Yale game notes

 

Albany release

 

RealtimeRPI ranks Yale 78, power rating 98 vs. Albany 218, power rating 121, but predicts 6-point win for Albany (64% chance of a win)

 

Yale has a 2-point loss to SMU and a 19-point loss to Duke after fairly easy wins over Fairfield, Sacred Heart, and Lehigh.

This would be a good win. I'm not so sure I like our chances seeing how the guards have been playing and Stire being out...

[Dane Pound]

I'm not sure if we've ever played both of the Coaching Jones brothers in the same year before but we need to find a way to get the Jones split today.

[Phoenix]

Will be a challenge today. Outside of Kentucky..Yale is our strongest OOC opponent. Justin Sears is a beast.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Any update on Stire

[Phoenix]

Game notes has Peters listed as the probable starter.

[Dane Pound]

Any update on Stire

 

Today's game stories said ankle sprain. Hopefully not the high ankle sprain variety. Those take quite a while to come back from.

[haggyland]

FYI: Sears out with the flu.

[Eli]

Guards came to play today. Evan, Ray and Cremo specifically.

[nysteve661]

Reports of UA's demise have been greatly exaggerated after that half. Great guard play and Travis up front results in a great half. Still need to put the hammer down in second half for a complete win.

[UA'08]

Yale is missing their top scorer and potential Ivy League POY, but still a great half by the guards.

[GreatDanes06]

Hooley's play is still scaring me...terrible shooting...however he is making assists and rebounds

[DanesRGood]

Hopefully everyone will calm down now. I don't care if they were missing their top scorer. Defense was excellent today and we now beat two very good teams in a row. This team is coming around.

Sears or no Sears... Today was UAlbanys day. That was a complete thumping... Wow. So many people played well. Charles and Peters amazing inside. Defense was very strong. Cremo has eyes on the back of the head, some crazy assists. Singletary and Sanders steady. Singletary got this whole thing going with 10 quick points. Yale never had a chance... When clicking this team is very very good.

 

This will he a quality win...yale much better than they showed today.

[godanesgo99]

Regardless of Hooley's shooting issues he had some great rebounds and some great passes. I am still confident he will come around.

 

Regardless of Yale missing their best player, UA has its best player in an extended funk and a starter out with injury. This team is coming around.
