I think it's obvious that Fisher and Elmira will definitely be in the tourny, but the other two spots are up in the air.  Utica falling to RIT is huge, not to mention Hartwick winning both games in Rochester this weekend is another factor...I believe Hartwick can run with those two wins, pull themselves together and get themselves in the conference tournament.

Although it certainly hasn't been the type of season Ithaca Women's Basketball is known for, major congratulations are in order for the Bombers on completing one of the greatest comebacks in the history of Division 3 basketball.

Down by 22 (60-38) with a shade over six minutes left tonight to Oneonta, IC went on a 16-0 run and eventually tied the game with 12 seconds left and won in overtime by two, 72-70.

Amazing comeback IC, hopefully this will be a metaphor for how the rest of the E8 season will play out.  Go Bombers!!

Fisher beats Ithaca, 71-64. The Cards finish the game on a 16-0 run over the last 3:05 to win it. Ithaca, with the exception of the last 2 minutes, leads most of the way in this one.

I'm pretty sure Fisher doesn't want to see Ithaca in the E8 tourney.

Elmira, gets destroyed by fisher, game was never even in doubt.  on senior day the fearsome foursome does it again.

You're the only dood on the board that doesn't know & accept that '57 can't spell.

Poor grammar and horrible spelling... it's just how he rolls.

     The NFL draft is over, NBA playoffs are going on, and MLB is starting to heat up. More importantly, what's brewing in the E8  Women's hoops for next season?  There has been alot of dead space since the last basket scored at Springfield in the championship game.
     Is there any news out there? New recruits, new coaches or transfers? Will SJF repeat? Let's hear from you.

Ok hoop fans ,lets get it going! I'm new to the Empire Eight scene, so fill me in. As I understand it SJF is the perenial  team to beat. Is that true for this year??How about Elmira, a  finals team last yearwith returning players.. I was told they have a talented freshman group coming in. Get me up to speed folks,I'm a  bball gym rat who is new to the area.

Big preview in the Democrat and Chronicle this morning:

Not one mention of Ithaca, kind of burns me, but oh well. These ain't the Stephanie Cleary days.....

sotier

Thanks for the article Maxpower. Good info there,maybe some clues on who to watch for. Tell me about your Ithaca team.Who to watch for,newcomers,key games. Also any info on Elmira. Thanks again from the sotier

Caz Bombers

Sotier, I'll do some research on returning players and perhaps post an E8 women's preview similar to the post I made on the men's board.  As far as schedule goes, Elmira seems to have scheduled for wins in the non-conference slate.  Mitchell, Keystone, Southern Vermont and Albany College of Pharmacy aren't exactly the cream of D3.

IC as usual is playing a pretty tough non-league schedule with roadies against Cortland, Oswego and St. Lawrence (not to mention the first meeting in as long as I can remember with Cornell) and home dates against William Smith and UR.
