The tight play in a game that saw nine ties and 13 lead changes was depicted with two ties in the first three minutes. Wagner was the first to take hold, grabbing a 17-9 lead on the strength of an 8-1 run over two minutes.

Harris converted a three-point play and Bernell Murray netted a layup to make it 17-16. After Wagner responded, Klaiber hit a layup to again bring the Knights within only one, 19-18, with just under ten minutes left to play in the first half.

The Knights were able to push their edge up to double-digits, gaining a ten-point margin, 67-57, with 7:14 remaining on the board.

Streaking Knights: The Knights are on pace to string together their longest winning streak since the 1999-2000 season (seven games).

Coach Green's Take on the Game:"I thought it was a great team effort," said Head Coach Tom Green. "We played solid FDU basketball, especially in the second half. Vinson was definitely a handful, but we were able to clamp down on the other players."

"Chad continues to play very well, he is looking for his shots and being aggressive, doing what we want him to do and this afternoon he gave another big effort. Our frontcourt, Andrea, Gordon, Mike and Andre, all played very well. It's great to be 9-2 at this juncture in the season."

Block It Out: Individually, the Knights hold the top two shot blockers in the conference in junior center Andrea Crosariol (2.85 bpg; first) and senior forward Gordon Klaiber, who is averaging 1.72 bpg for second in the league. Junior Michael Peeples is also ranked in the league's top-15, averaging 0.60 bpg. As a team, the Knights are first with 6.55 blocks per game. In the win at Wagner, Crosariol broke his own single-season record for blocks, moving up to 57 with seven games remaining in the season for fifth place (his previous record was 55 in 2004-05). Jonas Singind had 64 blocks in 1997-98 for first in the single-season record books. At the start of the month, Fairleigh Dickinson was ranked 10th in the nation with 6.6 blocks per game. Crosariol was tied for 19th in the country with 2.8 blocks per game. In the win against Sacred Heart (1/23), Crosariol and Klaiber each posted five blocks (a season-high for Klaiber) to account for all of the Knights' rejections. Crosariol notched a season-high seven blocks against Robert Morris (1/28).

Harris Provides the Spark: Junior forward Andre Harris has led the bench in the last four games, against Wagner (12 points), contributing eight of the bench's 11 points against St. Francis PA, eight of the bench's 19 points against Robert Morris and putting up nine of the reserve's 14 against Long Island. On the season, Harris has led the reserves in nine games and the team in two games.

Timberlake Takes Honors: Senior guard Chad Timberlake was named Northeast Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the second consecutive time.

Timberlake led the streaking Knights into first place with a pair of wins last week, averaging 21.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He hit 55.2 percent of his shots from the floor and 80.0 percent from the line as Fairleigh Dickinson stretched its win streak to six and improved to 9-2 in league play.

In a 78-65 win over visiting Long Island on Thursday, he tallied 17 points (8-12 FG), eight rebounds and four assists, then erupted for a game-high 25 points and snared seven boards in the Knights' 87-72 conquest of Wagner in Staten Island on Saturday.

With the score deadlocked at 35-35 at intermission, Timberlake poured in 11 of FDU's first 15 points in the second half to help the Knights slowly pull away the Seahawks.

The Brooklyn native has averaged 22.0 ppg over his last five outings to raise his season average from 12.7 ppg to 15.3 ppg, sixth in the conference. He also ranks among the NEC's top-15 in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.71:1; sixth), steals (1.6 spg; seventh), assists (3.6 apg; seventh), field goal percentage (.480; ninth) and rebounding (5.4 rpg; 12th). In games against NEC competition, Timberlake is second in the conference with 18.2 ppg.

With Timberlake providing the impetus, Fairleigh Dickinson posted a 3-0 mark to stretch its win streak to four and move into a first place tie with Central Connecticut State at 7-2 in conference play.

Timberlake averaged 23.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.7 steals and shot 53.6 percent from the field in an outstanding all-around week.

