This would be a great one to get. As Checkmate said, 4-0 with 3 wins on the road is better than even the most optimistic SBU fan could have expected. Lowell will be a tough spot. They continue to show they are an improving program. Thomas is a beast. They are not quite there yet as the loss to Maine showed. But playing at home I expect them to be a tough out. We cannot take any win for granted so I hope the Wolves get off to a strong start. Lowell is capable of scoring a bunch of points so it would be tougher if we have a significant deficit. Crash the boards and do not allow Thomas to go off would be the way to go.

Getting my "to do's" done around the house so I can settle in and watch this one later. Good luck SBU. Thomas has put up some monster numbers and, sheesh, can beat players into submission down low. Hoping a platoon of Seawolves can keep him in check today.

Elsewhere, hoping UNH gives Vermont a game. And will UA avoid the 0-4?...

Same here. All the stuff I procrastinated about this weekend, I was able to get done this morning, so I could watch the game with a clear head. Fearless prediction- Sekunda will get hot in the second half and drop 15+.

Thomas picks up 2 quick fouls in the first half!  The Seawolves need to take advantage of his absence for the rest of the half!

Another poised, solid win. Seems to be an SBU team growing with an identity with players learning their roles. Over the last few games they don't appear to be worried when down, and don't appear worried when the other team makes a run. Woodhouse and the other players with experience have a lot to do with that poise, I'd say. And Sturdivant putting up Warney-like numbers!

On the day UVM continues to roll, will UNH ever really step up as a contender in the AE?, and boy did UA charge back into the picture....

I'm so impressed with how this team is playing. I'm officially a believer. Very happy I signed up for season tickets this year as I think they'll be playing some important home games in March.

Boals should be considered for the coach of the year award in the AE. I dont think a mediocre coach could turn this team around so quickly...

I don't suppose too many people, myself included, thought this team would start 4-0. With a long way yet to go it nonetheless puts SBU in a nice spot, and with some breathing room for a slip or two, for a top 4 tournament spot.

Over these first 4 conference games what really impresses me with this team are the good, smart decisions they are making. Early on this year they didn't look this smart, but they do now. I put this on Boals and the coaching staff, combined with an experienced group of players who have bought in and are starting to look very comfortable together. We can all see simple things that add up over the course of a game. Today, for example while with a modest lead, instead of rushing up the court after a turnover, jacking up a 3, or forcing a drive into the lane you see what appears to be an awareness of the entire team to take it easy if a sure bucket is not there, shorten the game by 25-30 seconds, and get the good shot they know they can get at some point. Smart stuff.

Frankly, SBU doesn't have the players and size and talent of UVM, UA, maybe UNH and UMBC too. But they're getting it done with an awareness of what they can do, bursts of energy, and smart play.

Fun to watch, and I'm looking forward to the game on Thurs...

freddy nailed it...

first, im ecstatic over the AE performance.  secondly- i'm left wondering whether we've had an upgrade but its just too early to tell.  thirdly, i am also wondering if losing walker was a net gain or loss, again impossible to tell. 

lastly, this is likely obvious, but this team is less-superstar heavy and very middle-heavy; we have depth, can run two full units, and it shows.  i like it, GO SB
