A recap of the East Region scores.


Plattsburgh State 76  MIT 53.
I had this one 73-66 in favor of the Cardinals. Just missed with the Plattsburgh total but MIT couldn't hold up their end of the bargain.


Eastern Connecticut 81  Husson 75
I was almost perfect with this score as I had Eastern winning it 83-75.



Hobart 94   Scranton 81
I had  this one as a victory by the Royals 77-70. Happy I got it wrong. The Statesmen deserve an NCAA win after the tough overtime losses they've had in recent memory

Morrisville State 83   Brockport 80
I had the Golden Eagles winning this one by an 81-67 margin and at halftime it looked like that prediction was well on its way to coming true as Brockport led at the break 36-18. Last week the Golden Eagles were the recipients of a 19 point comeback to win the automatic NCAA bid. This week they are the team that gave up the big lead and had their outstanding season come to an end. Have to hand it to the Moville Mustangs for pulling off another shocker.

Dickinson 83  Geneseo 76
I had the Knights winning this game by a 76-74 score. I got the Geneseo part right on the button but Dickinson used a slew of 3 pointers to win this game. Tied at 54 with 9:32 left in the game, Dickinson hit 5 straight 3 pointers in a 15-4 run, to jump in front by a 69-58 margin. The Knights got it back to 74-71 and 77-73 but couldn't get it any closer. The Red Devils had 10 triples in the game. Tough loss for the Knights but still an outstanding season.


SUNY-Purchase 97   Hartwick 71
I had this one 85-70 in favor of Purchase.  Again I had one side almost perfect but Purchase is guilty of piling on.

[bearnation]

Interesting  2 SUNYAC Schools lose and 2 SUNY Schools who play outside of the SUNYAC win leaving Plattsburgh as our only hope.  It looks like the same questions will once again come around.  The SUNYAC can't get it done come tournament time.  Why should the SUNYAC have multiple teams in the tournament.  You can say what you want about Morrisville and their conference.  At the end of the day they beat our best team on their court,  Purchase is an Arts school that blew away an Empire 8 school. On yea both of these schools beat Brockport this year.  By the way Purchase plays is a gym built with NBA dollars.  The Knicks used it for years for their practices.  Maybe the folks at D3 are correct the east just isn't that strong.  I do have an issue with the brackets.  Why are the number 13 and 15 ranked teams playing each other in the second round  Purchase vs. Albert Magnus.  This should be a great game running and gunning with lots of scoring.  I have a feeling that the winner of the game will make a huge run into the tournament.  Once again good luck to Plattsburgh you are our only hope.

Plattsburgh State 76  MIT 53

Cardinals took control of this game midway through the first half when they broke away from an 11-11 tie game with a 15-5 burst that opened up a double digit 26-16 lead. Ezra Hodgson who was the star of tonight's game canned a jumper and Xavier Thomas followed with a pair of free throws. Hodgson followed with another jumper but this was from behind the arc, and McIntosh followed that with a jumper of his own that resulted in another 3 points when he was fouled on the play. That made it 21-11 with the 10 straight points but MIT cut into the lead with 5 unanswered points of their own. Unanswered for only as long as it took Mike Mitchell to take an inbounds pass and leisurely walk the ball up the floor. When the MIT player guarding him backed off as Mike brought the ball in the frontcourt, Mike made him pay by swishing a bomb and on the Cards' next possession Hodgson was fouled and his two free throws made it a 10 point lead once again. MIT cut it back to 8 on their possession but the Cardinals' point guard, Chris Manning, was left unattended and Chris made them pay as he drained another Cardinal triple. Seconds later Alan Siergiej was the reciepient of a Manning pass after Chris stole the ball and fed the big guy for a layup. The lead was up to 13 which was the largest of the period with 3:23 left to play. The Engineers did get a nice basket from Dennis Levene right at the buzzer to cut the margin to 10 points, 33-23 at the break.

