Sounds like Ray also has an injured ankle.

My daughter is at the game. I don't think it is on the internet. I tried everything but couldn't get it.

Utica up by 22 with 5:45 left.

Ok, thanks. Further updates would be much appreciated as the game continues.

Utica wins 72-49.

fisher down by 2 with 8 seconds left

RIT beats Fisher 70-68, RIT makes huge plays down the stretch. Big rebounds and they played real good defense on Fisher's last possesion.

Fisher caught a break with the Utica loss last night, and handed it right back.
A little frustrating.

Any news on the Ithaca/Hartwick game?

No upset in Oneonta as the Bombers upend Hartwick, 62-53. Sean Burton scores 18 for the Bombers and Jeff Bostic chips in 13 and 7. Coco goes for 12-6-5 but Ruffrage keeps him in check, somewhat. Solid win for the Bombers, avoiding the hangover from Friday night.

Ithaca wins!

RIT is a road juggernaut; 5-0 away from Clark Gym this year.

Just noticed Hartwick took advantage of another slow start for the Bombers, taking a quick 21-8 lead. The Bombers respond with a 20-0 run of their own and never trail again. Hartwick pulls within two with 8 mins left but the Bombers go on a 8-0 run and never look back. Hartwick doesn't score a FG over the last 8:19 of the game. Ithaca's been playing better defense since the Fisher game.

I think IC needs 8 wins to assure them a berth in the E8 Tourney. Standing at 6-3, they only need two more. One of those wins will almost assuredly come at Elmira, meaning they will have to only win one of their four other games (at RIT, at Naz, vs Fisher, vs Alfred). None of those will be easy, but I think they can take a minimum of two.

Not that I'm complaining about a win, but would it be too much to ask if any particular Bomber could have back-to-back good games? Leahy and Brown, who each were vital to the Utica win, were total nonfactors today and it was all on Burton and Bostic to get the W, with some help from Stahn and Rogers.

It's about time RIT finally got one vs. Fisher. They always seem to play them tough and then fall apart in the end. It's good to see they got over that mental hurdle after losing 10 in a row to Fisher.

And after having to watch NC State beat UNC in person today, at least one of my teams got a win today.

Caught the second half of the RIT/Fisher game. Huge plays from Rick Whitwood and Colin Roy down the stretch to end a painful Fisher winning streak.

Referees were not letting anything go, a lot of foul shots for both sides (both teams were pretty mediocre from the line, as well).

RIT down by 7 with about 12 minutes left when Barrett Zeinfeld hit 3 consecutive threes, the last two off the dribble and covered well to put RIT up 2. They never trailed again.

Bacon has a great statistical game, 15 points, 14 rebounds... as long as you ignore his free throw shooting (5-14). For the record, McSweeney had 9 points and 6 boards.

Tigers own the Cardinals on the boards, 49-36.

Ray Bryant was named to the d3hoops.com team of the week for last week. I just noticed it yesterday.