He exploded for a career-high 32 points and added five rebounds, seven assists and two steals as the Knights subdued Sacred Heart, 81-73, at the Rothman Center on Monday, then tallied 23 points and nine boards in a 66-49 win at St. Francis (PA) three days later. In a battle for first place at Robert Morris on Saturday, Timberlake capped off his week with 14 points, five rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals. He scored the winning basket on a jumper in the lane with 12 seconds to play as the defending NEC champion Knights rallied from a six-point deficit in the final minute for an 84-83 victory.

The Brooklyn native is now seventh in the NEC in scoring at 14.8 ppg, and also ranks in the league's top-15 in steals (1.6 spg; seventh), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.66; eighth), assists (3.7 apg; seventh), field goal percentage (.481; 9th) and rebounding (5.3 rpg; 15th). Timberlake is tied for 12th in ofensive rebounds (2.00) and 15th in defenseive rebounds (3.35).

Putting On a Show: The Knights' 56.1 percent from the floor (32-57) against Long Island was their highest field goal percentage of the year. The 22 assists dished out at Wagner are also a team season-high. The Knights had a season-low seven turnovers and took a season-low nine three-point attempts.

The Knights' previous best game-high field goal percentage, connecting on 34 of 62 attempts (54.8%), was at Robert Morris. The 34 made field goals against the Colonials and 11 blocks were also season-highs.

TV Stars: The Knights have four games televised this season, with two on the MSG network in February. The Knights' game at Sacred Heart (2/16) and at Monmouth (2/20).

BracketBuster Finalized: Fairleigh Dickinson is heading to Wisconsin-Green Bay to face the Horizon League team in mid-February (date to be determined) in a matchup created out of the original pool of 100 men's basketball teams representing 18 conferences selected to participate in the BracketBusters presented by eBay.

Of the 100 teams, 26 were selected on Monday by ESPN to participate in the fourth annual BracketBusters presented by eBay -- a 13-game televised men's basketball event matching NCAA tournament hopefuls against each other on Friday, Feb. 17 and Saturday, Feb. 18. Last year's field included a potential of 64 teams representing 13 conferences (vying for 11 BracketBusters games).

For the remaining 74 teams in the "pool" that will not take part in televised games, an intra-conference home and home series was created. Wisconsin-Green Bay will visit Fairleigh Dickinson in November or December of 2006.

"We have been looking forward to finding out who we are going to play," said Head Coach Tom Green. "Todd Kowalczyk has done an excellent job of resurrecting the program and we hope it's going to be a very competitive game."

The Phoenix is currently 11-11 overall and 5-5 in the Horizon League following Monday night's 45-42 home win over Detroit. This is the first meeting between the two teams.

ESPN and ESPN2 will combine to televise six BracketBusters contests, ESPNU, the 24-hour college sports network, will televise five and ESPN360 will offer coverage of the remaining two. Game times and network assignments for the 13 matchups will be announced Tuesday, Feb. 7. This year's event will mark the first time games will be televised over two days. The first three years of BracketBusters, previously branded as Bracket Buster Saturday, featured every game on a Saturday.

The BracketBusters concept, named because of the success of teams from these conferences in NCAA Tournament play over the past years, provides participating programs with an opportunity to play top non-conference opponents approximately three weeks prior to Selection Sunday. Each conference selected their participating teams months prior to the season and the matchups for the event were determined by ESPN in conjunction with the conferences.

"We are thrilled at the opportunity to participate in this series," said Fairleigh Dickinson University Athletic Director David Langford. "Our team is playing very well right now and we're going to go to Wisconsin and introduce the Northeast Conference to the fans of Green Bay."

Big Man on Campus: In the Knights 74-58 victory over Lousiana-Monroe, junior Andrea Crosariol logged his first double-double of the season. Crosariol's 18-point, 11-rebound performance in 34 minutes of action proved to be the difference in the game as the 7-foot, 260 lbs. center out of Albano T., Italy shot 8-14 from the floor, was a perfect 2-2 from the line and grabbed seven of his 11 boards on the offensive end.

