The whole beat-a-team-three-times thing will be tested ... and
I've never bought it. I read somewhere that the team that swept
the season series has a 72% chance of winning the third game
too.
I've said this two times before – Hartford can be had on the
glass. We've been +7 and +9 in our two games. Can we do that
again? The problem is that we collected 26 offensive rebounds in
our previous two matchups, and that's only translated to 16
second-chance points, which is the same number of points that
Hartford has on 11 offensive boards in the two games. Gotta do
better than that, boys.
Ellison was very ordinary in our first battle, but he gashed us
in the rematch. We have to make life a lot more difficult for
him, and I think that's where Elijah comes in. He has the speed
and physicality to stay with him. Ellison killed us going
downhill and by knocking down seemingly every mid-range jumper
he took.
Meanwhile, we were a combined 11 for 56 from deep against
Hartford. 11 for 56! That's 19.6%. We've shot it pretty well the
last couple games, so here's hoping it continues. We're 17-4 on
the year when we shoot 40 percent or better from the field, 3-8
when we don't. If we get three happy, that number can really
come down. We're going against the team that was BY FAR the best
in defending the three, holding teams to just 25.2% shooting
from deep in conference play, ahead of us in second at 29.1%.
While Hartford doesn't really have a Healy who can light us up,
they can get a jolt off the bench from guys like DJ Mitchell,
Romain Boxus and Michael Dunne. They're all better than 35% from
deep. I'm not sure we have that kind of shooting depth.
I'm feeling a lot better about where we are after the last few
games. Gueye is really starting to assert himself, and we've
seen him dive toward the rim and get the ball delivered to him.
Get the defense moving and thinking, guys. Do that and guys will
free up, whether cutting in or from the outside. Foreman's shot
selection has been better. He's gone to the rack more. Latimer's
hit some big shots. And of course Elijah is back.
I don't know about us giving the six, but I like our chances to
finally solve Hartford here. But it's mid-week, SBU in the
middle of the virus stuff ... hopefully the crowd shows up and
does their part.

Good analysis as usual Checkmate. I feel pretty confident about
this game.

I can't help think that this has effectively been demoted to be
a neutral site game now. Not sure if Las Vegas got wind of
this, but I'd say even money now.

Line is up to 7.5. Very interesting. The way we have had
difficulty scoring at times, this doesn’t seem like a double
digit win to me.

didnt we just sweep albAnY three times this season???
(just like writing that) ;D
i'd call this game flat-even, the way Hart has played and the
way we have, and with Ola not 100%. GO SB

Thanks Checkmate.
I've got my tickets and I'll try to be extra loud.
Hoping for another good game. Good luck SBU.

Gonna watch this one. Could be the last game of the season for
our guys, but I got a feeling we'll get at least one more after
this. Go SB!!

If this team goes 0-3 vs Hartford, they should be humiliated.
Pathetic effort so far. Kids should have some pride.
