Empire 8

[John McGraw]

Are you kidding me?  We kicked ass tonight.  We got off to a slow start and once we adjusted to their pressure we dominated.  We had foul trouble tonight and it still didn't matter.  Coaching really made a difference in this game.  We made adjustments and they didn't.  Nice to lok down there and not see Tom Murphy working the sideline.  We may have lost if he was there.

Clearconceit,

We? Do you play for Utica? Last time I checked, it was the players that did the work on the court.

From a Liberty League follower - congrats to Utica on win over Hamilton. Utica is one of the most improved teams in the league and a perfect example of how a team matures (and improves) as the underclassmen gain experience - players like Cichon and Lucas deserve their accolades.

Clear, are you a player? I'd be careful about lying because El Guru could come in here and say your connection is from a Utica College campus address.

There are a lot of people on campus for winter session, so that really wouldnt matter.

I'm pretty sure Clear does not play for Utica.

clearconceit you got beat by a team that has a player that couldn't guard a dead man and a team with a player that gets to much publicity, that is'nt saying much about your team. I can't wait to see what happens when they play your team on their home court. I think your comments are very funny. I really miss joshreed.

utica beating hamilton w/o three of its top players in tk, giorgi, and ray is like mohawk valley community college beating duke in a game without jj reddick, shelden williams, lee melchionni, and josh mcroberts. its like yeh you won, but over who?

Actually, it's not like that at all, considering Duke basketball consistently has blue chip recruits that come off the bench and would crush any D3 team, let alone Mohawk Valley CC 100 out of 100 times.

Who gets too much publicity?

How come you weren't crying when Hamilton won while scoring 94 points without those same players just last week?

[tigerfan2]

Why are these 3 guys out of the lineup anyway?


Bamm, I think Bennett is the one being referred to as getting "too much publicity"

[the bird man]

Seriously what is up with the Hamilton players that are not in the lineup, what is this big rumor.

I have to agree with Madhawk, I think many people right now are under estimating Hartwick.  Once again I will say I am not a huge Hartwick fan, but this year they truly have some talent.  They have a great freshman in Cocozziello who is 6th on the conferences scoring list, they have the second best rebounder in the league with Brown and from watching them play they have a lot of heart.  Maybe there's not a good possibility they will beat Utica on Friday, but I think there's a good possibility they can make a run for the conference tournament if they can close out some games and play more consistent, they're all over the place right now.

Fisher takes care of business in the first round of the Chase tourny, beating Geneseo by 15. Close game at the half (31-30), a lot like the last game, but Fisher goes on a 10-0 run mid-way through the half, and ends up running away with it.
Tough game friday, no matter who the Card's play, but I really want a Fisher UofR final.

GO CARDS

[clearconceit]

Are you kidding me?  My response about Fisher's McGee being a dead man and bennett being overrated was in response to someone's ill advised comments about the Cocoziello kid from Hartwick.  The fact (according to people I know that saw the film) is he was going off on them and Kornaker tried everybody on him.  Yes, while I don't play and don't go there I do know the facts because I talk to guys who do play!

Mad Hawk - I will run anked throught the streets of Utica is we lose to you guys.  I don't care how improved you are you cannot hang with us.

In fact I am getting alittle annoyed with all of this Itaca banter too.  I can't wait to kick your *&&*&*** too! 

We will be there in the end boys.  And yes as  fan I can say we!

Peace

Take it easy Clear. Utica has a good team, with what Ithaca is doing and as good as Fisher is I think there are a lot of other storys to talk about.

Utica is a very good team but not as good as Fisher and, who knows, Ithaca may have a team that could sneak into the top 2 of the league. I still think Utica will finish 2nd, but come on. A few wins against some ok teams does not make you a powerhouse.

The Chase game of the night is RIT/Brockport, with the Port winning in OT by 8.
