Lowell roared out of the gates, starting the year 5-1, before
dropping 11 of its next 12. But ... there's hope. They just went
into Binghamton and pulled out a nice eight-point win despite
13 and 19 from the kid Bruce (!) and 26 from Show, who did
nothing here.
Thomas is my favorite non-Seawolf player in the conference. Just
a blue-collar worker who uses his body and the rim so well to
score inside despite being just 6-2. Think about that a 6-2
post guy. I don't care what league you're in; that's tough to
do.
We've won each of the last nine contests between the teams by
double digits; of course that's skewed by the Warney years. Even
last year though, we handled our business, in part because we
rained threes on them in both contests 11 makes in an 11-point
win here, 11 more in another 11-point win there. I think we
could do work inside against what's an undersized lineup, but we
haven't shown much of an inside presence either. Could we see
more of Petras, with seemingly no answer in the paint for him?
Not all the time, but I hope they aren't afraid to feed him in
the post, and he even has a nice little jump shot. Jake! Who'd
have thunk it, right?
We could be anywhere from 4-2 to 1-5 at this point. I think
we're 3-3 on the way to 8-8 or 9-7.
Should we worry about this freshman class? And recruiting in
general? The noobs aren't doing anything at this point, with
Long and Mac on the bench, and minimal production from Olaniyi
and Ochefu. I know they're just freshmen, but they aren't
exactly trending upward (and neither are the sophomores
Almonacy and Garcia).
Seawolves by six here.

Intellectually I know in a one-bid conference there is still
plenty of time left, but as everyone has pointed out here lately
a variety of things just don't seem or feel right this year. If
you don't come in first or maybe second, you just have no shot
of hosting a championship game so final standings likely don't
matter that much for all the upset-minded teams. For everyone
else, if you luck into or improve into a hot streak in March you
have a shot, which is probably the best you can hope for SBU at
this point.
Freshman? Yeah, I'll admit pre-season and very early on I
thought we would have two, maybe even three, frosh who were
contributing and in the conversation for all-frosh team (which,
frankly, you've got a shot at in this conference if you play 10+
minutes and score a few points each game). But lately we got
nothing among that group. Still over a month left...and I guess
three more years.
Just not much rhyme/reason from the sidelines in terms of
rotations and playing time. Seems a lot of the experienced
players are putting up "oh-fers" (or close to "oh-fers")
frequently. Here's hoping SBU shows some glimmers of improvement
in what should be a game they can handle.

looks like he's in warmups.
we are turning the ball over left and right. i think we have
bad hands. 4 TOs from sturdy. we got scored on in a coast to
coast buzzer beater layup, to tie the game at half. in other
news that gym is silent.

So far it looks like they are in some type of fog going through
the motions. Sturdivant cant hold onto the ball , bad on the
free throws again no improvement there . We lose this one we
are in trouble .

Sturdivant needs to sit. 4 great passes down low that have been
muffed. Glass hands.

This team is so hard to watch this year.. Sturdivant is doing
the same thing last year. Starts the season off strong only to
fall apart mid season.
