MBB vs. Vermont 3/9 5pm

[Jammaster]

Awesome win- start to finish! Congrats to all involved.

 

As an aside—watching the feed, I noticed a lot of empty seats, or just thinly populated sections. Makes me wonder if people on campus had low expectations and were less inclined to go? It would help build the program's fan interest by winning (or being competitive) in some of these big games during the season, too.

Vermont joins SB in whining... as if they have never played at home ..oh wait because playing at Patrick Gym in the finals has worked out so well for UVM against UA...

Vermont coach John Becker on Albany's home court advantage: "Hey, it's huge. It's 2 years in a row (UA beating No1 seed). Money well spent."

Fabulous. A big round of applause for Gary Johnson. He is some athlete!

Let's fire Will!! ......(sense the sarcasm)

 

Your $100 is in the mail... You can't leave it can you? One person said to fire him... Program before all else...Congrats to will, the other coaches, kids and university but the road isn't done. This was huge but one more game.

 

LOL. I can't leave it? Love it! How about you ask the 99% of the other people who read but don't post on this board what they think.... now I'll leave that at that.

 

Onward to CT or Long Island.

 

Yes, I'm sure you took a scientific poll at the "family" picnic... Now is a good time as the head of the "optimist zone" to get your pound of flesh... Yes, onwards! :-)

Hooley with an incredible tournament so far...simply putting this tea on his back...What an amazing player and still two years left.

I'm sorry click but she is right. You guys hammered this team and the coach all season long so deserve a little ribbing now. It's all good.

 

I wish Peter could be this good consistently. His first half was unreal. 22 Peter Hooley, 19 UVM entire team at halftime.

That was sooooo much fun to watch. I thought the ESPN3 commentators were UVM plants. StoneyBrook HS gym isn't big enough to hold our fans much less both! They should give us a whole side of the stands 1/2 & 1/2 damnit!

[DanesRGood]

Oh and UVM fans whining about the refs or home field advantage is pathetic. You were outplayed. Deal with it.

I'll say it before and I'll say it again...I, as a fan reserve the right to light myself on fire at will...if I want to panic, I'll panic...I understood her comment and why she said it.

LOL! Absolutely agree but it's not healthy and you have to be able to handle the crap you will get for being that type of fan. As I said, it's all good. It's actually entertaining to me.

I'm just one guy...who gives a crap what I say on a message board...yeah, I'm impulsive, normally a few hours after a loss I'm fine...lol

UVM upset by Albany in America East semis

 

Home or away, the University of Vermont men's basketball team can't seem to solve Albany in the America East Conference tournament.

Maybe Siena will reach out to Commissioner Huchthausen on our behalf? We always play at the TUC because the SEFCU is 'too small.' So they must have the same thought about us having to play at Pritchard..right? Who cares about 'fairness,' it's all about capacity!

I thought attendance was pretty good, guessing 3,600-3,800. Remember at an event like this blocks are reserved for all teams, their fans won't show up for the other game in the session. UVM probably had 1200 there, but the baseline on their end had few other than the band and cheerleaders. Our student section was just about full.

That's it. I'm flying every time we play Vermont. Well played and I'll take Clicks rag from him and douse myself on fire too.

Very happy about this. One hell of a weekend for all Dane sports. Next weekend could be even better!
