Game 19: at Binghamton 1/22
« on: January 21, 2017, 10:34:49 pm »
BINGHAMTON
Record:
9-11 (0-5 America East)
Last Game: L, 84-65, at Albany 1/19
Last 10: 3-7
Last Season: SBU 62-52 there; SBU 76-51 here

TV: http://es.pn/2iao6VU
Stony Brook radio: http://www.whli.com/listen-live.aspx
Notables:
6-6/200 jr F Willie Rodriguez 13.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.0 bpg, .571 FG%
6-6/225 jr F Bobby Ahearn 8.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg, .580 FG%, .789 FT%
6-9/225 so F Thomas Bruce 7.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg, .485 FG%
5-11/175 sr G Marlon Beck 7.0 ppg, 1.2 spg
6-1/175 so G Timmy Rose 6.0 ppg, 3.9 apg, 1.1 spg, .423 3-pt FG%

A big part of this thing is staying healthy. Binghamton was dealt a tough blow a month ago when JC Show, their top scorer, went down for the season with a ruptured triceps injury. After a 7-4 start with him, they're 2-7 without him. That reinforces the first sentence. We're a totally different team without any of our guys.

Look at it closer though, and UB's had a tough beginning stretch in conference play: at UMBC, at UNH, at Albany, and home dates with Lowell and Vermont. And now undefeated Stony Brook!

Beck has given Bingo a boost of late, using the uptick in minutes to hit double digits in points in each of the last six games. He's UB's primary three-point threat, which is particularly of note considering we're 332nd out of 351 teams in three-point FG% against (.391). That is dismal. As a team, Binghamton hits 37 percent of its threes, a pretty good number.

But let's look at the bright side. We have the best player on the floor, and I think a legitimate candidate for conference Player of the Year in Lucas Woodhouse. Right now, we're THIRD in the COUNTRY in turnovers at just under 10 a game, just behind Michigan and Virginia (as of 1/19 games). We're right there in assist-to-turnover and turnover margin also. Between that and getting on the offensive glass, we're really getting the best bang for our buck on each possession. It's a pretty good point guard matchup with Woody and Rose, even though the latter isn't nearly the scorer.

It's too bad Jordan McRae from HHHE hasn't made the rotation up at UB. I like seeing the locals get a shot to play at a high level.

I'm a little uneasy about this, partly because we're due for a letdown and Binghamton's due for a win too. Fingers crossed we can get it done.

Game day ! Looking forward to seeing if SBU can keep the momentum going. It seems that even with Binghamton struggling for a few years now, quite a few of our games with them are tight. The Wolves should not be looking past today even with a big week ahead against UMBC and Vermont. We should not take anything for granted. The Bearcats have some talent and are anxious I am sure to get that first conference win. Take care of business. Go Seawolves!

  We have to be careful with each game .  We are playing good team basketball now but we are not that overwhelming .  Win today and get ready for UMBC .

took us a few min to figure out the bingo zone.  petras looking alive.  yeboah hot shooting.  distracting white patch on the ball. 

BC hung 102 on UML.  bingo got into some early trouble with poor perimeter shooting, uncharacteristic, no?

Give it a rest Laxnation. As I said games with Binghamton can often be a struggle. Hopefully we can close strong.

Just stating the facts.
Stony Brook won by 25 points, the last time that these two teams played against each other!
Woodhouse is God!

It's hard to win these games when your starting 2 guard scores 0 points and 0 assists.

Ugh. Rough final 30 seconds. Foul on offensive board, don't box out the shooter, wide open three, missed layup and an abominable inbounds play. Nice to get back into it but a rotten ending.

Perfect summary of the last 30 seconds.

Had a bad feeling about this one! Always a dog fight with Bing. Oh well, back to the drawing board with two big ones next week. After today these next two will be telling I imagine--hang near the top...or be part of a big pile in the middle.

Admittedly only caught the last two minutes. Curious if the fan base saw anything particularly troubling, or was it a good effort by Bing combined with your standard AE letdown at some point in the season?

Saw that coming. Not surprised. Forget it and get ready for UMBC.
