Zola I agree We need a change to truely get the Potsdam Basketball program back to the glory days. Its a joke to read that Potsdam Basketball is considered a basketball power. We have only really has one great year since Jerry Welsh departed. Was 04-05 a fluke?

Didn't the Bears have a couple of decent years since the Jerry Welsh days. Mitchell had them win the regular season a while back and Dobbs took them to the NCAAs twice. I would say that going to the NCAA would be considered a great year. If I recall correctly, Potsdam isn't exactly a hotspot destination for tourism in the winter. It's tough bearing (no pun intended) the cold up there.

Battle of the North Country tonight at Memorial Hall in Plattsburgh. Back and forth 1st half saw the Bears come away with a 37-34 lead at the break. Plattsburgh tied it on their 1st possession but Potsdam went on a 9-2 run to take the lead 46-39 at the 17 min mark. Bears remain in front and stretch their advantage to 14, 60-46 with 11:30 to go. Cards would narrow the gap but Potsdam remained in front and again extended their margin to 14 at 71-59 with 3:39 left. Cardinals Josh Bruno enters the game and proceeds to hit 4 baskets(2 3's) to bring the Cardinals back and they take the lead at 72-71 with 1:07 to play. Foul shooting then determined the outcome as the Cardinals missed 4 straight ft's while the Bears were hitting nearly all of theirs. Bear's big men clearly outplayed the Cardinal bigs tonight. (33 pts to 15 and 19 boards to 9) Potsdam was led by Brandon Siskavich with 17 pts(15 in the 2nd half). He was 6x11fgs,1x3 3's 4x4 ft, with 8 reb. Four other Bears were in double figures. Tom Kelso had 16 pts 7x13 fg, 2x2 ft, 11 boards, Alvin Dike had 13 pts, 2x6 fg, 9x10 ft, Damon Brown added 12 pts, 3x10 fg, 5x6 ft, and Brenden Graney chipped in with 12 pts on 5x10 fg 2x3 3's.
Plattsburgh was led by Chris Ruiz with 22 pts, 8x16 fgs 3x10 3's, Errol Daniyan with 11 pts 5x8 fgs, Shawn Gutzman with 10 and Josh Bruno with 10 pts in 2 min.

Bears even their SUNYAC record to 4-4 and are next on the road Fri. at Cortland then home on Sat. against Oswego.

Cards fall to 3-5 SUNYAC and host Buff St. on Fri. and Fredonia on Sat.
