Game #32: 3/7/2020 @ 7PM- AE Quarterfinal @ Stony Brook

[UA1882]

Everything I wanted in this game I got. I wanted it to be competitive and I wanted Healy to have a good game. Onto next year. Let's see who we can get. 

[Eli]

What a way to lose. Season comes to a screeching halt. Healey not the focus of the last few possessions is mind boggling. Every man should have been trying to get him open and get him the ball. Instead Clark was doing Clark things.

[jimbo]

Well, an exciting game...better than expected. Put a cork in the season....

[Eli]

Thank God I never have to see Clark wear a UAlbany uniform again.

 

[Eli]

Final stats for the year...some of our averages are astounding considering our program history/pedigree. Coaching? I guess we'll see this summer...

Served a purpose at times but way to turnover prone and just inability to make simple play. I respect his love for the game , his effort, and his excellent scoring season. Reminds me a lot of david nichols.

Fair enough. To me it doesn't outweigh the negatives but we all have our opinion.

As for the Nichols comparison, glad I'm not the only one. You're somewhat new here, but I called him Nichols 2.0 as starting last season. To me they are the same player. All the talent in the world, but sometimes get into their head and/or want to be The Man too much and it ends up being a detriment to the overall cohesiveness of the team.

Both are officially gone now...so we can move on. Hopefully Amica is more Black/Singletary/Evans.

[Clickclack]

Bitter sweet end... This mess finally ends but what I wouldn't give to have another meaningful game. 

Healy went out swinging... Rizzuto also played well as did Hansen. Desperately need wings and bigs. This game for me was a death knell for the career of our staring wing most of the year. This ain't it chief...time to find a new wing or two. Biggest game of the year... Goose eggs all across... Didn't even attempt a shot. Weak! 

Gonna be an interesting March and April, hopefully they used up all the injuries this year and the universe won't have any more to give next year to this team. 

[Dane Pound]

Not much point in arguing about Clark anymore. Yes, he often tried to do too much and yes he often made shaky decisions but watching him all year, he competed harder than any player in recent memory.

If we had another PG to move him off the ball it would have been a different story but this whole season has been one if.

Great to see Cam Healy look like Cam Healy.

Truth... Hate Clark all you want. Can't blame the kid for his effort and being miscast as a PG. 

 

I'll miss his heart and how hard he played. Don't @ me!

Cant knock his hustle or desire to make flashy  plays and get himself some buckets! Looking forward to going back to team basketball, ball movement, less turnovers. Hes a talented player and seems like nice kid. Has basketball iq of someone whose never played in their life.

They/we will be put out of their misery on Saturday. According to ESPN prediction we have a 13.9% of an upset. Yeah...don't bet your house on this one. 

Worth repeating how I feel:

Frustrated

Disappointment

Comments from a few days earlier.... I know that I'm going to hear it from the LCC crew at work.

Hear what? They haven't won anything yet. They had a decent regular season but they sucked for the better part of the last decade and we wiped the floor with them. One good year doesn't give them bragging rights back.

Watched the game with sound off. Besides hating brook announcers; I felt I could call my own play-by-play. Good start, went cold, nice play by Clark, bad play by Clark, Rizzutto hits 3 in a row, Rizzutto misses 3 in a row, UA misses lay-up, brook dunks, brook blocks shot, brook gets offensive rebound, UA gets offensive rebound, UA gets shot blocked or travels or loses ball off their finger tips, Healy GETS HOT too little too late, UA loses by 3 when heave on the buzzer rims out. I swear from the first tip to the last minute I kept calling out to my wife UA would lose by 3. You all know I'm NOT a basketball genius; but anyone who has watched this team all year could have easily predicted how this game would transpire. Ever the UA optimist, I HOPED for a better result; but it is what it is. 

For those that follow, see you on the LAX thread; ALL others HAVE A GREAT SUMMER. Hope Will is on the recruit trail this AM, not that he does not deserve a day or so off, BUT.
