UAlbany Has Plenty To Play For in Bracketbuster

This game is close to home but I have both my kids today with the wife away for the weekend. So, if you see an Albany fan behind the bench with two small kids say Hi! Go Danes!

What radio station is the game on? Wasn't the game moved to another station for today's game?

20 win season, most hadn't predicted that.

[UA_MA_2000]

20-win season. Anyone watch the game and able to provide insight on the win?

You're right, alum73. It was nice to see UA pick up a win against a MAAC team. And it looks like UVM will be posting a win against Canisius.

2-0 against the MAAC is a pretty good day.

 

Fairfield isn't a bad team to get your 20th win against. First 20 win season since 2007 I think they said.

 

No offense to our seniors but a lot of the credit for this win goes to "next year's" lineup. Going into this game I thought there would be a big speed difference between our backcourt and Fairfield. I didn't notice one, especially when DJ Evans was on the floor. I thought he might have been the quickest guy out there. Whatever John Puk and Sam Rowley ate or drank today I hope they order it by the case for the next couple of games. Great to see our frontcourt carry us offensively.

THIS was a very good win...couldn't listen or watch as I couldn't find where to do so but Fairfield on the road is a quality win.

 

20 wins...

[UA'08]

This is a nice win. Couldn't watch or listen, but 3rd best win rpi wise.

What explanation is there for continuing to lose to UVM/SBU and BU? Obviously there is some talent here...Brown should be proud that they won this game but it makes things even more puzzling why we can't beat good teams in our league.

Blonde girl and a boy in a blue shirt, front row? You were right next to me, but I'd already left home before you posted, so I didn't know.

Maybe the best AE teams are better than MAAC teams?

 

Black still must not be completely healthy. At one point WB told Mike he was going to keep him on the bench for as long as he could.

Was at the game. Our team did some press which was something new. We went inside a lot and Puk had a great game. We didn't shoot well from three, to be honest I'm not sure how many threes we attempted, didn't seem like a lot but haven't looked at the stats yet. Both teams had many turn overs, we even had a stretch of 3 or 4 in a row and that same time Fairfield also turned it over a ton. We played a short bench but saw some new combinations. Fairfield looked like a talented team but their shots were just not going in.

Not sure if it has anything to do with his health or how he felt but I did see the trainer give him an energy bar or something to eat mid game.

MsGDG, It looks like the observations you made about the game are reflected in the actual stats: threes attempted and made, turnovers, inside game, etc. How was the attendance at the game? Were many UA fans there? I cannot find the attendance numbers in the stats. Hope you had a good trip back.
