Cadillac

Fisher 98 - 71 final.

magicman

Looks like I got my wish. The Cardinals of Plattsburgh State against the Cardinals of St. John Fisher. Unfortunately for Plattsburgh, Fisher not only gets home court advantage but their starting five got to rest up for most of the 2nd half while State had to work their tails off coming back from a 17 pt 2nd half deficit. I still like the SUNYAC champs chances though.

Speaking of the SUNYAC

Plattsburgh St. 61-60 over UofR

Brockport St. 74-66 over NESCAC champion Williams

Oswego St. 74-63 over RIT in the ECAC's

SUNYIT 96-84 over Clarkson in the ECAC's

Not bad for a "weak" conference.

Magic- Nothing against the SUNYAC but the only win there that is an upset is the 30 ft buzzer beater by Williams that gave Platts the win over UR.  The rest were to be suspected since they were all on home courts against teams that should be and were beaten.

Brockport played up at St. Lawrence, not at home. I didn't know where the ECAC's were played. Just glad to see the SUNYAC teams win. But I understand your point.

Magic- If Oswego smacks down Vassar at Vassar come back on here and rub my nose in it.  It could well happen, should be a good game.                   PS I think B-port @ SLU will be another opportunity at league bragging rights!! (and I don't know the outcome there either) on a neutral site I'd go with b-port- up there I'm not as sure.

You're the only dood on the board that doesn't know & accept that '57 can't spell.

Poor grammar and horrible spelling... it's just how he rolls.

Just back from the games at Fisher. A great night of basketball.

Fisher was just way way way too much for Wentworth. My question is how did Wentworth get to 17 wins...they would struggle to make the E8 tournament. They looked bad against a tough defense...they looked like they had never seen a defense before. Good win for Fisher taking care of business.

Plattsburgh...congratulations on a great win. Unreal..most teams would have quit down 18 half way through the 2nd half, the crowd was very pro U of R. U of R just played their way out of a win. They made bad decisions, bad shots, and missed free throws down the stretch. U of R was clearly the better team, but Plattsburgh impressed me with how poised they were.

Should be a great game tomorrow. Plattsburgh has a good record, and is better than I thought they were. I think Fisher has a good chance tomorrow, and if they shoot the way they did tonight Plattsburgh does not have much of a chance. Now having said that I do not see Fisher getting nearly as many open looks against a good Plattsburgh team.

I will take Fisher by 8 tomorrow...
GO FISHER!!!

Also...

This bracket kind of looks like a tourny for the best team in NY...Fisher, Plattsburgh, St Lawrence, Brockport...and U of R who lost to a NY team tonight...

I think it might be nice to see who earns the title "best team in NY" on the court..
GO FISHER!!!

I don't understand all the disrespect...Isn't there something to be said of coming back from 17 down with 10 minutes left for Plattsburgh? 

And Brockport's win over Williams 6 hours away from home in Canton at SLU against a team that won a National Powerhouse Conference was not necessarily suspected either. 

Fisher better not get too confident because they seem to have some sort of thought of invincibility at home because Plattsburgh can beat them. 

That being said I think we see a Brockport-Fisher Sweet 16 matchup.

Great win for Plattsburgh, fighting back from 19 down was impressive.  I knew the game was going to be close.

Fisher is playing its best basketball by far at the perfect time, I have never seen a team shoot the ball as well as they did tonight, i think they were like 9-10 from 3 the first few minutes of the game.  When chris baltz 26 pts in less then 20 minutes, and mueller are shooting like that, they are a legit contender to get out of this region.  I'm sorry but if they are hosting the only team that can beat them if they are shooting this well is Wooster.  I am still in awe on how well they played, it was un real.  Don't get me wrong Wentworth was not very good, Fishers second squad would have won, but shooting is shooting, they were on fire. 

fisher by 7-10 over Plattsburgh.

Bport 5-10 over st. lawrence

I 100% agree...they did get a lot of wide open looks and easy layups because Wentworth did not know how to cover them, but they also hit some contested jumpers. Mueller can hit from 10 feet behind the arc, and Baltz was lights out from all over the floor.
Fisher is definatley starting to play their best basketball this season. With Baltz and Mueller shooting threes and the inside game of McSweeny and Beigle they are tough to beat. Can they go to the Final 4? well if they host the regional they have a chance (because Wooster will probably be out at that point). Without Wooster in the bracket I do not see a team they can't beat. Should be fun.
GO FISHER!!!
