This just in Fisher beats Alfred by 13454566!  They played the game early during free period.

Uche didnt need to shoot, and also was defended pretty well by Fisher.  Fisher hung tight until about the seven minute mark in the first half.  Fisher is a team that doesnt really show much heart or emotion.  They are just missing thatg one high energy emotional player.  Ozell plays very hard and with some emotion.  At one point in the game after Dominiak hit a couple 3's in a row then Ozell came down and hit one and screamed "let me guard him" speaking of Dominiak, who just killed Neumann.  On the offensive end Neumann was no threat putting up a goose egg.  Fisher should start Franklin.  WPI comes to town after break another tough team for them.

Very interesting to see what Elmira has done in the last two games.  Makes you take a somewhat serious look at them.  I think that we are in for some suprises this year in conference play.  Anyone can win on Friday night and then come back and get beat Saturday to whoever it is they are playing.  I still see the E8 top four as Stevens, Naz, Ithaca and either Fisher or Utica.  Tough few games ahead for Fisher as well.  With U of R and WPI......

Thanks for the info cyclone....A couple questions to ask ya.  What were the matchups?  Who started on who defensively for both teams?  I see that a few fisher guys that see usual minutes only get 11 or fewer.  I am wondering if this is Kornaker sittin most of his older guys and getting his younger guys more experience.  Overall after seeing the score early on I was shocked seeing Fisher down 51-28.  I would have loved to see last years teams battle it out.  With McSweeney and Mueller in the lineup for Fisher and the Williams kid healthy last year.  Both teams last year went to the Sweet 16 so would be an interesting outcome from last years teams....

Fisher gets dismantled by Stevens 80-65 the score doesnt indicate how much of a blowout the game was.  Stevens will win this conference. Fisher continues to search for answeers and is now 1-3.  Ozell looks like he should get 25+ minutes a game, and start...

Fisher down BIG at Stevens....49-28 OUCH!!

Fisher pulls out a big conference opener beatin RIT 84-80....Big game from Beigal with 17 and 16 and Baltz gets 19.  Kenny Gethers did all he could in defeat finishing with 29 and 12.

Looks like a back and forth game in the first half at Fisher with the home team leadin 42-38 at the half.  Scoot Young lights up Fisher for 16 in the first half, he must be really improved because last year he did absolutely nothing and just sat at the three point line and shot 3s.  Fisher has a balanced scoring attack with 3 or 4 guys at 7 or more.  The second half should be an interesting one. Well see.

How are they confusing? The teams on the right are either plus or minus.  And yes Utica is favored by 5 in my opinion at Ithaca....

Any pre-game predictions for the opening night of empire 8 conference play?

Heres what I got...

RIT at Fisher -2
Utica at Ithaca -5
Alfred at Stevens +20
Hartwick at Elmira  -13

hmmmm....interesting.  Everytime you have something to say it is about either Fisher or your boy Isiaih.  So I see your last statement as false.  But oh well. Lets get to a new topic.  Fisher has a tough weekend ahead of them.  They could come out of this weekend 0-4 (0-2) if they dont come to play.  This RIT team seens to be much improved and playing some good basketball and Stevens is a very, very good team.  So we will see by the end of the weekend.

Cadillac....you seem very close to Isaiah......are you a relative?

Matt Haley doesnt deserve to play.  He is soft inside and does not like to bang inside with the bigs.  He may be a little athletic but all he wants to do is shoot jumpers and not go inside.  He brings nothing to the table, therefore he doesnt see the floor.

Could we see Fisher start off 0-3 possibly 0-4 after this weekend?  They have two very tough games this weekend against RIT and Stevens.  This Fisher team needs someone to step in and give them a boost.  Who is it going to be?  The losses of senior all conference players McSweeney and Mueller are really hurting Fisher with no one besides baltz and Biegal doin anything at all........
