" I'm Really happy with the win. Ithaca is a year removed from being in the Sweet 16 so anytime you can go on the road and beat a program of that caliber it is big.

"It was a tale if two halves, we really struggled with their size in the first half and to their credit they shot the heck out if the ball. We made some adjustments at halftime, but to be honest I thought our guys just competed really hard in the second half.

"We had a couple guys make some big plays down the stretch, but I am more proud of us holding them to 15% shooting in the second half. Great win for us going into exam break."

Skidmore is back in action Dec. 29 against FDU Florham in the Land of Magic Classic in Orlando.
