BRONX, NEW YORK, Feb. 13- A full house, 3,200 fans, witnessed an exciting, competitive basketball game between the Fordham Rams (9-14, 2-8) and the Dayton Flyers (15-9, 5-5) on Saturday afternoon at the Rose Hill Gym that needed five minutes of overtime to determine a victor. The result of each of the two halves and the overtime were decided within the final seconds.

The early minutes of the game were very one-sided as the Flyers missed 10 of their first 11 shots while the Rams netted 6 of 8 from the field. The result of the disparity in shooting resulted in a double digit advantage for Fordham, 13-2 at 15:13.

The Dayton deficit was lowered as the minutes went on. A 3 -pointer by Ralph Hill at the buzzer ending the first half gave the Dayton its first lead, 32-31.

A layup by Kevin Bristol after 17 seconds of play in the second half turned the advantage back to Fordham. The Flyers did not achieve their second lead in the contest until Josh Parker sunk a 3 pointer with 7:23 remaining on the clock.

The visitors tied the score at 63 with 19.3 seconds led to play. The Rams failed to score and the game went to overtime.

After the contest ended, Fordham coach Tom Pecora recounted his feelings as the game transitioned into overtime, “Once we got to overtime, I had great concerns because they’re a veteran team. They’re playing with just juniors and seniors on the floor and we’re playing with young guys and generally that’s the difference down the stretch.”

The result was to be determined in the final 3.5 seconds of overtime. Dayton led, 72-70, and Fordham had possession of the basketball. Alberto Estwick failed to inbound the ball successfully to a teammate and the contest concluded in favor of Dayton.

Pecora, deeply disappointed by the outcome, explained the reasons for the close defeat, “One of our goals was to keep them [Dayton] off the boards, especially Chris Johnson, and we didn’t. They [Dayton] went to the foul line 27 times in our gym. That’s how you lose games. Our transition defense was poor.”

Less than two hours after the men’s game ended, the Fordham women’s team (11-14, 2-8) took to the court against the Xavier Musketeers (6-17, 3-7) in a contest they expected to win.

The score changed hands several times in the first half. The visitors led by a basket, 23-21 at the half.

A 15-6 scoring run gave the Rams a nine point lead, 40-31, with 8:28 remaining in the game. The Musketeers responded with a 13-3 run to take a one point advantage, 44-43, with 1:25 left. A 3 pointer by Arielle Collins tied the score at 46 at the end of regulation.

Fordham defense evaporated in the five minute overtime. Xavier only managed to score 46 points in the 40 minutes of regulation, but erupted for22 points in the next five minutes to outdistance the Rams, 68-57.

The overtime defeats were especially painful for both genders as two of the 14 Atlantic-10 teams will not qualify for the conference tournament. With 2-8 marks the two teams will have to rise to a higher level to qualify. Both teams are better than they were last year. They generally play very competitively, but most improve to get to the next level.

NY or NJ Giants?

Should NY be throwing the parade?

By Rich Mancuso
BRONX, NEW YORK, Feb. 6- Giants’ football fans should remember this important aspect of their Super Bowl Championship. When was the last time the team played an NFL game in New York City? Therefore, with no disrespect, why again are New York tax payers contributing to another Canyon of Heroes Parade?
Again, this is not to take away from quarterback Eli Manning, a fourth quarter wizard who is a major reason why the Giants have the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in five years. Or four years based on what year determines the NFL football season.
Pardon the reminder, but 1973 was the last time a Giants football team played a game in New York. And that was at the old Yankee Stadium before they sought greener pastures and went across the Hudson River, to a swamp in East Rutherford New Jersey known as the Meadowlands.
Yet they are still known as New York. The organization corporate offices are in East Rutherford. The team pays taxes to the state of New Jersey and gains revenue shared with the state from interests of their new stadium, Met Life that is shared with another team once in New York, the Jets.
So why are, the Giants still considered New York, and not known as the Jersey Giants as should be appropriately named? The National Football League, according to a statement from their guru publicity department said, the league would not authorize a shift of franchise from one state to another. In addition, they consider the distance from midtown Manhattan to the stadium as the New York tri-state area.
Yes, but the Giants still consider New Jersey as their home. When reached Monday for a comment, an employee in the Giants publicity department said, “We are too busy right now to discuss the question. This has been addressed in the past and the NFL will direct you further.”
Apparently the Giants staff, occupied with arrangements and a parade in Lower Manhattan, which will conclude in East Rutherford, can’t be bothered with this issue. New York is the team, though more appropriate they should be tagged as a team from New Jersey. Truth is, the NFL views New York City, as do other major professional sports leagues as a revenue grabber, and New Jersey does not fit that bill.
But the only legitimate professional football team that represents New York is a bill, known as the Bills up in Buffalo. Hence, we have an issue. The Giants, with home grown fans, from the Bronx and New York City, by virtue of NYC officials, will be honored with an elaborate ceremony outside City Hall.
First it will be the parade. Similar to the one they had in February 2008, this parade will be estimated to a cost of over a million dollars, contributed also, as the Giants say, from their pockets and various sponsors. All for a team that does not punt, throw, or kick a football in New York City.
An accomplishment by this team that will be remembered as The Giants will go down as one of those teams that had a historic run. The last six weeks they surmounted all odds against them, the first 9-7 team to win a Super Bowl and fighting the last week of their schedule to make the post season.
So, we can’t fault the team. The political leaders who make a decision to host the Super Bowl champion parade in New York City, and perhaps for their own personnel interests should be at fault. They will be on the steps sitting comfortably at City Hall as the Giants receive their Key to the City.
The merchandise is being sold with a New York Logo. The team is in New Jersey including a majority of the roster that own homes across the Hudson River. They are not New York City, or the Bronx where plenty of their rich tradition is documented.
So, go to the parade and enjoy the moment. Remember, it is your tax dollars contributing to a celebration that should be held in New Jersey. Because the Giants are a New Jersey team despite the NY logo that is on their helmets.

