Notebook

Dickinson clinched a playoff berth with an 81-76 win at home against Ursinus. The Red Devils (12-2 CC) hold a one-game lead over McDaniel (11-3) and a two-game advantage over Franklin & Marshall and Johns Hopkins (10-4) for first place. Dickinson has never hosted a Centennial playoff game and looks to become just the fourth host for the Conference Final Four since the inception of the format in 2004. The Green Terror can secure its first tournament berth since 2011 with a one win or one Gettysburg loss.

Johns Hopkins swept the season series from Franklin & Marshall with a 67-54 win in Baltimore. It is JHU's first season sweep of the Diplomats since 2006-07 and first time that the Jays have won both games by double digits in series history. Gene Williams (Broomall, Pa.) led the way with 18 points, while Connor McIntyre (Newtown, Pa.) added four blocks and is now third on the Hopkins career list with 119.

The Blue Jays have played the 20th most difficult schedule in Division III, through games of February 6. Hopkins' past opponents have a combined record of 154-107 (.590)

Muhlenberg freshman Jon Schreer (Towaco, N.J.) scored a career-high 18 points in his first collegiate start as the Mules won at Gettysburg.
