Baltz is lighting it up in the 2nd half puts fisher up 2 with 8 to play, this one is over.

Unless of course, Coach Murphy has something up his sleeve.

Embarrassing to hear the Murph on the radio....sounds like Pep coaching the 10-12-year-olds in the Biddy League.

Indeed, it's over.

Alfred doesn't have a lot of offensive weapons but plays tough at the defensive end, led by Ryan Clemenson. Pep made a run from the library to McLane for the final two minutes. While there, Clem had a strip of a Cardinal going in for a layup....Stein had a good post move for the winning basket, then Fisher's final shot banged around then popped out. Good game played with great intensity by both teams, from what Pep saw. The two teams meet again at Fisher in a couple weeks....Pep doesn't expect the Saxons will repeat tonight's feat, but they'll play tough just the same.

Lolly gaggin in the first half has finally gotten the best of Fisher...As a fan I can not remember the last time Fisher lost to Alfred but my memory only dates back a couple years ago...Hopefully this is a wake up call for them...because if not, then Alfred will not be the last loss of conference play and I do not feel comfortable having Fisher play at Utica for the E8 championship...Could Fisher really relinquish the regular season and post season crown? A lot of questions are now in the air...

well if they play the way they have the last two games they may relinquish a hold on second place as well.

Another bad performance for Fisher. AU played hard and deserved to win. Utica now has a firm grip on the inside track for the regular season crown. I hope Fisher can use this a bit of a spring board/wake up call to finish strong. Otherwise ECAC's here we come. Can't remember the last time I said that.

ECACs along with Hartwick?....(see last post-up post)

Perhaps Utica will slip along the way...you just never know.

RIT extends its ownership of Nazareth, winning 86-79.

Zeinfeld has 22, Bacon 19, and Gethers 18. RIT reverses early season trend and shoots incredibly well from the line.

Holy freakin crap. Way to go Saxons!!
