Noteworthy
Have We Met Before?
F&M and Alfred have never been properly introduced. Good thing F&M has a solid record against teams they've only met once before. The Diplomats are 52-41 all-time against opponents they've only faced a single time.
Well Balanced Efforts
All the usual suspects in the starting lineup are nearly touching double-digits, with the guard-play from Solomon Mathis leading the way with 16.4 per game. John Seidman averages 12.8, Omar Nichols with 10.1, while Mark Suchy and Josh Parra average 9.9 and 9.5 per game, respectively.
The Diplomats haven't had five players in double-figures since the 2016-17 season, where a quintet of players all averaged 10+ per game (though one of the players only played in five games that season).
Diplomats court club
The purpose of the Diplomats Court Club is to serve as an opportunity for alumni, parents, and fans of F&M men's basketball to actively invest in the program. Joining the Diplomats Court Club will allow members exclusive benefits for inside access to the team during the season, while also providing championship level financial assistance to our student-athletes.
