  1.  

     

    Terrific. A three-point shooter is exactly what the team needs.

    I couldn't agree more that the team needs some shooters, but she is listed at 6'1", and a forward... Where are the 5'8"-5'9" shooting guards?

     

    She could play the 3, let the guards drive and kick to her.

     

    I guess I am just worried about her quickness. Other than Shereesa how many fast 6-footers does women's basketball (particularly at this level) produce?

  2. I am not going to try to explain this (too much) to the less degenerative types, but there are gambling lines for the women's game today!

     

    Money Line: (Straight up, who wins.)

    UAlbany -110 (Bet $110 to win $100)

    UPenn -120 (Bet $120 to win $100, making UPenn a very slight (in gambling terms, the slightest, actually) favorite.

     

    Point spreads: (Only two that I could find.)

    UPenn -1.5: +155

    UAlbany +1.5: -185

     

    Over/Under (for combined number of goals scored): 18.5

     

    If I could have gotten UAlbany with the -1.5 instead of the +1.5, I would have jumped on it!

  3. In what hardly counts as news any more, the men won their eleventh straight America East outdoor championship, and the women won their seventh.

     

    I sat in the old football bleachers for a couple of hours on Saturday after the men's lacrosse championship game, and I must say that although University Field did not provide a very good vantage point for football, it did for track and field. If I focused just hard enough I could still picture the gridiron action.

  4.  

    Team heading to Entrada, Snow Canyon CC, St. George Utah for the NCAA regionals May 7-9. Only four other teams from east of the Mississippi (UVA, Vanderbilt, Middle Tenn., and Miami (FL) among the 18 schools. Six teams plus three other individuals advance to the Bradenton, FL finals on May 22.

    St. George, Utah is a really nice place to spend a weekend. I hope they get some extra time there.

     

    Zion!

  5. It looks like this could be the beginning of another UAlbany run of championships. They graduate one senior (who didn't tee off in the championships, and who I think graduated in the fall), and their only signed recruit for next year averaged a 76 last year in high school.

     

    With the overall MAAC (blech!) champion being a freshman from UA, that's one more program in good shape... In such good shape I won't even take a potshot at the status of the baseball program!

  6. Wasn't Carl Ross kicked off the team?

    Edit: I thought he was arrested etc., and coach decided not to renew his scholly as a result?

     

    I wasn't filtering out players based upon why they left; I was trying to capture all those that did.

     

    I didn't think he was arrested. I think he didn't want to put the time in over the summer to get better.

    Most of the recent departures are updated, but the power conferences are definitely not looting us for talent.

  8. Question? I can not remember a single player transferring out of UA and being an impact player at the same level or higher? Raffa possibly, but I do not think his new team went ncaa at all? So you historians out there; who if anyone transferred out of UA and subsequently played in the show??

     

    I was thinking about this earlier, and the only example I could think of was Logan Aronhalt going to Maryland, but that was for his last year while he got his Master's degree.

  9. Where did you see McKay is transferring? Can you clarify what you mean by post 27? Perhaps I'm just getting senile lol

    Yeah, no, the senility is on my end. As DP has so graciously pointed out it is indeed Twyman and not McKay.

     

    I think my brain like to rearrange letters so I somehow came up with McKay in my head...but whatever!

  10. There are injuries at the faceoff position.

     

    What is it 2-30 on faceoffs? We'd never beat anyone with that stat.

    Well, maybe Lowell.

    The faceoff situation got so bad that the rather large UA contingent gave a mock cheer very late in the game when UAlbany won what was likely their first faceoff of the second half... Which was likely against Syracuse's third team face-off specialist.