Celebrate the Giants' Super win over the Patriots with Giants gear.

Bronx Giant basks in Super Bowl win

noreply@blogger.com (Got a tip?) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:17:39 PST

By Howard Goldin

BRONX, NEW YORK, Feb. 6- There were celebrations in the homes of most New Yorkers who were glued to their television screens rooting for the Giants to be victorious in Super Bowl XLVI. The yearly football ritual had greater meaning for New York and New Jersey natives and residents as the Giants defeated the favored New England Patriots, 21-17 in a very competitive and exciting football contest. The football house parties took on a higher level of intensity and joy when the Patriots were unable to score a touchdown in the final play of the game.

History was repeated when the Giants defeated the Patriots as they did in the Super Bowl of 2008. Although the oddsmakers were incorrect in their prognostications of a New England victory, Giants fans well remembered the 24-20 Giants victory of New England on November 6. That regular season win only increased the confidence of the players and their rooters.

Eli Manning, as he did in 2008, was the deserved recipient of the Super Bowl MVP trophy. He completed 30 of 40 passes for 296 yards, threw a touchdown pass and was not intercepted. Manning’s passes were caught by nine different Giants. The most successful receiver was Hakeem Nicks, who caught 10 passes for a total of 109 yards.
The Giants took a quick 2-0 lead on a safety. They trailed at halftime, 10-9. The final Giants tally, a six yard touchdown run by Ahmad Bradshaw came with 57 seconds remaining in the game. As in the Super Bowl of four years ago, the winning score by the Giants over the Patriots came in the final minute of play.
The contributors to the championship were many. Those in the Bronx were proud of a native son, defensive tackle Chris Canty. The 6-7, 317 pound defenseman was part of an effective defensive unit that prevented the offense led by Tom Brady from erupting.
Brady was born in the Bronx on November 10, 1982. He played high school football in Charlotte, North Carolina and collegiate ball at the University of Virginia.
The defensive specialist was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2005 in the 4^th round (#132). He played with Dallas for four seasons. He returned to his home town in 2009 as a Giant. He started all 16 games of the regular season this year.
During media interviews the weekend of the Super Bowl, he spoke of the cohesiveness of the Giant defense, “We understand that no man is above the unit and that we all have to work in order to be successful. When one guy is successful, we’re all successful. A high tide raises all boats. That’s how we look at it. We work together as a unit to stop the run and get after the quarterback.”
Before the contest, Canty tweeted predicting a win and a parade on Tuesday. He then deleted the tweet. His initial prediction was accurate.
More than one million fans are expected to cheer the Giants tomorrow in lower Manhattan for the parade that begins at 11 am, and at a public ceremony at City Hall.

BRONX, NEW YORK, Feb. 3- Malloy eked out a 59-56 victory as All Hallows couldn’t close out a late lead.

All Hallows took a first quarter lead with two three pointers to close out the quarter ending the 1^st with a 14-13 lead. The back and forth affair remained tight throughout the game until All Hallows pulled in front with 2:30 left in the third quarter giving the Gaels their biggest lead of the night at 7 with a 38-31 score. The lead however quickly evaporated as a foul on a three point attempt gave Malloy three free throws and a 38-38 tie.

The lead would change 6 times including 4 times in the fourth quarter, but All Hallows nearly made a comeback as two quick baskets in the last 15 seconds gave All Hallows an opportunity to foul Malloy with just over a second remaining, but Malloy ran the clock out before giving the Gaels one last possession.
