vs. Maine (Sunday 2pm) -- Coaches Cure CF Game

[MRSGDG]

Sunday is the annual Coaches Cure CF game http://www.coachescurecf.org/. Players will be wearing CF t-shirts during their warmups and the coaching staffs will be wearing sweat suits to raise awareness. There will be a pre-game ceremony on the court before tip off.

 

Maine is 5-16 and 1-5 in conference. Their one conference win was against UM Lowell.

Can't wait for the inevitable tweets about the coaches not wearing suits by people who have no idea about the reason for it. Great way to raise awareness.

[Dane96]

Defense has been very good. Not that Maine is good...but we have been very defensively active. Love it.

[uofalbany]

Another stony brook type of game.

Missed the first half because I totally forgot about the game but ended up catching the 2nd half on ESPN3. Man, I love that all of our AE games on ESPN3. Such a nice thing lol.

 

Team is starting to show some moxy. Got smoked in the first part of the 2nd half but rebounded to blow em out. Good work. Nichols is beastin. Charles and Campbells are perfect complements.

When was the last time we had an alley-oop, let alone two?

 

Another block for Dikembe Ennema. He has 12 of the team's 32.

 

Attendance 2513 at our first weekend home game in five weeks (of course two of the weekends were Xmas and New Year)

Grayson asked to not be put in the game at the end. Felt uncomfortable according to Wilkins

Some more info on it:

 

The only player on @UAlbany_MBB who dressed and didn't play was jr. guard Marqueese Grayson. That was player's call, said @UAHOOPSWB

 

.@UAHOOPSWB said Grayson told him he feld uncomfortable when he went in at the end of Danes' lopsided win vs. Binghamton.

 

Asked the coach if he could not be put in at the end of game if it was out of hand. @UAHOOPSWB granted him this

 

"(Grayson) went from playing 20-30 minutes to 0 minutes and he was upset with it. I understand," @UAHOOPSWB said.

 

Grayson started the first 18 games and was removed from lineup in favor of Davonte Campbell. Grayson also fell out of the rotation.

 

"(Grayson) was not happy with how he was playing," @UAHOOPSWB said. "But he understands. My job is to put us in right position to win."

 

.@UAHOOPSWB said that Grayson still playing hard in practice. Trying to get back into rotation. Grayson not in doghouse, so says @UAHOOPSWB

I'm calling it now...he won't be here next year if he continues to sit.

[Clickclack]

I'm calling it now...he won't be here next year if he continues to sit.

Why... He didn't produce. Kid had every opportunity.

I'm calling it now...he won't be here next year if he continues to sit.

Why... He didn't produce. Kid had every opportunity.

That's exactly why. He will go somewhere he will get playing time...like D2. He got used to getting time and doesn't even want garbage time now. This screams someone who doesn't want to be a role player and if he can't be a starter at D1 he might just go be a starter at D2 or at least low level D1.

 

I dunno, but if there was one guy in this roster who I think might leave its him. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[Dane Pound]

First three game winning streak of the season. Take it.

 

Nichols is on another planet right now.

 

Positive signs from both Campbell and Costa Anderson. Both are looking a little more assertive, like they have the coaches trust now. Anderson - 5 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals in 11 minutes is nice production from the back-up PG spot. I've hoped for a third scorer behind Cremo and Nichols, we're getting a third and fourth scorer right now in Campbell and Travis Charles.

 

Hopefully we got that 10 minute, turnover-filled, non-scoring lapse out of our system today. We can get a way with that against Maine but not against Vermont.
