I will be there, probably the most convenient game for me to get to from my office. Should be fun!

Board has been quiet lately, so I figured I would comment in this thread. Anyone have any info on this game? Is it streaming anywhere?

 

SF(NYBKN) is 4-8 so far on the season and plays in the NEC. They lost their last game to St. Peters. For similar opponents they lost to NJIT 92-86, and beat Hartford 74-67. I guess it should be a decent test since it is on the road?

It's on the road...just win. KenPom predicts a 6pt win for us. According to KenPom they are one of the worst offensive teams in terms of efficiency at rank #321. On defense, they are pretty decent ranked 215. Compared to our rank of 106 nationally on offense and 124 on defense.

 

It's a road game so these are always tough...

 

They crash the offensive glass hard but are just average overall rebounding team. They stink at the line shooting 58% as a team and aren't much better from 2 or 3 point range at 42% and 30% respectively. For comparison purposes Albany is 31% from 3, 49.9% from 2pt range 69.9% from the stripe. *all numbers courtesy of KenPom*

Should be webcast on NEC Front Row http://necfrontrow.com/webcast.php/SFNY-2843/

 

Neither school has game notes out yet.

Cremo won the Mid major madness frosh of the week

[madDOG]

Random question, but does anyone know if Peter Hooley was in the Atlanta area this past weekend? I swear I saw him, or his doppelganger, in a restaurant here yesterday. He was with a large party, and I didn't get a chance to see if it was really him (or check to see if that person an aussie accent...lol).

He was in NYC during break I believe

Albany pregame story

 

SFC doesn't have much size - a 6'9" freshman, a 6'8" soph from Serbia, and a couple of 6'7" seniors.

Cremo not likely to start

And yet from the same article

 

"There is a chance that Cremo could be in the starting lineup Tuesday night"

Figured it was a longshot but the dude looked just like him

They start a guy named "Gunnar" and he only averages 4 points a game. That's just not right.

I'm guessing that's "injury start" vs. "taking over someone's starting position." To me it doesn't make that much difference. He's going to get nearly a starters minutes coming off the bench.
