Amen. I'm afraid of this game after UVM.

Anyone have any ideas how ticket sales are going for the BPG?

79-73 Thank you. Still cannot find scores elsewhere. How did the women do? Men's article + box score: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=400839952 Women's game I can't find anything for. Thanks, Ilko. Wasn't able to load ESPN until your link.

What was the score of tonight's game?

Sometimes that happens whenever you have only four men on the floor, as in a certain game against Hartford.

10 years, wow. Just wow. Wish I could be at BPG. Remember that game very well. Every aspect of that game was over the top, beginning with the students camping out up to 2 days before game time.

Women beat Hartford this afternoon on the road 78-41. Not so long ago Hartford used to be Albany's nemesis in this sport.

Outrebounded 44-31.

Yes, saw that. The loss to Lowell takes a little sheen off our victory at Patrick.

Also good to see the free throw percentage improve. Twenty of 22 for 90 percent.

Nice pullaway for the women today.

Do you think that this team simply ran out of gas? Usually UA is stronger at the end of games than our competitors?

"Very improved"? Improved, sure...but more like getting a small bit of help from refs. I'm not one to regularly complain about refs and usually give them the benefit of the doubt but some of those calls were bad (and before our homeboy MaineJeff chimes in - even the announcers said some of them were bad so relax Jeffrey)...just as bad as some of the CRIMES committed during the UNH game. No surprise though...old whitey was reffing. I CAN NOT STAND THAT GUY. I think Tim Donahue is his BFF...dude HAS to be fixing games. How often do 2 players foul out of a game in college ball...on the same team (Stire and Sanders)? We need more players in the rotation for this type of scenario. Eight players is not enough. Interesting that though UMaine had 24 fouls to our 18, none of their players got five.

Lose against SBU or Vermont. Not Maine. With Vann back, let's see what Maine does the rest of the conference season. It has shown it can score against good teams. You may be right, though. It could be a tough loss for UA.

UA has had quite an eventful six-day stretch. We beat UVM convincingly on the road in a hostile environment for a very emotional win. We managed to squeak by UNH in another very emotional overtime win, and then, after a long 7-hour road trip, we lose by a small two point margin to a very improved Maine team who got back one of their best players. How much more can we expect from UA?

The problem I have with the noon start is the short time between the end of the UNH game and the Maine game, with a 7-hour bus trip in between. Yes, teams sometimes play two days in a row, but there's no long bus trip in between them. I hope fatigue doesn't settle in for UA in the second half.

Definitely NOT in the game. Thanks for the info. Is he at the game?

I'm not watching the game on TV, but Gamecast said that Kyle McKinley was in the game toward the end. Can anyone verify that?

At least a couple of buses worth from Lake George to see Wincowski's brief appearance The attendance was listed as over 3400. Not bad for students not in attendance.

And the reason SBU would get the invitation instead of UA is that the MAAC wouldn't want some upstart AE member coming into the league and immediately dominating all the sports championships.

Hey, guys! It's nice to analyze a loss and hope for improvement. One of the reasons why I like being a UA fan is because we seem a little more laid back and more forgiving of each other after a tough loss. Let me give a comparison. Every time LCC has lost to us in modern times, their fans become almost cannibalistic on their message board. They call each other names and call for every coaching staff member's head. We don't get anywhere near down to that level on this board, and I don't want it to get that way. I just want revenge next year.

What's that comment about "imitation being the sure sign of flattery?" The other team fanbase hasn't had much of an opportunity to rush the court for quite a number of years. UA fans just save the chance for winning conference championships.

Olddave is seriously delusional... I've been on that board a long time. Tony is the guy that for years insisted SIENA would never play at sefcu. Guy is taking his medicine right now. Fell flat on his face with that one. Come at me bro... I would love to see old Tony denied a seat at SEFCU next year, or do you think finding him a far corned would be punishment enough? Finally, after six years LCC will have to enter our house!

I refuse to pay a dime to TU to get their stories behind paywall. Didn't we already know the third game in this contract is a neutral court? I suspect once this contract expires after 3 years, it will stay neutral at the TUC and not in either fan-base season ticket package or it will alternate true home and home. I'm OK with them treating us like visitors, we are. We'll treat them like the second class citizens they are when they show up. I can't wait until the terms become more equal. What?! Only 525 tickets allotted for a local team? No introductions for our team? Before reading the terms of this year's game, I only wanted to bash Siena. Now I want to pulverize them. Then things get only better for next year when Siena finally has to come to our house.
