Just wanted to start off the season by saying that Fisher had a good early win at Carnegie Mellon.  They seemed to have played pretty well.  They seem to be really deep this year.  Moving Franklin to the bench seems to be working for now, but we will see how long that lasts.  I also think that Kornaker could make some better decisions by playing different rotations early in order to figure out who plays best with eachother.  The fact is that Fisher is going to be a powerhouse this year in the empire 8 because they have superior talent.  If coaching does not get in the way they could be very successful.

WOW cant believe that fisher-UC game.  One that will go down in the record books most likely, as this is the first time that fisher has not made the e8 tourney. These guys cannot hit a free throw.  Also fisher needs to focus on making better decisions in the clutch.  This can be attributed to bad preparation by the coaching staff.  Obviously fisher does not practice situational basketball at all.  I cant believe they blew this game.  Utica did play well down the stretch with good shooting and good decisions.  This shows how much Connelly has progressed in his coaching.  I am very excited to see Utica in the next 2 years.

A huge game tonight between RIT and Fisher.  This game could make or break Fisher since they have to go to Ithaca this Saturday.  What I dont understand is how RIT is getting no respect nationally.  I dont know if you can call a team underrated when they are undefeated in their conference, but it seems like RIT is.  They really dont have any great players besides Carson, but they keep on winning.  As for Fisher they are realing right now and need to hold court tonight.  If they loose another home game they could be on the outside looking in for the e8 tourney.  I would love to see what their 10 coaches do then.  Maybe they will start playing.  I know some of them still have their eligibility.  Cant wait to see the outcome.

Ok gobombers you have a point.  Maybe I was alittle to brash.  But I have to disagree with Cylone and comparing Franklin to Farid.  Farid did so much more than score.  He was a guard/forward who had above average rebounding, passing, and blocking skills also.  Franklin is primarily a scorer and his defense is still a huge question.  So I guess we will just have to see how things pan in next couple of seasons.

gobombers15, you are ridiculous to think that Ozell Franklin will be a future e8 player of the year.  The only way that would happen is due to the fact that the e8 is losing so many good players this year.  Franklin either goes 10-10 or 0-30 in games.  Either way he keeps shooting.  I would say next year it will be McAdam.  the year after that will be wide open.  But I would say that Brandon Witte or even Jordan Gettings will be an all league player for fisher.  Looking at other teams the league will really be down.  The Major kid for Naz will be really good by then to.  So lets not go jumping to conclusions just yet.  You know RIT and Stevens recruit around the country so they could bring in someone really talented also.
