And very soon thereafter to be moved to the new SB Arena!!!

And regarding the news from last week on the partnership with PMI, i read it closely, and to me, it sounded a lot like the SB Arena may one day become the...  Computer Associates Pavilion, for example. 
There are 29,413,039 corporations in America; but only one Chairman of the Board.

That would be awesome.. CA will be handing out free corporate tickets to their employees..  more attendance and publicity :)

There is definitely have been a lot of improvement. I remember 2010-11 and early 2011-12 season in which the team used to go into long offensive droughts late in the 2nd half and drop the games. The UNH game last saturday would've probably been a loss two years ago. This team is capable of holding on to leads even when they are not playing their best. That's exciting and that builds confidence. I think that's the major difference of this team and the prior years. They don't give up even if they are losing by a lot and we have seen that in multiple games.

Progress. No Doubt

I would probably put Rutgers at #2 and us at #3, but even better!

If we can knock off Vermont next week that would be 20 wins with two weeks to go in the season. That has never happened before.

Love for Seawolves from John Templon who is one of the voter at ESPN mid-major power ranking although we haven't made it to the ranking. Apparently Stony Brook's Thomas Chen is on the voting panel too!

We have a 2 % chance making it to the sweet 16, and 0% chance winning it all. "So there still a chance" LOL Dumb and Dumber came to mind!!

I figured we would take a hit downward. Its not like we lost Kansas by  5 on the road that was Hartford.

I see we're are the projected 14th seed. If we did win out the remaining games would that  change the seeding down to 13 or does not matter at this point?.  It's my understanding, the higher the seed you are, 16 i think is the highest, you would be playing against a number 1 seed opponent obviously decreasing your chances of winning and moving on to the next round. So as of now we are up against a 2nd or 3 rd seed team...

Could someone clear up this confusing NCAA seed Tournament placement !!

At 13 the first round game is against the 4th seed. At 14 it is against the 3rd.  Not sure it makes that much of a difference.
