Big Purple Growl 2/7 Lowell

[Eli]

I don't remember that...from what I remember they were on UNH's side of the floor about to go back on offense. He didn't take him out right after Baker hit the FT's...Baker played that defensive possession, there was a foul, UNH guy went to the line, and Dallas came in. If it was right after Baker made FT's, I'd understand that...but this is why I'm not sure why he was taken out because we were about to get the ball if I remember correctly.

FWIW, this is also my recollection of the events.

I remember it the same...doesn't matter but it was a curious decision.

[Eli]

Yeah, I'm just curious. Baker seems to be one of our best offensive talents in the sense that he can create his own shot. We won the game so...good move coach! lol

Unfortunately the stat sheets seem to be missing a few plays in the last minute and can't resolve this

My 2 cents. He took him out while UNH was shooting FT's. Assuming for rebounding purposes. Possibly thought they were going to make one and intentionally miss one and wanted the rebounding? I'm not sure if he intended to call a TO (we didn't have one) and put him back in but I would have preferred he was in there for the inbound play after they made the FT.

Just watched the replay on ESPN3:

 

Baker hit the 2 FT, Albany called TO (no substitutions), Baker fouled UNH upon inbounding (3.1 secs), UNH hit first FT, Baker subbed out for M. Rowley, UNH hit second FT, Albany knocks out their inbound (0.9 secs, revised to 1.2 secs), Dallas subbed out for Peters, UNH misses last second shot.

[Eli]

Ahh okay. So it likely was rebounding. Gotcha. Thanks folks.

I've noticed we're advertising for tickets for the Stony Brook game on Feb. 17th and not the UML game tomorrow night. I'm hoping that's a good sign for the BPG.

Are they expecting a sellout for tomorrow?

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Just saw a tweet that said 500 tix still available. So it will be at least over 4k. Im assuming 500 person walkup is likely?

[UAalum72]

BPG has not been under 4000 since 2004. Only if the snow is worse than now predicted will the crowd be under that.
