Agreed.  Late in the game he allowed a baseline dunk that he easily could have contested/fouled.  He looked like he was playing w/ 4 fouls the whole night.

Bizarre stat of the night.  Beagle w zero fouls.  

Will be a good test for the team tonight.  We'll know a little more coming out of this one.

30-40 cars lined up from Broadview to Western Ave trying to get through the parking system 

Move the parking ticket checkers up the driveway and this issue gets much cleaner.

I’ve been a season ticket holder since the D2 days.  I’ve never seen a run like that one.  

Feel lucky to be down by only 4.  Very sloppy. 
 

Neely is not ready for prime time.

Both LCC and UVM made Sportcenter Top 10 this morning.

LCC getting dunked on and UVM losing via a 3 point buzzer beater.

Maybe Poff knows he isn't, or at least thinks he might not be, NFL talent.  In that case if he's getting big NIL money (and I don't know what that means) then the situation doesn't matter.   At a minimum somebody must think he can compete for a starting job if he's getting NIL money.  But if somebody throws a big chunk of money to compete, not handed, for a starting job it's tough to turn it down.

I hate it personally but it's not going anywhere.  Hopefully some tweaks provide some stabilization.  I look back to Jamar Wilson.  If it was like this he would have been gone after year 2 and we'd never would've had our glory days of hoops.  

Fun game to watch.  No real long stretches of no offense.  Scoring from multiple sources.  Strong rebounding advantage.

As for the TO’s the seemed to pile up late when we were slowing it down.

Just wish we could get a bigger crowd.  

1-10 from 3 isn’t helpful.  Going to need a handful of those in the 2nd half.

What’d I miss?  Beagle not starting.

One heck of a game.  Can’t believe I’m still up either.

Agree. I think 12 is too many though…..8 would be just right. Probably wanted a system with first round play in games and byes for the top 4.  It’s always bugged me that they have allowed more than one team from the same conference in the CFP. It didn’t happen this year, but IMHO if you don’t win your conference you don’t belong in a four team playoff. Gotta use the conference championships as an elimination game. I do think that FSU would be a big underdog against any of the teams that got in, but it would have been fun to see that defense against the others. I’m thinking that before too long the P4 teams will part ways from the rest of FBS and perhaps the NCAA as well. Especially with NIL and $$ flying around.  

I’ll guess that FSU will be two TD dogs against the Dawgs.

Saint Rose, likely, knocked on Siena's door, just no one answered or, if Siena did answer the door told Saint Rose that they could use the Siena chapel for praying.

The Siena community, when it comes to preserving a Catholic college education or choices of a Catholic college education in the Capital District, it is about them and only them. 

In their defense they are in no position to take on upwards of $50MM in debt and acquire/partner with an entity that is losing millions of dollars a year.  Would the lender take less than what's owed?  Absolutely.  How much less is the question now.  The lender(s) can't think that the land and buildings have that kind of value in that area so they will be open to negotiations but doubtful they'd take it down to a dollar amount that made sense for another educational institution to take it on.  

St Rose has been in a tough spot financially for years.  The timing might be a surprise but this happening shouldn’t be.  They appear to also be attempting a Hail Mary.  Pressuring the city and state.  

What did I just watch?  Clearly LCC is a horrible basketball team but I gotta think we might be figuring something out.  At least a glimmer of hope.

Great job by both administrations and the pissing match.  A game that used to get the entire community excited and now look.  1 day before the game and not even the diehards seem to care.  Obviously the level of play by both teams is part of this but I miss 10-12,000 and a fired up crowd.  Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend at 5PM???? Brilliant.

We are one of the worst teams in the country...any win is a good win against a D1 opponent. 

Agree.  A win is a win.  Found a way in the end.  A big make and a big defensive stand.  

I had no idea it was going to be this long for Neely.  A few more weeks before he sees his Dr again?  And then we’ll see?  Obviously he’s gotta be ready, I just thought/hoped we’d see him sooner.

"I think it's a reality check," UAlbany junior guard Sebastian Thomas said. "We're not who we thought we were, so I think we need to get back to the drawing board and focus, practice, prepare better and I think we'll have a better outcome"

"I think it's jitters, new team, a little bit anxious," Thomas said. "We have a problem of coming out slow in practice, and that's something we definitely have to clean up, considering we play a month of road games."

 

I like some of this but who did they think they were?

Probably should’ve sold the tickets before this one?

12 fouls, 11 Turnovers and 11 made baskets. 

Neely better be really good

7fg's and 6 fouls...close. 

Timing is everything.

More turnovers than made baskets.  I’m guessing analytics would tell me it’s very difficult to win that way.

More fouls than baskets made.  I’m guessing….