The second half started pretty much like the first half ended with Ezra Hodgson burying another 3 pointer and Shamoy McIntosh hitting one on the Cardinals' next trip down the floor. Back and forth action continued as MIT countered with a 3 point play by 6'8" big man Andrew Acker. The Engineers also got a pair of inside moves by another 6'8" big guy, Matt Redfield, and  6'6" forward Justin Pedley. Plattsburgh countered those with a pair of layups from their small forward, John Perez and the score was still a 13 point double digit lead at 43-30. Acker got loose inside for 2 more layups but Plattsburgh's MacIntosh buried another threeball and followed that up with an inside move of his own and the lead was 14 going on 17 as Hodgson hit another long range bomb. The closest the Engineers got after that was 14 points and Hodgson, with the Memorial Hall crowd chanting his name in unison ....Ezra, Ezra, Ezra,...drained back to back 3 pointers to boost the lead to 67-46 and it was time to warm up the bus, which the Plattsburgh student section was fervently telling the MIT bus driver to do. The lead grew to 26 points before a 3 pointer by MIT cut it to the final of 76-53.   

Plattsburgh State played a great defensive game against the bigs from MIT. They really pressured whichever one got the pass inside with solid double teams all night long. When their bigs got the ball down low many times they ended up kicking it back out to the perimeter because the path to the basket was blocked. The Cards got outrebounded by a 37-31 margin, but it didn't help that the Cardinals best rebounder, John Perez, was saddled with fouls early in both halves. He only saw 5 minutes of action in the 1st half and only got 5 more minutes in the 2nd half. He went to the bench with 15 minutes left in the 2nd half when he picked up 2 quick fouls to give him 4 at that point. He re-entered the game with under 4 minutes to go and picked up his 5th foul seconds later. I don't think the refs liked him because they certainly had no business calling the fouls on JP that they did. Sadly, this was the first NCAA game of his stellar career (he was out last year with an injury) and the zebras took it away from him. The good news is that John should be well rested for tomorrow's encounter with Eastern Connecticut.

As I mentioned up above, the MVP of tonight's game was clearly Ezra Hodgson. Ezra had a game high 27 points tonight which is also a new career high for the junior forward. He was stroking the ball well tonight, as he usually does, but the Card's point guards Chris Manning and Mike Mitchell kept looking for Ezra and finding him. Ezra didn't let them down as he made 9 of 16 shots from the field, including 6x9 from behind the arc. So if we do some simple arithmetic we see that Ezra was only 3x7 inside the arc. Ezra...some advice,,,back up when you're not behind the 3 point line. In addition to his 27 points Ezra had 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and a block in 37 minutes of court time.

Shamoy McIntosh returned to the lineup after missing the majority of the last regular season game and both the SUNYAC playoff games. The junior shooting guard picked right up where he left off as he scored 15 points (4x9 fg, 2x6 3's, 5x5 ft) and had 4 assists. He was also all over the court on defense and took a number of hits that had me holding my breath when he hit the floor. So afraid we were going to lose him with an injury again. Shamoy is still not 100% but we'll take what we can get at this point from one of our top offensive threats.   

Alan Siergiej came off the bench and gave the Cardinals a big lift when John Perez got in foul trouble. The big guy had 10 points (4x6 fg, 2x4 ft) and 4 rebounds in 28 minutes plus he played excellent defense on the MIT bigs without getting a single personal foul. The 28 minutes represented a career high at Plattsburgh State.

John Perez only played 10 minutes but managed 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 assist. His workday was cut short by a crew of zebras who had trouble deciding what was and what wasn't a foul from one minute to the next. Guys knocked to the floor and undercut couldn't get a whistle yet if John breathed hard on the man he was guarding he got flagged for a foul. Some real strange calls in this game.

Chris Manning is only 6 feet tall but had as many rebounds as all but one of the behemoths from MIT. Chris grabbed 7 boards, had 4 points, 4 steals and 2 assists. I know he had more than 2 assists so I'm guessing the stat crew missed a few or didn't give him credit for a couple of passes that resulted in points.

Mike Mitchell only took 2 shots but they were both 3 pointers and they were both nothing but net. He also had 3 assists and 2 rebounds in 16 minutes of playing time.

Xavier Thomas added 4 points and 4 rebounds off the bench.

The Cardinals outshot the Engineers in all 3 areas as they were 24x56 from the field (42.9%) to 19x48 for MIT (39.6%). Plattsburgh was 11x39 from long distance (37.9%) while MIT was only 5x22 (22.7%). The Cardinals were 17x23 from the line (73.9%) to 10x16 for MIT (62.5%) The taller Engineers did win the battle of the boards 37-31 but that 6 rebound margin came in the 1st half when they had 22 rebounds to 14 for Plattsburgh. The Cardinals outrebounded MIT in the 2nd half 17-15.

