I am a little disappointed with the ticket policy for the
finals. I did not have season tickets but I went to about ten
games this year counting playoffs. Unfortunately I won't be able
to get to the arena on Thursday to buy tickets because of work
and I doubt there will still be tickets available online.

I thought SB's guards did a good job defending the perimeter.
Hartford did not have many open three's. Credit to them for
making so many contested shots.
I just noticed this yesterday, but SB is much better this year
handling the full court press, and half court traps. Last year
it was a real problem for them.

Some people think just because we're not playing UA this should
be a cakewalk into the NCAA. NOT!!!!.. Vermont got stronger as
the season got deeper and is peaking at the right time. They are
to be feared and if SB doesnt play at 110%, we're screwed.. I
said this last year about Vermont. They started the 2015 season
on a low note only to get better as the season progressed
because of their rebuilding year. Now in 2016, they're better
than ever. I am very leary of these guys. KenPom has us at 80%
to win and win by 8. I say it's more of a 50/50 and a draw!!!!!!

I Agree. Its not gonna be easy. We need our A game!!

I of course sympathize.
with that said, a sign of the times that you cant get tickets to
an SB bball game. which is a milestone for the program (and far
from the first time it's happened!). so in a way this is great
news. just trying to soften the blow... ;D ;D

My wildcard players/matchups to watch for SBU are the reserve
guards. Appeared Nyama tweaked the leg/knee near the end of the
game? Hope he's good to go. SBU got a solid 15 mins from
Mitchell--good ball handling, tough defense, a couple of big
3's, to 1 TO. Really glad to see him contribute that way.
Thrower got about 2 mins, so very limited, but looked to me he
was on board to play some tough defense on Pancake while he was
out there. I could imagine a similar need against UVM--give us a
couple of tough, physical defensive turns against Ward, for
example.
It wasn't long ago that it appeared there was a noticeable drop
in SBU energy/production when Warney or Puriefoy left a game.
I'd say that's gotten better. As the cliche goes, in playoff
basketball every possession counts. With UVM's talented guards I
think we're going to need these three to be ready and rock solid
no matter what their role is Saturday.
Can never predict these games, can you? Both SBU and UVM are
capable of losing this one big. My instinct says it will be,
however, one of those gut-wrenching, back-and-forth slugfests.

This could very well go into OT Saturday morning and he who has
the ball last wins. Scary game for both teams more so for us,

Certainly more so for us. Vermont's been there before, and if
they don't get there this time, there's always next year. Aside
from O'Day, they'll all be back. For us, if not this year, when?

I think both teams will go into Saturday's game with a high
level of confidence. Last year's AE finals got off to a very
slow start. I don't expect that this year.
While SB will lose a lot of talent to graduation this year, I
think overall the program will be fine. Hopefully Sekunda will
come back 100% and with Kam and Woodhouse that gives the team
three 40% 3-point shooters. And if Cambell and Garcia turn out
to be good inside players I would think SB will be in the top 3
or 4 AE teams next year.

Campbell could be interesting. I have heard he has 3 point shot
to go with his size.

Not sure if it's allowed by the NCAA but I would use Saturday's
game as a recruiting tool for all SB sports. A sold out arena
would be the perfect weekend for a campus visit.
