@Lowell 1/5

[Dane Pound]

An ESPN3 game.

 

Lowell had a decent home win against Boston U. a couple of games ago and then beat Cornell on the road in overtime. They aren't a great rebounding team and hopefully this is the game we get Lands back.

Aren't all league games on ESPN3 now?

 

From TU+ Lowell has one starter 6'6" and nobody else over 6'4" http://www.timesunion.com/tuplus-sports/article/UAlbany-men-s-basketball-opens-league-season-on-10835875.php

 

"Brown said that he does plan to use 6-7, 245-pound forward Jaraan Lands, who has missed all but the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury. Lands, who was not made available to the media after practice on Wednesday, will not be allowed to play more than 10 minutes against UMass Lowell. Brown said that edict came from the Danes' team doctor.

Brown said that he plans to use Lands at some point on Thursday.

"If I am going to use him, I am going to use him early," Brown said. "Maybe try to get two, three minute spurts from him. Yes, I will throw him out there for a little bit for sure. I want to see how he is feeling with the understanding that I have no expectations for him."

Brown said his long-range goal for Lands is for him to be playing a consistent 15-20 minutes per night two weeks from now."

Is he limited to 10 min because the hamstring is still weak or because of his conditioning? I wouldn't want him out there at all until that hamstring is 100%.

Yes, all remaining games, by virtue of being AE, are on ESPN3. Which is excellent. I can watch tonights game at midnight when I get back from being out without having to rush home or worry. Awesome.

[Clickclack]

Yeah, the games being on E3 is seriously a huge win for the AE. Amy deserves a ton of credit for this.

Rodger, Zach and Wilkin were at ATSP before heading to Lowell. Didn't know for sure, but assume it's conditioning, because a hamstring rarely gets more flexible after it's been pulled.

So far UML looking pretty good. Eventually those threes will stop falling......right?

[jalidanefan]

how's the crowd?

[uofalbany]

Rowley just put his head down, never even looked to see if there was a defender in his path

[UAalum72]

how's the crowd?

Costello's a very small gym, but it still looks (and sounds) pretty sparse.

 

Up one at the half.

[UA1882]

My question is why are we not playing a 3-2 zone... We are getting badly beaten off the dribble and off the screens (going under). Playing zone would eliminate that. Plus we are bigger sooo the rebounding in the zone should not be a problem. Why?

[UAalum72]

We're shooting 65% and outrebounding them 12-9, but only up one. They're 6-13 from 3, we're 4-8

[Clickclack]

Time after time off screens uml kids wide open. Absolutely have to fight over screens and stay in shooters. This has to be a conscious choice...

[Clickclack]

Upsetting to watch this team try to defend... I mean kid standing all alone in the corner... No one on him and he drills it. I think he alone already has 3 or 4 threes.

[UA1882]

A Zone would stop that .
