The first Saturday night tip time of the year! I'm looking
forward to it, and hopefully the area makes a night of it also.
This has been a nice challenge for us in the past, with this
being the fourth straight season we've faced the Bears in
non-conference play. And although there's some familiarity and
we'll see many of the same faces on the court on Saturday, I'm
still not sure what to make of this Brown team.
The core group of Anderson, Hunsaker, Howard and Choh have
really elevated the level of the program, helping them hit the
20-win mark for the FIRST TIME EVER last season. Mind you, they
started playing basketball at Brown in 1900, only nine years
after James Naismith's class played 9 v 9 at the Springfield
YMCA. So this is truly uncharted territory for the program –
actual expectations!
Their chance to repeat the feat took a big hit in the offseason
with Desmond Cambridge transferred to Nevada to play under Steve
Alford. There was speculation that Cambridge's younger brother,
Devan, would follow him but he chose Auburn instead. The elder
can't quite shoot like his new coach but he's still pretty good,
having led Brown in scoring (15.7 ppg), blocks (1.7) and made
threes (76) a year ago and won conference ROY as a freshman.
That Ivy League degree though.
It was a tough hit for Brown but it's not a death knell. This is
still an excellent nucleus that should allow Brown to vie for a
spot in the Ivy's upper half. Anderson has seized the mantel as
Brown's top option and then some, playing 37 or minutes in all
but one of the seven games he's played in this season. He's
going to do most of his damage from the outside, as will
Hunsaker. Choh is an undersized forward who will use his motor
to be in on every rebound, which was clear last year when he led
the Ivy in boards and was named All-Ivy second team.
Some milestones of note: Otchere needs four more blocks to reach
100 for his SBU career. He's a distant second to Warney in
career blocks here (276) but is ahead of him in blocks per game.
I also added the Olaniyi point watch above. He should hit 1,000
sometime during conference play and has a good shot at breaking
into our top five all-time as a senior – which is crazy because
I still don't view him as this guy you feed but he's been so
steady for so long.
Yale really beat us up inside with Bruner and Atkinson, but
Brown doesn't have those kind of bigs. They got blown out in
Lowell without Anderson, but how do you explain a 20-point loss
at Navy and a 21-point loss at Sacred Heart with him? Well, they
went 15 for 70 (.214) from three in those three losses, and
they're 42 for 111 (.378) in their five wins. Hand down. Man
down. Let's get after it, fellas. I really think Brown needs a
special shooting night to come out on top. It would be nice to
get this one with Hofstra, Providence and Virginia on the
horizon.

a veteran squad for sure. i remember when speith's brother was
on the team.
thanks checkie! yes, you should have your own blog, year round,
for SB Bball. and it should be linked on the athletics site!
at the very least you should be a frequent guest on the radio/tv
broadcast, particularly pregame where you can cover the
background.
i will miss the game due to prior engagements but dogs eat bears
71-62.
GO SB

I already consider Checkmate as an SBU beat writer, but a blog
is a great idea! Wait, this is sort of a year-round blog
already, right? Keep up the good works Checkmate, and remember
us little guys as you traverse up the SBU blogging org chart!
Re:Brown, some head scratching games for them to date, but
agreed, rather big game tomorrow night, with 3 tough ones after
this on the horizon for us.

Stony Brook has a very tough OOC schedule coming up. They must
beat Brown tonight otherwise, losing 5 in a row is quite
possible.

Ha ha, you guys are funny. But when you consider the pedestrian
Newsday coverage of the team, then yeah, this is what we’re
looking at.
Re: the importance of tonight, KenPom has us losing the next
four - close ones to Hofstra and American, by double digits to
Providence and Virginia. So yeah, gotta win when we’re supposed
to. We should be dogs in every game unless we somehow pick off
one of the power teams and gain the upper hand on American.

Gotta say I’m shocked to see we’re not even favored against
American

Providnece was losing by 12 to Rhode Island last night . We have
a better shot beating them than Hofstra.
