Yabba Dabba Doo!

 

The only regret is that I did not make the trip as it sounded like a great game.

what a big win...the stage is set now to be 6-4 going into Utah...St Bonaventure and Cornell should be wins...lets get it done.

I agree.... a huge win, finally taking one on the road. I gota admit I was pretty down after 8 or 9 minutes into the game and there was no life. Then all of a sudden everyone started moving on offense instead of waiting of Jamar to do something and Siggers gone and lost his damn mind, the rest is history. WHHEEEEWWWW.

I think it's also very important to note that Harvard was hot coming into this game.

[olddog71]

I'm wrong again, but I'm ecstatic! Great win on the road. We're an even .500, compared with 2-6 at this time last year.

 

Danes cannot let down now. The Bonnies have been played better in recent outings, and Cornell will be no pushover.

 

Great win!

And that the Giffster was grabbing boards.

Anybody have the information on second half comebacks at the Division I level that is always sprinkled in the game notes?

 

Tonight's comeback was 11...Does anybody know where that stands?

Very nice win, it was good to dig in and persevere

[gmichels]

Great win. I will take any win on the road. Overall a very solid game with good three point shooting and hard work on the offensive boards. Our three leading scorers had great game and connolly and gifford had solid efforts down low.

 

Bring on the Bonnies!

BTW was the Fox broadcast an awful connection, or was it because I'm on vacation and had to use a dial-up?

Nicely done, UAalum72, as I tried but couldn't locate any copies myself. I guess before the Bonnies game they are going to have to remember to update that part of the hand-out.

 

Also, the boxscore is up:

Get rid of Connelly, and the starting five had all the points. Certainly there is a comment in there somewhere, right?

[Dane Pound]

I guessing everybody listened to the game. Siggers took over in the second half exactly when they needed it. Great win for this teams confidence.

[NYR]

personally I like Tobin's call better than Wyland's but someone needs to take the term "big fella" from his vocabulary. Tonight there were two "big fellas" on the floor and you often weren't quite sure who he was talking about.

Good game (for you) to catch in person, and it seemed as though a good portion of the 312 in attendance were rooting for Albany.

 

SI's recap:

 

BOSTON (AP) - Brent Wilson and Jamar Wilson scored 20 points each as Albany overcame a 13-point deficit in the second half and beat Harvard 79-76 on Tuesday night.

 

Jim Goffredo scored 20 for Harvard (5-4), which ended a four-game winning streak. The Crimson committed 15 turnovers that resulted in 17 points. Jason Siggers added 17 points for Albany (4-4). For Harvard, Evan Harris scored 15 points and Brian Cusworth had 12 points with seven rebounds.

 

Albany, led by Jamar Wilson 's nine rebounds, held a 40-31 lead off the backboards and sank 17 of 31 shots in the second half after shooting poorly in the first half.

 

Harvard led 33-31 at halftime and 72-69 on Cusworth's basket with 2:49 remaining. Then Wilson scored six points, four on free throws, in a 9-2 run by the Great Danes that put them ahead 78-74 with 46 seconds left.

 

The Crimson had taken their biggest lead with an 11-1 surge early in the second half that made it 51-38 with 14:11 to play. Goffredo scored five points in that stretch. But Albany's 13-4 run tied the game at 65 with 7:09 to go. Consecutive three-pointers by Siggers and Brent Wilson sparked that comeback.
