2017 Outlook

Preseason Prediction: 2nd

Franklin & Marshall has finished first or second in the Conference regular season the past eight seasons, winning four Centennial championships during the stretch. The Diplomats have the nucleus to add to those numbers in 2017. Federici, a first-team All-Centennial selection a year ago, is one of the top scorers in the Conference and the region and is within six points of 1,000 in his career. Eggers, an honorable mention All-CC pick, is a dynamic scorer, while Tate runs the offense. The trio combined for 38.1 points per game and drained 145 threes a season ago. Wright provides experience off the bench in the backcourt. Owana is the lone returning big man, while Levy will also see time in the frontcourt. The defending CC champs will be heard from once again come late February.
