Hartford

[Dane Pound]

I was reading the TU story about tonight's gamewhen I noticed the line "Hartford traveled to the Capital Region on Sunday and the Hawks practiced at SEFCU Arena late in the afternoon."

 

Didn't the conference pass a goofy rule last year that teams can't travel the day before conference games if they're less than 200 miles apart?

Every year this team with their three point shooting gives us a hard time, this year we've done a terrible job defending the outside shot. They aren't shooting well from three but their volume is HUGE from out there. Hopefully a huge dose of 3-2 zone today or an extended 1-2-2 and get back in transition D and cover the wings.

 

They also turn the ball over a HUGE amount, trapping out of the 1-2-2 could be a great option to force to's.

maybe the rule only applies when classes are in session?

I asked AE on twitter and they said the overnight rules are still intact. So it's surprising Hartford was in Albany yesterday...

Hartford played on 12/31 at LaSalle in Philly with only one day in-between they are allowed to travel directly to Albany

We win - 40 to 37 - huge conference win for the WOMEN at Hartford

Great effort tonight, Hartford scrapped and clawed, Torres at times was out of control and got rightfully T'd up. We finally put a team down to close the game out. All around great effort.

 

Suero - what can you say, at this point he's the POY. He's passing, rebounding, scoring...24pts on 9-14, 9rb 5ast, 2blks and a steal.

Black - 15pts, 9ast...I don't think Mike is getting enough credit for the season he's having. His assists and A/T is way down, just needs to be careful with the fouls.

Devlin - Looks like he's rounding into game shape nicely, really starting to contribute over the last few games

Logan - Another high efficiency effort, shooting better then 50%, 5rb, 2blks, he's being overshadowed by Suero who is clearly the top banana but it's benefiting Logan being the second option.

 

And last but NOT least. Finally Puk doing work, 7pt and 11reb and great defense down low, hopefully he can continue to play like he has, oh yeah, all of that in 16 minutes. Keep bringing him along, get him healthy his size and mobility alone will payoff in this league.

 

Hartford played tough and VERY physical, I thought Torres was borderline dirty especially with his smacking the ball against the scorers table and the hit he put on on Suero. Refs had to pull the coaches to the middle of the floor and Brown was pissed and looked like he told Galagher to control him or it will get out of hand. He was just really frustrated and losing his cool repeatedly.

 

Granted this was against a winless team but you gotta play the teams on your schedule. Great work today!

Yeah, but we beat Hart by three at their place last year, then lost to them at home and in the tournament. Too bad Rizzoti gets home court every year.

 

This had to be one ugly game - UH shot 25% for the game. Albany shot 38.5% - from the FOUL LINE (32% overall). The score they announced but I didn't believe at our game was correct - Albany led 14-4 at under-8:00 media timeout.

Starting conference play with the men and women both in first place - beers all around!

 

Suero's point get the attention but he is terrific rebounder. Double-double and the Mount and 9 tonight. Granted it was against Hartford but he is improving as the season goes on.

 

I'm a Watts fan but that was a brutal game for him. Probably the best night for him to have a rough game. Great energy from the rest of the bench. If anyone sees a video highlight of the Guerrier dunk please post it.

Thanks. I'm not sure I expected to see Luke Devlin get a steal, run the court and dunk.

[UA'08]

looked like devlin took 5 steps lol

[Patch]

Devlin did the normal thing no travel there at all.

What travel?.....

Guerrier's dunk would have been 100x better if he actually got hand on rim. He kind of threw it in there it looked like from my vantage point...but still a filthy move.
