UALBANY MEN’S BASKETBALL

 

Danes have time to prep for LIU

 

By Pete Dougherty

UALBANY AT LIU

When: 7 p.m. Thursday

Where: Barclays Center, Brooklyn

TV/Radio: NEC FrontRow (streaming), WTMM 104.5 FM

UAlbany’s Marcus Jackson said his time management has improved since he started college. With no classes, he and the Danes can focus on LIU.

ALBANY — For college basketball players, this is the most wonderful time of the year, and it’s not because Santa filled their stockings with Air Jordans or NIL bonuses.

The University at Albany returned Tuesday from a brief holiday break to get ready for a Thursday night meeting against Long Island University at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

The best thing about being back on campus? No classes. Students are gone until mid-January.

“It’s a perfect time, honestly,” redshirt sophomore guard Justin Neely said. “We’re still in-season, the semester just finished up, and all we have is basketball. You work out, get extra lifts in, practice. You have more time to get some recovery and film. It’s a great time right now.”

Coach Dwayne Killings gave his Great Danes (7-6) three days off after their 89-73 loss Friday at South Florida. They practiced Tuesday in Albany and headed to Brooklyn on Wednesday.

“For our guys, now it’s a chance for them to be professionals, like pro athletes,” Killings said. “It’s just basketball. It’s a chance to really get better.”

UAlbany’s second game of the season at Barclays Center — the Danes lost to Temple 78-73 on Dec. 10 in Brooklyn — comes in the middle of a four-game road stretch. The team closes out its nonconference schedule Tuesday at Harvard, then begins America East play on Jan. 6 at NJIT.

With no other students on campus, the between-semesters respite means the players and coaching staff will have plenty of time together, both in Albany and while traveling.

“We’re a close-knit team,” sophomore Jonathan Beagle said. “It’s fun hanging out with the guys and being able to just play basketball. We get to lock in on lifting and basketball practice and trying to get better every single day and trying to reach our full potential as a team.”

“Nobody being here, what else is there to do besides be with each other?” redshirt sophomore Ny’Mire Little said. “We definitely bond more, see each other more, try to come together more, stay longer in the locker room. We can do more stuff longer because we don’t have school.”

“When I came in here in my freshman year, my first semester,” sophomore Marcus Jackson added, “I was like, ‘I’ll be good, I’ll be able to handle the school, the basketball. I’ve played basketball my whole life.’ Then it hit me right in the face. My time management was awful. That was something I learned. I cherish the times we don’t have any classes. There’s a little more personal time and time to spend with the guys.”

They will be on the court together Thursday in the Brooklyn Nets’ home arena, where LIU (1-10) awaits. The Sharks’ lone victory came Nov. 24, an 83-68 triumph over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

LIU, which has dropped six in a row, has three losses against teams in the top 100 of the NET rankings: Florida International (6), Miami, Fla. (61), and Rutgers (84). The Sharks also have lost to Pepperdine and UCLA. UAlbany is ranked 223rd by NET and LIU 347th.

Columbia is the lone common opponent between UAlbany and LIU. The Danes defeated the Lions on Nov. 11, 78-75, and the Sharks lost 10 days later, 77-67. Both games were at Columbia.

Feel lucky to be down by only 4.  Very sloppy.

I kept wondering if UAlbany would have a sustained run during the game .... had to watch the entire game for the answer.... a run and gun game by both teams ... we lucky that LIU ran out of gas....

[ctdanes]

Ended on a 25-1 run. LIU ain’t great but a w is a w 

[Clickclack]

Just gone done watching...Thomas is an insane ball player...today operating at break-neck pace imposing his will. The pace at which this team plays is crazy. Top to pace team in the entire country. A win is a win...end the year with a winning record. I'll take it.
