Albany @BU 2/20/13

[MRSGDG]

and..

 

Final

UVM 73

Maine 61

[UA_MA_2000]

In other AE news...

 

Final

Hartford 49

UNH 44

 

Right on pace for a 4/5 game against Maine and probably another first round loss....YEY! *pumpsfists*

 

As long as we beat UNH and Hartford drops one of their last 2 games, we have the tiebreaker for the #3 seed with a 9-7 record.

 

If we make it to the second round of the Tournament and upset UVM, that's all we can ask of this roster. That would give us 22 wins and constitute one of our better seasons at the Division I level.

Current standings & stats of the teams...

Hartford's last game is at Vermont. Hopefully Vermont wins that. I think there is a huge difference in playing Maine vs. who s 6th.

What a joke.

 

I'd like to think if Hooley was in it might have made a difference, but who the hell knows.

Maine is actually in fifth place for Tournament seeding purposes (due to the post-season exclusion of Boston University), and I agree with you about the impact of playing Maine. I would like to avoid Maine in the first round if at all possible.

 

Not to add insult to injury in this thread, but wasn't Maine's best guard a DNP (injury) when Maine played us in Albany this season?

I didn't realize until looking at ESPN tonight that SBU has games @Maine and @BU left on their schedule. If they lose those the the regular season crown would go to BU I think. SBU would still get the #1 seed but they wouldn't have the NIT game to fall back on if they flame out of the AE tourney.

Won't matter...can't beat SBU.

It could be a quick tourney come March.

Well, somebody has to beat SBU in the AE tourney.

The reality is... sbu's coach has come in and built a strong program.

Click's got it right... more than a half decade of being owned by the top teams in the AE.

At least BU is gone after this season, and is ineligible for the tourny

OT (sort of), but an Interesting article about Stony Brook's eighth-year coach and the rise of SB's basketball program:

This one doesn't bother me as much. Road game. No Hooley. They hit a number of shot clock beating shots. And no I haven't come to accept it, but this one felt different.

I dont know about that... Looks like theyre going to roll through that tourney. If Albany wins at Stony Brook its because theyre resting all theirnstarters formthe tournament and the game doesnt mean anything to them.

[UA'08]

I know Hooley was hurt, but 37 min for Iati. Come on man.

 

Idk who Iati was guarding last night, but there is no way he is quick enough to guard Watson or Irving.
