MBB: Centennial Conference

Reserved Seat · January 25, 2016, 10:55:11 PM

McDaniel played F&M tight for 25 minutes. At that point the score was 37-37, but F&M went a 13-0 run to open up a margin. The bench came up strong with 26 points including 11 from wright and 8 from Hines. Moune lead all scorers with 19 points. Too many rebounds went uncontested by either team. Federici had trouble shaking Brooks and the constant double teaming.
Brandon had one uncontested shot that he hit for a three. Eggers came up strong with 5 steals. Stewart and Brooks were held below their season averages. Stewart played a very physical trying to keep McDaniel in the game. Owana and Hines picked up 4 fouls each trying to stop Stewart.

F&M was able to escape Dickinson with a 64-62 win in a highly contested game. Hinnenkamp and Angradi scored 32 points and Feerici and Moune scored 36 points. F&M's bench came through with 19 points including 7 from Levy. Poor foul shooting almost gave the game to Dickinson, as F&M missed numerous shots down the stretch. On Dickinson's last two possessions Moune came up with 2 key blocks. Several over key blocks appeared to happen the last seconds which didn't show up in the scorebook. I wish someone could explain to what a charge is, and what is the purpose of the arc in the paint. The arc seems to have no effect on a charge call from the way the referees called the game.

Dickinson was also down a starter - Justus Melton is still injured, evidently.

Look out F&M and the rest... the Red Devils nearly took it but for a rushed second to last possession, and without three key forwards. They will all be back. Melton is not injured. He is at home in North Carolina and is the bone marrow donor for his 27 year old sister Emily, a lovely young school teacher who was diagnosed with leukemia in the late fall. The transplant takes place today. In case no one noticed, the Dickinson players and coaches all sported shaved heads last night in support of the announcement at both the women's and men's games. There is a go fund me page for Emily for those who would like to contribute: https://www.gofundme.com/3c98bcz8

Kudos to the Johns Hopkins Men's Basketball team for making a donation to help Emily Melton while she battles Leukemia. Very nice, guys.

Awesome. Glad to know it's not an injury and I certainly hope to hear a positive report from the surgery.

F&M opened with an 18 point first half lead keyed by Owana who scored all of his 13 points in the first half and Federici whose shots hat been a little off most of the season were right on target. Federici made 13 of 15 including 8 of 9 from the arc. Moune contributed a strong double/double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Wright scored 10 off the bench contributing to the 88-64 victory. Garnes played a strong game for the Fords scoring 25 points. F&M controlled the boards 42-24. Tate and Wright had a combined 12 assists.

I just donated $17.02 to https://www.gofundme.com/prayforzero in honor of Will Gates of Swarthmore College. It was the number of points he scored there. Justus Melton sounds like a great young man! God Bless his whole family!

It takes a village. Thanks.

Look out for UC. Have won three in a row and go to an overrated Swat team tonight. Keep them off the FT line and defend the three and they should get the W. Puts them in Great position for the last 6 games of the season to make a playoff push with a young squad.

Reserved Seat · February 02, 2016, 10:54:07 AM

The league is still wide open. No team has an outstanding team. All the teams seem to have obvious weaknesses. Last week John Hopkins beat Swarthmore and lost to Washington. No team can have an off day. F&M has had numerous close games that could have gone either way. Ursinus has as good a chance as anyone to make the play-offs.

"Overrated" is not the word I would use to describe Swarthmore. They only lost by 3 AT F&M, they beat Gettysburg AT Gettysburg by 7 (in fact, they've already completed the season sweep of Gettysburg), and they've won 5 of their last 6, 3 of which were road games, all of which were played without Chris Bourne. And they're 9-3 in the conference. That doesn't exactly scream out overrated.

As for tonight, it should be a night full of good matchups. There's starting to shape into a 3 team race between F&M, Gettysburg, and Swat, as they have separation over the rest of the league.

Swarthmore is not at all overrated. They are doing exactly what many inside and outside the conference expected this year... excelling. Just because Swarthmore in the past has struggled doesn't mean the program is overrated now.

You can learn more about them on Thursday's Hoopsville Marathon Show, by the way. When they will appear during the 10a-10p show is still to be determined.
