I'm not sure but I think if brockport and Fisher win you are going to be hard pressed to move two rochester teams to Ohio...but who knows...we don't know what the hell the NCAA thinks or smokes at certain times...

Do you mean like the time when the NCAA didn't move two Rochester teams (UR, Fisher) and Potsdam outside the state of NY and into Amherst's gym?

You will of course remember that in '04-05, Sweet 16 had undefeated Fisher, eventual runner-up Rochester, and defending SUNYAC champ Potsdam, who had won regular season & tournament, and where did they get sent - Amherst.

With Wooster's 3000+ attendance, NCAA won't care if they send two Rochester teams to Wooster.

Amherst was a pseudo ghost town - students on break, raging snowstorm on Friday night, and they still hosted, despite the fact that both U of R and Potsdam have much nicer & larger gyms.

any one have predictions for fisher/plattsburgh and st lawrence/brockport

[keystonelight]

yes i agree that the ncaa is definiatley smoking something more than half of the time. Driving to amherst was a little rediculous for 3 ny teams. If wooster is still in it i'm sure if there were 15 ny teams we'd be making a trip.

Brockport beat SLU by 30 at Brockport in January.  Brockport has won 16 of it's last 17.

SLU can compete if they keep it close and use their home court advantage.  If they wilt under Brockport's pressure and transition, it could get ugly.  I suspect 'port will take this by 10, assuming the NCAA has assigned a decent set of zebra's to work the game.

Plattsburgh was the only team to beat Brockport recently, 80-75 at 'port in the SUNYAC final.  A. Williams should be a D-III All American, he's a D-I xfer (Morgan State) and is clearly the class of the SUNYAC.  They are well coached, and have athletes that will give Fisher fits.  Williams can take over a half-court game against anybody.
'burgh comes in winning 16 of 18.  Nothing like peaking at the right time.  If Fisher gets behind, they will be in trouble, just like what happened against Potsdam in '05.  'burgh is a tough physical team, and plays hard every pass, every shot both ends.  I think 'burgh will win by 5.

If Plattsburgh & Brockport get in, I suspect the regional would be at Brockport, because Plattsburgh - Wooster is 675 miles, & we know how the NCAA hates to fly Eastern teams.

Final:

Brockport 74
St. Lawrence 49

wow, that's a low-scoring game for Brockport.  They're really good to crush SLU by 25 up there in should-be-Canada.

89-83 Fisher with 1:30 to go.  Anthony Williams has 30 for P'Burgh; SJF is 34-55 from the floor.

Looks like the Cardinals will win this game? Hehehe...

Only had 31 points in 1st half, came back to senses in 2nd with 43.  Brockport certainly has the saints number this year.  The best two teams in this 4 team pod met yesterday I think...

[Caz Bombers]

FINAL SCORE:

St. John Fisher 95, Plattsburgh 87, Williams as noted with 30 for P'Burgh; Dan Mueller leading scorer for SJF with 25 points.  Brockport vs. Fisher in the Sweet 16 should be a classic.

[sjfcards]

Good win for Fisher...Plattsburgh was as advertised...pretty tough and never quit.

I only saw the score of the b-port game...wow...should be a great one in Fisher/Bport 3...

Hope the regional is somewhere close to home.

[pg04]

Well, John Carroll beat Lake Erie 79-77 so the "Top seed" in this bracket has gone down.  I am thinking that Fisher will be the host (??)

Doubt it. It sounds like now you'll have to go to Ohio to play JCU.
