       Great time, but the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half were brutal.
       Hammer, make sure you show up at the Garden next time.

       Basketball can be a cruel game... we had a nice run in the first
       half... but that quickly turned around and LaSalle had a huge
       run to start the second half. We never recovered. We also fouled
       more than they did and I believe Warney missed a pair of free
       throws that were crucial late in the game. Nonetheless, I had a
       good time with a group of fans and perhaps we represented well
       relative to LaSalle contingent
       With all that said, I still don't feel like this is the team
       that can get us to the NCAAs... I like the parts but they don't
       they just don't add up right in my eyes... something is missing.
       Hopefully we can find out early enough...

       What team was better than Stony Brook last year? and the year
       before? and the year before that? has that gotten us to the NCAA
       in march? Nop...
       What I mean by that is that we may well be the best team in the
       conference right now... and we have been one of the better teams
       of this conference in OOC play the past few years but we still
       have fallen in the end... and even though the team we have now
       is great in comparison to the rest of the AE competition I still
       don't feel like this team is good enough to win on a "bad
       day"... I want our team to be capable to win this league on a "C
       or D" day because clearly we haven't been able to accomplish
       that in the past tourney appearances. Maybe I'm asking too much
       at this point. I just want Stony Brook to be leaps and bounds
       better than the league to give us a bit of insurance to win that
       championship that has eluded us for so long
       Don't mind me... I'm just getting a bit desperate. I just want
       our program to finally shine in the spotlight... Tired of
       Vermont and Albany getting the bids... GO SEAWOLVES!!!

       Lax. I will no doubt be at the next MSG game....I gotta say,
       today's game really pissed me off... WE must stop with all these
       turnovers and guys throwing the ball to nobody... We are our
       worst enemy... We are also better then LaSalle but we made too
       many mistakes to win this game... Another problem out on the
       floor is the lack of leadership. We need someone to step up and
       control the tempo. Where is Tommy Brenton when we need him
       !!!!!!!! Crying out load I am mad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

       Well, nothing has changed with SBU.  Here is how the rest of the
       season is going to go...
       1. Work the ball inside, let Warney dominate, play inside out to
       open up McAllister/Jackson/etc, get a decent lead.
       2. Pull Warney, put in Mayo.  Watch the lead shrink.
       3. Put Warney and Walker back in, get a bigger lead.
       4. Halftime.
       5. Pull Warney and Walker, put in King and Mayo.  Tell the
       opponent that they aren't allowed in the paint.
       6. Watch as the opponent doesn't listen, hits a bunch of layups.
       Lead basically gone by now.
       7. Panic.  Tell the guards to rotate the ball around the outside
       and chuck a desperation three-pointer with 2 seconds on the shot
       clock. Opponent continues to hit layups.  Lead now gone.
       8. Cotton-Eyed Joe
       9. Put the starting 5 in, opponent stops making layups.
       10. Lose by 8.  Place blame on one of the following: the
       officials, the new rules, a rough bus trip, injuries, the court.
       11. Hang another "Regular Season Championship" banner in
       Pritchard, visit the NIT. Watch Vermont on CBS in the NCAA
       tournament.
       12. Contemplate rooting for Haverford (who only lost to the
       "Franklin & Marshall College Dips" today by 10).
       Today was a joke.

       jaghatai, That really hurts!!!!! But so true.. Why is Mayo even
       playing and King is a disappointment this year.. Today was a
       joke.

       That was  a pretty bad game yesterday. That's  two bad
       losses in three games ( St. Francis ).   It was  a tale of  two
       halves. We looked  great the first 20 minutes then  stunk up the
       place in the 2nd.  Mayo and King look lost out there if they
       aren't fouling they just are not paying attention.  This could
       be a long season and we will lucky to win 20 games. I love
       Walker  he just gets better every game. He is like a Tommy
       Brenton  who can score. He is very athletic  and he is in every
       game.
       Anyway   they have a week off  then travel to play UNH .
       Hopefully  we will out   in 2013 and be 9-4 for VCU which will
       make us  us 9-5.

       I agree 100 % Seawolf97.. This team is a Doctor Jekyll and Mr
       Hyde this year  and I think the reason behind that is the lack
       of leadership on the floor. Help Tommy Brenton !!!!.. I think
       Walker could be the next TB as you stated and be a leader next
       year.. KIng and mayo are terrible and should not even be on the
       floor, They have been doing squat so far... We have enough
       talent on the floor to win games but the lack of leadership
       is/will kill us this year.. Thats how I see it..... I have been
       to every home game so far and the Brooks are clearly showing
       weakness on the floor on every game... Coly, Jackson should be
       taking charge and they aren't

       Hammer  I agree.  Some one has to step and be the leader  going
       forward.  I don't understand Mayo and King  they should be
       scoring underneath  at 6'9 they cant miss. Worst  case they get
       fouled  and go the  line.   Lets hope for better games ahead.
