GENEVA, N.Y.—Hobart junior guard Colby Feane (Weedsport/Weedsport, N.Y.) recently was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-East second-team. He is just the eighth Statesman to earn NABC All-East honors.
A first-team All-Liberty League selection, Feane led Hobart in scoring (16.4 ppg), assists (3.04 apg), free throw percentage (.796), steals (2.48 spg), three-point field goal percentage (.491), and three-pointers made (2.24/g). He led the conference in steals and three-point shooting and ranked fourth in free throw shooting, fifth in scoring and three-pointers made, and eighth in assists.
At his best against the Statesmen’s toughest competition, Feane scored a season-high 25 points three times: at national runner-up Rochester on Dec. 8, against fourth-ranked St. John Fisher on Dec. 20, and at Rensselaer on Jan. 29. He made a three-pointer in 24 consecutive games this season, eclipsing the Hobart record set by Michael Gambino ’02 (21). With 829 career points, Feane is on the verge of becoming the 19th Statesman to record 1,000 career points.
A master thief, Feane recorded at least one steal in 24 games and made three or more 12 times, including a season-high six in the regular season finale against Vassar on Feb. 19. His 62 steals this season is just six shy of Hobart’s single season record set by Dave Rubin ’98 during the 1997-98 season.
Feane guided Hobart to a 16-11 record, the third highest win total in the program’s 95-season history. The Statesmen won the Liberty League regular season crown, earned an ECAC Upstate Tournament bid, and won the program’s first postseason game, defeating Plattsburgh 88-74 in the quarterfinal round. The 2005-06 Hobart basketball team will welcome back four starters and 11 letterwinners.
