MBB: Centennial Conference

[D.B. Cooper]

F&M did not look like the same team as lost to GBurg on the road in a game with a peculiar referee style.
Who would've given Dips a chance if told Nowoswiat would only score 6 pts.
I suppose the coronation of Hop may have to wait & maybe Dips arent as bad as thought by many experts.
Every week will reveal exciting revelations that aren't easy to predict. I cannot wait to watch.

Looks like Gettysburg's 33 lived up to his rep today.  He had 5 fouls in 8 minutes of play against Ursinus.

So if I'm reading this correct, Swarthmore and JHU play each other twice, but only once in conference?

Same with F&M and Haverford

Yes, the CC went to an unbalanced scheduled that basically amounts to divisions, but they don't have divisions, so some teams schedule a home and home with rivals they no longer play twice.

Does anybody wonder if it is time for Dickinson to move on from Coach Seretti? I am a heavy follower of Centennial Conference basketball and while I know he has had great success in the past, and he is a gentleman and a respected coach with a great knowledge of the game, he has not had a winning season since 17-18 and his teams just consistently underperform year after year. Many, many talented players at Dickinson over the past 7 to 8 seasons, and I can really only think of maybe five who actually developed under Coach Seretti during that time. A lot of inconsistency with lineups, playing time, focus, preparation and intensity levels of his teams ... which to me is typically a reflection of the coach. I know Dickinson has made very big strides in the overall performance of their athletic department in recent years, and honestly the one team that does not seem to be moving forward is men's basketball. Dickinson is an outstanding school, great facilities, great location, plays in a very strong conference, and has an amazing basketball alumni group (which includes a basketball specific endowment for both the men's and women's programs). A lot to like here, and a lot to attract high quality student athletes. I would like to see things turn around for the Red Devils and Coach Seretti (who is also an Assistant AD), but maybe a change at the top of the men's basketball program is something to be considered.

Big, important clash in Collegeville tonight. URSINUS vs SWAT.
SWAT seems to be a very deep team. But Bears have good talent & most important are in their home cave where they likely will play a determined physical game & may well take a key game to stay at the top of CC in the 1st place logjam. In the early league play, the softer schedule more wins in non conference squads are not getting it done. I say kudos to GBurg & Dickinson for playing strong teams by seasons end they may stand well in playoffs.
