F&M looked good in an intra-squad scrimmage last night. Defense was especially strong.  New players are quick and athletic.  A few significant injuries--Joe Krong and Xavier Braham ACLs.
F&M scrimmages Messiah next weekend. Should be a good test for both teams.

CC,

You're kidding of course!

No, I am not. Yes Middlebury is the best of the 8 teams but LVC is not on par with Keystone and Ursinus not better than Dickinson. Staten Island not better than Messiah.

Just IMO-

1-8

MBury
Hobart
Messiah
Staten Island
Keystone- could be switched with Dickinson
Dickinson
Ursinus
LVC

CC,

Both should be good tournaments.  I think you are over rating Keystone (their 2 best players graduated) and under rating Staten Island.  I saw them the last two years, they are a veteran team and are good.  The rest of your ratings look about right.  I would say (1-8):

Middlebury
Hobart
Staten Island
Messiah
Dickinson
Ursinus
Keystone
LVC

Just talked to the coaches less than 5 minutes ago, and they still said 2:30. I'm trying to attend, but 2:30 cuts it close so I've been checking on a regular basis to get the correct time.

Hey RS,

I have seen some conflicting posts.  Can you confirm the location of the scrimmage game?  Is it at F & M or Messiah?

Thanks!

According to the 2 assistant coaches, the scrimmage is scheduled for 2:30 at Messiah.

Arrived at the Messiah scrimmage a little late.  By the time I arrived the Dips were already down by over 10 points.  According to a Messiah fan, F&M was sloppy with the ball and Messiah was nailing threes.  The first half(15 minutes) continued about the same with Messiah ending the half with about a 20 point lead.  F&M fought back in the second half(20 minutes) to cut the lead to 4 points with a minute to go.  Forced into foul mode, F&M watched Messiah's lead expand as they hit all their foul shots to win by about 10.  F&M will have to get improved play from the one spot.

I arrived late as well, and saw the starters play only about 10 minutes of the second period.  When Hayk got the ball down low, he was triple teamed and still made the shot.  Hayk had a great game today! 

I was mildly concerned that Ed Early had an ice pack on his hand to close the day.

Morgan Lee was not listed on the roster a few days ago, maybe an oversight.  I was glad to see he had actually returned and played well.

Ed Early appeared to aggravate a previous injury.  He hadn't played in the Blue/White scrimmage.
Hopefully, he heals quick, because he had been playing very aggressively earlier in the game.

Messiah simply outplayed F&M. Beat them up and down the court, out rebounded them.... F&M has no PG and struggle to handle the ball- surprised Messiah did not press.

Messiah went up 20 at half and won by 9 with out their best player Fernandez playing (he looked fine just didn't play) and 2 big guys also like 6-6 each not suited up.

F&M needs to find a PG ASAP.

The Messiah fans sitting near me said Fernandez tore is ACL.
Messiah definitely out-hustled F&M.  F&M never seemed to go aggressively after a loose ball.
