Coach Abe

[UAalum72]

By realtime RPI the women's team is going dancing this season! RPI is 128, highest in the AE and above Hartford's 177.

 

Let's push for the at-large! Yee-haw!

You don't think we'll go undefeated in conference?

 

Anyway, no at-large for us with a SOS of 299

i think haggy was being a little sarcastic there

I also think Haggy was being sarcastic. But the SOS should start getting better soon. After Saturday's game, our 3rd against the worst conference in America (it never gets old referring to the maac that way and always accurate when I say it) UA plays Syracuse and Duke, 2 teams in the top 30 RPI.

Odds are they will get thumped by both SU and Duke but it may also still improve our RPI. It is possible that after the Duke game Albany is 7-2, yes against an easier schedule but 7 wins is 7 wins if we have them. I am willing to bet that against the same teams in past seasons our record would have been worse.

I would classify it more as irrational exuberance, but seeing wins from that program is a great thing.

agreed.

Even wins against teams from the worst conference are good.

[UAalum72]

Well, I was being sarcastic too. But sometimes the world needs some irrationality.

 

RPI will certainly go up, because it's based more on who you play (and who they play) than on how many wins you get.

[UAalum72]

Even though our RPI is 137 and SHU's 245, ReealtimeRPI has Heart favored by 4 tonight.

 

Sacred Heart has a video link here starting at 6:55

Watched a bit of this game - the ladies can play, no win but what I saw was solid bball and entertaining to boot.

[kikuria]

Poor shooting from two of Albanys main scorers was tough to overcome but it was a close game until the final seconds.

[Dane Pound]

Seems like Coach Abe has won over Mark McGuire

[UAalum72]

6-1 Dane women play at 6-0 Syracuse Monday. SU just beat Delaware State 87-17

 

I'm sure everyone shares my opinion of the headline of their pregame story - New York's College Team Hosts Albany Monday

[Eli]

87-17? WOW.

[UAalum72]

87-17? WOW.

Marquette beat Vermont 68-19 Saturday. They must have let up because it was 40-6 at the half. UVM shot 2-21 from 3, 8-49 overall, and 1-7 FT.

How does SU get this to happen -- they've played every game at home so far, then they will go to the Bahamas for two games, and then return to the Dome for three more games before they make their first road trip on January 4. I mean, is going to Syracuse/Carrier Dome THAT much of an attraction? After a 3-point win over Northeastern in the first game, they've been blasting everyone, including a 41-point win over UNH.
