We can say that we're still jockeying for position, but
realistically, we're looking at a tough first-round road test no
matter what unfolds over the last couple weeks. We're
effectively three games back of Albany with four to play, and it
would take an incredible collapse from Hartford to fall all the
way back to five, not to mention a surge of momentum for us.
Hopefully, though, we're trying to turn a corner here, and to be
playing our best basketball going into March. Granted, a home
win over Lowell and squeaker at Maine aren't exactly these
momentous confidence boosts, but we'll take anything at this
point.
Binghamton's now a game and a half back of eighth-place Maine
for the final conference tournament spot, AND Maine swept the
season series. So it's tough row to hoe right now for BU.
However, if it has any designs on sneaking in, they're going to
need this one.
I'm a little surprised by how poorly Bingo has fared this year.
Bruce is a nice guy in the middle, Rodriguez is a 1,000 point
scorer, and Show is capable of some big nights (although I think
he's such a gunner). A little wild card who has entered the fray
is the kid Stewart, who barely saw the floor against us the
first time, but has since had a stretch of three straight
double-digit nights, and a fourth game where he went for 9
points. And then there's another freshman, Andre Odero, who went
for 14 in their last outing against UMBC, hoisting 13 shots in a
season-high 25 minutes.
So it seems like BU is trying to figure some things out as well,
and that includes a youth movement akin to ours with Olaniyi,
Ochefu and McKenzie.
How about Bingo's most recent loss to Maine – 13 for 40 from
three. 40 of their 71 shots from deep. That is something.
I worry about this one. BU didn't play well against us, but in
the times I've seen them otherwise, they've looked all right, in
particular when they absolutely took it to Albany early in the
conference season.

this is all we really got left this year. we could split the
next few games and it wouldnt matter. we need to play our best
in the AE tournament. specifically, the later rounds- if we
even get there.
i dont think we are catching UNH, not with the games ahead. 6th
place is a reality and then its likely UA or maybe even
hartford, BC, etc.

i know im a downer this year but if i'm ANY america east coach,
i go into the SB game like this- pack in the D and let them
shoot outside; if they penetrate against a zone (?) good luck;
if the drive the hoop then foul; charge into the paint on every
possession; empty the bench and 3/4 press for as many minutes as
you can; keep bigs in both keys for easy boards; just score more
than 55 points.
even if SB gets off 30 longballs and sinks 10, you'll hold them
to 10 free throws and certainly under 60 total.

Really surprised that Binghamton has fared as poorly as they
have in the AE. I think they are better than Maine, UML, and
maybe even us. Believe they are underachieving overall, and
we'll see how they come at against us at home, with not much
left for them to play for.

I'll be busy so I won't watch. It'd be nice to sneak out a win
against a rival SUNY school, but that's really all we've got
going for us here .

I feel like we’re going to stub our toe tonight. BU is better
than its record.

From what I saw in the second half, looked like two evenly
matched teams and the guys in green made a few more buckets.
Can't say I got anything more than that.
