When's the next E8TV game?

MP,

All the IC home games are free on ICTV.

Tomorrow's game is available through Embry Riddle's PPV but it ain't worth the $7.  It was basically just a camera at the top of the bleacher panning from half to half.  There was also some guy playing with his infant right next to the microphone.

Ithaca wins 101-91. Sean Burton leads the way with 33 on 7-9 from deep. Good win for the Bombers and nice to see how good they are when everyone is healthy and playing. Burton had the 33 with the mask on to protect his nose, maybe the new Rip Hamilton.

Maybe the highest scoring game I've ever attended on any college level.  I gotta agree with the thoughts on Burton, what a player.  Colby made some nice halftime adjustments to turn what could have been a 30+ point laugher into a really tight game down the stretch.  In the first half Colby gave up about a thousand easy baskets and in the second half Ithaca kinda did the same.

Stopping ball in transition and not picking up silly touch and over the back fouls are the biggest things I think this Ithaca team has to work on.  #11 Mac Simpson and #32 Adam Choice did work for the White Mules.  As always one can't help but think Bostic should dominate on this level with his athleticism but sometimes he gets outworked; and you can't do a whole lot from the bench with 4 fouls.  Leahy and Scanlon in particular played very solid games today.

EDIT: Yeeeesh, do we need to let Embry-Riddle's stat crew (one person, btw) know what an "assist" is?  They only credited IC with 14 assists on 35 made field goals and Burton with just 3.  I counted 7 at least just for him and I figure the team shoulda had 20 easy.

I'm just so grateful that Burton is allright.  Like I said in a previous post he is an electrifying player who is just plain fun to watch.  From what I've heard about the "Stevens" bump,  it could have been a lot worse than missing a couple of games. And to get 33 in your return is quite a statement.  Hopefully the bombers can take the title tomorrow and make upstate NY proud!!        P.S. Caz Bomber - U don't have to let yourself out (you provide way too much entertainment!!)  Gr8! Post.     And Bamm thanks for the tidbit on Jesse's bro down at Cornell!!!

Honestly, who shoots 7-9 from 3pt range? I don't think Mike McGee even did that in his career of shooting wide open 3's for Fisher. And knowing where Burton usually shoots them from makes it even more impressive; his toes are rarely close to he arc.

Ripon knocks off St. Lawrence 94-79. Looks like tomorrow will be a tough game for the Bombers. Ripon recently held a lead late in the second half to the #3 team in the country. Looking forward to this game hopefully Ithaca can carry over from today's performance.

"and seems to barely break a sweat while dogging his opponent"

In a 101-91 college game I would venture a guess that no one broke a sweat dogging their opponent

Ithaca trails Ripon at half, 37-27. Special thanks to Caz for the update. Apparently, Ithaca can't throw it in the ocean this game.

Bombers rallying. Ripon lead down to three, 60-57, just under 8 mins left.

Smalt's back for Fisher this weekend.

[Caz Bombers]

Tough game, Ripon won 79-71, Ithaca couldn't really make a shot the whole way.  Burton in particular struggled with his touch all day (3-15, 2-9 from deep); his discomfort wearing the Rip Hamilton mask was obvious (taking it off and chucking it across the court at the IC bench at one point before later re-attaching it.).  Ithaca's inability to hit threes or free throws today cost them this one along with poor defense on several Ripon inbounds under the basket.

Leahy had 22 pts and 9 reb, Louis Kail had one of his best games as a Bomber with 17 and 6.  Burton still finished with 13 pts and 6 assists while an otherwise ineffective Bostic grabbed 12 rebounds.

Alfred 78-72 over Caz.  Sounds like Pep should have made the trip

Big win for Fisher last night!!

WPI is a solid team year in and year out and that may be a turning point for Fisher this year. Smalt being back is a huge lift, and things may be comming together.