One of the biggest statistics that was instrumental in the Cardinals' victory was that Plattsburgh only had 5 turnovers that led to 6 MIT points. The Engineers had 17 turnovers that led to 17 Plattsburgh points. The defensive pressure that the Cardinals applied throughout the game, gave the taller and slower Engineers problems that they had trouble handling.

The Engineers were led by Andrew Acker who had 14 points (6x9 fg,2x5 ft) and a game high 10 rebounds. Acker also had 5 assists and a block. Justin Pedley also had double figures for MIT as he scored 10 points (3x14 fg, 2x11 3's, 2x2ft) and had 3 rebounds. Dennis Levene had 7 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. Tim Butala had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Engineers season comes to an end with an overall record of 20-9 and a NEWMAC championship and by any measure a successful season.

Plattsburgh State improves to 23-5 and will meet Eastern Connecticut to see who will advance to the Sweet 16 next weekend. The Warriors were an 81-75 winner over Husson earlier on Friday. The game will start at 7:00 PM on Saturday evening.

Eastern Connecticut Warriors 23-6  at  Plattsburgh State Cardinals  23-5      7:00 PM

The Warriors have a history against the SUNYAC and most of it is positive . Over the past 3 years they have played 4 games against teams in our conference and have went 3-1. They've beaten New Paltz  twice, once this year and once last year. In 2011-12 they beat  Oswego State in that famous NCAA 2nd round game that went to double overtime. The 70-69 win at Oswego occurred when Brian Salzillo hit a 3 pointer with just seconds left on the clock to send the Warriors on to the Sweet 16 and ended the Lakers season. Last year in a holiday tournament down in Florida they hooked up in a barnburner with Buffalo State that was won by the Bengals 89-85. This is, I believe, the first time the two schools have ever met.

The Warriors have a 3 pronged attack as they come at you with a trio of talented guards. Mike Garrow 17.7ppg, is a 6'4" senior guard who is also the 2nd leading rebounder on the team (7.7rpg). Garrow goes to hoop more than anyone on the team and because of that is their leading free throw shooter (155x189). He has over 100 more attempts than anyone else on the team and he also has one of the highest free throw percentages, making 82% of his attempts. He can also shoot the three if needed (27x87.  Brian Salzillo, a 6'0" senior guard, averages 17.0 ppg and is the top 3 point shooter on the Warriors. Salzillo has made 88 of 219 attempts from long range for a 40.2%. He also leads the team in steals with 29 and shoots 78.6% from the line. The third leading scorer is sophomore guard 5'10" Trachone Preston who averages 16.1 ppg, and 3.1 rpg. He leads the team with an even 100 assists, good for a 3.4 apg average and also likes to penetrate and get to the line where he knocks down his free throws at an 84% rate (73x87). He is the 2nd best 3 point shooter on the team (61x156, 39.1%).

Most of the bigs on the team are 6'4" or 6'5"  except for a freshman who is 6'11". He doesn't see a lot of action though and averages just 8 minutes a game.

The Warriors like the Cardinals will try and beat you with their speed and athleticism and have put together another outstanding campaign. they are a well coached team and will be a handful for Plattsburgh so I expect a closely contested game. The only 2 common opponents are New Paltz State and Keene State. Both teams handled the Hawks without a problem and Plattsburgh hammered Keene State in Plattsburgh. Eastern also blew out Keene State in one game but had a 72-69 scare the 2nd time they hooked up in Keene. 

Plattsburgh will be looking at a mirror image of itself in many ways and I think this game could very well come down to a three point shooting contest. The turnover battle will be huge as well. Eastern will have to improve in both of those areas today if they hope to come away with a win. Yesterday they were only 4x17 from long distance, an unusually poor effort, and had 15 turnovers. Plattsburgh was 11x29 from behind the arc and only had 5 giveaways in their game against MIT. I'd certainly like to see both teams repeat those numbers today.

The oddsmakers have made the home team Cardinals a 9 point favorite but I think that's a bit too many. I think the Cardinals will come away with the win here but I see it more like an 81-77 final score.

