F&M men's basketball week 9 game notes

Updated Spectator Policy

With a number of factors contributing to the College's decision to move to a "Very High" COVID-19 alert level, attendance at home athletic contests will be restricted to current faculty, staff, and students who are compliant with vaccination and testing policies. No other spectators will be admitted to the athletic venues. This policy is effective immediately, will remain in effect for the duration of January and is subject to change as conditions evolve.

Noteworthy

Dropping Dimes

John Seidman's 12 assists against Muhlenberg etched his name in the Centennial Conference record-book, as the most in a game by a first-year player in conference history. The dozen helpers ranks tied for third in F&M history, next to Georgio Milligan's 12 against Muhlenberg ten years prior. The school record may never be touched - Bob Manaski's 22 against W&J back in 1979 is nine better than the second spot.

Playoff Hunt

It's that time of year - the Diplomats sit just .5 games out of the fifth and final playoff spot. One way to help their cause? Pick up some wins against teams ahead of them in the standings - exactly what they have in front of them. Four of F&M's next five games are against teams they're currently looking up at in the standings; while the final three are against teams below them.
