Empire 8

[dewcrew88]

Fisher 75 Ithaca 59

Utica 73 RIT 66

some scores: 87-66 Fisher

Utica wins at home against RIT. After the IC loss to Fisher tonight, UC takes sole possession of 2nd place in the E8.

Hartwick 79, Nazareth 72

Not looking good for Naz

[tigerfan2]

Pretty sloppy game @SJF tonight. Fisher really pulled away in the second half after looking pretty bad in the 1st. Big game for McGee as well as Auman. O'Brian probably could have averaged 20 a game this year if he felt like it, but he hasn't been looking to shoot that much in the games I've seen.

How IC beat RIT I'll never know, they looked aweful tonight. Joe and Burton look like a good combination in the backcourt for the future though. I wasn't really impressed with Bellis in this game. I know Bennett is a great defender, but Bellis was not aggressive at all unless Bennett was out of the game. The bench looked pretty weak for IC as well.

Then again, IC could have had twice the talent they have and still lost that game, Mullins is that bad.

Speaking of Senior night for Fisher, looking to next year, it looks like they may really struggle with their guard play. I know they will probably recruit well, but they only have one experienced guard coming back next year (Mueller).

Hartwick over Naz again, things are not looking good for GB15's prediction.

Final from McLane Center:
AU 71, Elmira 51

Fisher by 21 over Ithaca...IC needs a big win tomorrow against UC for the all important 2 or 3 seed...Auman has a big game on senior night...

Gee, last I knew, IC was playing at AU tomorrow. As for Auman, he is class. Local boy from Genesee Valley (Belmont-Angelica)....should have played at AU. But happy he had a successful career at SJF.  Got a chance to speak with him about the AU-SJF football game during Thanksgiving break at a hoop tourney in Cuba. You Cardinal fans have probably tried to erase that particular Saturday from your minds.

AU, I think Col was referring to the basketball games. Do you guys not play at the hoops games?

You're right, GB15....thanks! I was thinking Col was from Utica. We do NOT play at the hoops games. It's just not the same. Football is the ideal sport for a pep band because with the huddle, you can play in response to every play. Basketball does not provide that opportunity. We tried it a few years ago but it's also tough getting our folks to the gym, especially with scheduling back-to-back Friday-Saturday games. We have no music major--we have engineers, glass scientists, etc. who have labs that take much of their weekends.

Pretty easy win for us tonight.  RIT seemed to quit.  Played a lot of guys.  Ray was awsome.  If he doesn't win player of the year something is wrong.  He went for a double double and absolutey destroyed Snyder.  Now we should hammer Naz tomorrow.

By the way, bye bye GB15.  Hartwick will get number  4 and none of us wil have to see your posts anymore.  Please everyone make sure we hold him to his bold predictions.  And please MADHAWK do whatever you need to do but get another win and shut him up!

As for Ithaca as I predicted 0-2 baby after tomorrow.

Ithaca was hanging close for a while and then start of the second half Fisher just started to rain 3's McGee broke the all time school record for most 3's but Brian Joe made a few 3's from beyond the NBA mark great shooting for him.  Game of the night was the women's game which Fisher trailing all game pulled out late.  Melissa Hartman was a beast tonight and could have taken on the Ithaca men's team

I'm still gonna post even if Hartwick gets 4 wins, Clear. If for no other reason than to destroy your stupid posts as I always do. I feel it is my duty to protect the E8 board from your assanine and uninformed opinions. I do, however, understand your desire to get rid of me. I mean, if another poster was consistently showing me up and proving I was wrong on a daily basis...I'd want them gone, too. I originally said if Hartwick got to 6 wins, I would never post again, then I lowered it to 4.

I'll still say they won't get to 6 wins. Say I'm not a man of my word, I'm fine with that. I'm going to be a lawyer for god sakes, of course I don't have ethics. But I'm not willing to give up proving you wrong everytime you take to this message board. "Utica by 20 over Fisher," or "Utica by 14 over Oswego," or "Utica is the best team in this league," or "Utica is different this year, they'll be able to win the big games in Rochester," or any other stupid statement you've made this year, and there have been a lot. I think I've pretty much served you each time you've opened your mouth about Utica basketball. And I like Budcrew, but you're doing everything in your power to make UC the most hated team in the E8. If you want to post some knowledge, do it...but you haven't done that yet.

I could have proven you wrong about the refs in the Superbowl, but I chose not to because coupled with your depression upon realizing Utica is a fraud, like always, it would be too much for your psyche, or lack thereof, to handle. If you still want me to, I will though.

Once again, I commend you on your bold prediction that Ithaca won't win either game this weekend. In honor of your testicular fortitude, I have some equally bold predictions of my own:

-The sun will rise in the East tomorrow
-Duke will make the NCAA tournament
-Hartwick will not make the NCAA tournament
-In ten years, St. John Fisher will still be located in Pittsford, NY
-In fifteen years, Utica still won't have an E8 title but you'll still be running your mouth because you're a hater, you're a nothing, your school is a piece of garbage for the most part, and you're just a guy whose dream is to hold the jock of a Utica College basketball player.

Aim high, Clear.

I only have one prediction to offer:

One of the next 25 posts on this board will include the words "Booyah Folks!" and be written in 9,432-point type.

[fisheralum91]

GB and Caz,
It's Sat am and I'm still waiting for the clear and hawk response.
Hoping that clear found himself a life and went out to Champs bar and got a nice fat chick.
Hawk on the other hand still hasn't left his dorm room.

Clear - Congratulations on the meaningless win, something Utica has excelled at getting.  The E8 tourney field is set.  That game meant nothing.  When you had a chance at marquee wins ( vs. Fisher, @ Fisher, @ RIT, @ Oswego ), your team does their best Indianapolis Colts impression. 

Even with McVean running guys in and out constantly it was still a close game.  Please cut the "easy win" crap, anyone who looks at the game stats can see the margin was between 5 and 10 points the entire second half.  And somehow I imagine Fran Snyder is sleeping just fine tonight after Bryant "destroyed" him -- which is a complete fabrication, considering Bryant played 35 minutes and Snyder played 18. 

You're an idiot.

[gobombers15]

Clear, it takes a real man to spout off at the mouth when his team is doing well then, for the most part, completely disappear when his team has lost 3 out of 5 games like you did. That's class, friend.

Booyah


The Hartwick Basketball Emerging Dynasty is Progressing!

Evidence:

9 Wins
3 conference wins
2 conference home wins
1 conference road win
1 conference sweep (Naz)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last night's win against Naz brought tears to my eyes! What makes the win even sweeter is it was a complete team effort conducted by the Hawks. For the first time this season 5 Hawks were in double point figures and one of those five wasn't Jan COCOZZIELLO. I could go on and on about last nights win, but I have a life to conduct.

I think it is pretty safe to say that Naz didn't really have a chance in the game, except for the end of the game.

Ciao for now.....

More later.......

P.S.
GoBombers15 your days,hours,minutes are numbered on this board. You made a tactical mistake bumping your 6 win threshold down to 4. Enjoy your time us while you can!

[gobombers15]

And who exactly is going to keep me from posting, MadHawk? You have a life to conduct? Is that the same life that entails thinking about Hartwick basketball as you fall asleep each night, as you so readily admitted? I hope you enjoy that life, say hi to your Mom for me because you obviously live with her.
