Honest question since I don't know these things off the top of my head and there are a lot of games to look up. Is Cortland's OOC resume that much more impressive than Ithaca's?

[jdex]

Guess here is probably not ......some homework to do, maybe. Cortland just started season near the top of the rankings and hasn't done much to fall precipitously -- though managing in midseason swoon in close games to stay afloat. Ithaca has certainly stated its case all season but wasn't given much respect at the start and flew low on the radar for whatever reason a good deal of the season.

Will be interesting to see next week's rankings. Cortland has upcoming conference tournament at home. Ithaca idle for a while and continued ascension probably depends on what higher ranked programs do.

Tuesday games:

Oswego 15-5, RIT 4-4
Fredonia 17-8, Hilbert 3-4
Brockport 4, Rochester 3
