I thought I read somewhere (maybe even on Marks S's blog) a while back that the Cuse game was on ESPNU.

Presumably it would be televised in the evening like 99% of weekday games on workdays are.

 

 

I don't remember reading on UNC yet.

FAU's schedule is out, confirming the game on November 30:

A return home for Yale Captain Alex Zampier (Columbia/East Greenbush NY). Also for Yale Head Coach, James Jones, (UAlbany '86)

Nice home game but too bad it's when the students are out. I'm wondering if the students will be there for those tournament games in November with Alcorn State and Detroit.

Good schedule IMO...average RPI from last year of the known opponents is 155. Our team will once again get to go up against some of the best...Syracuse and obviously North Carolina. American, Siena are also good games....as is Robert Morris if the rumor is true.

 

Good balance IMO between strong teams and then some lesser opponents. No home games for a month though....oh well!

That is an awesome schedule for people that don't live in the capital region. I'm so glad CB gave fans games around the LI and NYC area.

Last years RPI and records may not mean a lot as college teams can change a lot from year to year. But since there are no baseball games to go to tonight (NYCBL done, NYP off day, mets on west coast) I decided to look up the records from last season and the Pomeroy ranking. I said before that RPI is not really a good mathematical formula. It does a better job of measuring a teams opponents than it does of measuring a team. Either Pomeroy or sagarin does a better job of measuring a teams strength so I used Pomeroy.

 

Anyway the average record of our 09-10 opponents last season was 17-15 overall, 8-7 in their league. Average Pomeroy was 180 out of 344.

Bob....thank you for the info.

 

I agree with you that RPI from last year is not an accurate indicator of what these teams will do next season. But it does show that allot of these teams have had some success, I believe six of them were in the NCAA's this year, thus are probably solid programs that hopefully will be decent opponents this season.

 

I like this schedule as it will challenge our team. Before going into the AE slate we'll know what type of team we will have as the will certainly be tested.

 

While we won't have a home game for about a month....we will have the game at the TUC which most of us will attend.

 

I'm excited for this season and really starting to jones for UA hoops. Football starting the season in a few weeks should help.

 

Let's get them in Statesboro!

 

P.S. I did not include the three CvsC teams in the RPI calculation as I didn't see them confirmed in the release. Anyone else excited about 3 games in 3 days in our barn?

Dec. 22 at Loyola (Chicago), Horizon, 14-18, 6-12, 228

 

That seems like a nice thing that Coach Brown has done two years in a row. With three players from Chicago and a fourth nearby in Indiana, he's scheduled a road game right before Christmas break in their hometown so they have a short trip home for the holidays. With a bunch of NYC players on the roster last year he scheduled the road game at St. Francis in Brooklyn right before Christmas last year.

 

No home games in December is a bummer but that CCSU game is a nice road trip. I'm glad we keep playing them. I'll have to keep an eye on South Kent's schedule, maybe I can catch a Danes game and see James Stukes in the same weekend. The other road games that stand out our Syracuse, Penn and Iona.

I am going with the teams from a month ago on the Detroit schedule, same dates as on our schedule. Also Robert Morris had something on it before that.

Obviously, I am excited about the 3 days and I will be at 6 games in 3 days as each day is a doubleheader.

Also as I mentioned somewhere before, I am hoping to go to Florida the following weekend for the UA 2 games there plus potentially 12 games in Orlando. If I can get enough time off, I will work in a couple of more games on the way back from Florida. I would also like it if the Miami - South Florida football game in Tampa on 11/28 gets scheduled at noon so I can see that before the UA basketball game.

Any chances that espnu picks up this Albany Siena game next year?

 

 

No.

DP James Stukes I believe is going to Winchendon (???)
