Hmmm sort of disappointed there is no night crew on the hoops board like we had during football season. Now JoseQViper is at his desk late and wants to talk to someone...crickets?

I'd be down, but the wife wouldn't be to thrilled if I didn't come back downstairs from "finding some more comfortable clothes". I'm not even sure why I got on the computer when I came up here.

I live about an hour away. I am still at every game. A lot of my family is in the Utica area, and some of my wife's family as well.

Hartwick rolled over SUNY Maritime yesterday and I'd have been disappointed at anything less out of the Hawks. Tonight Elmira is at Pitt-Bradford. Rest of the week in the E8:

Tuesday - Morrisville at Ithaca; Hartwick at Skidmore; Utica at Hamilton; RIT at D'Youville
**UC and the Continentals battle of league favorites in Oneida County rivalry...thanks for joining us Tigers.

Wednesday - Allegheny at Alfred

Friday - Elmira at St. Lawrence; RIT at Clarkson

Saturday - Hobart at Ithaca; Elmira at Clarkson; Hartwick at Elms; RIT at St. Lawrence; Alfred at Cortland

IC needs to pick up 2 wins this week against newbie Morrisville and an apparently awful Hobart squad. Bombers rarely seem to beat the Statesmen though.

Don't forget about Fisher vs Mo-ville. I think it is on the 12/2. Another tune up for U of R.

FisherDynasty · November 27, 2006, 10:13:13 PM

If you mean by tune-up a bloodbath. Another very bad game especially to have to play right before a well disciplined strong UofR team. Im sure Fisher will be ready but these games are not very good for preparation.

What do we know about Morrisville.

Their football team looked like what you would expect a first year program to look like. But, they were bad at football when they were a JuCo (IC's JV team manhandled them annually) and you need to amass more talent to have a good football team than you need for a good hoop team. Since they were pretty decent at hoop (even really good a few years) do we think that will transfer over to D3? Did they keep any of their kids that played JuCo ball there?

FisherDynasty · November 28, 2006, 10:11:14 AM

they are not good. 0-3 and got killed in everygame against ok teamsw

It draws you back. I tried to not move to far away from the Varicks wings and Saranac thursdays.

I'll be at the UC game tonight.

Hamilton over Utica 68-64

Caz Bombers · November 29, 2006, 12:30:24 AM

Just the quick hits tonight, besides Utica's narrow loss to Hamilton we also had...

Bombers over Morrisville 82-60; Sean Burton with 12 points and 10 assists, Dominic Scanlon leads all scorers with 17 points, 13 points for Jeff Bostic. Sean Leahy DNP; any scoop there?

RIT whacks D'Youville as Barrett Zeinfeld ties school record with 8 three-pointers.

Hartwick wins at Skidmore to improve to 4-1 on the season. MadHawk..."come out and plaaaaaaaay!"

uc 45-
id say either cavallos or killabrew wings...
Varick were great - but have fallen off a bit.
How was the game?

Utica beat themselves last night. They outplayed Hamilton in nearly every aspect of the game. Killed them on the glass and had 20 assists to Hamiltons 8. Dennis Munch took 4 charges and UC forced many jump balls.

Unfortunately they couldn't hit the broad sign of a barn with uncontested shots. They must have missed at leat 20 uncontested shots last night, including at elast 10 lay ups. There was a point late in the game that they missed 6 consecutive uncontested lay ups. They moved the ball well and did everything right and just couldn't get the shots to fall.

Hamilton has some talent and plays tight D. If these two were to meet later in the year with the young Big guys from UC a little more developed, I'd expect Utica by 15. If they shot anywhere near what they usually do last night they probably would have won by 10. Regardless, Hamilton is a tough team that you need to play your game against or you will have a long night.

UC has a tough first semester schedule, and this makes the Cortland game even more important.
