Vassar leads SLU 33-31 at half.  Pretty sloppy game and frankly I have not been too impressed by either team.  Check out the game at:

They have the future conference MVP in Avitabile up front, what else do they need?

Vassar is returning there top 4 scorers.

Avitabile first team all region, TK second team. 

The vassar website says... Following Vassar is the ECAC Upstate Tournament is No. 2 seed Oswego followed by SUNY IT, Ithaca College, RPI, Clarkson, Rochester Institute of Technology and Hilbert.

And I agree with everyone in terms of the attitude of Liberty League officials.  We should be encouraging fans to support their teams not muting them.  Numerous fans have been removed from games this year and it is too bad.  Compared to many colleges LL fans are very tame.

Crazy weekend in the liberty league.  Rather dissapointed in Vassar, they had an opprotunity to beat St. Lawrence but were unable to close as has been there MO all year.  Had a lead in the final minutes but couldnt come up big when needed.  Brazell and Avitabile were impressive again but nobody else really showed up.  Props to St. Lawrence though, they are not an impressive team but they pull out victories.  On another note, Vassar got the #1 seed in the ECAC tournament with RPI and Clarkson also getting in.  Lastly, I was impressed with Hamilton fans, they had a lot of numbers and were very loud and supportive.  They are lucky to have an administration and refs that lets them be so vocal, that would not have been tolerated at many other schools in the conference even though it should be. 

you need a 3.2 or 3.25.

You guys are crazy.  If you go the the Liberty League webpage and look at conference only stats (its the only fair way to access who had a better season since they played the same conference scedule but different non-conference schedules) you will see the Avitabile leads TK in EVERY statistical catagory accept free throw percentage.  This in mind, I do not know how Avitabile does not deserve the POY award.

A few things: b4the3isme you are gonna wish that you jumped on the Vassar bandwagon.  Hamilton was lucky to escape Poughkeepsie with a win.  The brewers lead the entire game and only lost because several calls did not go their way including a three point shot the hamilton made with under 3 minutes in the game even though it clearly hit off the 24 second clock.  Secondly, what a wuss that Hamilton coach is.  It is widely known that going to Hamilton is a difficult place to play but you do not see coaches complaining about the fans.  However, when Hamilton enters a raucous gym, the coach complains the entire game about the support the vassar fans where showing their team.  Third, TK is no joke... without him Hamilton would be nothing.  Fourth, with two more wins this weekend Vassar will prove that they are the class of the league dispite all you doubters.  Lastly, Mike Dutton as coach of the year?  I do not think so, he is just blessed with exceptional talent but in terms of x's and o's he is nothing special.

Mean while Vassar sweeps this weekend at Clarkson and St. Lawrence.  Any believers yet?

Thus far my prediction was right, got a win tonight at St. Lawrence... I am telling you don't sleep on the Brewers.

I agree... If St. Lawrence and Clarkson aren't careful, Vassar could come out with two wins this weekend away from home.

Any predictions for tonights game?

I got St. Lawrence over Clarkson and Vassar over RPI in a nail bitter.

With the opening of liberty league action only a few weeks away, any predictions for the first weekend of games?

had a chance to see vassar play new paltz about a week ago, and avitable can do it all - 20pts, 12rbs, 5a, 4blk, 3stls. they also got the kid brazell - had 21 in the second half. if they can get solid play out of their point guards, there gonna sneak up on alot of people.
