PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State men's basketball team, fresh off winning the championship in the Cardinal Classic last weekend, hit the road for a non-conference game at Clarkson University tonight at 6 p.m.

Plattsburgh State is currently 3-1 on the season after winning its tournament with victories over Norwich University (77-66) in the opening round and Husson (72-70) in the finals.

Errol Daniyan leads the Cardinals in scoring at 17.8 points per game, followed closely by Steve Thomas at 17.5 and Chris Ruiz, 14.3. Daniyan also leads the team in rebounding at 8.5, with Thomas second at 7.0.

The Golden Knights, meanwhile, are 3-0 thus far with wins over Cazenovia (76-62), SUNY Canton (71-61) and Potsdam State (83-62) to their credit. The victory over the Bears came last weekend.

Clarkson has three players averaging in double figures, led by Elson Pickering at 17.0. He is followed by Keith Murray (11.0) and Jonathan Hood (10.7).

Tonight's game begins a busy week for the Cardinals, who host St. Lawrence on Tuesday before opening their State University of New York Athletic Conference season this coming weekend at New Paltz on Friday and at Oneonta on Saturday.
