We handled them pretty well here and I suspect we will take care
of business up there. UML draws very few fans and they've
dropped three straight at home – Maine, UNH and Binghamton. BUT,
then you have their win in Vermont where they put up 93 points
and that's all the reminder you need to stay focused.
I love the kid Jahad Thomas – a physical kid who somehow defends
bigs on the block and leads the team in points, rebounds and
assists. He's got a nice left and gave Warney fits. He had 19
and 6 in that game, and matched a career high against Hartford
on Wednesday.
We've been blessed with some brawn underneath with Jameel and
Rayshaun. UML doesn't have the kind of size underneath to keep
from being pushed around and zero presence at the rim.

Cannot imagine the wolves tripping up in this game (or, frankly,
any of the upcoming four leading to a rematch with UA), but UML
has displayed moments when they get hot and take down bigger
foes. Thomas is a tough presence down low and gives the
impression he can handle both Warney and McGrew at the same
time. At clearly 6'2" (from seeing him here and noting he is
MUCH shorter than our bigs), he's a brute.
Add to that the winter doldrums (which it appeared SBU suffered
from in the first half last night against Bing)....
Good luck SBU!

its always good to beat a conference opponent by 20. but here's
what i saw- UML hung in the entire first half. we broke it open
by almost 25 in the beginning of the second half. then we
started taking unnecessary 3s and missing most of them. UML hit
a few and went on an 11 point run, cutting the lead. we still
had a lead, but you have to look at this strategy and question
it.
thrower got a lot of minutes today. and sturdy continues to
improve on the floor. i think woody shot well again. walker
continues to be a high intensity spark plug for us. GO SB

Solid win, all 5 starters hit double figures
UML is not a bad team- Duquette has them competitive
Woodhouse is really becoming better with each game. His 3PT
shooting will be an asset going forward this year.
