Congradulations Fisher and Utica fans! I would have never thought both teams would represent the Empire 8 in the Sweet "16". Gametime is at 6 pm. Fisher and Utica fans will your schools have buses sent up to Amherst for the game? I called Fishers school last year and they said that Fisher students come first and if there are any left then non Fisher students. I doubt that will happen since I'm a Cortland Student. Any ideas? Thanks.

Okay Utica Fans, what did the NCAA committiee see that allowed your team to get into the Tournament? Just curious. 21-6 come on, they couldn't overlook that, could they?

My mistake, Utica also made the NCAA Tournament! Congrats to all the Utica Fans! I didn't think they were going to get in. Wow!

Well.... Fisher, Cortland, Plattsburgh, Hamilton are in. It'll be interesting to see who the rest of the teams will be. Pat Colemans predictions of the northeastern teams getting in our bracket weren't. What does everyone else think?
Still too early to tell, I think.

Here is the staffs predictions of the East Bracket:
1. St. John Fisher
2. Cortland State
3. Baldwin-Wallace
4. Trinity (Conn.)
5. Hamilton
6. Norwich
7. Plattsburgh State
8. Endicott
I'm shocked they have Cortland #2 and why is Hamilton #5? It's interesting that there are northeastern teams in there as well. Tough Bracket, in my opnion. Who will get to "host" sweet 16? Cortland, IF they advance?

Okay, everyone. Now we have to sit and wait till the seedings come out. I have no clue who will be in Fishers bracket. Any ideas anyone. About Cortland, I wouldn't be shocked if they had to play on the road the 1st round, but I really think they will still "host" the 1st round. Also, I really hope Amherst is not in Fishers bracket this year, if so, then the Sweet "16" will be back at Amherst again.

Fisher is winning 35-25 at halftime against Utica. Fisher is playing well.

Great Game RIT/Fisher, it's interesting when Fisher can't make their shots from the perimeter. I thought Fisher lacks an inside game. It could cost them later in the NCAA Tournament, just like last year. This was the first time I watched Utica play, fast team. Surprised they lost to Fisher twice. I really think tom. E8 Championship will be a very close game. Fisher better improve their shooting or it could be just like tonight.
Cortland, I can't believe it. SUNYIT is a well improved team, but come on! Down 12 at the half and lose. Certainly doesn't look like a number 1 team in the SUNYAC. I'm not impressed by the way they finsihed the year. Will they get in? I'm not so sure. I'm guessing they get in and host a first round game. It will be interesting IF Cortland plays @ Fisher in the second round.

Hey you never know, maybe the Committiee will avoid the contraversy like last year and put Amherst in another region. That may be a good thing.

I'm in the middle about seeing Amherst "host" the Sweet "16" for the second straight year. I think since they hosted it last year, someone new should host it this year. But I'm sure the NCAA staff doesn't think that way.

I'm a Cortland student and the Cortland gym called "Corey Gymnasium" is huge. Cortland could get lucky and host it, IF they advance.

This pretty bold, but I really think Amherst will be in our bracket again.
1. Amherst
2. St. John Fisher
3. Cortland
4. Hamiliton
What does everyone else think?

Hey everyone, I'm a Cortland and St. John Fisher fan! Which one do you think could get the #1 seed in the region when seedings come out on Sunday? Also Fisher fans, will you guys go through what you went through last year if you are the #1 seed again, and playing again on the road during the Sweet "16"? I thought that was complete BULL! I'd like to read everyone's responses. Thanks.
