There are 2 members of the Doc Sauers coaching tree in the tournament - Jones at Yale and Senderoff at Kent State. Coach Abe and her staff, including Tahnee, Isoken and Ebone Henry are in. And, former Dane, Emma List is in with FGCU. Any others?

So, who does everyone think fed this story to Samurai Hoops?

Timbukto I'm not a spelling nerd; just wanted to prove that I read all this nonsense

It looks like there is a scrimmage against LCC tomorrow night @ Afrim's

We turned a UNH player into AE player of the week and a Maine player into AE freshman of the week. This is what having no defensive strategy, coaching or instruction does.

TU reports Connor Fingar and Cam Hay out for year with ACLs

So, i bought my season ticket on one of the first days they went on sale. It said I bought a 10 game package. Now, on the ticket page, it shows i only bought 8 games. Deep down, I don't really care, but, how is this not a bait and switch?

$11.50 if you buy on line. I think (but am not positive) $10.00 at the door - cash only. Kids are $3.00

I am guessing that since Elijah Gash's picture is on the season ticket renewal story (together with Graydon Hogg) he is still at UAlbany. Pretty clever, huh?

Curiously, The Albany - Penn game is listed as a home game for Penn on Penn's site and as a home game for us on our site.

Yes, you are correct. My apologies.

We have 4 AE home games: UML (3/18), UMBC (4/10), NJIT (4/15) and Merrimack (4/23)

The Penn game is an away game.

Never

Is Elijah Gash still at UAlbany? https://www.thelaxmag.com/home/swarms-selection-of-elijah-gash-voided-brings-league-wide-total-of-terminated-picks-to-twelve

Letter to the Editor in today's TU from Dr. Sorrell Chesin (which I post mostly because of the high regard I have for him): Bring Kaloyeros back to lead SUNY Poly In the world of academia, interim institutional presidents who leave their position in a year or two raise serious questions. SUNY Polytechnic Institute was expanding during Alain Kaloyeros’ leadership in the early 2000s. He founded the first nanotech institution in the United States, and it is what brought technology-manufacturing corporations to this country. Yes, he made a mistake with the bid rigging, but it had no relationship with how he managed the institution. He had no other choice but to resign. Why not bring him back as interim president or a special position, one that would capitalize on the accomplishments he made that resulted in tens of thousands of jobs, hundreds of businesses, and billions of taxes being paid to the state of New York? We would all benefit from his ingenuity. SORRELL CHESIN Davidson, N.C. Associate vice president emeritus, University at Albany

I would say it differently. I'd say that Luke's father is looking for the pound of flesh he thought he was going to get before President Rodriguez was persuaded otherwise. And, I am not convinced that the legal retainer is a pure contingency; my guess is that it is a hybrid, with counsel assured of a certain floor no matter the financial result. BUT, these are guesses on my part and I have absolutely no inside information.

There was a footnote in one of the pre-game stories about the floor. It indicated that the arena intended to use the floor from the Capital Center, as it would be neutral, but, when they laid it down at the MVP Arena, they found it was not NCAA regulation, and so, the re-laid the Siena home floor and put UAlbany and Albany Cup stickers on it, again to give the appearance of neutrality. From my vantage point, it looked like Neely's injury occurred on one of the UAlbany stickers. Being totally unfamiliar with how these stickers affect footing, I am throwing out the question to those who have more knowledge about such things than I do, of whether the sticker could have contributed to the injury. I certainly do not know the answer.

I assume they will spend the offseason lobbying Immaculata & Skidmore to add football

I see we have exhibitions with Skidmore and St. Rose. I assume this is accurate even though I did not get it from Instagram.

While I hate the D2 & D3 games, it makes great sense under these circumstances given DK's 5 game suspension

For those who care about such things, the 2022-23 roster is up on the website today.
