OK everyone, home stretch.
Anyone else not sure what to feel about these games? You want to
be positive, but what players are even going to be here next
year? Not Sayles, Habwe or Christie. Roberts, Policelli and
Greene are four years removed from high school. I have no idea
where they stand academically, but might they be attractive
graduate transfer candidates, or is a step up to the CAA
satisfying enough? Roberts and Greene in particular have had
monster individual years. And Diallo's a 2018 HS grad too. Will
he be back? It's crazy what college basketball has become.
And it's not right, but doesn't more chaos increase the
likelihood of Heilbron pressing for a change on the bench? I
realize the odds aren't in our favor, but everyone picking up
and leaving, whether during the season or afterward, is not a
good look. And then you have past stars calling for a change on
social. Just not good.
UA's a mutant team too, but Dwayne Killings has done a great job
up there. They started the year 0-5, and 1-7, and now they find
themselves tied with UMBC for second place in the conference. So
there ought to be some fight in the dog Saturday night, whereas
we'll see what our energy level is like.
Going back to the state of college basketball, it does make you
long for where we were 5-10 years ago, with these games meaning
so much, battling for home court, familiar foes getting into
these physical battles. All-time, we're 33-31 against Albany,
with so many battles being decided by so few points. Who knows
when the next time is we'll face UA? I suspect we'll see a
couple AE teams on our schedule next year—Hartford's a ferry
ride and will need opponents as an independent, NJIT can't be
that angry with us as a conference noob, something like that.
Is ARob even available? And if he isn't, why isn't he? So many
mysterious comings and goings. I don't know what to think.

Policelli hurt his back last game. Nice win tn, we played loose.
UA really isn’t very good, except for Horton. Pav said on the
broadcast that Habwe, Sayles, and Christie all eligible to come
back for 1 more year, due to Covid.

That was a really fun win.
“Loose” is the right word, Old. The guys looked like they were
having a blast out there. A lot of grins, guys flying around,
nifty playmaking (14 assists on 24 made baskets is really good
for us). Sayles’ two big blocks stand out; everybody ate those
up.

I just got back home from the arena. Wasn’t planning on
attending but I had a free time slot and said screw it.
Glad I went though. For the first time, it felt like pre-COVID
level of attendance. Student section was fantastic, crowd got
loud at all the dunks and blocks. We are capable of this
homecourt feeling, just need it consistently.
Albany bricked a lot of threes but their offense was just
garbage for the whole game. How did this porous defense crush
them on the boards and hold them to a score in the 40s before
the lazy last possession 3.

I may be reading too much into this, but for the last 2
televised home wins, Geno has had assistant coaches speak on the
post-game, rather than himself. Also, in probably one of the
best 2 or 3 wins last night of the season (maybe the best, given
their severe short-handedness), no presser AND no quotes in
Newsday or online from Geno post-game. Also, a little
suspicious that assistant coach Rickard was missing at the game
last night too.
I'll start a rumor here, but has Geno been given notice?

"I'll start a rumor here, but has Geno been given notice?"
Highly unlikely considering how broke SB is. But we can still
dream though.

So much for my rumors! Rickard very ill. Excellent WUSB
interview, by the way!
