Hobart and Roberts Wesleyan go to OT tied at 64.

Fisher increasing their lead now up 77-63 with 4 minutes to play.

Fisher wins by 13 over Brockport. Got down by 5 to start the second half, but controlled the game from that point on. Fisher looked good again tonight, but we will really see what they have against U of R up next.
GO FISHER!!!

Man I love the Wendy's tournament. So much fun to see all of the area teams playing off in the same tournament. The longevity and history of the tournament just make it that much better.

I agree though in my head it will always be "The Chase".

Yes. The Chase tournament, and it should always be played in the middle of the season, when the seedings can be based on more than a few games.

Scheduling, though, is a little tough because as the E8 and LL have expanded, the conference schedule has gotten longer and it's a little more difficult to justify giving away a week in January with a handful of teams unable to play conference games.

I understand, and if that is what it takes to keep the tournament going I am all for it, but I much preferred the later date for the tournament.

Fisher never quit tonight against a really good U of R team, but could never dig out of a huge hole they dug themselves in the first half. Fisher could not make anything in the first 10-12 minutes, and U of R made a ton of 3's and Fisher was down 40-20 at the half. Fisher was able to cut the lead down to 9 at one point, but U of R made another run, and eventually put Fisher away. U of R by 13.

Hard to judge much from the game for Fisher. I was happy with the way they played in the second half, but the first half was so bad, it is tough to know what team is the real Fisher.

U of R on the other hand looked like the real deal. John DiBartolomo (sp?) was by far the best player on the floor, and had a great game. U of R is really solid.
GO FISHER!!!

Ithaca dropped the proverbial brick on the accelerator tonight. After sleepwalking through the first half and leading by only four, the Bombers put together one of the most dominant halves I've seen, outscoring Wells 56-28 to win 87-56. Five Bombers scored in double figures, led by Andrei Oztemel with 18 points and 12 rebounds

I wonder how much U of R's success comes from playing in the Palestra.  They have shot lights out in every game except against RIT in the first round of the Wendy's and I think that was at Hobart.

DiBartolomeo was just named one of the top 25 players in the UAA over the past 30 years.  I haven't seen him play in person yet, but plan on going to Clinton next week to watch U of R play Hamilton.

Two really good points. I felt like everything U of R put up from 3 went in. They just didn't miss all night. At the free throw line I don't think U of R missed one, and they shot a lot of them.

I knew DiBartolomeo could score from looking at the box scores, but I couldn't believe how good he was at the defensive (especially his perpensity for getting a steal and a score every I felt Fisher was getting back into the game. He passed well, could take people off the bounce, and scored whenever he wanted to. One of the better players I have seen at the D3 level (for one game anyway).
GO FISHER!!!

I wanted to stay very quiet as to not jinx it.  And I will kick myself if they go out and start laying eggs.

That being said, I saw all the preseason talk about everyone else but have seen this team twice at my alma maters tournament to start season, and a little team in Hoboken now has 2 wins against Top 25 teams after overcoming a 10 point halftime deficit to beat Williams up at Williams.  Shhh
