What a great game. An important win in front of that crowd. I'm hopeful wins that like that with that kind of energy in the building will build that fan base, specifically the students.

 

Great game plan and incredible team effort. I know a handful of his points came down the stretch from the line but Cremo w/ 16 points in 14 minutes. Solid. Hooley a double double.

 

Just a lot of fun.

This is kind if a big deal... Great numbers this year.

The craziest stat line of the night belongs to Richard Peters. I honestly cannot believe he only had 4 points, 0 rebounds, and 1 block. It felt like he did SO, SO, SO, much more. That seriously underscores HOW important he was from the 19 min mark in the 2nd half, on forward, once Rowley picked up that terribly called 3rd foul.

Peters came in and simply DOMINATED Warney for a good 5 minute spell. Then he got that phantom foul call.

 

But, those 5 or so minutes...completely changed the game. At that point, SBU was limited to Sekunda and Woodhouse as their offense AND defense.

 

A large part of that was because Peters played some great D on Warney.

the very best thing Rich did was he frustrated the heck out of Warney....big time!!!!

once again coach Brown shows why he is the BEST coach in the AE hands down....he is one damn good game coach

Dallas' reverse layup just made sports center am. Had a side by side of him and Dr. J haha.

Nice bit of ESPN run for UA and the Dallas this morning.

Wilkin's blog says attendance was 4,578, SRO and 40 over capacity

 

Gotta be the first sellout ever on a weeknight?

Maybe, but there were some big crowds after the first championship. I might do some digging.

 

Edit: A lot of the old box scores aren't on line any more. I found a crowd of over 4,300 for a Columbia game, but that was on a Saturday. Otherwise I don't think there have been any sellouts at SEFCU except for BPG and some Conference Championships.

Yeah last one I remember that wasn't BPG or a championship game was the Bucknell home opener. Would like to see 4K+ for senior night and the playoff games.

You are correct, the news story says the 11/11/2006 Bucknell game that unveiled our first banners was a sellout, but again was on a Saturday.

Standing O on SportsCenter!

Big Apple Buckets game story Albany Ends Stony Brook Streak, Fires Psychological Shot

 

"the mental edge in this series clearly belongs to Albany.

And they know it.

“Peter Hooley said it best late in the game during the last time out Stony Brook called (with the game decided),” Albany coach Will Brown said. “He looked at everybody and said, ‘There is no celebration. We do not celebrate this win. We’ve been here. We’ve done this.’ I said, ‘You’re darn right. And nobody better come out of the crowd, either.’ We’ve beaten them in meaningful games before. "

The crowd was amazing again. Everyone talks about how hard it is to play well in Patrick Gym, but I have to say that I am sure that NOBODY wants to play at SEFCU when there is an at or near capacity crowd. We all want renovations and improvements to the venue, but whatever happens I hope they do all that can to keep the environment the same.

 

Best part of the night? The entire pep band putting down their instruments and chanting NIT NIT NIT!

They need to find a way to keep the bleechers hollow. I think one of the things that gives us a nice tool during games is the foot stomp. Which brings me to a point...I appreciate the football team, etc. showing up...but please learn how to do a defense chant in the SEFCU. Don't get faster as you chant it, it becomes near impossible to stomp your foot or even clap your hands towards the end. It's a useless chant at that point. Also, I know someone here has a daughter who's a cheerleader...please tell them that when fans (me, click and others in 200) start a chant, to join in on the rhythm chosen and to NOT go off on their own tangent and basically over power the fan (me, click and others in 200). This didn't happen last night, but it has happened a few times this year. I know they can hear me because I'm loud as hell. They definitely hear the section when a few of us get going. Get behind me/us and I/we will lead you to victory!

 

 

(okay, I got a little carried away there hahaha)

 

 

As for the NIT NIT NIT comment...I didn't hear the band do it but I heard some girls next to me in section 200 do it. I LOL'ed. It was great.
