prediction was wrong.  Hope you didn't bet on that game.

York PA at F&M
Other in pod: Western Conn vs. CNU

See you at Mayser this weekend!!!
the York game should bring in good fans for both!

It looks like I will have to get a consumer reporting assignment in Lancaster and then Amherst.  Does F and M have any chance against Amherst which is a very tough Sweet 16 opponent.

As a Western Connecticut student I will be there Friday, and hopefully Saturday as well.

You should get there first.  I don't think the Centennial has any players like DaQuan Brooks in the league.

Welcome to a real board!!! 2007 was the last time any team from the "Little East" conference got to the sectionals where Rhode Island College pounded by Amherst 81-69... Enjoy the trip to Amish Country where Final Four, Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen are in the common vocabulary... Should be a great weekend in Lancaster!!!

It is going to be tough, but I remember being at F&M in the 90s when Amherst came into Mayser and beat a very highly ranked F&M team.

I just hope we get the chance to go, as Amherst is very close to home.

Should be an excellent first-round game as longtime friends Robinson and Gamber coach against each other one final time. York is playing well for their retiring coach, so I think the Spartans will be a difficult test for F&M. Western Conn. and CNU also look very good - it should be a great weekend of hoops in Mayser. Any discussion of Amherst is way too premature.

F&M plays defense(average giving up around 55 a game)
Matt Porter was on the all-conference team for his defense.
Porter will probably cover Brooks.
Very few individuals ever score 30 or more for F&M.
Gyokchyan had 18 points in the first half on Friday.  The other team switched defense, so instead of forcing the ball inside, F&M just switched to outside shooting.  F&M is very deep.  They rely on Milligan and anyone else.

To the F & M contingent, if you did not know, Amherst will most likely not be hosting the sectionals this year.  The women have that nailed down by the NCAA and they will not likely lose in the first round.  Amherst will be traveling if they are fortunate enough to advance past NYU.  Very talented team that has really come together over the last 10 games.  Very deep bench and size.

Seems a little unfair to the Amherst men, not that I'm complaining.

But logically, wouldn't MIT be next in line?

I would guess Hartwick would be next in line if they win, but if not then probably F&M over MIT? Probably a toss up? I'm not seeing any potential >500 miles to worry about.
I think we have to wait and see who wins. It may be the bigger question in this fourth of the bracket.
