As dynamic as the backcourt has been for UA, a lot of its
success can be attributed to Brown's philosophy. They're always
going to be tough, physical and relentless on the glass (+7.5
for the year). And they'll kill teams by getting to the line
over and over and over (359-267 advantage on attempts).
Their schedule to this point has been pretty soft, but they did
with it what a good team is supposed to. As mentioned in a
previous thread, their highest quality win is a two-point
squeaker at home over Iona (120), and all but one opponent has
been outside the top 150 – that exception being Louisville,
which held off a UA surge to win 70-68 a few weeks ago. The last
two losses have been head-scratchers. Albany came from 20 down
to tie Hartford, only to have the Hawks ice it from the line.
UNH rained threes on UA to open up a sizable second-half lead,
and they held on late.
A year ago today (1/8), you may recall an incredible meltdown by
the Danes at our place. We trailed 70-51 with under six minutes
to go only to rattle off the next 21 points, fueled by
mind-boggling carelessness with the ball from UA. The guards are
the same, but I think Nyama was really a nuisance then, and we
haven't applied that kind of pressure yet this year.
Albany flat-out doesn't take or make many threes. They're
averaging fewer than six makes a game – compare with a
nation-best 12 for UMBC – in part because they're putting up
just 16 a night – compare with more than 29 for the Retrievers.
The attempts basically come from two guys – Cremo and Nichols –
who are plenty deadly from deep.
This just feels like a game that UA comes out hard and never
lets up. They need it bad, and we're very very lucky to have
escaped our first two games.

I said the same thing about Hartford, and was pleasantly and
happily wrong. But I go with down by 10 again!!!

well hartford is pretty decent this year- may be better than UA

I have no clue how this game will go, but I'm excited to see
some interesting basketball in a rivalry game at the very least.
The AE looks like anyone's game this year so far with nobody
looking all that impressive yet. I don't expect Vermont to
steamroll the conference like the pundits predicted.

Maybe a squeaker for SBU Wednesday night . I hear Albany's
defense leaves a lot to be desired . They will drive to the
basket on us and score or try and draw fouls. Something we need
to do in every game.

If the game is close down the stretch, the Seawolves will pull
off the victory.

Seriously. They also haven't gotten calls so far. Only five
fouls on Albany.
