I joined late in the first half and then again just before Nichols tied it. Second half was excruciating but good fire and effort. Solid D. Stire used to dunk all the time when he was an underclassman so it was nice to see another flush. The sad truth is that this team, on any given night, is good enough to beat any team in the AE and bad enough to lose to any team in the league. Truly Jeckyl and Hyde. So I don’t get too high or low. Just watch the game and enjoy.

Truer words never spoken before about this team.

 

From now on, it's a beer in hand...and enjoy the roller coaster.

At a function so I will watch reply. Wife yelling at me when I tried to watch on the app. Did check posts on board and sounded like a disaster till 2nd half. Did notice the bench was 1 for 9 and 5 TO's. Back in the day, you could bring up some guys from the JV in the D3 days. Wish we had that option.

We had company and I missed most of the first half. What happened that caused coach to bench Nichols? Just lackadaisical play? He said he wanted to send a message.

 

Bench production is beyond pathetic. Over 40 minutes and 2 points?? No wonder they don’t usually get much time.

It was re-tweeted by Zak, I believe from Jeffery Bernstein.

 

He also tweeted his re-watch (Zak).

 

There was a series where Nichols got blown by on a layup...then UA had a turnover and he failed to get back. Brown sat him.

 

According to the tweet, at halftime Brown asked Nichols if he wanted to play and his reply was, "Yup".

 

Again, all according to Tweets...can't confirm the accuracy...but re-watching the game, looks pretty accurate as to the series.

Glad I didnt stop watching when Click pronounced the game over ... ninety minutes ago

Haha! I thought what he thought but they turned it around.

 

I think Brown benching David in the first half was big. We need him to get it together. He did in the second half. Only one time did he try and force the issue.

 

Good road win!

Sometimes some players need a big swift kick in the ass to straighten the ship

Team started out sleepwalking for the first 10-15 minutes or so..like we've seen too many times this season. Closed out the first half with some better effort..and then really battled in the second half. Played well down the stretch. Game wasn't pretty..but was kind of similar to many UAlbany-type teams we're seen under Coach Brown over the years.

 

Believe it or not..KenPom now was our defense ranked about as efficient as our offense. Part of that has been offensive struggles over the past 6 weeks or so..but the defense has certainly picked it up since around the Siena and Memphis games. They've allowed at or below 1 point per possession in 6 of the past 8 games..and 9 of the past 14. Only did it once in the first 10 games.
