From the University press release: The Great Danes made 18 consecutive free throws in the game and went 18-for-19 (.947) from the charity stripe overall. UAlbany's performance from the free throw line ranks sixth in Division I history.

It was a thing of beauty, watching all of those ft down the stretch

CBS sports has us in the PIG vs. Mount St. Mary's, then on to St. Louis vs. Wichita St.

MsGDG, this is all speculation until the official announcement, though their #1 seeds are probably set. Everybody's guessing, especially Lunardi about placement of the lowest ten conferences.

 

I know they are all guesses now , I meant the locations. Are the seed locations set or do those change around as well?

A couple of things I haven't seen mentioned:

 

-I had thought Warney's size and speed would bother Sam Rowley but it was just the opposite. Sam was having a field day.

 

-JUCOS. I complained about them in the past but DJ and Gary Johnson have changed all that. They were fantastic today. Both of them will leave UAlbany having never lost a game in the America East tournament.

 

-AE Coaches. If Peter Hooley is going to play out of his mind after you leave him off the first team then please leave him off again next year.

 

-I like home games but there is nothing sweeter than winning a championship on a rival's floor. It just does not get old.

I don't think they do the PIG game any more for automatic bids. Looks like it's the last four at large who play in Dayton in the first round. Plus cal poly and mt saint marys are both 500 or less so irrelevant either way

 

Still happily eating crow. Now let's build up the fan base based on this and get asses in the seats in the regular season and get the community excited season long

There are four PIG games. Two are automatic bid 16/16 games. Just look at the bracket..

Coach Basset gets credit for his FT school he had with the team.

Nevermind. It was late. Too much wine

I would sign up for that in a heartbeat. So would Florida probably. The last time we played them they ended up winning the national championship.

Could not have had a better time yesterday at the game. Down six with Rowley fouling out, we managed to keep our composure and fight back. I was more confident in winning this game than the semifinal game against Vermont. Nothing better than getting it done on the road. Congrats to coach Brown, players, and the university. Back to back is never an easy thing to do! As John Becker would say, money well spent! I've been a critic of coach Brown in the past and I ate my crow last year, and knew he would some how find a way to get it done. Even down 9-0 to start the game I was not worried at all.

I can watch the Hooley step back three with Pureifoy falling to the ground over and over again. Someone needs to make a video loop of that!

[Phoenix]

It was Pureifoy who Mike Black blew by to drop in the winning shot in last year's tournament as well. He's a great player..and will likely only get better since he's just a sophomore..but it's been nice to have his number the past couple years.

Lundari just updated us as a solid 16 against Arizona in San Diego.

No the only location set is Dayton for the PIG.

The other 8 locations get 2 "pods".

A pod being a 4 team grouping 1-16 w 8-9, a 2-15 w 7-10 , a 3-14 2 6-11 or a 4-13 w 5/12

 

1 "principle" is they try to keep the 1 to 4's close to home.
