Only 150 people in attendance for SUNYAC championship at the HOST team's gym is wild

Quote from: UfanBill on February 21, 2025, 09:41:07 PMRIT shot an incredible 19/38 from behind the arc, with nine different guys hitting a three , 37/70, 52.9 % overall and lost the game 100-98 to Union. How? the Garnet Chargers lit it up at an even better rate shooting 36/63, 57.1 % and 10/22 from 3. Again Union won the game with their nation leading free throw shooting 16/18 to RIT's 5/7. There were 12 ties and 24 lead changes in this back and forth contest. It was the two free throw misses after making their first 16 in a row at the end that once again gave Union's opposition a chance to win or tie but a Tiger jumper at the buzzer clanked off the rim. Union improves to 10-7 in the Liberty League to sew up a playoff spot. 

RIT defense has been beyond awful......very disappointing season for a team that finished 3rd in the conference last year and returned 8 of their 9 top guys

Bard beats New Paltz 

Bard defends alot better this year, kudos to the new coach. Previous years they ran a press that led to a ton of open layups. Liberty League should be VERY interesting this year. No cupcakes.....

Returning players who I think will take a leap/more prominent role this year and be among the better players in the league:

Gavin Schauder- Ithaca
Dylan Matchett- RPI
Kenny Wilburn- RIT
Finn Cork- Clarkson

Watched Vassar vs Yale exhibition match. A pretty much expected blowout by Yale (Vassar lost a ton from last year), but I left impressed with Vassar's two freshman guards from California, Fitzgerald and Lee. Both kids can should have an impact this year.

Naz by one to win conference tourney........wow!!!!

Refs didn't decide ithaca game. 2 things:

1. Naz got timely offensive boards throughout the game
2. The Ithaca coach went away from the box in one/ zone. Mcadam had 6 points n first half and Naz was out of sync against the Ithaca defense. Second half, Ithaca plays primarily man and Mcadam goes off, ending up with 27. They should've made the role players beat them Scaffidi and Stephens a combined 8-28.

On another note, Naz' freshman Waldbillig played HUGE.....good for him as his minutes have been spotty this year.

As for All league predictions, Anthony Terry(RIT) should definitely be on the squad. Probably the most explosive guard in the league

Magicman, sorry I took so long to respond to your analysis on the Tigers. Great Job by the way. You covered it all. I don't get up there enough to get a handle, try to get to Stevens as much as I can to see the E-8..Korinichak being out hurts.... I get the impression we are a little aimless out there. You guys know I believe you need a floor general, someone to hold it together... I don't think we have that. Carson did that for us, even though it usually comes from the guard spot. Lowe and Anderson 1-10 and only 2 foul shots, means no penetration....... Young with 37 scares me, I like the scoring to be spread out.. 9x13 from  3's.......This team doesn't have a personality yet, and again I am scared.... I want a solid day in day out point, and I would like at least 3 in double figures scoring consistantly... doesn't have to be the same 3, actually better if it isn't.....Again probably too early to make judgements, but I am truly worried about this team. Very possible we don't finish in top 4........
 
Don't worry, Tigers will be a second semester squad. They don't have an identity yet with carson having graduated. They are also running some new things offensively. Terry will be a beast and Harder gets better by the game. Korinchak returning will give them a boost in the leadership and energy categories. The Tigers could've easily won both games

People gotta give RIT some credit.....a night after torching Ithaca for 29 pts and 8 assists....RIT holds Corey McAdam to 15 points on 5-15 shooting with 6 turnovers....The Tigers ARE a solid team, much more than they've been given credit for
