UMBC leading Vermont by 11 points with 7 minutes to go.. will be
such a waste if we lose in Albany

How long is concussion protocol? Hope Lamb plays. Never want to
see any player out with injury. But if he is out, there is no
excuse not to beat this Vermont team without Lamb.

I think the opposite. I don't think we're anywhere near as good
as we think we are. We keep struggling against bad teams. We
should have blown out every other team we've played in
conference so far by double digits if we were legit. Instead we
need a huge rally to beat Maine, and OT to beat Albany. Plus we
let two of the worst teams in all of D1 (Bing and UNH) hang
around for a half against us. I'd love to think we have a team
that's capable of winning the AE and upsetting somebody in the
NCAA tournament, but it's hard to believe that when it takes so
much effort to beat bad teams.
We have yet to play Hartford or UMBC at all yet. Either could
beat us. We get our first crack at UMBC next week. Thinking
about going to that one.

while all of that is certainly true, i do like that we can play
from behind.

We obviously have talent, but we're young. Yesterday was a
differrent kind of game for us, where we were out-rebounded,
which is a rarity. They killed us on the offensive glass last
night. We were sluggish to the ball, and even though Akwasi was
double-digits in rebounds, his flexibility and quickness hasn't
been the same since his injury. Maybe it's that darn brace
that's restricting him.
Last night's problem, has been our problem in all of these close
games. We haven't been moving the ball well for large portions
of the game - a lot of our possessions are these one-pass and
shoot possessions. How many forced shots did we take last
night? Lost count after a dozen. When we move the ball around
or when Cornish drives to the whole and dishes, that's when our
offense clicks. Young team, solid team, but Coach has to get
back to basics with his team, when we get in that launch mode.
Agree that we're still finding a way to win these games
(certainly a positive), but I'm afraid that this
come-from-behind style of play is going to bite us in the arse
sooner rather than later.

UMBC looks good... not dominant good like UVM with healthy
Lamb.. but good enough that I am guessing our two games will be
a split.. each holding serve at home.
