The year the committee moves from the RPI is the year we're borderline top 50 in that metric. Beautiful 

Really though, this is awesome for SBU. Have we ever been that high?? This is awesome and should eventually result in greater publicity and possibly some votes in the polls if we can keep winning.  We should be 16-3 heading into the Albany game, and if we can get through the following game against the puppy dogs, The game against Vermont could be flexed onto ESPN2 or ESPNU as they usually show one or two AE games a year on the national networks.

Unless we sweep Vermont, I can't see us inching up all that much, if at all, from here.  It would be real sweet if both Vermont and SBU were 5-0 going into 1/26.  Really looking forward to that game and the atmosphere in the arena that night.

Rutgers upsets ranked Ohio State. Glad to see coach Pikiell building that program from ashes.

UMBC leading now 36-32. I hope they can win the game at Vermont.

Too had SB going to lose again lonely UA to take the lead in the AE.

Vermont loses. We win.. we are top of standing

Our stock is rising  even though tonight was a close call.

I think the opposite. I don't think we're anywhere near as good as we think we are. We keep struggling against bad teams. We should have blown out every other team we've played in conference so far by double digits if we were legit. Instead we need a huge rally to beat Maine, and OT to beat Albany. Plus we let two of the worst teams in all of D1 (Bing and UNH) hang around for a half against us. I'd love to think we have a team that's capable of winning the AE and upsetting somebody in the NCAA tournament, but it's hard to believe that when it takes so much effort to beat bad teams.

We have yet to play Hartford or UMBC at all yet. Either could beat us.  We get our first crack at UMBC next week. Thinking about going to that one.

We obviously have talent, but we're young.  Yesterday was a differrent kind of game for us, where we were out-rebounded, which is a rarity.  They killed us on the offensive glass last night.  We were sluggish to the ball, and even though Akwasi was double-digits in rebounds, his flexibility and quickness hasn't been the same since his injury.  Maybe it's that darn brace that's restricting him.

Last night's problem, has been our problem in all of these close games.  We haven't been moving the ball well for large portions of the game - a lot of our possessions are these one-pass and shoot possessions.  How many forced shots did we take last night?  Lost count after a dozen.  When we move the ball around or when Cornish drives to the whole and dishes, that's when our offense clicks.  Young team, solid team, but Coach has to get back to basics with his team, when we get in that launch mode.

Agree that we're still finding a way to win these games (certainly a positive), but I'm afraid that this come-from-behind style of play is going to bite us in the arse sooner rather than later.

UMBC looks good... not dominant good like UVM with healthy Lamb.. but good enough that I am guessing our two games will be a split.. each holding serve at home.
