Solid defense by F&M and poor shooting by Muhlenberg allowed F&M to cruise to a 72-43.  It took almost 7 minutes at the start of the game for the Mules to score.   Rindock lead the Mules with 9 points.  McClellan came off the bench for the Mules to gather 9 rebounds, along with Rindock who also had 9 rebounds.  Moune lead the Dips with 5 rebounds and 25 points.Federici added 13 points and Eggers 12.  F&M's tenacious defense stole the ball 17 times and caused  26 turnovers.   Terrell Phelps returned from his injury and scored 2 points which were credited to Matt Tate, who was already on the bench with the other starters.

Swarthmore is definitely not overrated, but losing Bourne (best or second best on the team) will hurt. They have had a great year and I am really proud of them. Landry has done a great job.

Hopkins destroyed Gettysburg last night - 20 points was actually not as close as the game was.  They've now swept Swarthmore and split with Gburg, playing F&M again, at Hopkins, on 2/13.  I was already planning to be there for that game, but it might mean something now.  A win over the Dips and they've got a real chance to be above 4th place.  Pretty interesting.

The absence of Bourne is definitely a big one, but Swat has still managed to win 6 of the last 7 now after a 19 point win over Ursinus last night. You could tell at the end of last year that this group was poised to take the next step, and they certainly have.

JHU smoking Gettysburg by 20 is.....wow. Not expected to say the least. Hard to believe this team lost AT HOME to a Washington squad last week that only suited up 9 of their 16 players. But, that might have been the wake up call they needed, as since then, they've gone on the road to beat Swat by 9, and then the 20 point Gburg win last night. Bullets are in a slide now too, having lost 3 of their last 4 games.

Muhlenberg is officially in trouble, now that they've dropped 5 in a row. Shooting 28% and having 26 turnovers last night is a killer against anyone, but especially against F&M.

Big game coming up Saturday with F&M going to Swat

Anyone know why Bourne is not playing?

Swat is for real and they deserve to be where they are in the standings.  Excellent team play, solid defensively and they shoot the ball really well.  As a previous poster noted,  Swat opponents must defend the three and keep them off the free throw line.  They shoot both really well.  When you extend your defense, they like to dribble drive.  Since F&M defends so well, I think they will match up with Swat very well.  Game should be a good one.

Who is the top candidate for POY in the centennial? I haven't been following the league as much as usual this year, but I would imagine it will be someone from F&M, Hopkins, G'Burg, or Swat..?

Moune should be in the running.

Gabriel, the first meeting between F&M and Swarthmore was a good one.

I was thinking Moune off the top of my head.  Hinnenkamp is the most talented player, I think, but he's not been very consistent this year.  His stats are still very good, but I'd go with Moune - I think he's worth about a third of F&Ms wins this year.

Reserved,

Yes it was good game but it was at UC.  Been following UC for 16-17 years and they never play well at Swat for whatever reason.  UC got crushed last night by a very good team playing a tired looking and certainly flat team.  It happens!  First game they had Knowles and Eric Williams, their top two scorers.  Think Swat had Bourne too.  Whatever, Swat is just better than most of the other CC teams right now.

I believe it is his knee. I was told it was his ankle early on, but now was told it was his knee.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

In case I missed it or it hasn't been said: Bourne is out for the season. I do believe it was his knee, but I can't even remember per my conversation with coach today.

I'm as big an NAIA hater as anyone, but it drives me a little nuts we keep saying G-Rob is the third to 900 wins.  There are three guys in NAIA who have over 900 - two are active, one is ahead of Coach K.  I have a lot of problems with how NAIA runs its business, but these guys did earn their wins.  If you're saying he's third in the NCAA in wins, that's fine, but I wish, especially in an official statement to Congress, he'd get his wording correct.  Then again, it is Congress.
