2016-17 Men's Basketball Schedule

Really, if we continue to grow and invest, and we have proper leadership and vision,

we can be the legitimate flagship of New York State.

 

Don't pass up any opportunity to build and invest.

 

To that point, I literally could not care less if there are 500 less fans at a ho-hum conference game against Maine or something because all the LCC stooges didn't show up. By them buying season tickets, it's money in UA's pocket. Done and done.

 

I care. It's a lot easier to recruit with a full and boisterous arena.

It will be for LCC's superbowl. We only sell out or fill to capacity 2-3 games a year anyway, so just bring recruits in during those games (BPG, Albany Cup, Homecoming, etc.)

 

I doubt we will ever sell out for a game against the lower teams in the AE. And I'm fine with that. So who cares if LCC fans buy a bunch of tickets to Maine, Hartford, Bing games. I don't. The key is to have steady consistent attendance that is respectable in this league and you do that by winning, year in, year out, for 7, 8, 9, 10 years straight. We average a lot more even for the 'crap games' than we did 20 years ago, for example. That's because we've been successful for the most part in putting a winning product on the court.

 

You know what helps recruiting just as much? Facilities. It takes time...but in that time, I'd rather have a nice influx of cash from a bunch of eager LCC fans to help build said facilities.

So the Big Purple Growl game looks like it's Stony Brook.

[B9j2j6s]

Man I hate the fact that so many games are during the weeknights.

[UA'08]

What's the hold up on the non-Conf? I don't think I've ever seen the Conf sched released first.

Where was this posted? I wanted to cross reference the times, etc. and start putting it all in my calendar but alas, it's not on ESPN/UAlbanysports.com, etc.

My guess is UAlum72 heard it at the Across the Street Pub. Maybe written on a napkin.

Thanks. Interesting they would publish a story but not update the 'schedule' section under sports (where I was looking).

 

Still no times though...just gotta wait lol.

Game times have not been announced when the schedule has been released. Those have been announced later

[Eli]

So from what I can piece together in this thread and UAlbany's site:

Up to 25 games so far for the men. I'm assuming we have some more actual SEFCU games before Siena right? That can't possibly be our first home game, lol.

I hope it's not the first home game. With all of the changes announced so far: new traffic patterns on game day, video board on the scorers table, second big screen, etc. I hope they get a game or two under their belt to get the kinks out before a showcase event that will bring so many new people onto campus.

First home game , last home game or any home game in between I am not going to complain about finally playing them at home.

Plus got a chance to see $iena fans complaining about how weak their home schedule is . Just as I have said for years. That low level school cant replace Albany on their schedule. Albany should had refused to play them years ago if they wouldn't play a game at Albany's home.
