College of Staten Island's Tibbs hopes injury won't bench himPublished: Wednesday, March 02, 2011, 11:41 AMBy Jim WaggonerWild horses probably couldn't keep Thomas Tibbs from the basketball court, but a dislocated middle fingeron his left hand just might end his season.It turns out that the 5-foot-8 junior point guard for the College of Staten Island played the final 27 minutesof the CUNY Conference Tournament championship game with the injury on his non-shooting hand. He hadthe finger in a splint and went through light drills yesterday but his status is questionable for tonight whenthe fifth-seeded Dolphins (17-10) open the ECAC Metro Tournament with a quarterfinal at fourth-seededRutgers-Newark (17-7)."I can't see myself ending the season likethat," said Tibbs, who played all 40minutes of the 62-56 loss to Medgar Eversthat denied CSI's bid for the NCAA DivisionIII Tournament. "I really want to play. Thedoctor said I would need to tape threefingers and he wasn't totally against it, butthere is a risk of needing surgery if I hurtit again. I'm not worried about the pain,but I am concerned about playing withthree fingers taped. It's a veryuncomfortable way to play, but it'spossible."Staten Island Advance photo/Derek AlvezCSI's 5-foot-8 Thomas Tibbs drives to the basket against Hunter's 6-11Panagiotis Koutsoloukas.Tibbs scored a game-high 22 points in theCUNY finals and has averaged 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in his first season at CSI.He was named first-team All-CUNY as the Dolphins captured the regular-season title and top tourney seedwith a 10-3 record.The St. Peter's HS product said that if the Dolphins had qualified for the NCAAs for the first time in nineyears, "there wouldn't be a decision to make." But he also said he owes it to his teammates to make everyeffort to play.Page 60 of 179
"I don't want to minimize the importance of the ECACs," he said. "They invited us to a tournament and it's agreat field. I want to be there for my team."Tibbs said he was injured while driving to the basket and landing hard after contact with an opponent in thefirst half of the Medgar Evers game Saturday."It swelled up pretty quick," he said. "We popped it back in place. It was painful but it was a championshipgame. I tried to keep it secret but I think they (Cougars) knew because they kept slapping my hand the restof the game."Tibbs wasn't the only Dolphin needing medical assistance in the aftermath of the CUNY finals.Junior forward Jordan Young, who surpassed the 1,000-point career mark and also was an All-CUNY firstteamselection, suffered what is believed to be a broken nose in the first half. He had 19 points, ninerebounds and four steals in a 39-minute performance.If the injury report isn't tough enough to digest, the ECAC selection committee did CSI no favors with theRutgers-Newark matchup.The Scarlet Raiders boast a pair of All-New Jersey Athletic Conference guards in 5-11 junior Pedro Burgos(first team) and 6-2 sophomore Al'Don Muhammed (second team) and were 11-2 at home. They didn'tqualify for the six-team NJAC tourney, but feasted on CUNY competition in December. They went 6-0 againstthe CUNY, including a 81-72 overtime win over Medgar Evers to open the season. They also topped Baruch88-75 and York 93-50.The winner of tonight's game will face either top-seeded St. Joseph's, L.I., or eighth-seeded New YorkUniversity in Saturday's semifinals.The championship game will be Sunday on the homecourt of the highest remaining seed.------NOTES: This is CSI's 18th appearance in the ECAC tourney. The Dolphins have been bounced in the firstround the last two trips, including a 76-63 home loss to Rutgers-Newark in 2004 ... Tonight's event is anECAC doubleheader, with the top-seeded Rutgers-Newark women's team hosting eighth-seeded OldWestbury at 6 p.m., followed by the CSI game at 8 ... The Scarlet Raiders went 7-6 in the NJAC and thismarks their sixth ECAC appearance in the last seven seasons under 10th-year coach Joe Loughran ... The all-time series is tied at 2-2.© 2011 SILive.com. All rights reserved.Page 61 of 179
