Game 19: at Hartford, 1/15 7pm
« on: January 13, 2020, 02:58:05 pm »
HARTFORD (9-8, 2-0 America East)
Last Game: Hartford 88, UMass Lowell 68 on 1/8/20
Last Game with SBU: Stony Brook 68, Hartford 63 on 3/5/19; Cornish team-high 16; win secured 2 seed in AE tournament #sigh
Checkmate Unofficial Line: Stony Brook -5.5
NET Ranking: Stony Brook 127, Hartford 284

6-1/175 gr G Traci Carter 9.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 4.2 apg, 2.2 spg, .377 3-pt FG%, .867 FT%

Very very intriguing matchup. Not a layup for us by any stretch.

When everybody graduated last year, I thought for sure that Hartford would finish in the bottom two or three in the conference. Now I wonder if they're a top three team.

They started the year 4-6, with its wins coming against brutal CCSU and Marist as well as a couple D-IIIs. However, that's when Ellison – a Pitt transfer via St. John's – became eligible, and he's been a force, helping them win five of their last seven, including a nice road win at Northwestern (KenPom 104). Mind you, Ellison is the son of former #1 overall pick Pervis Ellison, so he's got greatness in his blood. Man was he good. And his kid's really making the most of his final year of eligibility, posting double-doubles in all but one of his seven games, including 26 and 13 in Hartford's win in Lowell last week. I find it interesting that Ellison, once a spot-up three-point shooter at St. John's, has gone in the opposite direction of Anthony Lamb, doing all his work inside the arc now. I do think it's a good matchup for us, with Olaniyi potentially marking him, or possibly Latimer. They got killed on the glass early in the year but Ellison has helped close that gap significantly

And he's far from their only weapon. This kid Flowers has a pair of 28-point games to his credit, and the other three guys listed above have had 18 or more in a game this season. The floor leader is Carter, who was a four-star recruit in HS playing with Ellison (coached by Pervis) before he landed at Marquette, La Salle and now Hartford. The knock on him has been his jump shot, although he's hitting at a decent clip so far this year.

The bottom line is the team has talent, certainly more than the Maines and UNHs of the world. And Ellison and Carter have been a nice complement to the youngsters well. I think Gallagher deserves a lot of credit for assembling this group after being so senior-heavy last year with Dunne, Carroll and Lynch. Like Maine, they have a mini-UN, with guys from Australia, Belgium, Ireland and more on the roster.

Barring a monster game from Olaniyi, he'll hit 1,000 at home on Saturday night. If he stays on this pace and stays healthy, 2,000 isn't out of the question.

I almost typed the following hot take above: This game is the most challenging one left on the schedule.

I thought it to be disrespectful to UVM based on one result, and Albany's given us plenty of trouble as well. Never mind Binghamton! I think we find a way though. I'm most concerned about a team that can really shoot it and/or hammer us on the glass. Hartford isn't really either of those.

Nerdy stat: we've held nine of our last 10 opponents under 42% shooting from the field. We've been over 42% in eight of those games.

“ The eight current members of Stony Brook's 1,000-point club are Jameel Warney (2,132 points), Bryan Dougher (1,609), D.J. Munir (1,590), Carson Puriefoy (1,572), Mitchell Beauford (1,359), Dave Coley (1,228), Anthony Jackson (1,048) and Mike Popoko (1,048).”

I wonder if this is a deliberate dig at Yeboah (1,317)... you don’t get to join the club if you leave us for a B1G school!

Looks like the rule is that you have to have finished your career at SBU and you have to have played at the D1 level. Some really good D3 players not on this list.

With the early season win over Vermont and the early conference lead, it almost seems like every game now is of even more importance to hold serve, to use the tennis analogy.   I think this, coupled with the strong OOC schedule, will keep our team focused on a game-to-game basis.  Additionally, Geno accolades along with our mid-major top-25 breakthrough, adds to the pressure and focus.

I think tonight may be a tough game.  Who knows what to expect with essentially a brand new Hartford team, who sold out with transfers this season.

Wow, nice job!  This brings back some memories.  IMO, Keith, Wright, and Tillery all D1 caliber players (were part of our D3 Final Four team).  Some of the others I didn't follow, but all good players I'm sure.

P.S.  All non-bolded played D3, except for Larry Gibson, who played both D2/D1 at SBU (that is played during transition from D2 to D1).

Of course this board is read.  Gotta lot of smart and rabid SBU fans on this board.  Hopefully, it was just an oversight.  Akwasi was a class act and left to satisfy a need to see if he could play at a higher level (and is accomplishing that).  I'm sure though that part of him wishes he could be in both places.

Slow start, but defense has held and we've got some points now. They were in foul trouble, but we caught right up in that regard. This will be a close one. Doesn't look like an on-fire shooting kind of night for us which is how I'd expect we'd lose AE games like this.
