Tough three games for Monmouth to start the season. Losses to Villanova, Virginia Tech and then George Mason.

[UA'08]

Need to leave VA with at least one win.

[uofalbany]

Looks like a nice arena.

Who's heading down?

[Dane Pound]

I like the way these games set up, a lot like last weekend. Very winnable game the first game and then a real test the next night. Monmouth was picked to finish 10th in the NEC.

 

Strange scheduling for George Mason. They are in Florida for a game Saturday against Florida Atlantic. Then back home for the two NIT games Monday. 3 games in 4 days.

Dane's Devlin Looks to Get Back on Track

I just skimmed ESPN3 and don't see our game listed.. does anyone know if we'll be able to view it anywhere online or on tv?

[uofalbany]

On the mason site, it lists the mon / alb game but only has a live stats link..

nothing about video

[UAalum72]

No video on the Monmouth site either.

[Clickclack]

This better be a W...Monmouth sucks...Last time out, George Mason rocked them by 32.

[Dane Pound]

Sounds like no Hooley or Puk for these games. Shouldn't hurt us tonight but we could use Puk tomorrow night. I'm wondering if we'll see some of the Devlin at center lineup we saw a little last week.

 

Statsheet has us favored by 7. Monmouth is shooting 18% from three so far this year.

I take their record..and stats..with a grain of salt when you consider the teams they've played so far. Villanova, Virginia Tech and George Mason serve as a bit different competition than UAlbany. Doesn't mean a win shouldn't be expected..but I'm in no way assuming we'll run roughshod over them.

I believe they were also picked dead last in the NEC...if memory serves. Certainly pre-season picks are debatable but when you are picked dead last well...

[uofalbany]

I find it hard to believe that so many times, host schools don't provide video

for the 'other' games or matches that don't involve their team...

 

It's the NIT kickoff tournament, you'd think they would provide basic video, even if they charged for it.

[UA_MA_2000]

Will the game be on the radio?
