As of right now the only NCAA bid the SUNYAC would receive would be the Conference Tournament winner if that turns out to be Oneonta. If Oneonta loses in the Conference Tournament then they would probably get a Pool C bid. Of course it's still early and all these rankings could change considerably over the next 6 weeks.

Brockport St. travels to Fredonia St. and comes away with a 53-48 win to grab sole possession of 1st place in the SUNYAC with a 5-1 record. Oneonta is in 2nd with a 5-2 record. Golden Eagles will next host Plattsburgh and Potsdam this Friday and Saturday. Fredonia now 4-2, spends the weekend at Cortland and Oswego.

Oneonta hosts New Paltz (3-4) on Friday as these two only play once this weekend.

Taldi misses for NP at 0:03 and Williams completes scoring with ft. Williams at 15-1. Willies by 39-32 at half but Hawks soon turn the tide. A few ties and lead changes, but game stays tight.

Brockport trails Fredonia 22-21 at the break and falls behind by 7 before coming back to tie the game at 37 with 8:30 left to play on two baskets by Brandon Williams and a layup and 3 pointer by Gerald Williams. B. Williams trey and free throw give Port 41-37 advantage but Freds tie it again at 44. Back comes B. Williams with a layup and 1 to give the Eagles the lead for good. Another basket  plus 2 free throws by B. Williams and a pair of free throws by G. Williams round out the Brockport scoring and seal the win.
In the last 10 minutes of the game Brandon Williams and Gerald Williams score Brockports final 24 pts. 14 by Brandon and 10 by Gerald.

Brockport leads Plattsburgh 32-29 at the half. The fastest half I think I' ve seen or heard or watched live stats of,  all year. 30 minutes from start to finish. Cortland and Fredonia tipped off just before Plattsburgh-Brockport and had over 9 minutes left to play when Pburgh -Port was at the break.

[magicman]

Cortland St leads Fredonia St 27-21 at the half. No Brad Cooper for the Blue Devils. Maybe he got hurt in team's last game against Brockport? I noticed he only had 16 minutes in that game and he usually averages around 32.

[jdex]

Cooper ailing and missed good part of Bport game, according to Freds site. Cortlands routing Devils in second half tonight

Pburgh/Bport head to OT at 75

[magicman]

Plattsburgh Steve Thomas hits a 3 with 10 seconds left to give Plattsburgh the lead 73-72 over Port. Port misses ensuing possession and C. Ruiz is fouled. He makes both ft's with 4 secs left but Port's J. Zenkel nails a trey at the buzzer as they head to overtime.

[jdex]

Pburgh/Bport 89-89 headed to second OT. Port refusing to die ......down 86-79 with 2:06 left. B. Williams steal and layup at 0:09 knots it .......

[magicman]

Plattsburgh blows a 6 pt lead with 1:22 left and almost loses with 2 late turnovers giving Port last shot with 6 sec left in OT. Daniyan block sends it to Double OT
