This isn't good, this just means they're going to come out of the gates pissed off and drop 120 pts on us.

FYI... Syracuse lost to Le Moyne (Div 2) tonight during their exhibition game 82-79.

Means very little if anything....they will be more focused and ready on Monday. I suspect our coaches were watching the game though to see if they can get anything out of this game.

 

To bad we won't have MJ....to start the season especially this season is probably as good a time as any to play them and knock them off.

Having thought about it some more.....the worst thing that could have happened was Cuse losing this game. Now they will be pissed, JB going for 800, home and season opener....

 

If we are to have any chance we are going to have to hit our outside shots against that zone....

I don't care how pissed they are.

Ehhh...you play the cards dealt....let's lace 'em up and play ball!

is it better to buy tickets before hand or can walking up on the day of work just as well?

 

I wouldn't think getting tickets would be an issue especially after last nights exhibition performance.

They usually announce a crowd of 18,000 or so for the UA games. There probably will be tickets available either outside or at the box office better than the 3rd level seats they generally have available for most games. Face value is $20 on Monday.

UAlbany uncertain at PG

Interesting how CB says MJ has been the best player BY FAR in practice thus far. If we can get output from him which is even close to what we're going to get production wise from Timmy and Will, we're going to be a SCARY team this year..

I'm cautiously optimistic that this will translate to real games....if it does it will be a welcome change from poor play from that position last year.

With injuries + suspension - we're looking at Game #3 before we have even one true point guard? Ominous beginning.

Really unprecedented level of access by the school, not only are we getting stuff regarding the football/basketball teams but also now these types of lengthy 10 minute vids. Gotta give the AD a lot of credit! This is the kind of stuff we've been asking for for a long time.

Exactly.

It won't be the only time this season UA will be playing a team coming off a loss. If Syracuse brings even more intensity than normal it will give this years team a better idea of what to expect on December 5th when playing against a lesser team in their superbowl most likely coming off a loss.

There's some more on the the TU blog about the possibility of Tim playing PG next Monday. I don't think it'll be the worst thing if it works out that way. I'll be curious to see who starts at the other guard spot if Tartt and Mike Black aren't available.

 

I'm not buying into the "Syracuse is going to be angry" following their loss to Lemoyne. I thought we played pretty well against a better Villanova (than this Syracuse)team in last year's opener. I think we're bringing a pretty good team out to the Dome this year.

[UA'08]

Its been a quiet day so far. Any word on a possible starting lineup? When is the team travelling up to syracuse?

[Clickclack]

I suspect there isn't much to talk about just yet.....everyone is just biding their time until we finally get under way.

 

My guess would be the team will leaver for Syracuse sometime on Sunday, perhaps in the afternoon or early evening.

 

Some interesting questions still undecided...or at least not answered just yet.

 

- Will we have a PG?

- Who will start at the four spot?
