I can't help but remember how they handled us on our home court
last season. We felt good coming in, like we'd have to play
poorly to lose, and that's just what we did – ill-timed
turnovers, poor shooting from three, a horrendous night from the
line, and that was that. Just five made threes, and it's hard to
win with just five makes these days. Meanwhile Healy and Rizzuto
went berserk from deep, and UA was also able to pound it inside
to an otherwise irrelevant Kendall Lauderdale, who went for 17
and 9.
We'll face essentially the same team Saturday night – good
shooters, good guard play, depth inside even if it's
unspectacular, and a savvy coach.
They have had some curious results to this point though,
struggling to beat Maine and New Hampshire in its last two times
out, needing OT to beat the latter on Wednesday. They got taken
to the woodshed by Quinnipiac in November and have also lost to
Manhattan, Lehigh and Bucknell as well. I refuse to believe
those were anything less than a mirage. The coach and team are
too good to be taken lightly.
The numbers are there for Clark but I can't say I've been a big
fan of his game – too erratic, too turnover-prone, fills the
boxscore against bad teams. I never feel like he does anything
against us. I'm more worried about Healy, who is capable of an
unconscious shooting night, as well as Rizzuto, who has tailed
off of late but can be that wounded dog who comes in and drops
20. He had a big steal and score late against UNH to propel them
to win. Maybe that's just what he needs to get jumpstarted.
I wouldn't say I'm confident about this one, but hopefully
Wednesday's loss got us back in line the last couple days. This
is a big one – as all UA games are – but we have a chance to
seize a share of first place once again (assuming UVM beats
Hartford; they are SEVENTEEN POINT FAVORITES #takethepoints). As
I said in the previous thread, we'll have already gone into
Burlington and Hartford, as well as faced Albany at home. We'd
then be able to get fat against the dregs of the league over the
next seven – Bingo twice, Lowell twice, UNH, Maine, UMBC here. I
have to think 7-0 is in play although maybe we stub our toe
somewhere.
Keep an eye on our three-point shooting here. It's inevitable
that we'll take 25 a night, but Makale's proficiency has
overshadowed our otherwise subpar numbers in conference – he's
20 for 44 (.455), the rest of the team is 18 for 58 (.310).
We've been at or around 30 percent the last few seasons in
conference, which isn't good enough.
Should be a good crowd. Looking forward to it. And it'll be
great to celebrate Olaniyi hitting 1,000 – he'll get a great
hand.

Looking forward to this game as well. KenPom -10 is a real
stretch imo.

Things we have to watch - Albany will try and come inside on us
and score or draw the foul . They do it every year.
We have to make our offensive rebounds and not shoot and run
back down the court .
Curb the turnovers . If we get into the turnover range of 14-15
or higher we are in trouble.
This is going to be close we cant afford to drop two in a row.

Vermont rolls. If we win tonight, we’re even with UVM, UA and
Hartford. We’ll actually be in first with a 2-1 record against
that grouping.

Actually, we'll be in sole possession of 1st, with a 4-1 record.
Of course, we will have played 1 more game than these other 3
(they would all be 3-1).

Ah my fault. I was going off memory, which is known to suck.
