Is Lehigh where students' racist comments taunted Levi Levine into a technical? or was that Bucknell, pretty sure it was a Patriot League school.

Albany never played at Bucknell during Levine's four years. Bucknell has never had any of that sort of incident with any team.

Levine got his technicals at Lehigh, on a night where they had a "crowd" of less than 400 people and a student turnout of perhaps 25. If there was any racist comments, that would be surprising - both because all of Lehigh's star players were black and also because I've been to many games at Lehigh and never seen anything like that at all. Lehigh rarely gets any students at all to show up for their games.

Pregame story in today's Gazette - Danes try to catch their breath, bounce back.

Sounds like Lehigh was missing some key players their last two games which might explain their meltdown against the Seawolves. Those guys will be back tonight. Funny that people (America Least for example) have been talking about how weak our schedule is. Lehigh was picked second in the Patriot League.

Lehigh has had one decent player - center Phil Anderson - miss the last two games. They also had an OK guard, walk-on Dave Buchberger, miss one game. Everyone else - including their three best players - has played every game all year.

I doubt that the SB meltdown was due to missing players since Lehigh still had their top three players and both of their PG's. More likely it was just bad play by Lehigh and/or good play by SB.

I understand that Bryant helps with that argument but we've played the #2 pick in the Ivy (Penn) the #4 pick in the NEC (CCSU who is playing better) the #1 pick in the MAAC (Siena) and now Lehigh. On yeah, plus Depaul and Villanova.

And Kansas.

Lehigh's about 3+ hrs. from Albany, west on I-78 from I -287, just over the Jersey line. I've only been there for our football game.

What exactly was said.... and what was the reaction?
Was anyone there or saw the game online?

Maybe the $iena game served as a bonding moment for the team. Times like those brings peaple together.
Maybe instead of any 'letdown', we will blow the doors off of Lehigh, as a sign of new brotherhood.

looks like some have SUNY as a 2 to 3 pt underdog at this point.

7 minutes 'till the game stars and there is NO ONE there!

[danes05]

only about 100 people there according to singlesias

[Dane Pound]

Quite a contrast. Go from 13,000 plus to maybe 1300? or maybe 130?

Albany looks good....rough start but staring to crank up the D and finding the range from the outside.

We have a nice pep in our step tonight....so far no evidence of the Siena hang over.
