The box score shows that Slyka did not play at all for F&M against Neuman on Thursday night. Does anyone know why? Injury? Other? Thanks.

Fellow CC Fans -

Greetings! As we approach the new year, we welcome back D III men's basketball after an almost three-week hiatus for exams and the holidays. Hope everyone had a good Christmas holiday. Best wishes to all for 2019.

During the early games this year, freshman guard Watida Mukukula played significant minutes off of the bench for the Diplomats and scored some points. I have not seen his name in the box scores for the games just prior to the holiday. Does anyone know why he "disappeared"? Is he still on the F&M roster? Did he leave the program or is he injured?

Bring on the games again!

Bring on the season. The fun begins in about two months!

Fellow Centennial Fans -

Congrats again to Hopkins, Swarthmore, and F&M for representing the Centennial Conference well and for advancing to the Round of 32! Amy thoughts on tonight's match-ups? Good luck to all three.

Go Diplomats!

Congrats to the THREE Centennial Conference teams that made the 64-team NCAA Division III Tournament - Johns Hopkins, Swarthmore, and Franklin And Marshall. That certainly must be a first! Good luck to all three (especially the Diplomats) - represent the Conference well.

Regards to all.

Fellow Diplomat Fans -

The box scores for the most recent games show that Slyka did not play. Does anyone know of his status - injury, illness, etc?

Guys -

In all of this discussion, I am surprised that there was non mention of Chris Finch from the great Diplomat teams of the early 90's?!? Just food for thought and discussion. But, then again, maybe I am just showing my advanced age. Regards to all.

Just a quick report and observation from a Centennial Conference Fan and long-time Franklin And Marshall Diplomat Stalwart Supporter. I watched the rebroadcast of Monday's Wisconsin-Platteville/Wisconsin game on Tuesday afternoon on the Big Ten Network carried on the Lebanon Area Comcast Cable TV network. Not a bad showing by the Pioneers as they hung with the Badgers throughout the first half. The Badgers' size took a toll on the Pioneers. In my opinion, that was the biggest difference between the teams and was the deciding factor in the game which the Badgers won by about thirty points. Just thought it was interesting that Division III Basketball appears to be making some inroads on TV coverage!

Feel free to share this with others and to post on other conference boards. It is November 1st, so the games can't be too far behind! Regards to all.

This is not exactly Centennial news. But, I watched the rebroadcast of yesterday's Wisconsin-Platteville/Wisconsin game on the Big Ten Network on Lebanon Area Comcast.

In my opinion, that was the biggest difference between the teams and was the deciding factor in the game which the Badgers won by about thirty points.
