UA Hosting AE 12-13 Tournament

[DanesRGood]

If you didn't get a chance to watch the post game press conferences then you should try to find them, I haven't been able to though. I loved Will Brown's opening comment about getting better after the maine game and the countdown to the tourney.

I still think Vermont knew what they were doing last Sunday losing to Hartford. Now they host us! All planned!

Cry baby shyte.

 

Here's a couple of notables. UA lost at least 2, maybe 3 games they could have won including one against BU and last week at SBU. With those 2 wins, we are 25-8...not far off of the SUPERIOR Stony Brook team.

 

Second, our inside game is pretty damned good. Not an offensive juggernaut...but they play PLAYOFF basketball, which = tough basketball.

 

We are not the most talented team in the league...but we are a team. Honestly, who here thought "Oh shyte" when the big men had 4 each...and then Rowley fouled out. MY HAND IS RAISED. But we got great support from Devlin...and Gary Johnson (starting of course) played a hell of a game.

 

Brown Coached the crap out of this team over the last month!

Stony Brook was a tremendous team..no doubt. But for all the knocks on our 'weak' schedule..according to Pomeroy..Stony Brook's best win this season was a 7 point victory at home over an 18-13 Canisius team..who finished 5th in the MAAC.

 

That being said..they should be very good again next year. Brenton is the only starter they graduate..and both Warney and Puriefoy already look great as freshmen.

The post actually has two UA alums. Marc Berman beat writer for the Knicks and Paul Schwartz for the Giants.

Article on tournament...

If a writer from the Times Union would have written the article focusing on Stony Brook's defeat, (s)he would have concentrated on the Brook's constant losses in the big tournament games, regardless of where they were played.

The games were great. I don't remember crowds that big for almost all of the sessions - maybe a result of UVM and the host being in separate sessions.

 

I and several other fans I talked to didn't care much for the Fan Fest - just the two food stations and slow service at the Beer Garden, the usual complaints about Chartwell's. Compared to Hartford's tent, there seemed little energy - maybe University Gym is too big (and too high-ceilinged) of a barn for the number of people that show up, or they could have the kids' entertainment separate from the food area.

 

Oh, and my wife missed Hartford's martini bar.

 

But maybe that's all a matter of expectations - there have been nothing but compliments on the AE board about how the tournament was run.

Was the game vs. SBU sold out? Packed/ people going ape?

This NY Post article is acting as though Stony Brook is the NYC home team. What the heck is that all about? Stony Brook is weel outside the NYC metro area as is Albany. I'm disappointed at this coverage. All we have is the TU and they can be hostile to UA.

3400 or so, but seemed as loud as it's ever been.

Stony Brook falls in that market. It's not considered to be outside of the NYC metro area.

 

All stony brook scores are announced in updates on local sports radio here. It is considered a local school.

Agreed, I thought the fanfest in Hartford was a lot better than ours. Coming in to the weekend, I thought we would just copy what Hartford did. I was wrong. The only thing we had better was the inflatible games. The food, beverages and layout were better at the Hartford fanfest.

 

That beings said, I like having the tournament at Albany. The homecourt advantage was Huge.
