Game of the Week - Williamsville East @ Iroquois on Tuesday, February 4th
- One of, if not the most competitive league in all of WNY this season, ECIC II has produced a compelling league race all season. Not only did no team make it to the half-way point without a loss, but the first place team in ECIC II has two losses.
Iroquois is the team currently sitting atop the ECIC II standings, while Williamsville East is a spot behind in second place, locked in a tie with Sweet Home, Williamsville South, & Hamburg. All the teams in second place in ECIC II have three league losses.
In the first meeting between the two, the Flames scored a nine-point home win over the Chiefs to account for one of the Iroquois losses. The Chiefs later dropped a tight one at Williamsville South, but Iroquois has yet to lose on its home court this season.
A win for Williamsville East would force a five-way tie in the race for the ECIC II crown and make it more complicated than a three-legged burlap sack picnic race. A win for the Chiefs over Williamsville East would all but ensure at least a share of the ECIC II title, while winning out would give Iroquois the title outright.

Can't imagine any games being played in WNY today. Games get called off when it's cloudy and 42 degrees with a 30% chance of precipitation, so today when we're actually experiencing a legitimate storm, there's no chance of seeing a game.

Anything from yesterday rescheduled for tonight?

City Honors @ Olmsted is the only one I've heard of so far.

According to both Maxpreps, and the Buffalo News, Iroquois at Hamburg is at 1:30pm, not 7:30pm.

CC, is Cathedral Prep any good?
Posted by: hoopster | Friday, February 07, 2014 at 12:28 PM
Cathedral Prep is always good. They lost to Archbishop Carroll, ranked 1st in PA and 27th in the nation by Max Preps Freeman rankings, by a score of 47-35. Tough to tell much else looking over their schedule, but suffice it to say, they will be good. They are always extremely well coached and play their butts off.
That should be the best game Canisius gets between now and mid March.