The NEC tipped off the 2005-06 season with two returning players already ensconced in the 1,000-point club (Landy Thompson, Mt. St. Mary's; Gordon Klaiber, FDU). A total of four NEC players reached the 1,000-point plateau last year to raise membership to 122 since the league began sponsoring basketball in 1981.

D-Fense!: The Knights had more steals than Seton Hall (8-6), fewer turnovers (11-18) and more assists (12-10).

Welcome Back: Of the top-10 scorers in the NEC thus far in 2005-06, only two - Long Island senior James Williams and FDU senior forward Gordon Klaiber - finished in the top-10 a year ago.

Klaiber On the Move: A two-time first team all-NEC selection, Fairleigh Dickinson senior forward Gordon Klaiber will look to put a stamp on his career in 2005-06 as he attempts to lead the Knights to back-to-back conference championships. He entered the season as the NEC's leading active rebounder and second-leading scorer.

He is just the ninth player in FDU history to amass 1,000 points and 500 rebounds and is on pace to become just the 23rd player in NEC annals to reach 1,500 points and 500 rebounds and ninth player to hit 1,500 points and 750 rebounds.

Murray Steps Up: Sophomore guard Bernell Murray recorded the second and third blocks of his career against St. Francis NY on Jan. 20. The two blocks in a game were a career-high. Murray scored eight of his ten points in the second overtime period to lead the Knights to victory against Canisius. He scored eight of the Knights' 11 points in the last five minutes, netting two free throws before sinking back-to-back three-pointers.

Career Production: Junior forward Michael Peeples had an outstanding night at Canisius, notching a career-high 18 points on a career-high seven made field goals. He tied his career-highs of two blocks, four assists and two three-point field goals.

Clearing the Glass: Junior forward Andre Harris entered the half against Dowling with 10 rebounds, breaking his previous career-high of nine and finishing the game with a team-high 11 total boards.

Team Effort: All 11 players that dressed for the game against Dowling put points on the board. Nine Knights had scored going into the half and five players notched double-digit points.

e's Honored: Freshman Cameron Tyler was named the Northeast Conference Choice Hotels NEC Rookie of the Week on Nov. 21.

The six-foot freshman guard came off the bench to score 17 points on 7-13 shooting from the floor, to go along with three rebounds and a game-high six assists in 36 minutes of work.

Taking Charity: In his first seven games, freshman guard Cameron Tyler was sent to the charity stripe 44 times, hitting 36 of those for an 81.8 percentage.

Tyler's current free throw percentage of 75% is good for 12th in the NEC.

Jordan Ingram has connected on 11 of his 12 attempts from the free throw line for a team-leading 92 percent.

Starting Off Right: After recording 20 points or more in eight games last season, as well as three games with 30 or more points, Gordon Klaiber was able to score a team-high 20 points against Maryland, a top-25 team known for its pressure defense.

FDU Chosen to Participate in ESPN Bracket Buster Saturday: Fairleigh Dickinson has been chosen to represent the Northeast Conference in the fourth annual ESPN Bracket Buster Saturday on February 18, 2006. It marks the first time an NEC institution has been tabbed to participate in the event, which pits potential NCAA Tournament hopefuls against each other three weeks prior to Selection Sunday and will feature 11 nationally televised games selected from an expanded pool of 100 teams representing 18 conferences.

"We're proud to have Fairleigh Dickinson represent the NEC in this year's Bracket Buster field," said John Iamarino, NEC Commissioner. "FDU's strong effort vs. Illinois in the NCAA Tournament is a good example of how the Knights have historically played well against good non-conference competition."

Fairleigh Dickinson, the defending NEC champion, will play on the road, but will not learn of its opponent until late January, approximately three weeks prior to the event. As part of the agreement, all 11 of the Bracket Buster Saturday home teams, as well as the remaining 39 home squads competing in non-televised contests, will play a "return" game at the home facility of their opponent in November or December of the following season.

The Bracket Buster has expanded each of the last three years, with 18 teams participating in the inaugural 2003 event, 46 in 2004 and 64 in 2005. The selection of the 11 games to be televised will be made by ESPN, in consultation with commissioners of the participating conferences.

