Nothing about this series has been pretty of late. I mean, the
one up in Durham last month was flat-out ghastly, both teams
shooting 35 percent, missing a million free throws (21 for 41
combined) and squandering opportunities. We had the game in our
hands late, but bricks and turnovers cost us. The story of the
season really.
Last four games in the series: them 53-51, us 64-61, us 59-56,
us 59-58. All close ones. I suspect we'll see the same on
Sunday. New Hampshire has a way of mucking it up by getting on
the glass and to the line.
One guy not mentioned above is the kid Armstrong (actually, he's
23), who I feel like was pegged to be the third guy for them but
never could be consistent. He's gone the way of Sturdivant, with
his minutes being limited in favor of guys like Hopkins, Ogwuche
and Elijah Jordan. Armstrong played just three minutes against
Vermont.
Herrion spreads it out pretty well, with Leissner coming in at
35 minutes per game, and six others over 20.
What's interesting is that you look at their shot totals and you
have Leissner at 372 for a good reason, then Camara at 200 and
Hopkins one back at 199 despite playing 100 fewer minutes. I
bring it up because he's shooting a brutal 33 percent from the
floor and 29 percent from three. Yuck.
If we win, I believe we overtake UNH for the 5 seed in the AE
tournament by virtue of our win over Hartford; UNH has the far
easier schedule to end the year so I think they'd take it back.
But I don't think anyone's getting too worked up about whether
we're the 5 or the 6. But it's interesting that you're either
looking at facing the old guard (Albany/Vermont) or the new kids
on the block (Hartford/UMBC). I think I'd rather go with the
latter, but either way, I'm not very optimistic.

this might not feel like it, but its a big game. could be the
difference between drawing hartford or UA.

Try something different. Start each possession with the ball in
Yeboah's hands up top, where he can't be double-teamed and let
him create.
Also, start the best five- Yeboah, Olaniyi, UC, Saintel, and
Sekuna (maybe not top-five, but best three-point shooter).

We cant lose 3 in a row to end our season . Changes to the
lineup can only help.

Somebody tell McKenzie to start shooting? Also, looks like
Cornish is on the DL, with a sweatshirt on and at end of bench.

here's what i saw- in the first 10min, we built a nice small
lead by pounding the ball inside, only taking two longballs.
hitting one. we shot them without traffic.
then in the next few minutes, we played very little perimeter
defense, shot NINE longballs (missing all but one), and found
ourselves quickly down at home to 6-7 UNH.
BC is knotted up late with UA down in balto.

Tuning in for the last five minutes here. Kind of liking what
I'm seeing. We have a propensity for choking though, so let's
not have that happen today. I believe we move up to 5th in the
AE with a win.

Best overall performance of the year in conference play. The
freshman are coming along and the upper classmen stepped up at
the end. A road win at UMBC would be a big confidence booster.

It was a balanced win the new guys are coming along . Yeboah had
a terrible day couldn't score kept getting in foul troubles . I
think the refs are watching more than usual this season.

Big-time effort from the seniors. It was four of them and Yeboah
at the end. We are into the 5 spot now; not sure we can keep it
though. While we get UMBC and UVM, UNH gets a potentially
hungover Hartford team and Lowell.
We were terrific defensively in the last 15 minutes. Ty didn’t
fill up the box score but he was a difference maker on defense.
Basically Leissner had his way and nobody else did anything for
UNH other than turn the ball over. Fourteen of their 19
turnovers in the second half. That’s a season high too.
We saw some good things from Ochefu today too; a couple nice
lefty baby hooks and he was active defensively against a pretty
good frontcourt.
Cornish ankle injury but minor. I thought Mac and UC played
well. I loved Mac’s aggressiveness early, and UC led us in
scoring.
How about that free throw shooting?!?! Man, does that make a
difference.
