Good for him.  

I left this out of my previous post but I agree with the others on Benson.  He's done nothing that I can point to and say, "wow!  that was really great for the department and the school".

I'm definitely sad today and I honestly can't say whether this was the right move or not, especially after the crappy covid stuff the program had to deal with. I will ALWAYS be thankful and support Coach Brown no matter where he goes. He's been such a great coach, a good person and my interactions with him were always good ones.

I will say that since Chad O'Donnell and Jeremy Friel left that the recruiting has gone south and once they started missing on the 4 year kids they had to scramble with Jucos and transfers and it's hard to build a good program that way.  Jucos an transfers used to be used to fill gaps by Brown, not create rosters.  The Cremo and Nichols late transfers didn't help much either and set the program back and you can even say may still have not recovered from. 

I will never forget the experiences that all those seasons bought me though.  Especially getting some of my college friends back together a few times a year to travel up for games or to road games and the fun times that created.  The tourney games and championship games I attended (3 out of the 5) were unforgettable.  THANK YOU COACH BROWN!

I just hope they make the right hire who can keep some of the good kids on the roster right now and get back to recruiting some good 4 year kids.  Feels like its been a bit since we had a freshman to get excited about other than Healy.  

I'll admit, sadly, I've hardly followed this season. Where is Healy? I think I asked previously and someone said he was hurt. Then I see minutes in the stats. Is he still hurt or lose his role? 

I havent been on much and have missed a lot of games this year for the first time in many years due soto some personal issues. I know Cam was hurt but I don't think he is anymore since I see he is getting minutes. What's the story? Did he lose his job?  Sorry if this was talked about already. 

Been out of the loop a bit.  When did the SBU games get postponed?  I take it that it's covid related?

Anyone know why?

It was so weird watching the second half and for most of it all new players on the court. It was like watching a different program. I really hope they can come together and grow as a team and win a bunch of games this season. 

I haven't posted here in a very long time.  Been reading on and off.  I was about to come here during halftime to complain about how bad this team is. Well, they shut me up with a really good second half and a very nice win!

Just read in the TU that Iowa said ONLY season tickets renewed by June 30th will be considered for any social distance plan formed/allowed! That is only a week away. With absolutely NOTHING coming from UA, I am a bit concerned about being shut out of any plan UA comes up with. I have been holding off on renewal and assume many of you have also? Am I being needlessly paranoid about being shut out? Has or was there ever a "last date to renew" statement made before or since the covid stoppage? Anyone recommend throw caution to the wind--renew and see what happens? I know UA is NOT Iowa, and would prefer to wait and see a statement from them; but wonder how others are feeling?????

If you renew and the season doesn't happen then I would think they would either refund you or put it towards next year's tickets.  I've seen that with baseball tickets already. 

I might as well join the fun. I came to Albany in 93 as a transfer after my freshman year to play baseball. I blew out my elbow in the first fall practice trying to impress everyone with my quick and hard throws to second base as a catcher. Had surgery and never stepped on the field at UA again. 

I attended a good number of football and basketball games but not as many as I should have. I do remember the 94 D3 tourney very well though and the 2 point loss to NYU in the elite eight. It was fun to see the place packed!

Lastly, I met a girl in spring 93 during happy hour at Peabody's. I never thought 27 years later we'd still be together with two great kids. 😁

Things that's concern me with him is very slow footwork and very methodical. He's going to have to outwit his defenders... 

Get him in the gym during the offseason.  Kid can shoot, had some moves, can play a little D, has some hops and has a lot to fix. 

Hutch is a freshman.  Kid is going to be a player for this program.  

I really hope Rizzuto stays and improves. He plays hard and is a great kid.

From footballscoop last week:

Albany (FCS – NY): Special teams coordinator / co-defensive coordinator / outside linebackers coach Joe Bernard has been promoted to defensive coordinator and corners coach Curome Cox has been elevated to co-defensive coordinator, source tells FootballScoop. We understand that there are no open positions on the staff at this time.

He has played very well on the offensive end , however he is atrocious defensively. Constantly out of position. But def better offensively (more active). 

I really hope Healy is hurt. He is also terrible defensively, cant rebound,  cant pass. If he is not scoring 20 a night he is a bad player. 

I think he is definitely not right. If you watch the few jumpers he's taken, he is not getting the lift with his legs.  Not jumping high at all.

That was a mistake - Drexel was not ranked. Their only game was against High Point which looked like an OK loss, but High Point got throttled by Cornell worse than we did.

Ah, OK.  ESPN broadcast had me fooled.  haha!  Said 12 next to their name the whole game. 

I watched the replay last night because I missed it live.  I'm very happy to see them beat the #12 team in the country.  Yes, there was sloppy play, yes Drexel missed some opportunities but so did UA. I counted at least 3 times where their goalie made a great save on a very close shot or we missed an easy scoring opportunity so it goes both ways.  

For all the crap he has gotten on this board, the young man seems to play his heart out on the court.  Is every decision perfect but sometimes you have to deal with those in order to see some of the great things he does. Congrats to Ahmad!

Hoping for a in tonight!  Always hate this game for the team for some reason.  I also don't like he excuse of the long bus ride because Maine doesn't really have any short trips and all other teams have to visit them too. 

PS - These injuries stink.  We've been lucky over the recent years though to not have many of our top players hurt for really long periods of time.  It was bound to happen.

That's awesome.  Kid is a player!  So good to see another good young freshman!

First 5 mins of the second half killed us.  Other than that it was even really.

First five minutes of the half lost the game.  The rest of the game has been pretty even.  Sad to waste was was overall a good effort.

Getting ugly to start the half.  

Might be time to double Lamb.
