[alum73]

Campbell made 2 pressure FTs.  A ray of sunshine.

Headshot... Good night maac

Totally mad at myself right now. I made the note on the first post noting the early start time and TOTALLY forgot about this game. Even had the day off. UGH.

I did catch the last minute and a half (saw the two missed FTs before Healeys DEEP 3). I guess the team got up big, then got down and then pulled it out. Solid effort!

I can't see how anyone can be down on this team. Heading into AE play I think we're starting to round into form and we're going to have a winning season in the AE. This ain't Gattuso football team people!

[nysteve661]

Whew!  Finally finished a game.  Let's shock UVM !

[Eli]

UA finishes 4-1 against the MAAC. Would have been 5-0 if we didn't have Iona as our first game and had them after our guys had a few games. Definitely would be 6-0 if we had LCC on the schedule. I haven't been to the LCC forum in a while but I'd imagine the 'MAAC is better than AE' posts are at an all-time low? I'm sure Vermont and other AE teams took their lunch money too.

Couple observations. First, really good for these kids to get the feel of a solid road win! Second, the offensive lulls kill me and some of it seems like Brown decides not to call a play and just let them play.  When that happens I feel like Clark just tries to do everything himself and forces stuff. Maybe I'm wrong on that but it just seems like when they go into these lulls there is very little ball movement. Third, they finished! It was really nice to see them finish strong.  Healy with a huge three and Campbell with the clutch free throws.  Still some mistakes to clean up and the offensive lulls to figure out but definitely improving, especially the last two games. 

[Eli]

Anyone have the attendance for this game? They had like 850 on Saturday so I'm guessing they had like 500 at this game?

Thanks. I guess it hadn't updated yet when I was going through the box score.

Outstanding win . Great way to battle back. Campbell played well,  especially in the first half. Need to continue to improve . Dont love the fact we get Vermont right off the bat. Hoping to keep it close to continue to gain momentum.  

The team has really improved over the last two games . Kudos to Eli and company who kept the faith because I did not see much improvement over the first 10 games.

We'll still probably be up and down but should continue to even out the peaks and valleys... They are learning how to win.

I agree, maybe it was some midseason rest, but they looked much more agile and in midseason form tonight. I was impressed with our offensive sets and movement off the ball. Defense still needs work ... .

For whatever it's worth, and for whoever is interested, Niagara offers the game replay on demand for free on their site (link provided at the top of this thread). Please be advised that there is no video for the first 18 pregame minutes while the announcer does his pregame talk.

Follow the game on radio; strong start with fade at the end of 1st half.  Gutsy finish, I wish my crystal ball can tell me if we will ensure a season of such finishes!

[godanesgo99]

I've listened to some bad play by play guys before. Some major homers. This guy was terrible. I would have rather listened to Joe Buck and Tim McVarver do the game...
