WBB: Centennial Conference

[bballisking]

Not much activity on this board!  Disappointing but I will ask anyway...Who is the preseason favorite?  Asking before the preseason rankings come out tomorrow...

Also:  How have teams faired in their scrimmages?  Why does the Centennial Conference only allow its teams one scrimmage when everyone else gets two?

F&M played well against Alvernia.

Tough loss for F&M, after being down by 10 or more most of the game.  The ladies put up a tremendous rush to even the score at the end of regulation, only to lose by one in overtime.  Liz Snyder put together a career high of 32.  Emma Lisle also had a career night.

Another tough loss for F&M as they gave LVC(#13) all they could handle before losing in double overtime.

Another tough game for F&M, their 5th overtime loss.  Does anyone know what the record is for overtime losses?

Here are the official playoff scenarios for the final day of the regular season:

The top seed comes down to Gettysburg and Swarthmore. A win by one, combined with a loss by the other, simplifies the process. Wins or losses by both brings tie-breaking criteria into play. The two teams split their season series, so a tie for first place would be decided by how the pair did against the third-place team.

A Muhlenberg win gives the Mules the #3 seed and would give the Garnet the tie-breaker advantage over the Bullets. Swarthmore was 2-0 against 'Berg, while Gettysburg was 1-1.

A Muhlenberg loss puts Johns Hopkins at #3 and gives the Jays the first-round bye. In this scenario, Gettysburg is the top seed due to a 1-1 record vs. Hop, while Swarthmore was 0-2.

Haverford is locked in at the No. 5 spot and will be on the road to play either at Johns Hopkins or Muhlenberg on Feb. 20.

Neither Gettysburg nor Swarthmore has ever hosted the Centennial final four since the Conference adopted the format in 2004. The Garnet did host a CC final in 2001 and a first-round game in 2005 - the last time Swarthmore qualified for the tournament. The Bullets return to the field for the first time since 2011 and could host for the first time since a 2008 first-round contest.

This schedule isn't complete. Dickinson has only 14 games, Gettysburg has 14, Swarthmore has 15 ... I sent an email to the conference office last week asking when the rest of the schedule would be loaded into Presto because it affects how much setup Gordon, Dave and I have to do for the 2013-14 season and have not heard back yet.

Looks complete now

Per twitter: Bryn Mawr not competing in Centennial Conference this season: https://twitter.com/d3hoopsville/status/397820297933381632 & https://twitter.com/d3hoopsville/status/397820692718026753

Really makes you wonder what's happening - kind of tricky for the other league schools to fill out their schedules at this point.  Must be something substantial.   I feel badly for their team.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I am hearing something to the effect of "best for the student-athletes" ... but I don't know what that really means. I also heard they have ten players, but that is just the grumblings I am hearing around. I do know many are calling this a mess, but that is from outside points of view from those affected.

Very nice to see that Widener 2010 grad, Becky Tyler has been named interim Coach at Bryn Mawr!  Good luck, Coach Tyler!

Aren't the last few posts contradictory. No team, interim coach?
