This would be a big pick-me-up if we can find a way to pull it
out. Not sure I see it though.
Cremo's hit a bit of a lull, scoring eight points apiece in
their last two games – an 11-point loss at Vermont and
incredible 44-point win over UMBC upstate. Nobody's worried
about him or the team though. To have three guys up near 15
points a night is such a luxury. If Akwasi has an off night or
gets into foul trouble, we don't really have a plan B, do we?
In our last meeting, UA did everything that they usually do to
us ... clamp down on defense, control the glass, take and make
free throws.
We need the community and we need the students. Big Saturday
night game.
I think we learn a lot about our guys tomorrow. Are they down
and out like a lot of us? Or can they rise to the occasion in
front of what we hope is a formidable crowd at IFCU?

Talking with another season ticket holder today we did come to
an agreement, although the best we could come up with was
either:
A) UA blows our doors off and wins by, oh, 30 or so.
B) SBU pulls themselves together, inspired, and wins a tight one
by hitting one of those buzzer-beaters they used to pull off.
Probably a lot of you are thinking the same thing. No telling,
and yet feels like a game that will solidify either who they are
or what they might still be capable of.
BTW, as always thanks for these previews Checkmate. Great stuff.

Thanks. It's tough to come up with something new about UA. We
know all the players and know what they're all about.
My feeling is we either fall behind by a lot early and crawl
back into it only to lose by 8 ... or are neck and neck with
them for 30 minutes only to crumble and lose by 8. I'm hoping
that our guys surprise us here, but if you line our team up
against theirs, it's difficult to see where we have any kind of
advantage.

Prediction- SB up by 6 in the final minutes, makes every single
FT down the stretch, and wins by 12.

LOLOL, I love it! You forgot to include the 2nd part of this -
I get a position on the staff as "Assistant Head Coach, in
Charge of Practice FT Shooting", for my innovative approach in
getting this FT thing turned around ;D
And yes, thanks Checkmate for your invaluable pre-game work!

Yes Checkmate s info is always appreciated thank you. On paper
we are slightly bigger than Albany and should dominate on the
glass and in the paint but we know better . If we fall behind by
anything more than 10 points I don't see us coming back with the
team we have . We need to open a real lead and hold it if that's
possible.

First legit crowd of the year. Thank goodness.
Wish that Cremo misfired on that three at the end of the half.
Nine feels substantial; six insubtantial.
Pretty good to be in front without anything from Yeboah to this
point. I hope we can replicate the intensity that we played with
in the first half.

Brutal. Fourth on Akwasi with 16 left. Here comes UA. A million
free throws coming.
