UA vs. Binghamton

[I rock(ed) the Cape]

I know it's only Tuesday, but I just can't wait for this game. This is when the real season begins, and it should be interesting to see if the team can carry their momentum from the past 2 games over to this one. I'm most curious to see if Billy Allen can bring his hot touch over to conference play.

Don't know if who they've picked up from their late tryouts, but Bing just had a walkon freshman guard, a 6-5 scholly freshman, and Lukusa to bring the ball up. They list a couple other guards on the roster, but the press Albany used against Yale should be wheeled out early on Thursday.

Just win. No excuses.

I hope w/ Billy the expectations don't go to high to fast. I know I think he should now shoot 75% from 3. Realistically, I'd love to see him hit in the 35+% range from three and continue to shoot it without hesitation.

This is a scarrey game. Bing has lost a lot but they have reloaded quickly. I saw them twice on TV against very good opponents and they did very, very well--winning one and losing one. I hope we don't underestimate them--they are not going to finish at the bottom of the league.

Against which opponents? Pitt? They chewed em up and spit them out. You can't possibly be serious? This is exactly what I meant by no excuses. This should not be a scary game they have friggin 7 scholarship players. This should be a 15-20 point win.

I'm sorry...this HAS to be a win at home against Bing...anything less will be a HUGE disappointment.

I'm with you. In recent games, Bing has done quite well. This game won't be a runaway. If it is, I hope we're on the forward end.

Bing just beat LaSalle, who's ranked way higher than anybody in America East.

Regardless of who they have beat, I'm still siding with the thought of anything less than a W in this game is UNACCEPTABLE. We are playing a team with a rookie coach, with only 7 scholarship players. Just because they have snuck up on a few teams OOC does not make it ok for them to beat a team picked to finish in the top 3 in the conference, especially with the talent that we possess. Anything other than a W on Thursday will be met with immense frustration from me.

[UA'08]

LaSalle????? Because Binghamton beat LaSalle at home we should be scared of them?

 

Once again 7 scholarship players and a coach that has been on the job for 2 months.

I didn't say we should be scared of them, it just means they're capable of a good performance and you shouldn't be jumping off a bridge if we don't win by 20.

[Clickclack]

Just win the game...don't matter if it's by 1 or 20.

uhhhh........did Coach Brown just say that this is the dumbest team he's ever had?

We’re trying to simplify things with this team,” Brown said. “This team in particular of any team that I’ve had, we’ve really had to try to simplify some things in what we’re trying to do and different schemes, from scouting reports to what we’re doing.

That's what I thought when I read that!
