MBB: Centennial Conference

1/27 picks:

F&M
McDaniel
Gettysburg
Muhlenberg
Ursinus

[Reserved Seat]

A win is a win, and F&M picked up a lucky one in Baltimore tonight.  In a game where JH played zone for the whole game, F&M picked out the victory with a key rebound by Mike Baker with 16 seconds left.  Milligan missed his second foul after giving F&M a 2 point lead with 16 seconds.  Baker grabbed the rebound after which he was fouled.  Mike hit both giving F&M a 4 point lead with 13 seconds left.  Hopkins lead for most of the game including a lead of 19-8 after about 16 minutes, as F&M couldn't buy a shot.  F&M only shot 4 foul shots until the last 80 seconds when they shot six.  F&M was 8 for 10 from the line; JH 11-18.  Both teams shot 3 for 10 from the arc, with 2 of F&M's coming in the final 5 minutes of the first half to close the score to 23-18 at the half.  Both teams pretty much matched their assists with turnovers
F&M 15/15
JH 12/11
Freshman Rhoads led JH with 15 points and did a good job of bringing the ball up court.
McNally(14), Brooks(13), and Tolliver(12) led F&M's scoring.
McNally and Baker both had 8 rebounds.

A ragged performance by the Ursinus last night but a win is a win.  Jon Ward led the Bears with 22 points with Cousart, Hilton and Page also in double figures.  Cousart had 12 rebounds and does what he has to. He is a totally team oriented selfless player and a pleasure to watch.  Ursinus' problem---21 turnovers and they gave up 19 offensive rebounds.  Lots of room for improvement!

Washington is a very good team----scrappy and they play with a lot of heart.  They are well coached---play very hard and move the ball well.   Their problem last night was that they shot very poorly.

Gabriel,
Thanks for the info.  I still look at Ursinus to be the team to give F&M the most trouble in the play-offs.  Obviously, from F&M's recent play other teams will also be a challenge, but  Ursinus has play-makers, height, and good coaching that will force F&M to play their A game.

Enjoy the games. Good Luck! Regards to all.
