Sorry, BAMM I was overestemating a little bit, but looking at the capacity of their gym it say 1800 and fisher is like 1100.

When are the selections coming out? It's 10:30!

Clear and UCgrad, what's gonna kill Utica is: 1) The loss at RIT, and 2) The fact they went 1-3 against NCAA teams. While the losses were only to one team, Utica's "body of work" is lacking that "statement win," if you will. I'd love to see two E8 teams but I think the chances are slim to none and I just saw Slim get on the last train out of town.

Well.... Fisher, Cortland, Plattsburgh, Hamilton are in. It'll be interesting to see who the rest of the teams will be. Pat Colemans predictions of the northeastern teams getting in our bracket weren't. What does everyone else think?

Still too early to tell, I think.

My mistake, Utica also made the NCAA Tournament! Congrats to all the Utica Fans! I didn't think they were going to get in. Wow!

UCgrad45 · February 26, 2006, 10:48:10 PM

WE ARE IN!

Congrats to Utica. Like I've always said, my first allegiance is to my team and the second is to the conference. Now go and make the conference proud and don't f@ck this up!!

Okay Utica Fans, what did the NCAA committiee see that allowed your team to get into the Tournament? Just curious. 21-6 come on, they couldn't overlook that, could they?

superman57 · February 26, 2006, 11:22:03 PM

YA UTICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Let's make it a 4th game guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gobombers15 · February 26, 2006, 11:38:31 PM

Anyone have any thoughts on who Fisher and/or Utica will meet up with in the 1st round?

superman57 · February 26, 2006, 11:45:06 PM

what's the possibility that they play each other in the first round

There's a greater chance that it's gonna be 75 degrees and sunny tomorrow in Rochester.

I just read on the tourney board that they don't match two teams from the same conference unless geography is a factor.

Juke box have you not been in the 585 this year, it's 60 one day and -10 the next

starstar · February 27, 2006, 12:37:23 AM

Congrats to ClearConceit, BudCrew08, UCGrad45, LilEyes and all the other Utica fans. I was holding out hope the committee would be as charitable to the East region as it has been in years past and it was so.

Go Cards and Pioneers, do the E8 proud!! Also want to wish good luck to Plattsburgh, Hamilton and Cort...Cortl....Cortland, gaaah that was hard for me to say.
