FSU plays at least 10 players each game and relies heavily on their bench. They are also extremely athletic.

I wish the departing players well and thank them for their service and fine representation of our school! They will be missed! As to the state of the program today, keep in mind, we finished in fourth place at 10-6, and we lost---at home---to fifth-place and 7-9 Stony Brook. There are a lot of talented high school amd JUCO players out there, as evidenced by the three teams ahead of us in the standings and the fifth-place, sub .500, team that outplayed us at SEFCU in the tournament. At best, we were the 5th most athletic team in the America East, IMHO. Having a couple extra scholarships to offer to some players might, and probably will, be a blessing in disguise. The rules in basketball, like football, seem to be reverting to the less-physical era. At one time, basketball players were thin, agile, and tall. Now they often resemble football bigs who are simply not as quick on their feet. We have been torched in recent years by quicker, more athletic teams in our league. Our perimeter defense has been an issue for years ... .

Why not just go for all money games like Texas Southern did this year? We'll take a beating, but we'll get paid.

I hope those plans are made public to the fans at some point. It is hard to raise private money if the donors (us) don't know what the money is being raised for.

The MAC is closer to the power 5 conferences than the America East is to the MAC (IMHO). If not, it is at least a comparison to ponder. The top teams in the MAC are very athletic. We did beat Kent State in December, but they still had a very athletic front court and lost some seniors going into this year if I recall correctly.

The NIT plays 4 quarters instead of two halves? 10 or 12 minutes? Interesting ... .

During the AE Title game, artists' sketches of UVM's new multi-purpose facility scheduled to open in 2020 were shown. It looks stunning. Keeping up with SB, UMBC, and UVM on the recruiting trail will be difficult as our peers all feature beautiful new facilities.

Cornell

TD Ierlan goes 24 for 24 at faceoffs, and the game is close? I am no LAX pundit, but is it not fair to say that Cornell outplayed us big time by keeping it so close despite losing all those faceoffs? -
[MBB] AE Tourney Game #1: 3/3/18 - 7:00pm - vs Stony Brook

Doesn't matter. Their season is probably over by 9:15 p.m. Tuesday night. -

UA_MA_2000 replied to Eli's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
Exactly. Our guys gave it their best. The more athletic team won. Had the refs not been so bad and our shooting not sub-40%, we would have won notwithstanding SB's athleticism. -
2018 Albany Lacrosse Schedule
UA_MA_2000 replied to slickwilly's topic in Spring Sports-Baseball, Lacrosse, Softball, Track + Golf
Rules are so different its hardly the same game. Very strict rules on contact, high sticks, something called shooting space (defender cant move in front of attacker in the shooting area) so only the goalie has a helmet. I also dont know why some face offs are side by side and some facing each other. Apologies to anyone who is a fan, but curling is a more exciting sport than women's lax. You'll also notice that the goal scorer immediately tosses their stick to the ground so that the ref can make sure it's legal. I've curled. It is an awesome sport! Is there NCAA curling ... ? -

UA_MA_2000 replied to Eli's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
I would rather play SB than UNH. UNH is perhaps the most athletic team in the AE and has a great frontcourt. UNH plays as hard as anyone too. -
[MBB] Game #29: 2/18/18 - 1:00pm - @ UMBC
UA_MA_2000 replied to Eli's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
#4 seed vs. UNH first round. Most likely at UVM second round. -
