First off, there's a good chance that UMBC will be without
Lamar, who's risen from a reserve to a key piece of UMBC's
success. However, he hurt his ankle during or after the Albany
game, and has missed the last two. I wouldn't mind if he took a
few days to heal up.
We know all about the guards, who are at least in the discussion
with TBH/Duncan and Nichols/Cremo for best backcourt in the
conference. Lyles is capable of monster nights, like the
34-point effort he had on Saturday against Maine – which helped
him secure AE Player of the Week honors. He's had four games
over 30 this season, including a 31-point night at Arizona in
November. I think it's one of those things where you're happy
with him getting 20 but don't want him to have one of those
outrageous nights. He can score anywhere from in close to
downtown, and also, he's killed us from the line even if it
hasn't yielded many wins. Maura is exactly what we need – a
floor general who can shoot. They'll be on the floor for about
34 minutes apiece on Wednesday.
But they need a supporting cast. Akin has recently emerged as a
force inside for UMBC, going for 9 points and a career-high 10
rebounds against Maine in a career-high 27 minutes. Pair that
with his 8 and 8 night against Binghamton and he earned his
first AE Rookie of the Week nod. Based on what I've seen, he
isn't terribly gifted offensively but is an athlete and gives
them good energy underneath. That's enough for me.
I thought we had a great first half defensively against Albany,
and I won't even complain about the second half – Nichols got
hot and we stopped scoring. We have to defend the three here.
UMBC averages more than 28 three-point attempts a night, and
rightfully so – they're making them at a 40 percent clip, so
about 11 per game. Look at those numbers from their top four
scorers – yikes. So, as you might have guessed, that's how UMBC
lost 83-39 at Albany last week. They went 2 for 20 from three
and got manhandled on the glass, 40-23. Get out and defend and
we have a chance.
By the way, we beat UMBC 83-39 back in 2013, holding them to 10
second-half points and finishing on a 69-16 run. We were
actually down 23-14 at one point in that game. Think about that.
If UMBC wins, it will be their first win at our place since
2008.

Jay Greene and Brian Dougher had some great duals when we
played UMBC . More than once they beat us especially at their
place . Both guys have moved on and UMBC is rebuilding a
respectable program . Could be a tough night again for SBU .

"Lyles and UMBC should be a fun team to watch" is kind of where
my head is at with SBU right now. Hope it's a good game. There's
also the fact that this is still the AE and there are 8 games
plus playoffs left.

we were abysmal for 15min. then we came alive for about 90sec
(mostly yeboah) to tie. he's 7/7 at the line and 2/5 from
three.
hey what's that thing called where BC takes the ball and throws
it from one player to another?

Why did Boals stop with the trapping that worked so well getting
them back in the game and giving the team some needed energy?

That’s the play out of the timeout? That’s what was drawn up?

Watching this team is pain...
I think I need to just stop. It's a lost season anyway.
