Utica Tech 93, Cortland 88 OT

Tech withstands big upset bid by home debuting Dragons who hold 49-33 first half lead. Tech gets rolling in second half and trails 63-57 at 11:45 on LaBoard hoop. His basket at 5:30 knots it at 73 but Corts regain edge. It's 81-78 at 1:48 as C. Reaves hits driving layup, and 81-80 on Reaves steal. A. Gilkes free throw on reb foul knots it at 81 in reg.

Slickyquick,

I'm sure the two all-conference level players off Potsdam's Elite Eight squad who are in med school were given a few extra hours on their MCATs, too. 

Darn that silly NCAA for giving out those post-graduate fellowships to exemplary student-atheletes.  Same with the Chancellor's awards.

Please explain "not the brightest bulbs in the bunch" to all of us.  I'm eagerly awaiting your response.

Ever consider that the focus, drive and determination that make one a successful athlete might also be able to be transferred to academic pursuits as well?

Was Turner one of those guys that is in med school? He was always a smart kid. We were teammates in HS but I am not sure what his degree is in.

I've got to give props to IT on an impressive win.

FisherDynasty

I have to give props to me predicted sleeper (not really sleeper, but always underated) Geneseo. 

I rate Geneseo & Bport as the 2 top Sunyac teams this year.  However, the sunyac with heavy dependency on athleticism is very unpredictable and a streaky.  So just because people have predicitions on who may be at the top, it is never certain and in the past is definatly not the case. 

bports

Brockport is starting to look like the villanova of last year. They start four guards and a forward and will be in your face for 40 minutes. They have 7 guards that can all play and that will even get better when shawn harris brother comes in next semester. Not sure of his name but he is another very good guard. This team is making it very tough for teams to get there offense started. They have 11 players getting pretty good minutes and are forcing teams to use timeouts just to catch there breath. The game at fisher is a good example of good guard play. Fishers guards are very young and were totally in over there heads, bport had a double digit lead for over half of that game. Just for the record bport is getting very hard to get into after they became a tier 2 sunyac school. You need about a 90 average along with a good sat score to be considered( i think an 1100?). As far as that special talent goes i believe the hoops team is allowed 1 per year. The football team is allowed 2.

I do know of Potsdam's two medical students Christian Turner and Jim Connelly and I don't doubt their extremely high GPAs. I totally respect the things that they did to the program athletically and academically but....

Potsdam has not exactly been known, especially in the past, as a fine academic institution. I don't want to name names but there are some players that have been there within the past 5 or 6 years that have struggled quite a bit academically. I know there are also other players like that at other schools but I'm just saying Potsdam because it was one of the first schools that came to mind. And yes, I do know that they are one of the 3 tier II schools in the SUNYs along with Brockport and New Paltz.

Maybe, a lot of myself mentioning Potsdam has to do with the 80's era when Jerry Welsh was there. They were a straight bandit program, regardless of what anyone in the North Country believes. They had unreal players during that time, but to say they had scholars would be a total lie.  I do believe there are still players from that era who still haven't graduated. I'm sure it was the same at Buff St when they were good and possibly Brockport during the recent NCAA stretch.  I am just stating the facts that I know.

The idea of these schools from the general public is what I'm really going from.  If you ask someone if they think Buff St or SUNYIT is a good school, most people would chuckle.

Wow bport blows a 15 pt second half lead to lose at potsdam. They almost swept the north country trip but potsdam comes out and shoots like 70% fg including around 75% behind the arc in the 2nd half. Hopefully bport learned a lesson from this, but all in all to go to the north and come out of it 1-1 is ok.
