Game 19: SBU v. Albany
« on: January 18, 2016, 03:30:04 pm »
Record: 15-5 (4-1 AE)
Last Game: W, 80-59, vs. Binghamton 1/17
Last Year: Albany 64-47 here; SBU 59-56 there; Albany 51-50 there
Notables:
6-1 sr G Evan Singletary 12.8 ppg, .369 3 pt FG%
6-4 sr G Peter Hooley 12.5 ppg, 3.0 apg
6-4 sr G Ray Sanders 11.0 ppg, 4.3 rpg, .414 3 pt FG%
6-4 fr G Joe Cremo 10.9 ppg, .555 FG%, .517 3 pt FG%
6-8 jr F Mike Rowley 8.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg, .587 FG%
6-7 so F Greig Stire 6.7 ppg, 5.9 rpg, .535 FG%

Let's hope that the Maine game wasn't Hooley showing signs of life here. Albany is a lot less formidable without him producing at a high level.

We'll see how we do inside without the elder Rowley out there. I don't miss him. It seems they do though. They've struggled to beat some very ordinary teams - OT win against UNH and Holy Cross, squeaking past the likes of Cornell, St. Francis NY, St. Francis PA, Quinnipiac and NJIT (granted many were on the road). You lose that pillar inside and things can change.

Three senior guards. That's always a good start, particularly in this league.

One very very notable stat: Albany has made more free throws than its opponents have taken, and it isn't even close. UA is 386 for 523 (very good .738) from the line, while opponents have taken just 296 free throws. Albany has committed 343 fouls to opponents' 441. We need Carson and Jameel to stay out of foul trouble. The former in particular has had bouts with it this year.

Also, UA outrebounds its opponents by nearly 7 per game, so we won't be able to bully them down there like we have against lesser AE opponents.

Big spot for Roland and potentially DeShaun if Sekunda can't go. Here's hoping he can give us at least something, if not 100%.

Looking forward to the game and hope it's a good show for the TV audience. Win/lose for either team, frankly, don't think means too much in January unless the fight is for the auto NIT bid (which I suppose is a nice booby prize).

Thinking back to the home game last year, here's the primary thing I hope is different this time: Felt to me like UA's Brown was in charge of and controlling the game.

Didn't like that. Good luck SBU.

I like the look of the navy tees they have in the store and I've seen some wear. I'll give these unis a chance. Funny clip too.

9 in a row for the ladies!  haven't lost since 12/12.

10 in a row for the men, haven't lost since 12/12.

men are 7-0 at iFed and the ladies are 7-2, losses to Mississippi and St. Bonnies.

Nice callout, Sir. I had no idea the ladies were rolling up Ws too. They have a couple Saturday matinees coming up; might have to stop in with my daughter to check them out. I'm guessing the navys make their debut on the 30th.

Coach P. was absolutely right--it was ugly, and numerous undisciplined shots were taken.  But, no matter how many negatives are uttered about this game, my take-away was that this team shows some real grit!!  They know how to win more than any previous Seawolf team I've seen, even with Jameel spending about 90% of the first half on the bench due to foul trouble!!

The other big outcome for me (being in my usual seats), was how electric the arena was!!  Outstanding crowd, loud and in the game all the time.  I saw a number of over 4,100 in attendance.  Very important for the program, I'd think.  Too bad you had to miss it C.O.B.

Both teams were terrible in the first half.  We were lucky to get a W

While most people would agree that it was an ugly first half, let's give it some perspective.  The last time the team's played it was 4-2 Albany 9 minutes into the game and Stony Brook lead 20-16 at half time.  Both teams hit 30 this time so it was like an offensive deluge in comparison.
