what a amazingly bad quarter that was. Like awful doesn't even describe. I have no clue what kind of shots they were throwing up. I mean that was bad. Somehow only down 10.

I have been to 6 of the 9 arenas in AE...Patrick has that old school vibe, but year it's small as hell and all bleachers. However, it gets loud really easy. Reminds me of the Nassau Coliseum in a way. Arena was old and trash at the end, but you get enough people in there, the noise can get loud real quick.

reminds me of the first time they beat UVM in Patrick...took them to see 300.

even Becker I can't see. He's got such a solid gig and group of kids. Also, new arena possibly. He could up his resume and find something much bigger. The only thing Q has to offer is money, not winning.

AE on ESPN3 is the greatest thing to happen to this conference...if it means 11 am on Saturday the day before brackets are announced, I APPROVE!

almost gave the game away...literally. Friday for the chip in Albany.

there wasn't 2k+ in SEFCU the other night

that's a pretty sweet deal he's got. wonder who they bring in to call with Roger.

This 100%. Can we give her more than a year after everything that has happened over the past few years?

wow...just wow. I'm so done with this game every year.

Cuse defense was smothering that quarter also. You can't blow a 6-1 lead.

unreal...take a guess why...YUP, FACE-OFFS.

the ball movement and patience looks just awesome. Not forcing anything. Looking for the perfect shot.

let me tell ya...last year in this game UA looked intimidated...NOT THIS YEAR

Colarusso straight killing it right now...kid saving almost everything.

this team...I just don't get it haha

I'll poke around at the figures now Was just checking the NCAA stats myself. Our attendance of 2,824 ranks 147 of 351 - top half. Since they were mentioned, we're only 149 behind Monmouth, 122 behind Stony Brook, about 500 behind Buffalo. Attendance would be 2nd or 3rd in the MAAC, Ivy, Colonial,WAC. Middle of the pack of MAC or C-USA. More than anyone in the Patriot and a lot of other low majors. Or another way - we'd be last only in the ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12 and SEC. $iena attendance is down to 5400 this year, if you believe their numbers. I don't know if they count all the luxury boxes at the TUC as sold out every game. Only 4788 at the Rider game Tuesday. Our women are ranked 94th. So our attendance isn't that bad compared to all of D-I, it depends on what you expect. Without going to another league, especially one where we could count on the visitors traveling a little,(Bing brought almost nobody last night) I don't know how to boost it to what you seem to be aiming at 90% capacity every night. I don't think students drive attendance at many schools either. Current year stats at http://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/change_sport_year_div Attendance is under the "Misc Reports" tab after specifying Men's Basketball and Div. I I understand the poor attendance for a weeknight game against Binghamton, but why can't every Saturday night home game have a big purple growl atmosphere??? Do the feast thing, have a band play, do the whole Great Dane game day thing. to me the answer is the AD...you gotta work on marketing to get people in the seats. I agree with the UA students being ehhh with sports. It was a problem when I was a student. That's why when we made the AE title game, I was lucky to be in the arena calling the game for WCDB. But it kinda annoyed me that these "student fans" showed up for that game, and were non existent the rest of the year except for BPG. The AD gives out these "Daneger Zone" shirts and then that's it. WORK TO GET THESE STUDENTS EVERY DAMN GAME. It sounds crazy, but you gotta offer them stuff if need be.

not really sure what to make of this game.

honestly, they just are what they are. 14 three pointers allowed. Until this team learns how to play perimeter D, this is just a constant.

schedule announced...once again Cuse to start the year. So sick of that game already.

Went to game and just drove an hour home. Tried to wrap my head around what to say...I got nothing. Speechless.

the size of the OL guys is something that makes me happy. It's clear the program is trying to build the lines up...they got what they want to work with at WR and RB.

very young to retire if you ask me...she must have other goals to accomplish. Good for her if so.

jekyl and hyde...that's all I got

holy crap...they can't make lay-ups.
