Postseason

Didn't Vin Baker play at Hartford? Hasn't helped us that much...

Vin Baker works at Starbucks now.

 

At the end of the day, I don't see how rooting for SBU helps our program at all, but at the same time, our program/conference prides itself on academics and character, so I couldn't fault someone for rooting for Warney. Kid is a stud, and has been at the losing end of the deal several times at UA's expense - in heart breaking fashion. He deserves and has earned his time to shine. Hoping UK wins, but if SBU pulled it out, it would most likely be another great 1st round game - such is March.

 

I do hope though that we do real well in our tournament - not a massive recruiting chip, but additional exposure and free basketball to get our team to gel for next season. Plus, I wouldn't want the careers of the seniors to end on that Hartford note.

For those clamoring to host a home game on the cbi... Take a look at lcc attendance. Let's dispense with the notion that this tourney is even remotely economically viable... Run nichols out there with Andrews... And cremo. Let them get game time.

I read that article. Evidently, on track to be a manager as he's part of their manager training program. He was bad with his money and his heart failed him (when he was with Boston and NY)...

 

Point of the matter is that rooting for SB because one of our leagues players might make it to the NBA does ZERO for Albany and the AE. Baker balled out for a good 5-6 years in the beginning of his career and I don't think any AE school (not even Hartford) saw any benefit from it. Warney going to the NBA will do zero for this league and probably even them.

 

Siena's Kenny Hasbrouck 'made' it to the NBA. By made it, I mean he sat on my teams bench (Miami Heat) for like 3 games.

 

As others have said, I couldn't care less about SBU and Warney...if they don't score a bucket, that'll be sweet.

No more chance of playing Siena as it appears they lost tonight if the update from yahoo was correct (it has been wrong lately) and I didn't care to listen/watch

TU says Siena lost. Drew 2,000 at the TUC.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not jumping up and down at the prospect of Stony Brook winning and NCAA tournament game but I don't follow those who think tournament sucess doesn't help a program or the conference.

 

Good conferences send teams to the tournament and they win games. Bad conferences send teams to the tournament and they don't win games. We would like to be in a good conference.

$iena lost to Morehead State, 84-80.

 

FG %: 50 MSU, 52.7 LCC

3PT %: 33.3 MSU, 45 LCC

FT %: 87.5 MSU, 65 LCC

Rebounds: 35 MSU, 26 LCC

Turnovers: 16 MSU, 19 LCC

Steals: 16 MSU, 8 LCC

 

LCC was doubled up on the offensive boards but lost the game at the line.

Once again, UA's men's basketball team is playing longer into the season that LCC's squad. How many years in a row has this trend been happening now?

Finally a real attendance number and not season tickets sold.

I'm with the group that likes to see conference and SUNY teams do well. When I was in school everything was DIII. This year there are 2 SUNY teams in MBB NCAA and 2 in WBB NCAA. For the state

and for the system and the conference....I like it.

 

Oh, I think the LCC TUC game official # was 2,061....don't want to short them.

Wow, shocking, the LCC fan base couldn't get it up for Morehead. Sad Sad.

[danstep]

IMO, the only way things improve for the league and that includes UA is when any of our league teams WIN games....NCAA tourney games...I hate S.B. a ton and still feel we would have beaten them AGAIN, but, we blew that chance. The only way our league moves up in the eyes of others is to win big games...that is my point about somewhat rooting for S.B....I just don't like this matchup against KY

[UA'08]

The America East has cracked the top 20 in conference RPI once in the past 10 years. Vermont won a game in '05 and the league took a b-line down hill right after that. If there is going to be a team to get the first win since then, I'd prefer it to be us.

I read a comment from one of the stooges over there that "attendance 2061... pathetic for sure but still more than a home UAlbany conference tournament game"...evidently an LCC education isn't all that it's piped up too be.

Siena fans are some of the dumbest around. Every time I go over there I close the tab just shaking my head.
