Ho hum. Same old UA-SBU game.

We all know what the problem is so, why bother to get all worked up. BRUTAL!!!

Yeah, 2 for 13 in the second half looks terrible – and I hated a few of them (Yeboah was pressing, the late three attempt by Ty) – but 22 is a good total for us. The early threes put us ahead, and then when UA reeled us in and went ahead, a few of them actually got us back in it. I have a bigger problem with all the stinkin' turnovers and missed twos. 15 for 35 inside the arc sucks. Saintel mishandled an alley-oop and missed two dunks if memory serves, and he had a terrible two attempt late just a step inside the three point line. I liked McKenzie's aggressiveness in this game – he's made some strides over the last few – but he forced a couple in the paint. And I believe at one point we had a tipped alley-oop pass that turned into a turnover, a Cornish charge, and a terrible cross-court pass by Ty in successive possessions somewhere in there. The Cornish inbounds pass off the long break was horrific. Just too many empty possessions. 18 freakin' second-half points.

Really disappointing that we pissed this one away, but I can't say I'm surprised. UA chipped away at the double-digit deficit and got it to six, and their backcourt brought it home. Nichols got hot early in the second half; he and Cremo was just such steady contributors. By contrast, we have guys who are so up and down.

We shot 13 free throws in two games against Albany this year. Not makes. Attempts. 17 makes to our two tonight. We are now 22 for 49 (.449) on free throws during this three-game losing streak. Opponents are 49 for 68 (.721)
