Utica 73 Fisher 69....The Demons of Amherst are just too much for Fisher to overcome...Goodemote takes Fisher job after the game. Ray Bryant becomes player/coach and leads team to National title. you heard it here first.

Is anyone else nauseated at the possibility of Utica fans coming out of the woodwork if they win tonight, claiming they were better than Fisher even though they lost 3 of 4 to them? I'm going throw-up on myself just thinking about it.

o worries. At the risk of a Big East analogy, SU beats UC, but Utica does not beat SJF. UC has used its quota of miracles to get this far. The Pioneers are not nearly as good as their fans contend and may be worse than the SJF faithful believe.

What I find disturbing is that Madhawk has been trumped by Ulf. Does insanity and inanity know no bounds?

i'm gettin no audio or anythign from this d3 hoops broadcast, this is reall sorry, anyone else experiences this. CUSE HOOPS + FISHER =OWNERSHIP

bearseh - To be honest I don't know who's worse. At least I get the feeling that Mad Hawk knows he's crazy. Ulf seems to believe his bullsh*t.

No need to come out of the wordwork if we hang on (up 1 at half). This is what it si all about. To be in this position. Yes they beat us 3 times and yes they may be the better team but this game is the one that counts the most.

Utica is for real and we are going to near the top for a while to come.

Go PIONEERS!

I just turned it on and Fisher was up 12 pts and Bennett hits a 3ptr to put it up to 15.

78-59 Fisher a few minutes left.......4th time isnt a charm....Ray Bryant certainly no big game Ray.

reggieball22 · March 10, 2006, 07:40:47 PM

86-78 Fisher leads 1:30 left.......Utica making a very valient comeback but looks like they will run out of time.....Sean O'Brien has Mcnamara size balls he hit a huge shot to kill a rally at the shot clock buzzer basically falling down to the floor.

4-0 that is the deal. As I write this Tufts is winning. If Tufts holds on I believe Fisher is definitely going to the Final 4. Tufts is not as good. I saw the regional games in Cortland and Tufts would have been a 4th or 5th place team our league.

I hope you kick ass Fisher!!!!

Go E-8!

it looks like it will be tougher tomorrow with Fisher vs Amherst. Thanks for the compliments Clear. Your team is going to be great for years to come

Congrats to utica on a great season. Hopefully Fisher can exorcise those demons from last year and shut up some of these new idiots posting on the board lately, Good luck fisher

I saw that, some obnoxious utica fan came right over and tried to pick a fight as the game got started. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed and the rent a cop gave him hell when he returned to buds from utica. Gobomber, nice predictions on tonights game. Actually Ray Bryant did play a good game esp the first half. O'brien did have a real good game and that shot mentioned earlier was awesome as he contorted his body flying out of bounds. i think the Utica player kicked him on the inbound play but was one of the many fouls missed by refs tonight. First half it got obnoxious as the refs were calling every touch on fisher and missing most on Utica. Nice game tonight by Auman. Smalt a nice job tonight with 12 points, he is so patient inside and scored a couple behind the backboard fadeaway shots as he always gets a good look at the hoop before he lets the ball fly. Fenyn did a nice job in relief in the first half as well with 6 points.

The things you see when you dont have poster board and a magic marker. One of the utica Buds had a sign with the names Gordon, then WPi each with a line drawn through it and then Fishers name next. I would have loved to counter with Utica, Utica,Utica, with line through them and then a fourth time and draw it in at the end of the game.

Nice comeback by Utica at the end. Good game plan, it was basically cover Mcgee like glue, Inbound and get the ball in transition real fast catching fisher slow at getting back, and pay the refs off to attempt to get Fisher in foul trouble.

Watched first half of Amherst/Tuffs, fast hard game, amherst will be tough tomorrow especially with the loud big croud that was there tonight.

Congrats fisher for reaching the elite 8

Wow, I didn't even remember that one, I was thinking about in the parking lot before the game, and in the concession line at halftime
