  1. Definitely would not want to be on this team after the coaches break down the film. Next practice is going to be rough. This game was a team with solid ball movement and passing vs. a team that tries to play NBA style one on one. We had a player make a move to the hoop and the rest of the team stand around the arc. No boxing out. No communication. At least 3 steals from a Towson player coming from behind. Cold shooting. Really nothing went well. Honestly it looked like Reddish was the best player on the floor. He hit his shots, made his free throws, and had some nice passes. we were out rebounded, out shot, got doubled up on assists. If Towson makes their free throws it's a 35 point loss. Team clearly has the athletes, but they did not play as a team. I won't give up hope, but I entered the building excited, and exited it bewildered.
  2. Thought he did as well, but his name wasn't in the box score. End of the day this team is playing too much 1 on 1. Only 6 assists as a team with 12 minutes left. No distribution.
  3. Everyone has played so far except Aaron Reddish, Will Amica, and Jamel Horton. Reddish we knew was a project with his athleticism, but the other two were supposed to get significant time. Anyone know what's up? Injuries?
  4. No idea, but I'd guess if you bought them tonight there might be a delay. It shows up as a different category in the ticket account. I see a section for football tickets, football parking passes, basketball tickets, and basketball parking passes.
  5. A quick look at the site looking to buy tickets by the seat shows lots of openings, but a fairly decent crowd if the students show up in force.
  6. Looking forward to seeing what the rotation looks like. Still have another year of Horton then Little and Amica in the wings. How much time will they get now? Will DK go with the traditional 8-9 man rotation, or will he really push the tempo and go deeper? Who is going to sit? Really can't wait!
  7. Has anyone received parking passes in the mail for this game? It appears that I have them in my ticket account, but I haven't received anything at home. Not sure if we show the parking people the item in our phones instead of the rearview mirror hanger?
  8. all-around you might be right, but when looking at the roster there is no traditional division 1 center. No one at 6'10" or higher. Don't think that matters that much as we have size top to bottom.
  9. Install the duck duck go browser on your phone. You can clear your history and cookies and it will reset your views of a site. I mean we should support the local media and help them stay in business with paying for their services, but the paywall article issue is a non-issue if you use that browser. As far as the team goes: I went the first home game of the year and traveled to Syracuse to see them in the dome, but have not used my season tickets since. I have great seats and a SEFCU parking pass and I can't find anyone to GIVE them to, much less try to get a few bucks for them. I have lost all interest in the team. I was never a football guy to start with, but definitely had fun going to the game with family and/or friends. Now it feels like an utter waste of money.
  10. Very detailed conference preview: https://www.three-man-weave.com/3mw/america-east-2022-preview
  11. Greatest sports moment of pretty much all of our lives that were there. I was going through all photos and cell phone videos a few months ago and found one of my kids dancing on the floor and at one point I planned over to the sea of red just standing there in disbelief. Such a great memory that will live on forever.
  12. His last contract was coming off 3 straight NCAA Tournament appearances and a freak upset loss in the AE tournament at the hands of a ridiculously hot shooting Pancake. Not sure there was any reason to "tear the band-aid off" sooner. I mean this contract had an almost upset win in the AE tournament in Burlington, then was derailed by the transfer of the two big stars at the same time and the scramble to rebuild from that. To me it was a victim of circumstance. Now making a move feels right at this time as the program needed a refresh for the local fans and new world of athletics, but pretty much everyone was onboard with a contract for life for WB when the last negotiations happened.
  13. Can't make it tonight, but I'm a fan of Mixed Breed and wish I could go. Hopefully someone that attends can post some info after the event.
  14. https://www.basketballarticles.com/america-east-college-basketball-preview/ Absolutely love that just about everyone has Albany near the bottom to start the year. This allows them to have low expectations and won't make the fans down on the team when they have a slow start with a real strong OOC schedule. This will allow them to gel as a team and grow together without much pressure. I know I have higher expectations for this season, but I wear purple and Gold glasses. The Bart Torvik site has UA third in the league with the highest "talent" points and second highest "transfer" points, but at the end of the day it is impossible to predict what this year's squad will do with so many new faces. Can't wait to get back into SEFCU so I can cheer for Rizzuto before watching UA blowout Towson. Season is almost here!
  15. I made it for the second half. Probably a couple hundred people in the stands watching. Team looked a little rough but very athletic. I've left feeling much stronger about teams in the past, but this team definitely felt much faster than we are used to seeing. I think I was most impressed my Little. Amica didn't play. Hutch looked good on D and grabbing rebounds but didn't shoot well. Shafer hurt his ankle at one point. Reddish has ups, but is still raw. Cerutti can shoot. Neely has some nice hands. Perry was unstoppable. That's really all I remember.
  16. Interesting. Team already had two walk-ons I thought. Maybe looking for additional practice players?
  17. My son's little league game got rescheduled for 10am, not sure if I'll make the scrimmage or not now. Really pissed me off. Hope the rain comes earlier and the game is cancelled.
  18. I am going to doubt that SEFCU lot will be available for $20. With there being a home football game starting at 3:30, the SEFCU lot will probably be closed for only football season ticket holders with a pass. Maybe I missed them announcing that the lot will be open because they anticipate low football attendance, but I doubt it will be open for parking if your don't already have a pass. I think @cwdickens was just guessing at what the price will be.
