Albany v. UVM

[JustDrastik]

I like Connelly's mid-range game, but don't like his long-range game. I've seen him shoot 2 3's so far. Once this team gels a little more, I think people will naturally start to ease back into their comfort zones and not try too hard to score and do too much.

Jerel looks great tonight. I want to start seeing him attack the basket and stop going baseline.

ooo wow...B-Conn is wwwwwwwwwaaaaayyy off today

[Dane96]

BC is having as rough a day as BC EAGLES yesterday--- YIKES!

[GreatDanes06]

not a bad first half...some missed easy shots, but good work trying to get second chances. They need to come out with serious energy in the 2nd half.

Well we are in the lead at the half

[Dane96]

Lookie lookie...the call outs of players, the loss, and the Ambrose explanation seems to have fired up the entire team and the coach. Will has not been that happy in a loooooong time.

[JustDrastik]

What I find VERY refreshing is that - Albany is barely utilizing a lot of our talent. Moreso than most other AE teams, we really have so much surplus riding the bench or not in our current schemes much. Just to think that Hastings hasn't been playing anywhere near his capability, nor Ambrose or Gifford etc. is very refreshing. Sometimes I'm too harsh on this team, but hopefully they come out with some energy.

I've been flipping back and forth between the Giants/Albany game - has Martin been playing a lot? Haven't seen him when I've been watching and I've seen a lot of the game. Was he in foul trouble? can't get the box score on ESPN

I am just so happy that we have overcome the lethargy of the very beginning and have seen things click as the half proceeded.

 

Just one question on the feed, I seem to be getting static images instead of a flowing transmission. I have a new laptop. Anyone have any idea what my trouble is? Thanks.

JustDrastik-- For the record, that is what (in probably a harsh way to you guys) was trying to get across in that crazy thread. These guys are not performing for a variety of reasons...and we as fans can armchair all we want but we need to relax. Some are kids...and the adults get paid to do what we were doing.

 

I think B Connelly said it great: The young kids dont know how to win championships...the older guys are not doing their jobs in showing how to win a championship.

 

These guys know whats up...and I think it is taking longer than we all (mostly Will and the staff) would like...but I truly believe we will be in the final.

 

As for Martin, I think he is unavailable...and I am not sure why!

[JustDrastik]

Continuing my post from before, we don't even have Martin today. Shooting 33% from the field in the first half isn't going to cut it, but hopefully we can get out there in the first few minutes.

Connelley was 0-8. Eek. Can't hate on him at all, he gives 120% every game. Can anyone see Martin on the bench? Is he in warmups?

No...it is happening to me as well. It is the AE feed and isnt as clean as the Albany feed in the past.

 

 

BTW...cool thing happened yesterday. My friend called me and dragged me out of bed at 10am yesterday to go to the BC-KU game. First off, BC fans (as usual) are awful. There were probably 1500 Kansas fans there (I sat with them because I was with a KU alum) and they drowned out the BC fans. Rock Chalk Jayhawk is one of the creepiest chants I have ever heard...but really cool. It is beyond creepy though...kind of like a haunted mansion.

 

Anyway, I was sporting red to support Kansas...but wearing my Albany hat.

 

ABOUT 50 Kansas fans came over and congratulated me on the progress Albany made in our short DI time. Our Siena friends will love this: THEY ALL SAID-- UCONN GAME...GREAT...LOVED IT...YOU GUYS ARE A SPIRITED SCHOOL...WE EXPECT MORE OUT OF YOU GUYS AS YOU GROW.....GOOD LUCK...AND.....BEAT YOUR RIVAL NEXT YEAR.

 

These fans are so freaking nice and knowledgeable. They actually knew about our Siena-Albany rivalry.

 

All in all...it was a cool feeling and even better as I defended Albany's honor and won a nasty tournament of Beer Pong. The loser exclaimed: WAIT TIL Rock Chalk Jayhawk meets the puppy dogs in the first round.

 

Good times all around...and great to see Kansas people talking about the Danes-- And alot of them were NOT transplanted here in New England!!!!

[Dane96]

LOL....BC with a three....wow!

[GreatDanes06]

great energy coming out...lets hold it!!!
