UTAH GAME THREAD

[NYR]

Great win and kudos to the TU for great converage. Singelias made the trip, good article and 4 blog entries. These are the quality wins this program needs to continue to accumulate.

I like how Singelais called the victory the "greatest upset of its Division I history." Despite the great number of posters' comments regarding this game on this board last night, I'm not sure how many of us realized the giant step the program made with this win. We have just become a little more used to passing milestones and just accept the progress made. Let's hope we continue to knock down obstacles and continue on this road.

I think it's also important to note that the 3 that Iati hit on was absolutely HUGE, it stopped them when they were making their run and put us back up by 3. I cringe when he let's it go this season but that shot was absolutely huge.

Great Game!!

Anytime there's an article about Albany's win on SI, you know it's big.

 

Hopefully Jamar can come back to his usual self.

If that happens, the AE better watch out because this team can be just as strong as last year, if not better.

I'm really amazed at the foul shooting. Only got to te line 4 times to Utah's 20. we go 0-4, they get 16-20. Just goes to show how important those 3 pt. goals are.

What is the impact of this game on the Braketbuster? Any chance that we get to host the game?

No,

teams are predetermined into either a home team or a road team. We are a road team. The impact of this game is that if we keep playing well, we will get a good matchup and a tv matchup like last year. About 26 of the 100 or so teams get put on the ESPN network. Some of the 100 teams really have no business being in the bracketbuster as it was originally intended to showcase possible tournament teams. But those teams like the bottom teams of the maac will play other bottom teams in games that have no chance of being televised.

Thanks Bob, now I remember that we are the designated road team. If I'm not mistaken this means a solid team coming back to the CUE next season.

Yes, the team we play at for the bracketbuster returns that game at Albany next November or December.

Check out Mark Singelais's latest blog entry from this afternoon.

The latest Dane news concentrates on Jamar's injury last night. It mentions how scared he was, with blood pouring out of his mouth and lack of movement. A trainer dispelled a lot of the fear when he asked Jamar to successfully squeeze his hand. No wonder bob87 didn't want to see the replay.

 

There is some other interesting information also included in the blog.

 

My New Year's wish is to hope for no serious injury to befall any of these young gentlemen this season. (I'd wish for no injuries at all, but that hope is just not realistic with the way so many of them contest every play.)
