mbb 2019 Game #4: 11/19/19 - 7PM vs SUNY Potsdam

[UAalum72]

Search for Lulka's replacement begins

Out up to 4 weeks, high ankle sprain. Shafer with possible torn labrum.

Potsdam (3-0) counts as part of a multi-team event for UAlbany. The Danes will play three games this weekend at the Quinnipiac tournament. The NCAA allows a fourth game against a non-Division I to count as part of the MTE, and the entire four-game week will count as only two games against the regular-season maximum of 29.

The game notes list Rizzuto as the 5th starter which would have de Sousa at the PF spot. I'd be curious to see that lineup.

Canisius did defeat Bucknell a solid MM.

Bucknell only lost to vermont by a couple of points

See Lauderdale get blocked so easily?  Can we ever get a big who can put the hammer down with authority around the basket?  Uggg

Halfway through the first half and UA has taken 1 shot that wasn't for 3. Pathetic against a smaller D3 team. Sit everyone and use the next 5.

I'm assuming that's a coaching/game plan decision...

Am I the only one watching this crap.  We are worse than last year.

[nysteve661]

OMG.  This is painful hoops.  This is junior high play.

What, give them all the opportunity to lower their shooting percentage? I get that the 3 is in style in today's game, but this is unsustainable and unwatchable. Pound the ball inside. Drive to the hoop. Collapse the defense. Then take the open 3s.

I'm not a fairweather fan, and I'll watch and go no matter if they win or lose, but part of me just wants to give up on the season and go watch a *vomit* UVM or *puke* a LCC game.

I'm making a point about the prep on this team.  No heart.  No soul. No inspiration.  A fish rots from the head.

I coach a 5th grade team, and this has been, by far, the ugliest half of basketball I have ever witnessed

Refs aren't great but our effort is sad again. I vastly overrated this team. We'll be lucky to finish the season .500. We are not good.

And once again, another season where no one on the floor gets fired up about the poor play and gets in someone's face and says " let's go, get your head out of your ass".  

That Potsdam FT defense is stellar, lol.  We can't even do that right.

Isn't that the coaches job?  To instill leadership in his players and to get the team motivated? 

[Eli]

Our FG percentage is considerably higher than our FT percentage. That's inexcusable.
