On the surface, you might think that UNH has something cooking
this season – five wins last season and already eight this year,
and the core guys will be back for one more year, even two. And
for a program that has next to no basketball tradition, I'm
happy for Bill Herrion. Maybe he has something.
If you read up on UNH, there's one word you keep hearing – ugly.
Playing ugly, winning ugly, we're tough, we're gritty, we
battle, etc. They're hanging in there with what they have
though.
Guadarrama's developed into a nice little player up there. I
recall him being more like that offensive lineman who's on the
basketball team to throw his weight around, but while he isn't
somebody who can carry them a la Tanner Leissner (now in
Germany's Bundesliga), he's proven that he can produce in the
paint and on the perimeter. He's also an ironman, having played
35 or more minutes eight times this season. I'd love a guy like
him on our team.
And then there's this kid Sutherlin, a product of mighty
Sheridan College in Wyoming, where he spent the last two years.
There can't be more than a few Minnesotans all time who have
split time between Wyoming and New Hampshire for college. Maybe
he's it. But if you look at him ...

... he looks like a solid piece. He had a 21-point, 20-rebound
night in UNH's win over Bryant, and another 22 in their triumph
over Bryant. Most of it's going to come around the rim. He's
taken just 11 threes and shoots just 56 percent from the line.
Per one story, he got no D-I or D-II offers out of high school,
and UNH was his only D-I offer after two years of juco. I'll bet
that Herrion is pleased with having looked past his flaws. More
on Sutherlin:

The rebounding numbers (14th nationally in margin) are
impressive albeit slightly deceptive. They outboarded measly
Curry 59-23, Maine Maritime 49-22 and barely D-I Central
Connecticut State, Bryant and Maine by wide margins. And they've
reversed the shooting numbers, defending much better and
converting more on their own. And look at the assist numbers –
223-154 on the year.
There is a legitimate chance that we sleepwalk into this one.
I'm not saying we lose, but with the win in Burlington, the
SportsCenter highlights, and all that, I hope that we understand
that it's still early January and we have to take care of
business at home. Dream scenario is we do that and that UMBC
knocks UVM down another notch.
Lastly, is radio really back?? It looks like they're lined up to
do home games this winter. I do appreciate the postgame wrap and
interview, and the play-by-play when I can't make a game.

The question is, when does home court start to really buzz
again? School not is session doesn't help, but would be nice to
get into the high 2000's at least for these conference games. (
I just looked and it said we had 2500 for Norfolk St. I am not
buying that for even a second)
Now that we know this team is good, it would be nice to see them
develop a nice professional identity where you know they are
going to come in and put the hammer down and take care of
business against the teams they should be able to do that with.
Save any conference losses for games against the top third of
the league.

I expect another underwhelming crowd. We lunatics are aware of
the team's every move, but the community at large has no idea of
what's going on. I mean, they're running a Seawolves Anytime
campaign where you can get into all games for just $10 - like
ALL games for a one-time payment of $10. Granted, you're in an
end zone and your back is killing you, but you're in the
building. Yet it's still not full. I wonder if you have to buy
the whole year to get it. Hmmm.
UNH getting 12 seems like a few too much, but I think we win,
which is all that matters.

This has always been a problem with SBU and sports as far as I
can remember (exception being the Warney years; specifically,
2016). Personally, I love going to games, but since my son
lives far from me and my girls and my wife aren't big sports
fans, it's much easier to just flip on ESPN+, rather than
looking like a lunatic sitting alone and yelling at the refs.
Given that, I still attended about 6 games last year, but only 1
this year so far to date. Also, Newsday does a non-existent job
of promoting games, and their coverage of completed games is
unusually weak. Intercession, New Hampshire, and NFL playoffs,
maybe we crack 1,700 tomorrow night.

Sure, let me know, CoB! I'm going next Sat (Albany) with my
son, and will definitely want to go to UVM and playoff games. I
live about 15-20 mins from campus, so distance never an issue
for me.

I really wish that the America East schedulers could guarantee
that the Albany-SBU games are at least in February.
Maybe I'm just a natural pessimist but I do fear the trap game.
I could totally see a scenario where UNH rebounds well enough to
gain some momentum. Let's nip them in the bud quick.

It’s very telling that UVM is giving 10 at UMBC. Retrievers are
way way down.
