Big game at home, gotta get back to winning basketball.

I'm hoping Logan get's his shooting touch back

Black should be feeling much better from what I've heard.

That's good news.

 

We are 4-6 after 10 games, last year we were 4-6 after 10 games. Last year our 11th game was against CCSU, this year our 11th game is against CCSU. I hope that's where the similarities stop.

 

Kenpom actually has us favored for a few games now, nice to be rooting with him instead of against him.

 

Some good stuff up on the Troy Record blog about scheduling and the upcoming CCSU game.

Interesting comments on the schedule. I know it can't be easy putting it together. You either make compromises or you end of with less games like a certain arrogant team did last year.

I personally didn't have a problem with the Yale game. Ideal situation no, but there could be benefits down the road having a quick turn around after an emotional victory. Also they had extra rest after that game with the next game not until tomorrow compared to the Yale game being more spaced out on Wednesday or Thursday. I would like to see them get back on track tomorrow.

Wilkins' blog with an injury report - no new injuries, just a point that it would take a full month for Puk to recover, but playing shouldn't make it any worse either. Black at about 80%.

I'm sure there was an intense emotional buildup to the cross-town rivalry the entire week...

on both sides of town. Playing less than 48 hours later, 5 hours away, will batter the best of them.

It's a non issue in my eyes. It can only help come tournament time. The OOC is only a confidence and character builder.

In other news, Alum73 is totally under the weather. Tomorrow will be a game time decision.

A stat dump on the CCSU- UAlbany game up on PAGN now. Their local reporter did a nice q&a about CCSU, so I'll have that up later tonight as well.

Not looking forward to seeing the Horton kid, the guy is a serious baller.

Looks like there's a deal for tonight's game...for those who have yet to hear/read...

Here's the write up from our meeting two years ago where Tim Ambrose hit a game winner with under 4 seconds. Seems pretty typical of the last couple years. Will Harris had a good first half, did hardly anything in the second and missed a layup- and it was either timmy's heroics or nothing.

Are you sure? I don't think CCSU has been that good against us.

 

Last season (I believe) we were down a couple at the half and ended up destroying them in the second half and winning by double digits.
