MBB - Game 4 - At Quinnipiac - 11/19/23 - 2:00PM

[godanesgo99]

Quinnipiac lost to UMass 102-81, so their defense gave up 10 more points than we did. 

Maybe we have a chance to get back to .500 and 2-2? ESPN has us at 19.8% to win with no line yet available...

Just noticed this fun stat... Marcus Jackson still has not missed a shot in a game yet this season... 2-2 from 3, 1-1 from 2, and 2-2 from the free throw line.

Q projected with win. They do play tonight against Army...

[godanesgo99]

Pretty good first half. Up 7 at the break.

[ctdanes]

Team is a fun watch at least. Plenty of offense. Much better than past few years in that regard 

[Clickclack]

I'll take it...

[olddog71]

Looks like the old Danes have returned. Get a lead in the first half, and then let the opponent come roaring back in the second.

[UA1882]

Absolutely terrible coaching down the stretch.  Calling timeout and coming out with absolutely no clue.  Could not figure out the pick and roll all half.  Terrible coaching.  Atrocious.  

[godanesgo99]

Well that was a collapse. Defense was a little better today, but the last 10 minutes fell apart with so much foul trouble.

[Clickclack]

Tough loss...up 10 most of the game and blow it like that. Ouch ..this one stings. 

[dslyank]

Gave up 85 points mostly in the paint. Only one 3 all day by quin. Easy layup after easy layup. How’s that “a little better defense today?”

[godanesgo99]

Defensive efficiency was no where near as bad as UMass or SH, was similar to the Columbia game. Opponent was held to under an effective field goal percentage of 45% for the first time this season. Our defense just doesn't force any turnovers and the team playing fast, means more possessions each game, which leads to higher score for both sides. 

So yes, the defense was a little better for the game before the foul trouble really set in, and the D fell apart over the last 5 minutes.

On a different note... Marcus Jackson missed 2 free throws during the game, ruining his perfect season, but he still hasn't missed a shot from the floor. 5-5 from the floor on the year, and 5-7 from the line.

Our MBB games was an after thought for the Times-Union as posted in the back of the sports section combined with the St Rose WBB game with UVM:

LOCAL COLLEGE ROUNDUP

 

Great Danes, Golden Knights fall

 

SPORTS STAFF

UAlbany’s men’s basketball team led most of the way at Quinnipiac on Sunday afternoon — but the Great Danes would fall at the end, 85-82.

Led by Sebastian Thomas and Amar’e Marshall with 19 points apiece, four Great Danes scored in double digits, while Marcus Jackson led with nine rebounds. The Bobcats’ big advantage came in the fast break, outscoring UAlbany 20-8 in transition opportunities. 

“I thought Quinnipiac rebounded the ball the way they needed to late in the game,” said UAlbany head coach Dwayne Killings. “We didn’t execute a couple of times towards the end ... we have to be able to be more sound defensively,” he added.

In women’s basketball, UVM cruised to a double-digit victory over visiting Saint Rose, 60-44. Both teams had a slow start to Sunday’s matchup, but the Catamounts would outscore the Golden Knights 11-7 by the end of the first quarter — setting up a lead they would maintain throughout the game Saint Rose battled to the end, however, outscoring the Catamounts 10-8 over the final six-plus minutes.
