. In this environment, a player might get pushed, and might hit the locker. I have absolutely no problem with this - even if it was my son. I would be mad at a coach that didn't do these things. It is his job to fire up the players and get the most out of them.

You'd be mad if a coach didn't shove your son? Wtf is wrong with you? You've got some serious issues, dude

Maybe dropping a significant number of donors might make a difference.

Doubt it. They'll just raise the cost to park for everyone else

I fully agree, and assume that the people rallying would also agree, that if he struck a player that he needs to go. I apologize if that wasn't clear (one of the pitfalls of trying to board on my phone in between things at work), but I think that there needs to be accountability at all levels here if what the rumor mill has said is true. If DK is being treated as the sacrificial lamb when there may have been unethical things done at all levels in the program, that's not justice. That's cowardice and people scrambling to save their six figure jobs and reputations.

Everyone's reactions to this latest wrinkle says more about them than the leaders who are rallying. I don't think that there's any indication that they're excusing the physical altercation that was reported, but you're kidding yourself if you think that a first time coach, especially if he's Black, is going to receive the same level of due process as a fifteen year veteran white coach. There's a two tiered system of justice in this country whether it is criminal or part of an internal HR investigation.

Frankly, it is either naive or willfully ignorant to think that DK isn't more likely to be thrown to the wolves to save the jobs of the folks in the athletic department who seem to have committed the more grave sin of covering up whatever incident may have happened.

LOL what a mess

Also I don't see Neeley on the bunch. 

When I saw Reddish check in, I scanned the bench figuring that must be the case. Probably out with COVID

Looking better in these second ten minutes, so far. Neely has been the difference maker

Maybe it is just me, but I'm feeling that there's almost no chance this game actually happens

Right? What's he doing? Aiming for ANOTHER Rookie of the Week award?

Missed the first few minutes, did Champion get the start over Horton?

Stream just went down for me. Anyone else?

I think it’s just audio 

If anyone else has an issue, it looks like if you click the option called "Men's Basketball vs Albany" rather than the one that just says "vs University at Albany" that you can get video

Is today's game going to be streaming or is it a radio only affair?

Edit: Digging a little, it seems like there may be video here -https://purpleeagles.com/watch/?Live=1463&type=Live 

Don't blame me if the link doesn't work!

Imagine getting fired for not taking a flu shot. 

You may not get fired for it, but you are often forced to walk around with the equivalent of a dunce cap. I briefly worked at a hospital and employees who weren't vaccinated against the flu had to mask, wear gloves, gown, and face shield when interacting with patients and preface every interaction with a lengthy speech about how they opted to not get the flu shot. The shame of it forced a lot of people who may have otherwise been on the fence into getting the shot. Unfortunately, people seem to be a lot more immune to shame than they were even 10 years ago.

Someone find the BC message board ..we eating good tonight...lol.

 

BC is actually good this year.

Beautiful! Great job!

Probably directed at white polo shirt who keeps pacing the near sideline. Deserves it

Hey, the BC announcer called us "competent"

I was trying to figure out whether it was "competent" or "confident". Decided the former was funnier

Gotta feel great heading into the locker room right now. Hats off to Cerruti. Looking like the sharpshooter he was billed as on those last two possessions

That's a shame. Maybe you'll be able to stream it after the game is over?

They're playing well tonight. They've had good stretches on offense and good stretches on defense, but rarely looking as solid on both sides at the same time as they have so far tonight.

With Justin Neely's 3rd AE Rookie of the Week, he has now tied Joe Cremo and Cam Healy for 4th all time. Their third ones didn't come until February, so good chance he matches Luke Devlin with 4 or even Jamar Wilson with 5

Very cool, honestly. I'm excited for him.

Excellent start!  Shots are finally falling. Good for them!

Amica's out for the season since he needs hip surgery. I feel for the kid. That sucks.

The ball has to roll a different way at some point doesn't it?

You'd hope so, but these first 7 games seem to say otherwise
