DP, can you move my posts out of the women's thread into this one? Totally didn't realize which thread I was posting in lol.

 

I was wondering why I was the only one posting ???

I was chowing down on hibachi with the wife and friends and keeping up on live stats whilst wandering the mall. Sounds like a good win, solid D on the arc and a Cremo explosion. Put a check mark in the W column and prime the pumps for the Cats.

Nice win. Offense was great in the Last 10 minutes. We were down 53-50 in think. Crowd was good but not electric. Really need to figure out a way to get people in the seats on a consistent basis.

 

On to the next game. They are all big from here.

Fun environment and I'll take the win. UNH isn't a great matchup for us. Camara looks like a first time all AE player against us. Had they shot anything from 3 it would have been a tight finish.

 

All five starters played really well. Two points, two rebounds, two blocks, and one assist combined total from the bench. It is what it is at this point in the year.

 

Terrific games by Nichols and Cremo.

 

Did it look like Leissner threw a punch at Charles in the second half when he got injured? I was a little surprised they didn't review it.

 

On second look, it wasn't a punch. In live action it looked like it but not on replay.

Around 3900 at the game today. Not very impressive when in the past we have sold out. Students did not look into it at all.

 

I have written this before but Benson has been here a little while now and I really expected more given what he did at Old D. I have no inside information so does anyone know his 5 year plan? Disappointed at the crowd tonight and pretty much all season for basketball and football.

Things that stood out:

  • We got back to living at the line as we have in a lot of our games and is usually our MO. When we don't attack and get the line, we don't have the outside shooting to win.
  • This is the first game all year that someone matches us on the boards. Usually we crush teams on the boards. Rarely we get out rebounded.
  • Low TO count also helped keep our offense in rhythm. This was tied for 2nd lowest amount of turnovers all season (7x2, 8x2 including today - we've won all four games).
  • In the majority of our wins, we shoot 50% or better from the floor. In all of our losses, we shoot at or below 40%.

Around 3900 at the game today. Not very impressive when in the past we have sold out. Students did not look into it at all.

 

I have written this before but Benson has been here a little while now and I really expected more given what he did at Old D. I have no inside information so does anyone know his 5 year plan? Disappointed at the crowd tonight and pretty much all season for basketball and football.

 

$20 for each ticket..on a bench. Plus $10 for parking in the Dutch Lot. For a family of four..that's nearly $100 to sit in less than comfortable seats. Add in some refreshments..and it's well over the century mark for a night out. Think of it what you may..but the top goal is clearly not to get the attendance numbers as high as possible.

Did it look like Leissner threw a punch at Charles in the second half when he got injured? I was a little surprised they didn't review it.

 

On second look, it wasn't a punch. In live action it looked like it but not on replay.

 

That was an odd sequence. Bit of a delayed whistle for the initial foul. Then Brown gets T'd up by the official on the opposite sideline. Thought that meant they called the foul on us (leading to Brown getting frustrated). But they did in fact call the foul on UNH. So I wonder what the T was for. And was somewhat surprised they didn't really review the play that much..given that it seemed like Charles was hit in the face..unintentional or not.

Cut it in half, and lose $50 in revenue for every family of 4 or $12.50/head. After free tickets for students and season ticket holders, say it affects 1,500 tickets last night, but gets them to sell the 750 seats that went unsold last night. That's about $10,000 in lost revenue. Make that trend identical for every game (cut revenue in half on ticket sales to add 750 fans in attendance) and you end up losing the program over $150k for the whole season. That's a couple of employees of the program or a big hit to the marketing budget.

 

$25/person per game is still an incredible deal. What does it cost to go to a movie today before snacks? I think a 3D Imax movie is like $19/ticket at Crossgates. Guess what, they still sell out the theater for blockbuster movies. The lines for Star Wars on release date show that.

 

We can complain about inflation all day and how it hurts the casual fan and stops them from attending, but in the end of the day it's all about the product on the court. If this team was 9-1 in conference right now and 21-4 overall, it would have sold out last night - even if the price per ticket was higher.

 

I'd rather they maximize profits right now to put back into facilities, recruiting, and staffing to ensure the team gets better each and every year. If you win it, they will come. If you suck, we have an empty gym if the tickets are $5 each.

 

We are still way cheaper than $iena games. It's one of the best values around.

 

I get that times are tough and it can be hard to justify $100 for a family of four to attend today, but being profitable and winning will build the fan base much faster in my opinion.

I think that CB was complaining why the official under the hoop hadn't blown his whistle when it occurred in the area he was responsible for and it was a blatant foul and possible intentional foul. The official on the baseline is suppose to be looking at action in and around the basket.

That play happens with 12:00 left in the second half. I just watched it again a few more times. The ESPN feed doesn't show what happened before the elbow to the face, but I'm scratching my head as to where there was a foul on Conway with what you do see.

 

Also, maybe I am ignorant on some basketball rules, but why did UA get the ball under their own basket after the foul shots?

 

Armstrong gets the rebound, and is fouled on the play by Conway (according the refs) then Brown gets the Technical. Leissner shoots the free throws, then Albany gets the ball back under their own basket. Campbell in bounds to Cremo who hits a baseline floater.

 

Shouldn't it have been UNH ball after the T? I guess the foul on Conway may have been before the rebound and considered a loose ball foul? Even so, a foul on UA there gives UNH the ball, then the T gives them the extra free throws.

 

I'm confused. Does the T and foul shots automatically give the ball back to Albany? If that is the case, shouldn't the inbound have been from mid court?

I'd rather they maximize profits right now to put back into facilities, recruiting, and staffing to ensure the team gets better each and every year. If you win it, they will come. If you suck, we have an empty gym if the tickets are $5 each.

 

We are still way cheaper than $iena games. It's one of the best values around.

 

I get that times are tough and it can be hard to justify $100 for a family of four to attend today, but being profitable and winning will build the fan base much faster in my opinion.

Nice post and if that's true I agree. However we have only seen modest yearly improvements , unless u count donations , to the Sefcu. Being a public institution I wonder if we could ask for a breakdown of what they do with the money ??

 

Also the 10 year naming deal appeared to be signed Nov 2006. It's a little interesting we have heard nothing about that because one would think we would use that money in part for some major renovations.

 

The only part of your post I disagree with is that if our record was better people would come. In the past I can guarantee we had a worse record then 18-7 and sold out that game .
