First vote ever for a UAlbany basketball team?

How are we going to compare to the teams of the past few years?

[haggyland]

Shorter...

 

I read something from Coach Abe saying they were going to play a faster, more up-tempo game...if you can find someone to offer you a line on the over/under, take the over! (Until the rest of the gambling world catches on.)

GDG mentioned to me that it's our second time... first time was end of the 2012-2013 season.

Nice to start out the season getting votes. We could build on it by winning in the preseason WNIT. It would be great to get to Penn State.

Really? I had no recollection of that...mad props to GDG for the notable recall.

If we want coverage of women's BB, I guess we have to rely on the ASP Sitting down with Coach Abe

Today's T-U article on the St. Rose women mentions that Keyontae Williams is playing for CSR this year after limited minutes for Albany last year.

UA women won't settle for second place - Wilkin in the T-U

I doubled checked and his memory serves him right. Damn him and his useless knowledge.

He should have no trouble remembering anniversaries then!

 

Completely different note:

Shareesa Richards made ESPN's top 10 players to watch.

Preseason WNIT opens tomorrow vs. St. Francis College (Brooklyn). A 16-team regular season tournament featuring 14 teams with winning records . Win this and the next game is at University Park (even if Towson beats Penn State?).

I believe this is called a West Va rematch!

Women win their opening round game of the WNIT 90-47 over St. Francis of Brooklyn. They play at Penn State next, Sunday at 2.
