I actually think SB played better then I thought they would..
Woodhouse and Mitchel stunk it up
Petras, well is Petras
The rest of the team I thought was ok. I'm not sure why Boles
didnt use Sekunda more then he did.
Not much more to say except I am sticking with my 8 wins this
season.

I definitely take over on wins! How much do you want to bet?
Sekunda had limited minutes because he nowhere near in game
shape!

I will stick with 15 wins which may be a stretch. Poor shooting
and poor from the free throw line. With no real go to guy for 20
points this team will struggle. Best thing is the new guys will
gain experience this season and hopefully we see improvement in
2017-2018.

SB doesn't have a low post guy to rebound and man handle for the
ball. I did see flashes of Warney with Yeboah, even though he is
listed as a guard and not a foward. Petras and Campbell appear
to be useless as our go to big man..

I guess I'll put in my two cents as well, based on all the
previous comments:
--First, I think it's only fair to give big props to Nyama, who
I thought did an excellent job, both on O and D\
--Next, I feel that Mitchell always seems to get a bum wrap.
Credit where credit is due: he went 3 for 3 from the field, made
his only foul shot and played his usual good defense-including
drawing another one of his patented charges
--In my opinion, Yeboah is an all-around beast and bound for
stardom in the AE
--Woodhouse should, by now, understand when he's hot and when
he's not. He took some ridiculous shots!
--Coach B. obviously sees something in Iroegbu that I don't. He
was 0 for 7 from the field, and just kept shooting. I think he
performed similarly in the Farmingdale game. Why does he start?
--I would like to see more playing time for Saintel. He's a joy
to watch.
--Sturdivant got SBU's first double-double of the year-and add 2
blocks and 2 steals to that. He seems much more aggressive
around the basket this year, and I think he'll be a force!
--Disappointing night for Sekunda, but he'll be back
--HERE WE GO AGAIN. THE OVERRIDING REASON FOR THE LOSS, EVEN
WITH THE POOR SHOOTING PERCENTAGE, WAS INABILITY TO MAKE FOUL
SHOTS--A SEAWOLVES TRADITION, UNFORTUNATELY!! C'MON GUYS-RUN
THOSE FT DRILLS 'TIL YOU DROP!!!!!!!

This year is a freebie as far as I'm concerned. With next year's
recruiting class, we will be very good. Ochefu is going to be a
beast in the AE. I'm not sure about McKenzie or Corry Long but
Elijah Olaniyi is also IMHO going to be a steal.
Again, my biggest concern at this point is that the coaches see
nothing in Campbell. I was really hoping that he'd be a steal
and that, with his redshirt year, his game would elevate. He's
definitely not going to be a bruiser but you can't teach a guy
to be 7 feet tall. Again, if he was a talented 7 footer, he
wouldn't be here but I digress.

I was only able to catch the first half, but I would say I was
encouraged. Three of our starters were playing in their first
division I games. The team is only going to get better.
Also it seemed to me that Boals was giving the players to green
light to try to make plays on offense which I love. I thought
everyone was being aggressive off the dribble trying to get into
the lane. At times under Pikiell, players seemed to be too
afraid of making bad plays leading to a stagnant offense.
Granted the aggressive play last night lead to some wild shots
and turnovers. I think it's going to bode well for the team down
the line once roles get established.

We knew that we were going to take a step back. There was plenty
of evidence to confirm that last night. If we converted a few
more of the makeable shots, maybe we're talking about a
season-opening win. I saw a lot that I liked, guys. We're going
to compete every night.
First things first, I loved the defensive intensity. We really
got after it in the second half and made Columbia uncomfortable.
Early on, though, they had too many easy buckets, and obviously
shot it well overall. I hope that we can duplicate that effort
every night, particularly on the road.
Poor shooting night for us – I'm hoping it's a one-off. 35, 26
and 57 just isn't going to cut it. I was surprised to see
Iroegbu starting opposite Woodhouse and I'm hoping that's based
on faith that he can shoot it a little. I have to think he's
better than what we saw.
We had it at 65-all late. When we need a bucket, where's the
ball going to go? It starts with Woodhouse, but who takes the
shot? It looks like the offense is going to run through Yeboah
and Sturdy. In the second half, there had to have been three or
four straight possessions where they fed Sturdy on the block and
let him go to work. We didn't see that at all last year. He set
a career high in minutes and shot attempts, tied his best in
points, and notched his first career double-double. He'll have
to finish better – and he may with fewer trees (Columbia had a
fair share) – but altogether a good night for him in my opinion.
Yeboah seems like a junkyard dog type – average athleticism,
some ability inside, good shot, good motor. A few are ready to
anoint him and it's a solid debut for sure. We'll see though.
We saw more aggression offensively pretty much across the board.
Woodhouse looked for his shot more (still not enough), and the
same with all the vets. I was glad to see Nyama turned loose.
His energy, athleticism and perimeter shot are going to have to
be there every night this year. I thought Kam played well –
don't see how anyone could say he was awful.
Just 16 minutes from Saintel.
We won the rebounding battle. Love the work on the offensive
glass. Yeboah and Sturdy with 10 offensive boards combined.
Stage was a little big for Almonacy but he'll develop.
That Campbell and the two walk-ons were the only ones not to see
time says all you need to know about what Campbell's going to
contribute this year. Hopefully next year at this time he's a
contributor off the bench.
As for Boals and the coaches, I thought the ball moved well
offensively and we played hard defensively. Solid debut. A few
more makes and we're in the win column.

Good post, Checkmate. I saw a lot of plusses last night. In
particular, good ball movement on offense. Very few turnovers
and forced shots. A lot of open three's that I think the SBU
guards will knock down at a better rate than we saw last night.
Saintel and Yeboah will contribute a lot this year. I think
Mitchell will also play a bigger role, and played well last
night.
The SB fans need to step it up. Disappointing turnout.
