Stony Brook and Brown games...and a Happy Holiday to All
Next 5 games: @ Stony Brook (12/23), @ Brown (12/28), Hartford (1/4), Maine (1/7), Cornell (1/9)
Important stretch for the Danes starting tomorrow out on the Island. Hopefully we'll be able to get some rhythm and find the right combination of players by playing on a consistent basis against a few teams that aren't as talented as we are. As we have seen this year talent doesn't necessarily translate into victories, and I'd be thrilled to go 4-1 over the next 5.
Stoner Brook: 0-6, but only one home game thus far, which resulted in a loss to Columbia. However, games against Villanova, the Johnnies and Hofstra probably have helped prepare them for AE play. Now they are finally home and I'm sure Pikiell has 'em rarin' to go. Bonheaded move by whomever scheduled their second home game of the season when everyone is away.
Stony Brook has not been shooting well this year-- under 40% from the field and 45% from the line. Ouch. Plus, their opponenents have taken almost twice the amount of foul shots as the Seawolves. However, if memory serves me correctly, we went down there and lost late in the season last year just before the AE tournament. This game has "trap" written all over it if we're not careful.
Brown: Looking forward to this one, as I am planning to make the trip to Providence. I hope to make it more interesting with a friendly wager or two with some friends of mine. Even if I don't, Brown's team ensures this will be a good one. The Bears have beaten both Binghamton and Hartford by 10 this year. Brown does not have a particularly big team (one guy on their roster is 6'9"), so hopefully we'll be able to push 'em around inside and finally get Levi involved in this one. Reading about Brown got me thinking...
Somwhat interesting but very pointless stat I decided to look up at work:
The America East is 5-7 v. The Ivy League this year
Breakdown:
BU-Harvard (W, 72-63), Hartford-Brown (L, 60-70), Hartford-Cornell (W, 73-71), Hartford-Yale (W, 76-60), UVT-Harvard (L, 57-65), UVT-Dartmouth (W, 77-46), Albany-Harvard (L, 48-61), Bingo-Brown (L, 61-71), SB-Columbia (L, 54-55), Maine-Dartmouth (W, 64-55), UNH-Col. (L, 61-64), UNH-HU (L, 50-71)
Anyway, Have a Happy and Safe Holiday everyone and Go Danes!
