MBB: Centennial Conference

not really sure what makes F&M a top ten team. Theyll probably be lucky to win the conference this year.

F&M should have a good team. It will depend on how well and how soon Rogo and Figueroa can blend in. Winning the CC will be challenging, since there are a lot of teams with returning quality players. F&M should definitely be in the mix since they have 4 returning starters. Robinson will have to cut several players once he's able to see them play.

I thought F&M and Cabrini were both a little high myself, but we'll see how the season plays out. If we don't know sooner, we should at least have some indication by the time F&M goes to Transylvania.

i think the thing about f&m in the conference that gives them an edge is that they have bigs, or strong guys down low that play tougher than almost all the other bigs in the conference. dickinson has a strong big, hopkins seemed strong down low physically last year, but everyone else seems like they have little to modest strength in the paint. most of the bigs in the conference don't command the paint and make guys think twice about coming in there..

On the eve to the start of the season, I wish you all good luck, a great season, and many many happy memories. This is the final season I will be involved in the league so I do hope it is a great season, especially for Swarthmore. I can't believe how fast these four years have gone by. It seems like it was just yesterday I was getting ready to watch my first game at Swat. So, tons of smiles, lots of thrills, and some good hoop to all of you. In four months, I will really miss all this!

Swat Dad, hope your son has a great year. I'll tell Porter not to cover him too close. Fortunately, he won't listen.

F&M's roster is announced tonight. Only a few more cuts, and it will be official.

Does F&M scrimmage Messiah again this year? If so, who will host and is it an open scrimamge? Although very early in the year, two NCAA teams from a year ago, could show us something.

My thought Dickinson vs F&M for CC Tournament Championship. Although there are no sure bets this year in the CC

Tentatively, F&M is scheduled to scrimmage Messiah at Messiah on the 11th. F&M introduced 7 first year players last night, but several familiar faces were missing. Also, some of the recruits posted previously were not there.

RS: Who is familiar that is missing from F&M squad?

Reserved Seat · October 26, 2012, 11:41:45 AM

Kevin Henry was not there. I'll have to find out what that means.
Brett and Austin transferred.

Found out the Kevin decided not to play.

Does any other CC team have a tougher opening tournament than Ursinus playing in the Lebanon Valley tournament? Bears play Middlebury (#4 D3 Hoops preseason) in the first round and then either Lebanon Valley or Staten Island (both included in "Others Receiving Votes D3Hoops) in the second round.

Should be a good tournament. Clearly the Bears are the underdog and might start 0-2. They would have played Lebanon Valley in the first round, but Staten Island did not want to play Middlebury in the first game.

Hobart, Messiah, Keystone, Dickinson at the Messiah Tip off. While Middlebury is certainly the best team, top to bottom I think the Messiah tournament could be stronger.

Middlebury>Hobart

Messiah>Staten Island
Keystone>LVC
Dickinson>Ursinus

CC,

You're kidding of course!
