If we win, does seven away wins get us a vote? If not, if we
beat Delaware and Hofstra at home, does 11-1 get us a vote? Whoa
whoa whoa. Careful now. The last time we started thinking about
polls we got shellacked by Holy Cross. So I'm not doing it.
Brown Bears. Brown Bears. That's the only thing we should see in
front of us.
A lot of these guys we saw a year ago when we notched a 13-point
win at our place. But familiarity breeds contempt, and they're
fully aware of the success that we've had this season so far.
Brown had a narrow lead about midway through the second half
before we raced out on a 10-0 run. Mike Almonacy hit 8 of 8 free
throws in the second half to ice it en route to, I'd guess, a
season-high 13.
Brown entered the season predicted to finish fifth in the Ivy
out of nine teams. Cambridge and Anderson are the names we
probably remember most from last year. Cambridge is coming off
an Ivy League Rookie of the Year campaign in which he averaged
17.3 points per game, the same average that Anderson, a
knock-down shooter, put up. But this kid Choh is interesting. He
was a limited contributor off the bench for most of last year
(including 20 largely quiet minutes against us), but by year's
end he was a fixture in the starting lineup, putting up 23 and 9
in Brown's season finale against Penn. He's come out as a
sophomore and he leads the team in minutes, rebounds and
assists. Both he and Cambridge are really active defensively as
you can tell by their block totals. From what I can tell, he's a
junkyard dog kind of player. I always liken smaller post players
to Jahad Thomas from Lowell, who I loved and appreciated, and
maybe he's got that in him a bit. No real range, but will do a
little bit of everything to help the team.
It's important that we guard the three-point stripe here. In
Brown's four losses, they have shot a combined 23.6% from deep,
whereas they're close to 36% in their wins. They've done a whale
of a job running guys off the line themselves, with only three
of 10 opponents shooting better than 30%, and teams shooting the
three ball at just a 25.7% clip against Brown for the year.
One common opponent: Rhode Island. We won by 10. Brown lost by
20. Neither team shot it well, but URI killed them on the glass.
I won't read too much into that though. We're in their gym and
they've got plenty of firepower to knock us off.
In closing: Vermont alum and Rhode Island native TJ Sorrentine
is on the bench for another year with Brown. I hated that guy.
But man, he hit that one from the parking lot. The video after
it's a trip down memory lane too.

as always- bravo, checkmate. bravo.
i think we win. but the brownies are solid. our size and depth
should dominate the boards. and with our FT %, i say we win.
we really gotta ease off those fouls though. i know much of it
is how the refs call the game these days.

To me, this is a pick'em game. And you know how pick'em games
are decided - at the stripe. Our amazing turnaround as a team
in that statistic (76.5%) outshines Brown's FT % of 66.5. I'll
give us a 1-2 point win based on that; totally agree with
Checkmate's line.
This team continues to build confidence with gutsy wins, and
more importantly, gutsy finishes. We have learned how to be
unafraid when leads evaporate during the game of runs, and this
ability to finish games is just plain contagious at this point.
We are deep at every position, except possibly at PG, but
MacKenzie handled Manhattan's press fairly well. Although
Cornish has played very well the past several games, I am still
concerned about his ability to go 30+ between fouls, injuries,
and durability. However, with Moor's stock growing by the game,
I feel confident that we could move Olaniyi to the point, as a
3rd option, if need be. I think he's our next best ball
handler.

Otchere, Yeboah, Latimer, Moor, and Olaniyi on the court at the
same time?!! Hell yeah, sign me up for that! Cornish doesn't
need all those minutes if he can't handle it.

We are 2.5 to 3 point dogs today per Vegas. It makes sense. I
mean, can we seriously expect to stay unbeaten in true road
games?

All this information, but don’t forget the game starts at 2PM!
The start time should be stated in the subject 😉

Brown is solid, but I think we can win. I'd love to bring a 9-1
record and 7 game winning streak back to IFCU.

I think we're looking good so far. Too many early fouls though.
Gotta keep those down.
Also, are my eyes playing tricks on me or are we significantly
bigger than they are at every position? On my stream that's what
it looks like.