I've got Plattsburgh 79-72, but at least we are both on the same page with the Cardinals winning.  May the best team win tonight!

Magicman......read your post on the Little East board about meeting the ECSU  HBC's family.  Will point out that the HBC is an alum of Hamilton College....as is also the HBC of RIC.   Could he be a son of New York State?

Guess your Cardinals will be dropping by for a visit again.

Final Score Plattsburgh State 70 Eastern Connecticut 60   Plattsburgh advances to the Sweet 16

The score doesn't indicate how close this game really was. With 6;30 left to play it was a 2 point Plattsburgh lead at 54-52 and anybody's game. Cards made some big plays down the stretch and came away with the win. Both teams played a strong defensive game which cut down on the scoring opportunities.

I'll have a full recap later on. Glad to see the Cardinals moving on to the Sweet 16.  Congratulations to Eastern Connecticut on another fine year. They have some good young players on their team and should be fine for the next few years. Especially impressed with freshman Hugh Lindo (20 rebounds and 10 points today). Also sophomore Kevin Leumene who came off the bench yesterday and today  with great games. He had 14 points and 7 boards today.

Plattsburgh State Cardinals 70  Eastern Connecticut Warriors 60

An excellent game on Saturday in Memorial Hall in Plattsburgh between two well coached teams that were both quick and athletic, both played great defense and both left it all on the court as they were looking to advance to the Sweet 16.

Every game has an outstanding performance and the story of this game was the inspired play of Plattsburgh senior John Perez. Denied the opportunity to play in his first NCAA tournament last year when he was injured late in the regular season, JP was really looking forward to Friday's first round game against MIT. Unfortunately some rather strange calls by the men in stripes had John sitting out large portions of both halves of Friday's game. Expecting to play at least 30 minutes, if not more, he was limited to 10 minutes of court time and his disappointment was clearly evident. It was certainly not how he had envisioned his first NCAA game in a Cardinal uniform to turn out. I told him after the game that the good news was that he would be well rested for the Warriors since he took the night off.  He's normally a super nice guy, but today he became a monster as he scored 21 points and pulled down 15 rebounds to record yet another double-double and lead the Cardinals into the Sectionals next weekend.     

The first half was a closely contested affair that featured 4 ties and 8 lead changes. The largest lead occurred when the Warriors'  Kevin Leumene scored 5 straight points to break a 17-17 tie and put Eastern up 22-17 with 8:15 left in the period. Leumene had entered the game for the first time at the 12 minute mark and once again provided a spark off the bench. In Friday's contest he re-entered the game in the 2nd half and played a major role in reversing a deficit against Husson that enabled the Warriors to advance to the 2nd round. On Saturday with the score tied he nailed a 3 pointer and followed that with a drive to the hoop to give the Warriors that 5 point lead.

The Cardinals would respond with another inside move by John Perez, his 5th basket of the period, and on their next possession Mike Mitchell drove to the basket for the hoop and the harm to tie the score once again. The Cardinals would regain the lead 25-24 only to see Leumene have a deja vu moment, as he again scored 5 unanswered points with a 3-ball and a short jumper in the paint. He had scored 10 points and had been on the court for less than 9 minutes. A jumper by the Cardinal hero from Friday's game, Ezra Hodgson, narrowed the lead and Perez hit 1 of 2 from the line to make it 29-28 with 27 seconds on the clock. The Warriors set up for a final shot and after looking to make one from behind the arc by their 3 point specialists, were forced to change direction under fierce defensive pressure from Plattsburgh.  The Warriors' Trachone Preston tried to hoist one as the clock wound down and at the last second, literally, whipped a pass inside to Hugh Lindo who was left uncovered for a brief instant. Lindo got the shot off, then the buzzer went off and the Warriors trotted off the court with a 31-28 edge at the break. Lindo was a rebounding machine in the first half as the freshman had 14 rebounds and 8 points. Perez was the leader for the Cardinals as he had 11 points to 1 up the Warriors Leumene.

