Empire 8

52-50, Fisher.

RIT was up by as much as 9, but Fisher stormed back with Bacon on the bench with 3 fouls.

52-51. Both teams with 6 fouls with 10+ minutes left. This doesn't bode well for RIT, who is TERRIBLE from the line tonight. Gethers and Bacon having big games for the Tigers.

2:06 to play.

RIT - 65
Fisher - 68

Fisher will end up winning this game, up 4 with seconds left. That's an incredible 10 straight wins over RIT. The Tigers have got to be pretty sick of this by now, especially when they are holding second half leads in the last two.

Like the game earlier this month, it came down to execution in the final 10 minutes and foul shooting. That will be an ugly looking statistic for the Tigers.

I'll also repeat my assertion that this is the weakest Fisher team in years, although that is becoming a more difficult point to defend with every win over RIT. Regardless, I see this year as finally the season where someone else wins the E8.

Okay then, well, what the heck....it might just as well be Alfred. Go Saxons! Undefeated in the Chase!

Geneseo won it in double-OT.

Good win for Fisher-keep it going!
They seem to need to get out of the flatness to start the game.
Anybody that has seen the trend- what gives?

It's not that FIsher is starting out flat -- it's that they aren't as good and they aren't overwhelming opponents from the get-go. They are executing very well in the last 10 minutes of games, getting open shots and hitting them.

Mueller, Newman, and McKeever hit big shots last night as the Cardinals shot 60% in the second half. RIT shot 10-24 from the foul line, and 39% in the second half. 2-15 from behind the arc. That's the difference. Not the greatest night from Zeinfeld, who finished 0-6, 0-5 from 3, and 0 points.

So who is next?

UR. Let's see if Fisher has what it takes to beat them twice in one year. By the way, to all the McSweeney lovers out there, Bacon takes Round 2 of their matchup. Rubber match at Fisher later this year.

I am glad to see that the Chase is overwhelming the conversations on this board. Unfortunately, I haven't read every post yet. Hopefully, the posts are positive and non vilifying.

Anyway, as a Hartwick fan I am getting excited for the Ithaca game tomorrow. I think the Hawks have the opportunity to make a statement tomorrow night in Ithaca. Last week, the opportunity was missed to knock off Utica due to the suspensions. Ithaca will be tough and physical, but I think the game is winnable for the Hawks.

The Carson/Cocozziello domination era in the Empire 8 will officially begin tomorrow night.

oh brother.
I thought you would have lightened up on the post rule thing by now!.

I repeat, there is NO DOUBT in my mind that Postup is MadHawk. I can tell by how petty he is and how unrealistic he is. Yeah, the Hawks MIGHT come into Ithaca and beat the Bombers. C'mon. Bombers by double-digits.

Dude, I admire your enthusiasm for Ithaca athletics. However, Ithaca has been known to lose at times.

I AM NOT MADHAWK. Please respect that, as I am respecting your thoughts and opinions.
