Big news for this one is Neely will be back and on the court. Good game to bring him back in.

For what its worth Potsdam recently/in process of MAJOR program cuts [Including its pre-eminent Crane School of Music] due to massive budget shortfall aka rosebuds?

The Times-Union reported this earlier this fall, which makes me wonder how Clarkson University, St Lawarence and SUNY-Canton are doing.

This is the draw for me. I hope he's at least close to healthy and in condition. 

[godanesgo99]

Not sure I'm able to make it, but being an upstate guy, growing up going to the Jerry Welsh Potsdam games in the 80s at Maxcy Hall, I have a soft spot for the Bears. If we were ever to lose to a D3 school, this is the only one that wouldn't break my heart. I'd rather a 100-36 spanking of the bears, obviously...

Definitely want to see Neely and how he looks. Hopefully no one gets injured in this schedule filling nonsense.

 

[Clickclack]

Neely moving great....great to see him out there, hit a nice baseline jumper and strong drive just now. 

[Clickclack]

At halftime going about as expected...huge lead. BTW, Little's corner 3's are money...he clearly spent a lot of time putting up shots. 

[Clickclack]

Potsdam putting up a better game than LCC...wonder who'd win if LCC and Potsdam played.

If Carm on the sidelines, Potsdam

[olddog71]

Just one minor complaint. Even against a Division III team, UA made fewer blocks. 

[UAalum72]

They finally got the stats up on the scoreboard

Just a guess, but if you look at the disparity in points in the paint it might be that the Bears had a lot more opportunities for a blocked shot in tight quarters. Or more likely I’ve got no idea what I’m talking about. 😂

[UAalum72]

Well, at least we shot 77% from the foul line

The reason that I mentioned the number of steals is because it seems that UA never outblocks our opponent. I can't remember the last time we had more of them than the others on the court. With a lower-ranked team facing us, I thought this game might be the one time blocks were in our favor. Again, my concern is only very minor.
