Before you get all worked up about the recent stretch, let's
look at the schedule ahead. After this one, we face the four
worst teams in the AE (if you take out us ... ;D) so it's
possible ... POSSIBLE ... that we can string together some wins
here. KenPom, FWIW, has us winning the next five. But that's
just a website spewing out results based on statistics. We've
watched this team. Nothing is guaranteed.
I think everyone should be realistic about the lineups going
forward. We're not going to abandon what we're doing and give
the kids a majority of the minutes. That said, we're all
clamoring for at least a slightly bigger glimpse of the
youngsters, especially Ochefu, recently with McKenzie and
possibly with Garcia. I don't think 12-15 minutes for any of
them is a crazy maneuver where we're upsetting the apple cart.
Especially with Chef and Mac, I feel like they've shown enough
to warrant it. I was hoping that Garcia would be farther along,
but of course he's getting his legs under him.
I love the Hartford game because of the potential Attia/Petras
matchup. They're the two biggest guys in the league, no?
Hartford's coming off an impressive win up in Durham, with the
team going 11 for 20 from deep and shooting 55 percent from the
field overall. On the season and for the conference slate as
well, they're behind only Vermont in terms of PPG, FG% and 3-pt
FG%. As we've discussed ad nauseam in this space, their and many
teams' success depends on whether the three's going down. The
Hawks are 18 for 64 (.281) from deep in their losses and 53 for
113 (.469) in their wins. I'm too depressed to compute those
numbers for us.
The key point total is 70. They're 6-0 in conference when they
score more than 70, 0-3 when they don't. I chose a more notable
number, but you can actually bring that down to 62. Hartford has
scored 61 (us), 56 (UMBC) and 53 points (UVM) in their AE
losses, and topped 75 in all but one of their wins.
I'm happy for them though. It's been a real bad stretch for
them, but Gallagher has them pointing in the right direction.
They should be a top two or three team next year with almost
everybody back; maybe even challenge for a tournament bid. But
for one night, if you were there for it, I'm in agreement with
the students – HUCK FARTFORD.

Pull a Joe Madden- mix it up and start MacKenzie, Garcia,
Olaniyi, Ochefu and Yeboah.

Attia hasn't really hurt us, in part because he's always in foul
trouble. He's pretty limited offensively also. That said, he's a
good big for this conference.

Dare I say, in the small world of AE hoops all the games on
Saturday have interesting lines:
UNH@UA, tied at 5-4 and in the thick of that 3/4/5 battle in the
AE.
Bing@Maine, Can the winner move/trend up and out of the dreaded
cellar and 8 spot?
UVM@UMBC, opening a new arena and can UMBC make some real noise
in the standings only place it really counts?
our game...is Hartford really, truly, actually near the top of
the AE for once or can SBU show some signs of life?

I'll go with probably the safest picks in each game: UA, Maine,
UVM...and Fartford.
