UA @ BUNY

[Clickclack]

The hellish stretch continues tonight at Binghamton with only a one day layoff. While the first or second spot is at this point is out of reach, the third spot is still in reach if we should somehow find a way to win this one and even then it will be difficult but the schedule does ease up a bit after this one. It won't be easy as the game will be at the packed Event Center. Hopefully as a team we can continue to improve and show some consistency, 40 minutes of good basketball.....instead of letting teams get up big on us in the first half.

I can't seem to find the info while at work but is this game on TW3? I know they carried the UA game down in Bing when they played here.

No this game is on MSG+ as is the next game Thursday against Stony Brook. I think TW3 has a community college game tonight.

Excellent, thanks bob!

Nice job by the Times Union webpage:

 

"Were you Seen?

See who we saw at UAlbany's Big Purple Growl

TONIGHT'S GAMES:

UALBANY: Danes want fast start at Stony Brook"

 

Stonybrook? lol...

 

TV for tonight is MSG +, as stated already. That would be Channel 26 for Time Warner, and it would be channel 33 for Mid-Hudson Cable people, like me.

 

Binghamton also offers a feed for $5.

Someone is going to jump in their car and drive down to SB only to be very disappointed.

Looks like the TU fixed that one, but I don't know any Albany fans that would the TU's word on that without checking a second source.

I can't get down to the game but if I did I was going to make a sign that said either simply: "Where's Jackson?" or "Where's Jackson?...Hanging Out w/ Phelps?"

 

Anyone is welcome to use those if they are going lol. Enjoy the trip to those who can make it!!

Anyone wish UAlbany began showing an inside game?

 

How the heck can we not utilize Giff at 6'11" down low.

I think I can count on one hand the times I remember Giff getting the ball down low over his years at Albany.

I also don't think I've seen giff miss a free throw. He's a sharp shooter from the line.

 

A little work on giff's leaping ability and a few low post moves would do us wonders, and give the defenses something to think about.

 

I also think Connelly has some quickness and skills to post up low more often.

I just saw this on the AE board....pizzabox posted this....but you can't spell BEaRcaTs without Bert! Obviously referencing the one eyebrow wonder. Gave me a nice chuckle.....

They are both players that give max effort and serve a valuable purpose to the team, but neither has a post game to speak of. I think Connally is actually better from 12-15 feet than from 3-5 feet.

 

Skilled bigs are few and far between. The lack of an inside presence makes it real tough for UA to win when one or two of the scorers is having an off night. Just not a lot of places to go. After the big three (and hopefully some more consistency from Barazza), there are a lot of role players. We really miss Al Turley. Not an All America East player but somewhat skilled (unpolished) on the offensive end of the floor.

I am sorry to say, I don't have confidence...this team doesn't have the experience and talent yet to compete vs. Binghamton, Vermont or Boston...just an opinion

[GreatDanes06]

may want to start guarding mayben

[haggyland]

Ambrose has at least one assist and one turnover in every game this year.

He just got the turnover. Now, let's get that assist.

Eyebrow is killing us!