The Cardinals didn't waste any time tying the contest back up and it was obvious that the game plan was going to continue to work the ball inside to Perez. After Perez rebounded a Warrior missed field goal the Cards came down and quickly got him the ball. the result was an old fashioned 3 point play and that scenario would repeat itself a few minutes later when JP would do the same thing. Like two boxers going toe to toe, the teams would fight through 5 more ties and 5 more lead changes. Down 35-31 Perez would get his 2nd "And One" bucket of the half. The Warriors' Preston would score off a drive to make it 37-34 only to have the Cardinals' Eddie Correa bury a deep one to tie it up again with 15:43 to play. For the next 4 minutes neither team had more than a 2 point lead, when tied at 46, the Cardinals got another 3 pointer from Ezra Hodgson to take a lead they would never give up. There was 11:27 left in the game at that point and Eastern looking to tie it up came up empty on their next possession. Xavier Thomas got the rebound and when Plattsburgh got the ball down to their end it ended up going out of bounds off an Eastern Player. It seemed so insignificant at the time but it gave the Warrior's coaching staff an opportunity to call time out. Plattsburgh had to inbound the ball from the left side of their baseline and off a designed play that the Cardinals' Coach Curle set up during that time out a high lob pass was thrown to the rim by point guard Chris Manning. The pass was perfect, the recipient was the X-Man Thomas, who timed his leap, caught the alley and threw down the oop as he was fouled by Leumene. It brought the Memorial Hall crowd screaming to their feet and they rose again as Xavier made the free throw to complete the 3 point play. Just like that the Cardinals had the largest lead of the game and it looked like they were ready to roll, while the house was rockin.

Not so fast, said Leumene and Lindo, as the L&L boys made back to back buckets to close within 2 points. John Perez too the rescue with another inside move and then Shamoy McIntosh decided to make his presence felt. McIntosh was the Cardinals' leading scorer for most of the season until an injury slowed him down some over the past 3 weeks. He missed the conference tournament last weekend but returned to the lineup with 15 points in Friday's contest, basically his season's average before the injury. On Saturday he had been relatively quiet with only 3 points in the first half. Now with the game on the line it was time take the stage. Trachone Preston scored to once again bring Eastern within 2 points at 54-52. Plattsburgh called time out, McIntosh entered the game, and 20 seconds later he drained a 3 pointer with the defense right on him. The Warriors missed a layup, got the rebound and missed again and McIntosh was fouled at the other end, driving to the hoop. He made the free throws and after both teams misfired McIntosh swished another jumper to make it 61-52 with 3:51 left to play. The Computer had scored 7 unanswered points to open up the new largest lead of the night.

Eastern wasn't dead though and Preston buried a deep three to cut it to a 2 possession lead. Mike Mitchell was fouled and made 2 free throws but Mike Garrow scored, was fouled and his free throw cut the lead to 63-58 with 2:20 to go. McIntosh was fouled again and made the free throws again, but Garrow came right back with another short jumper to cut it to 65-60 with 1:46 left. Still plenty of time for the Warriors to pull out a win. I watched this club do just that to Oswego 2 years ago when Brian Salzillo made the 3 pointer in double OT to send the Lakers home for the season.

Chris Manning wasn't going to let that happen though, and was looking to erase some bad memories of a week ago. The fastest man on the floor took matters into his own hands and drove to the basket and scored to make it a 3 possession game with 1:10 left on the clock. And then for good measure Chris stole the ball as the Warriors were bringing the ball up the floor and fed a breaking Mike Mitchell who made the layup and the lead was 69-60 and this one was history. Mitchell did go to the line one more time and made 1 of 2 to make the final margin 70-60.

John Perez, as mentioned at the beginning, led all scorers with 21 points to go with his 15 rebounds. JP not only got his double-double in his first "real" NCAA tournament game (since he was taken out of last night's contest by the whistleblowers) but he played the entire 40 minutes, was excellent on the defensive end and was only called for 1 foul. Amazing what a difference a day makes.

Shamoy McIntosh finished with 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist. he also played great defense especially on the 3 point shooters from the Warriors.

Mike Mitchell came off the bench to score 11 points going 3x4 from the field and 4x6 from the line. He had a big 3 pointer that brought Plattsburgh back from their final deficit to tie the score at 46.

Yesterday's MVP, Ezra Hodgson only took six shots today but made three of them and two were from long distance including the one that gave us the lead for good. Ezra ended up with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist while playing 39 minutes.

