Easy to win a game like this when Albany played one of the worst
D1 basketball players - Suero - I've ever seen. The kid can
shoot, but plays no defense, doesn't play for rebounds, makes
stupid plays - one elbow almost knocked Dave Coley out of the
game - and even his teammates seem to hate how little he tries.
He's a joke to D1 basketball, and I wasn't the only one at the
game today who thought so.

That surprises me redwyn. I didn't notice he was that bad at
defense as you said. probably the choppy stream didn't allow me
to notice that. They need to figure out how they gonna play
defense. That was a terrible showing by Albany at the defensive
end.

Dominating win today ! For now Albany it seems was little
overrated and doesnt know how to play defense. Great W for our
guys -now they cant let up on intensity.

> Very interesting game today, easily the best on the AE
schedule. To me this looks like the classic case of offense vs.
defense, but there is also something else going on here. Albany
really wants to prove something, and I think how they start the
game will give a pretty good indication of their mindset.
Pressure is usually on the home team to hold serve, but Albany
keeps hearing that they are the favorites right now so it will
be interesting to see how they handle that!
> In a nutshell, defense must win it for SB, as long as they
don't go into a prolonged dry spell offensively. I doubt that
they can stop Suero, but to me, it's more important that they
don't allow all three of their top scorers to have their normal
games. Pace of the game is also important, in that a game in
the 70's clearly favors Albany. I really don't have a feel for
this game, as I just don't know enough about how Albany will
react, as I haven't had a chance to watch them yet this year.
For now, I'll say the home team eaks out a win by the score of
66-63....possible key players (not counting Dougher/Brenton):
Rapier, Coley and Joyner must all play well today, especially
Joyner staying on the floor and rebounding the basketball. You
also need someone from your bench to provide some scoring punch,
be it Hayes/Bracey/Jackson.....wouldn't be surprised to see
Rouse hit a big shot today; he's been very quiet lately, but has
played in big games before......we'll see.....

Well, clearly I am not a sage! You guys won, but there is no
way I saw you scoring that many points. I thought defense would
win it, and you did keep them under their average, but it was
your shooting that won the game as well. I guess the question
moving forward is can you duplicate some of the production you
received from the bench? You guys won't shoot the same
percentage, but the ability to make open jump shots needs to
continue if you want to contend. Bottom line, your depth and
inside production will keep you in the race.....and for what
it's worth, I still see Bracey having a role before the season
is over. I'm sure defense kept him out yesterday, but his
ability to score will be needed before it's all said and done.