Fairleigh Dickinson captured its fourth NEC title in 2005, all of which have come under 23rd year head coach Tom Green, the winningest coach in NEC regular season and postseason history.

In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the Knights played top-seed and eventual national runner-up Illinois to a first-half standstill, gaining instant recognition before a nationwide audience in a 12-point defeat.

Collegehoops.net Predicts: The Fairleigh Dickinson University men's basketball team has been projected to win the 2005-06 Northeast Conference (NEC) championship by Collegehoops.net and is listed at No. 142 in their top 144 teams in 144 days college basketball preview. Collegehoops.net is a leading independent college basketball website.

NEC Preseason Poll: With three returning starters, including two preseason all-NEC picks, defending tournament champion Fairleigh Dickinson has been chosen as the 2005-06 NEC men's basketball preseason favorite, according to a vote of the league's head coaches. The preseason rankings, along with the league's preseason all-conference team, were announced during a media teleconference with coaches on Wednesday as a prelude to the NEC's 25th anniversary season.

Looking to become the first league team since Rider in 1993 and 1994 to repeat as NEC champion, Fairleigh Dickinson earned nine of a possible ten first place votes from league head coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own team.

Monmouth, last year's NEC regular season champion, finished tied for second in the poll with Wagner, which reached the 2005 NEC title game. The Seahawks received one first place vote, as did Long Island, which was picked fourth. Central Connecticut State and St. Francis (NY) finished tied for fifth in the poll, followed by Quinnipiac, Mount St. Mary's, St. Francis (PA), Robert Morris and Sacred Heart.

This marks the first time in 12 years and the third time in school history that Fairleigh Dickinson has been selected the NEC's preseason favorite by league head coaches.

Under the tutelage of 23rd year head coach Tom Green, the Fairleigh Dickinson program has captured four NEC championships, and has performed admirably in subsequent NCAA Tournament appearances on each occasion. Last March, the Knights trailed top-seeded Illinois by a single point at halftime before eventually succumbing, 67-55.

The Knights captured the 2005 NEC Tournament championship and earned the program's first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1998. After finishing the regular season in second place, Fairleigh Dickinson defeated St. Francis NY (78-60), Long Island (70-62) and Wagner (58-52), all at home, to win the league crown.

Preseason Predictions: Five leading college basketball publications have selected the Fairleigh Dickinson University men's basketball team as the favorite to win the 2006 Northeast Conference title and return to the NCAA Tournament. Additionally, all five have tabbed senior forward Gordon Klaiber as the Preseason Player of the Year while two other Knights earned preseason all-conference honors.

The Knights were selected to capture first place in the Northeast Conference in Sporting News College Basketball preview. Sporting News also picked Klaiber to the Preseason All-Conference First Team and Player of the Year.

Fairleigh Dickinson was picked for a first-place finish in Athlon Sports and Street & Smith's College Basketball previews as well. In Street and Smith's forecast, Klaiber was selected to the All-NEC team and was tabbed as the top player in the conference. Athlon picked both Klaiber and senior guard Chad Timberlake to the All-Conference First Team and projected Klaiber to earn Player of the Year honors.

In the conference breakdown done by CBS Sportsline.com, FDU was chosen to finish at the top of the NEC. In the preseason picks, Timberlake and Klaiber were slotted in the first team, while Klaiber was tabbed as the Player of the Year.

In Lindy's Basketball preview, Fairleigh Dickinson was predicted to take first place in the conference and both Klaiber and Timberlake were selected to the All-Conference First Teams. Junior center Andrea Crosariol was honored with a second team prediction. Timberlake was given the superlative of "Most Versatile" in the magazine's honor roll and Klaiber was selected as the "Best NBA Prospect".

Knights in the NCAA Tournament: In their three previous trips to the NCAA Tournament (1985, 1988, 1998), all under current Head Coach Tom Green, the Knights have given each of their first round opponents a scare, but fell short.
