2013 Outlook
Franklin & Marshall is the three-time defending Centennial champion but needs to find a replacement for Georgio Milligan, the school's all-time leading scorer and two-time CC Player of the Year. Gyokchyan, an honorable mention D3hoops.com preseason All-American, Salandra and Early are strong up front. Porter leads the backcourt, along with Beckford and Brewer, while much is expected from Lee. The Diplomats should return to the postseason, but the run depends on season-long improvement in the backcourt.
Mayser Center is the hub of Franklin & Marshall athletics. The building is home to the department’s administrative offices, locker rooms, Sports Medicine and rehabilitation rooms, and the equipment room.
