The E8 tonight:

Elmira at Cortland
Alfred at Hilbert
FDU Florham at Stevens
Hobart at SJF
RIT at York NY
UR at Nazareth

All winnable (even UR-Naz) except for Elmira, who would lose to their own women's team.  I don't expect Naz to win but it wouldn't shock me, I'm going to believe this is the year Naz makes "the leap" until proven otherwise.  Fisher should definitely win by about 10-15.

Meh.  Where's the blue?  They look like Georgia Tech in that photo.

Raptormania (Howard)....nice article on ESPN Page 2, I enjoyed it, the situation at Bard you describe of a few years ago sounds like the beginning scenes of a lousy sports movie.

What about throwing Gibran Hamdan and his 2 career NFL pass attempts out there? Or have the personnel guys make a few phone calls...I hear Rob Johnson is available.

Hartwick had the ultimate fat kicker back in the day, and the video closeup of him crying tears of pure gravy after missing a potential game tying extra point against RPI (empire sports game of the week) will be forever etched in Gro's memory.

Caz remembers a fat barefoot Hartwick kicker missing a 20 yard chipshot that would have beaten Ithaca at Butterfield back in 2002.  The same one or is being jolly and roly poly just a general requirement to kick for 'Wick?

Very nice win for Geneseo.  Pretty tough to beat NYU in any sport.

The Naz starters the 1st two games have been the McAdamses, Canori, Tyler Smith and Leon Hill.  Higdon is indeed averaging 18 ppg off the bench.  Keep that up and the 6th Man of the Year Award won't just be a boat race, it'll be a....what's a good analogy here?  A space shuttle race?

Stevens beat Middlebury 73-63, nice win over a NESCAC team.  No box available yet.

Naz clobbered New Paltz 88-71 as expected...Naz with 5 in double figures led by Rayvon Higdon (19), Joe Canori (17) Ryan McAdam (12 pts 11 reb) and Corey McAdam (12 pts 6 reb 9 ast).

Alfred is that terrible, the coaches were right.  Lost by 22 to Westfield State last night and an OT loss to Mount Saint Vincent (seriously?) tonight.  Garlen Patt and Ellis Walsh with 20 each for the Saxons.

Elmira lost by 40 to Ferrum last night.  How a program can do such a great job at never ever improving even a little bit forever and ever is just beyond me.

I don't want to alarm anybody but Hartwick is undefeated...they beat Lehman the other night by 10 and beat Mount St. Mary today on the road on a Jan Cocoapuffs 3 at the buzzer.

Utica held off SUNYIT 75-66; McClendon 18 and 10, Herring 18 and 9, Goodman 16 and 6.

Ithaca beat Albany College of Pharmacy 100-50 today, an achievement on par with successfully tying their shoelaces in the locker room.

Dangit.  I hope Potsdam turns out to be good this year.  Shouldn't need Bostic to beat Albany College of Pharmacy tomorrow.  I've decided I'd rather play ACP and win a game that doesn't count than play Clarkson and have the "computer numbers" go down even with a victory.

Bostic's football duties will be over by dinnertime tomorrow, barring a miracle....but I'd trade off being without him, say, through the Stagg Bowl ;D

E8 Basketball is underway for the 07-08 season and it's off on the right foot.  Nazareth defeats Oneonta 79-69 at UR's tournament.

Corey McAdam 17 points 9 assists 4 steals; Rayvon Higdon 17 pts; Joe Canori 16 pts; Tyler Smith 12 pts 8 rebounds

Ronald Stokes leads O-State with 17 pts 9 reb

EDIT: No, never mind, different format for the tournament, Naz vs. New Paltz tomorrow regardless.

Also, I have to think that Erika Steele of IC has to be the favorite to win E8 POY. Say what you will about Lindsay Wilson of Hartwick and Ava Thomas of Utica, and both are great players, but Steele put up some silly box scores during the conference season and post-season last year.

Steele was named 1st team all-region. Here's the link to see the teams:

http://www.d3hoops.com/all-region/07/eastwom.htm

I'll say that they both graduated so Steele could very well be the Preseason Player of the Year (do they do that in the E8? I don't think the men did a preseason team).

I just looked up Stevens for the first time, seems like every sport they've come into the E8 loaded and wbb is no exception.  All 5 starters back from last year's 21-7, 13-3 Skyline team.  Senior forward Dora Enright averaged 15 and 10.

From the Ithaca website and a quick Google search, it seems IC has a Division I transfer for the first time since I started following them.  Lindsay Brown, a soph who came off the bench for Manhattan College...started 1 game, averaged the usual 1.5 ppg or something lke that.  Maybe this is more her level in the E8 though.

I would say Ithaca has neither overachieved nor underachieved.  They've just kinda...achieved?  Mullins has never been able to find more than 2 or 3 good players at a time, not much in the way of bench production.

My point is there are other teams in the east that should get a shot.
Three from the E8 is outrageous.

It should be two, Hartwick (AQ) and STJohn Fisher.

The E8 champion is not bullet proof in any argument that has merit with any one with a clear head.

70 plus points in the games final season shoud have done IC in.



You do realize it was HARTWICK that gave up 70 points, not Ithaca, right? Or am I giving you too much credit?

Oh, and how about "season's final game", not "game's final season."
