GAME #24: 02/05/2020--7PM vs Binghamton

[nysteve661]

Decent effort vs UVM but the drought, free throws, and Lamb with over 30 caused the loss.  That is 8 straight to UVM.  CB has found a way to turn regular season loses to UVM to big wins in AE tourney vs UVM in past years but I think the talent gap is getting too big for that to happen anytime soon.  Next 5 games are all winnable.

Hopefully there's no hangover from the Vermont game. Bing had a bye this weekend and should be well prepared for this game.

Let us not forget the Bearcats beat Stony Brook in Long Island.

Gotta come out and get up on them early. Don't want to play even or from behind. Defense and rebounding will be key.

Exactly, need to play smart, avoid turnovers and foul trouble.  Pretty basic

Cameron Healy latest to join UAlbany injury list but will likely play, getting his hips realigned

Few surprises halfway through America East basketball schedule

Frusico in the 1st half!!  Thought I would only see that on Senior night.  Good move CB.  Several assists, no TO's.  Ckark with 2 fouls, Healy is banged up.

Anybody home?  Lol.  What a strange half.  CB with makeshift lineup out there due to the MASH unit he has.  Perfect timing for the bye this Saturday to heal some guys.  Rizzuto showing us something.  We do have 4 airballs I counted on 3's.  Frusc did well.  May be back if Clark picks up a quick 3rd.

Healy not warming up for the 2nd half.

[nysteve661]

No way Clark should have fouled that guy.  The 2 points is not as important as Clark fouling out in crunch time.  Of course our announcers do not comprehend that.  Also don't think they have mentioned Healy out in 2nd half.

Edit:  made my point.  4th foul

Ugly ugly ugly game . But it's a win. Healy hurt his back and only played 6 minutes. Clark in foul trouble all game. 

Nice job winning an ugly game. Have a full week off before Hartford. Need to get healthy and continue to improve.

Mr. de Sousa, outstanding game guarding Sessoms and running the point for most of 2nd half!  But bro, 1 of 7 from the line? Does Bassett work with guys anymore?

Wasn't able to make it tonight. How much did Fruscio play? 3 assists in s relatively close game?

Played 4 minutes in 1st half when Healy went out with injury and Clark picked up 2nd foul.  I think his 3 assists were all on 3- pointers.  Found it odd Dempsey did not realize he is a walk on and would try to press and see if the kid could handle it and maybe get a turnover or two.  When Clark got his 3rd and 4th foul, CB used de Sousa at the point.  He is a bit loose with his dribble and long arms have the ball far from body and again Bing did not press.

With UMBC beating Hartford tonight, 70-59, UA — at 6-3 — moves into a third-place tie with Hartford.
