Albany 57
San Diego State 80
San Diego is about the nicest place on the planet, but it wasn't too kind to our Danes.
Listened to the game on the radio while trying to write a research proposal-- not quite sure if the game affected my work or if my work affected my ability to listen to the game. Either way, neither my work nor the game was very good.
For the second straight game, poor transition defense, turnovers and spotty guard play hurt the Danes. As in the Sacred Heart game, the Danes would go down court, hit a nice little jumper or a three, and then fail to get back-- that's how it sounded on the radio, at least. I know that happened a few times in the Sacred Heart game.
Lucious and Jamar combine for a total of 8 points-- throw in Johnny's 12 for a total of 20 from our three best players. Lucious was actually held scoreless, and I have a feeling that he is hurt. Just a hunch, but if I recall correctly I think he hurt is knee or ankle during the McGill exhibition, as he sat for almost the entire second half. Either way, the guards will be fine. San Diego State is good, but not 27 points better than us.
For the second straight game we got some quality minutes out of Zo, as he recorded his second career double-double against a bigger and more athletic Aztec team. Loved his deadpan response which was something like, "It was about time I did something." Hilarious. Truth is, he's been our one bright spot over the last 2 games. Keep up the good work, Zo. If he is able to keep up the good play when our guards come around, we'll be just fine-- we'll be better than fine.
UCLA and Siena this week. Despite the drubbing we gave Siena last year, I am very nervous about this year's game. Siena just put up 77 v. Syracuse, while we have had trouble scoring since the Oakland game. However, let's first play a solid game v. UCLA. Looking forward to see how we handle UCLA's defense.
By the way, nicest campus in the world is UCLA. UAlbany's is a close second.
Nice Article re: AD Lee McElroy in today's Time Useless. I'd be a little happier if the article addressed anything he's doing at Albany instead of focusing on his days as a Bruin. Despite my issues w/McElroy, it was a good article. At least the article mentioned that he is going to root for UAlbany tomorrow night. Gee, thanks.
More news as it happens-- last week of the semester, though, so it'll be a little tough this weeK. Once this week is over, we'll focus more on our recruiting class.
Also nice to see the Johnnies start the season 3-0. Keep up the good work, Norm.