Chris Manning once again directed the offense superbly and was 4x5 from the field scoring 8 points. Chris had 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals in 24  minutes on the court.

Xavier Thomas only had 5 points but none were bigger than the alley oop dunk that shook the rafters. The XMan also pulled down 6 rebounds in 17 minutes of playing time.

Just like Friday's game the Cardinals outshot their opponents. They were 25x54 from the field (46.3%), 5x12 from long range (41.7%) and 15x25 from the line (60%). The Warriors were 26x67 (38.8%) from the field, 5x28 (17.9%) from 3 point land, and 3x5 from the line (60%)

I said in my pregame report that this game could come down to a three point shooting contest or won by the team that had the fewest turnovers. To show you how evenly matched the teams were consider these stats. Both teams only made 5 three point buckets (but the Cardinals did so with quite a few less attempts)  and they each had 9 turnovers.  They also finished dead even in rebounds with 38 boards each. Each team also registered just 8 assists and that happened  because we witnessed a lot of one on one play.       

The Warriors were led by Kevin Leumene and Trachone Preston who both scored 14 points. Leumene also hauled down 7 rebounds had 3 blocks and a steal. He was the only Warrior player who was effective from long range as he canned 2 of his 3 attempts. Preston had 3 assists and 2 rebounds and 2 three pointers as well but took 11 shots from downtown.

Hugh Lindo was the most impressive player on the floor for the Warriors, along with Leumene. Lindo gave the crowd his best Dennis Rodman impression as he just snatched everything in sight that wasn't near the Cardinals' John Perez. Lindo ended up with 10 points and 20 rebounds to capture honors in that category. I'm sure Warrior fans are drooling over the prospect of having him cleaning the glass over the next 3 years. Having Leumene for 2 more years as well, just makes it even better.

Mike Garrow in his last game as a Warrior also hit double figures with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. He also struggled from beyond the arc going 0-6 there.

Senior Brian Salzillo would have preferred to go out on a better note than 2x11 from the field. The sharpshooter had a great career though and sometimes the rock just doesn't fall the way you'd like it too. He ended up with 5 points and had 1 three pointer in 7 attempts.

In the end it may have been the 3 point shot that cost the Warriors the game. It seemed when they were working the ball and looking to go inside they had success. Lindo had 8 points in the 1st half but they quit going there (he ended up with 10) and the shots from long range weren't falling. The Cardinals didn't give them a lot of open looks and contested the three point line quite well, but the Warriors kept firing them up anyway. The Cardinals were also having trouble finding open looks from beyond the arc due to the defensive pressure the Warriors were applying. So the Cardinals instead, looked to Perez inside, and had such success there that they kept going to him quite often. He wanted the ball and the Cardinal point guards kept giving it to him. In the end that was a large reason why they walked off the court with the win. 

Eastern Connecticut ends their year with a 23-7 record and another very successful season is in the books. They have been one of the premiere teams in the Little East and it looks like they have some great talent to keep their spot near the top of the conference. Good luck to them in the future. I told the Coach's family before the game that it was going to be a heck of a game and it was. I also said I like to see one similar to the Oswego game of 2 years ago only with a different outcome. We didn't quite get the barnburner that the Lakers-Warriors game was but it was still well worth the price of admission. And I did get my wish about having a different outcome.

Plattsburgh improves to 24-5 and will meet the Amherst Lord Jeffs for the second year in a row in the Sweet 16, probably in Amherst once again.

Who makes out these damn schedules anyway?

I can't imagine a happier dude in NYState right now than the magican. Congrats dude. What time today are you leaving for Amherst? I imagine that you may be the first 1 there to get their arena for tickets.  Sounds like u are gonna have 1 helluva welcoming party waiting for u!!

[thebear]

By the way even though Amherst is hosting, their students are on break.

[magicman]

By the way even though Amherst is hosting, their students are on break.

I spoke with Coach Curle yesterday after the site (which we already knew was going to be Amherst) was announced. He told me that Amherst was on break. I said get somebody at Plattsburgh State to get a couple of buses filled with students and send them to Amherst on Friday.   He said Plattsburgh State is on break also. Getting a ticket to the Friday games shouldn't be much of a problem.
