2011/12: Game 22 Stony Brook at Albany
DIR By: ecasadoSBU

Stony Brook (14-7, 9-1) travels to Albany (15-9, 7-3) for a big
match up in front of a soldout Big Purple Growl crowd. This is
an important game to win with Vermont right in our backs. The
6th man is going to make this a tough matchup so I'll say that
Stony Brook wins by 4. I have my doubts, but I hope the SB
defense prevails just as it did a month ago.

Granted the atmosphere will be tough to play in, this a game
Stony Brook should win. Albany has given up 68 points to Bing
and 76 to a Plummer-less UMBC in their last two home games.
Stony Brook should be able to put 70+ and I don't think we'll
give up 70. But, there haven't been many games this season I
haven't thought we should we win.

Certainly this is a game we can win. Albany will give us their
absolute best shot and their crowd will be juiced.
We have a veteran group so I am not concerned with our play.
What I fear is that the Danes may be able to
elevate their play ( potentially even on the defenseve end of
the court ) and be a very difficult out.

This one could get really interesting. If Albany comes out
flat, that big crowd could turn really hostile (we've seen it
happen before). If they come out playing hard, the crowd will
feed on that and make SBU's life tough.
I'm expecting an SBU win, but not by much. I figure Suero will
score 30+, but he'll allow 35+ with lazy defense, and Wolves win
by 4.

I would expect Albany to play much tougher D tonite at home. I
would like to see us isolate whoever Suero guards for a few
possessions to see how it works. If he covers Dave let him
drive. If he covers Tommy or Al post him up and clear out.
Either score or get him in foul trouble. Need to get early lead
and take the crowd out of the game

This is going to be a great game. I'm considering paying for the
stream.

Put it in the books. Solid win. To get out of Albany with the
win is a big step forward for the program.
Now on to UNH. This could be tough also.
Coley and Rapier with big contributions. Team effort as usual.

Good win. Solid offense, good shooting once again. This team is
playing well!!!! The short drought was scary but they were able
to get past that.
Albany also played hard. This is going to be a great team next
year

Great win in a tough arena. Albany played well but not well
enough. Could we win the regular season title on the road ?
Guarantee trip to the NIT ! That would make the Maine game
meaningless at Pritchard .

Signature win on road. Packed house, 5000+, BPG, Albany
undefeated at home.... and managed to pull a win. Great stuff,
not sure everybody appreciates how difficult that was. Still
nearly impossible to run the table...headed from Albany direct
to UNH, and still road games at UVM and Hartford. Long way to go
but lots to be proud of w this team.
