To the person from Clarkson who tried to register -- it appears Clarkson.edu is filtering out e-mail to you. Please send me a message from the address you used to register so we can confirm this as a valid address.

[Pat Coleman]

Glad to see the start of the LL season. Hamilton beat Hobart by almost 25 points last night. Giorgi had 20 points. I don't understand why Tobin plays him so much. He's not that big and slows down the whole game. But then again that may be why he plays him. Joe Manns and Jay Simpson are some athletic gaurds with speed. I like how they play.

Thoughts about any other teams? Union beat Skidmore the other night. I'm headed back to see Hamilton play Clarkson and St. Lawrence this weekend. They should be some competitive games.

Ugh.  So much for that big win over #11 Averett.

Coach Izzi's got his work cut out for himself with this squad.

Averett isn't ranked anymore. Losing three starters to injuries meant that Averett was a long way from the team that beat Virginia Wesleyan.

last night vassar knocked off a tough hartwick team at home despite avitable getting one shot the whole game (foul trouble). brazell and butterworth look like their both for real (20 and 15 respectively) and they combined to hold hartwicks stud (20ppg) to 1-15 from the field.

Alucardz,

From what I can gather there are some games that Giorgi can play in and others he cannot. I think the slower paced games he can play and do well but those other games where the tempo is fast paced you won't see much of Giorgi. Those two guards for Hamilton are insane! They are as quick as anyone in the league. It seems that Hamilton is lacking some ability to shoot the ball. Should be an excellent weekend for Hamilton as they will be tested both nights.

I was basing that reference on the following press release issued by Hobart on 1/6/07:

[Pat Coleman]

Yes, and I'm saying they aren't ranked anymore.

FYI for the Liberty Leaguers...

Tomorrow D3hoopsNet will broadcast the showdown between Hamilton and St. Lawrence starting at 3:45 PM (1:45 PM start for the women).

Are the Saints for real and ready to take away Hamilton's status as league favorite?  Or will the Conts defend home court and take one more step toward hanging another banner in Clinton?

Clarkson Beats Hamilton 65-59

[Hoaf]

Clarkson beats Hamilton by 6 after being up by 21 in the first half. Hamilton had a second half surge that saw them come within 4 and they could have easily made it all the way back if they hadn't missed some easy layups down the stretch. Nick Jones played a great game while putting on a great press defense. Jay Simpson and Dave Alston played some good ball down the stretch for Hamilton. TK looked a little lost. It seems as if he doesn't have his head in the game right now. Didn't you guys speculate that he could be sick?

Anyways, great win for clarkson EJ Harris is good player and Youngmann is not bad as well. Hamilton needs to respond with a quick win against St. Lawrence tomorrow.

[met_fan]

Hamilton continues its Jekyll and Hyde act - lose v. Clarkson and beat St. Lawrence.  They just don't seem to have any kind of consistency.

TK SHOULD GET 25 SHOTS PER GAME MINIMUM, ANYTHING LESS IS A BUST
