Saturday versus Binghamton

[GODANESGO]

Without making any prediction based on skill/talent of either team, I was looking at the schedule results and noticed that we haven't won more than 2 games in a row this season. But while that is true, we also haven't LOST more than two games in a row. We are riding back-to-back losses at SBU and at NU...if we lose at Bingo this Saturday it will be the first time we lost 3 straight this year. Hopefully what we've done this season continues and we prevent a 3rd loss in a row.

Albany needs four players in double figures and needs to push the tempo to reach 70 points. The Great Danes are 8-3 when they reach that plateau. Plus, to ease the load on the offense, we need to capitalize on opponents turnovers and score some easy points off our press.

 

If this becomes a half-court game, I don't like our chances. We play poorly when forced out of our element.

 

Also, I would like to see atleast 20 minutes out of Chris Wyatt against their bruiser Alex Adediran. Zoellner should only be on the floor when Billings is in.

 

Unlike the Northeastern game when we fell asleep at the beginning of each half, we can't allow that to happen and get down 15 points early. Otherwise, you can warm up the bus.

........ and Binghamton is 0-7 when they give up 70 or more points. Now does this explain how important tempo is for Saturday?????
