   Just a thought while celebrating the Giants victory........ I wonder if Jake Simmons 53 point weekend (20 of 37 from the field - 54%, including 11 of 21 from beyond the arc - 52%) vs. Potsdam & Plattsburgh, might qualify him for A - SUNYAC Player of the week, B- ECAC Player of the Week and/or C D3Hoops team of the week?. Might I add that he scored 53 pts. in 48 mins of play (20 mins vs. Potsdam and 28 mins vs. Plattsburgh) and his 9  - 3 pointers vs. Plattsburgh broke a school record that has stood  since 2005!!!

  Just a thought!!

Go GIANTS!!

New Top 25 Poll out. Oswego drops a few more points from 48 down to 40 and goes from 27th to 28th. No mention of Buffalo State at all. NYU goes from #23 to #17 as their point total goes from 87 to 192. No other East Region team gets a point.

No Buff State?      *#$%^&*(+)*&^%$#@. (Had to get that off my chest!)

Well I can at least get a little enjoyment reading "10 questions for Norman Simmons"

Three games on tap for tonight.  I'm off to Middlebury to see the game so this is going to be real quick

Plattsburgh at Middlebury   7:30

Cards up against the top team in all of D3. Hope it's better then the Buffalo State game turned out. Point spread has Plattsburgh as a 23 point underdog. I hope it's closer.   Middlebury 74 Plattsburgh 61

Oswego State @ Geneseo 8 PM

Line has the Lakers favored by 6 points. Sounds about right.  Oswego 71 Geneseo 65

Cortland State @ Brockport State   8 PM

Oddsmakers have the Golden Eagles as a 1 point favorite. Brockport can't afford to lose this one, especiallt at home, especially after losing to the other Red Dragons. I think birds beat dragons this time. Brockport 78-74 over Cortland.

Perez 12 pts(6x12fg) and 7 rebs. Middlebury with 47-27 reb advantage. R. Sherry 20 pts(10x14fg), 13 rebs;N. Thompson 14 pts, 8 rebs

Thanks for the update jdex.  Be interested to get magic's take on Middlebury.  My gut feeling tells me that there are better teams out there in d-3 but none with undefeated records.  Is Middlebury the Ephs?  Always thought that was Williams?  Been trying to follow that league a little more now that Hamilton joined them.   Just a damn tough league.  5 or 6 really good teams.

Couldn't happen to a nicer kid. Nor 1 who has been through as much crap in thier life as Jake Simmons has been through! It's a small miracle that the kid is still here, let alone enrolled in college!
