UA Hosting AE 12-13 Tournament

[Dane Pound]

I thought there was a possession or two on defense late in the game when our crowd was as loud as I can remember. Playoff intensity tonight. Let's do it again tomorrow.

 

I thought the same thing. Fun to be a part of although I'm not sure I can repeat it. Not sure if I'll be able to talk tomorrow.

 

That was brutal, physcial, and a grind of a game, in other words, tournament basketball. Sam Rowley had almost half our free throw attempts tonight. It's nice having a low post presence. On the other hand, Maine hardly went inside at all which helped us.

 

Weird tech on Brown. It might have fired the team up but it didn't look like an intentional tech at all. Other than maybe leaving the coaching box I'm not sure what he said or did. A couple hours before I watched Hartford's coach do two hours of jumping jacks, windmills and a James Brown impression on the same sideline without a tech. Brown makes the Florida Gator chomp motion and gets a "T."

 

I knew Maine went a while without a basket in the second half, I didn't realize it was almost 8 minutes.

No news on what the T was specifically for but Santillo did post ...

 

"@AndrewSantillo on technical UAlbany coach Will Brown was surprised because he wasn't warned by refs first"

I refreshed my browser and got an article about our win and tomorrow's game. It's in the College Sports Blog page.

Do the women play at 1pm tomorrow or 11am? I saw 1pm and am hoping that is the correct time of the game with daylight savings and all.

But is it on the front page? I only see a siena day old story about their win on the front page. Hmm who knows.

http://www.ualbanysports.com/HomePage.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=15800 has it listed as 1pm

Who do you root for in the first semi game between UVM and UMBC? If UMBC wins we got a shot to host the championship, but if UVM wins they will most likely be the better to beat SBU assuming we lose.

[Albany Weave]

UMBC, no question. If they win, we have a chance to host the championship if we upset Stony Brook.

[UA_MA_2000]

If UMBC wins, and we beat SUNY Long Island, we would host the Championship game, so I will cheer for UMBC at 5:00 tomorrow. It's a longshot at best but still possible.

Today's story: UAlbany steals victory

At least he didn't bring up the foul discrepancy

[UAalum72]

Someone said the technical was for giving the 'traveling' signal; kind of weird because that doesn't seem like much from 70 feet away, and I don't think refs can see well enough to lipread that far.

It would be nice if someone could ask the zebra's about it. Brown did give the traveling signal and was close to mid court, but if it was for that it was asburd as a bunch of coachs left the box this weekend and most games during the season without t's called and the Maine player did travel.

This is disgusting

This game was still disgusting. Rowley came up huge towards the end, but cracked under the big free throws at the end.

 

Can always find the cloud for every silver lining.
