Would love to have that seat...lol

Watching the highlights...that pass from Black to Johnson after the steal for the dunk was suhweet.
-
We've won there before, hopefully we can pull off another upset.
-
YES! I just got home from Pennsylvania to watch the last 40 seconds. So worth that speeding ticket I got on the way home ahahahah (true story). Can someone tell me why the game is in Vermont though? Why isn't the whole tournament in Albany?

Regarding media, I tend to be at a local area dunkin donuts 2-3 times a week around 10pm and YNN is ALWAYS showing something about UA Hoops. I've caught segments like 7-8 times already.

College Basketball "is brutal to watch right now"
Eli replied to dslyank's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
No offense to you guys who played ball...but PEOPLE are different today. Meaning, back in the time when you guys played...guys were smaller (not shorter - smaller). Guys are JACKED now. And they keep getting bigger in order to beat off the next guy who's just as big or bigger. Based on the videos and images I've seen of the game in the 70's and 80's (not sure when you guys played - but I'm guessing you weren't the 90's or 2000's)...guys were tiny back then compared to today. This is why I hate it when NBA fans talk like Russell or Wilt are the greatest centers ever. Those guys would be like Dwight Howard in today's NBA. The game was not as physical back then. Shaq/Ewing/Hakeem, etc. would have ate them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sorry for the NBA tangent, just using it to show my point. Same thing in NFL. Guys are bigger, faster, stronger. It's the evolution of the game. No better example than Lebron. If Lebron did Back to the Future and played in the 70's, the size he is today, he'd average 50/20/10. He's already unstoppable, he would be God on the court in that era. I admit I'm a much bigger NBA fan than college/UA fan. -
We've been trying to give our TV away for like 3 seasons

What a disaster. We officially suck against the top teams in the conference and we will not be dancin this year. WHY IS BROWN STILL PLAYING IATI. He has been figured out 100% and is USELESS now. Glad he finally played Johnson some decent minutes, kid looked good and will only get better. He needs to replace Iati with Page. Iati and Black have both been scouted and figured out. They are no longer factors in the last 4-5 games. I too will not be attending the rest of the regular season games. I'll be there for the tourney, but I'm done with the regular season. Thank God I'm a Miami Heat fan and can actually enjoy their games.

Forgot Vermont is this weekend. Won't be able to attend that game...hopefully UA takes care of business though.
-
You know who won't be studying? THIS GUY. lol.
-
Rowley has been a revelation since he'd moved to the starting lineup. Every team needs a guy l like that, and for a while we didn't have that toughness. Love this kid. And Hooley? What else needs to be said. This kid looks like he is NEVER flustered. He's as even keel as they come and always has his head in the game. Can't wait till the next home game. Also, we beat them by 10 even when Black was 1-13. He won't be that bad most games, so it's nice to see he had backup.
-
1) Did not hit rim - should have been our ball with a LOT of time on the clock and the game tied. 2) Did anyone else think that Rugby tackle of one of our players (Hooley?) a minute or two earlier that wasn't called was also BS? Should have been 2 FT's. Refs took this game from us, yes, but we allowed them to by not rebounding all night.
-
Way to go!
-
Regardless of what's goin on, speaking as a student, the problem lies in that there isn't sports related posters/flyers plastered all over the school. Meaning, there is no school spirit. If they would put up visual representation of our athletic programs ALL OVER THE PLACE, we'd see a bigger turn out. Basic marketing...the more you see something, typically speaking, the more you want it.
-
Gotta admit I'm very surprised. I was convinced that after losing Aronhalt and Suero, we'd be hurting offensively. Hooley has been a revelation. So poised, smart, and athletic. Evans has been nice too...never seems flustered. And of course Iati, coming outa no where to become UAlbany's version of Ray Allen...if Mark Jackson was in the building, he'd be sayin, "Hand down, man down" quite a bit.
-
I will admit it is bad. I just feel like Wilkin is just snide about it. I'm going to start heckling this guy at random moments of games.
-
I agree that some students won't come out but the regulars will be there. I just wished the student section was packed every game, it would give a SEFCU a nice home court advantage. The games are fun to go to and they are something to do and hang out with friends after a day of sitting in a LC or classroom. I just wish more students would go. Agreed.
-
This is the week before finals week...so I'm sure some students won't come out. I'll be coming right after my class (hope it ends early lol) though...wish more students loved the game (not just the team) as much as this guy.

UA/Siena Game Future if No Changes
Eli replied to MRSGDG's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
This. With the stadium, football playing better competition...it's going to bring in hopefully better football recruits. This will help put Albany on a bigger stage. This will, IMO, trickle down to the other teams to an extent as Albany makes a name for itself. Then, with the new nanotech facility, you're bringing in likely smarter kids and thus making Albany a better educational institution which some athletes want (to get their degrees as it's very hard to become a professional after your playing days are done). Bottom line, in a short time, Albany will be THE school within a 100 mile radius of the TUC. -
I'm a season ticket holder but I'm also a student. They've started to email students about upcoming games (got one about Wagner) but yeah, there is hardly anything anywhere on campus about games, etc.

Wasn't he a walk-on at one point too? Or rather, paid his own way? Dude went from the end of the bench to being one of our best players lol.

Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off (11/17 &11/18)
Eli replied to MRSGDG's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
I wanna know where Iati has come from. Dude is vastly improved from last year. Maybe having Watts around (and playing backup PG) was hurting his development. Dude is on fire right now. -
Yeah that Evans move and step back J was sweet. I opened my eyes wide as well after that one. Kid is lightning quick too. Puk was great. Hope he continues to play that well. I love Iati, he had 3 or 4 3's...he's our teams Ray Allen.
