Albany 65, Hartford 63
2/8/06, Hartford
15-8, 10-2 AE
Since the University refuses to include a play-by-play sheet with the box score(thanks for nothing), I experimented with one of my own for a part of the first half. Comments in bold.
Listening to the pre-game show... Siggers rolled his ankle in practice. First Brent busts his thumb in practice, now Jason's injury-- just what goes on in practice anyway? Glad to see the team practicing hard, but 2 injuries? Wow.
This is even before Brent's concussion and Brian's mouth injury. I hope this season does not turn into a war of attrition, though I'm thrilled to see the team playing hard. No one seems to know what exactly happened to either Brent or Brian.
Starting lineups announced-- heard a few claps for the Danes. I guess time will tell what sort of support we have tonight. Doesn't really sound like a lot of people in attendance tonight.
Total attendance was ~1200.
Didn't know before the game-- Hartford is first in the AE in scoring, eigth in points allowed. Thanks, Tobben.
Adeleke and Cook are 1 & 3 in the AE in scoring, averaging 20.4 and 16.8 points, respectively. We all know who is second in the league in scoring.
Albany's #s- second in scoring, at 66.6 (the number of the beast), and third in defense, allowing 63.5 ppg.
Hartford's first possession, a Cook 3-- what did Brown say in the pre-game? Something about not letting Cook get off to a fast start, I think.
Lucious counters with a three of his own.
Then Brent. Then Brent again!
Now Lillis!
4-4 early from 3-point land! 12-3 early lead.
Covington in early-- seems like Coach Brown wants to see exactly what he get get from Jimmy down the stretch, based on Jimmy's recent increase in PT.
Adeleke hits his first, but Brian goes off glass. 14-5. 5 for Brian. And he just picked up his second. See ya' in the second, Brian.
Adeleke hits 2 FTs-- 14-7
Siggers hits on a jumper-- so much for the ankle.
Foul on Covington-- 5 early ones with 13 minutes left. Hartford will be in the bonus in 30 seconds.
Big lineup:
Zo, Levi, Siggers, Covington, Wilson. See how this goes.
I like to see Coach Brown experiment with the big lineup-- we're gonn'a need it in the UVM and UNH games.
Carter dunk-- 16-9. Sounded like a monster. This 5 has to be patient offensively.
Zo tip off the rebound 16-9
Another very nice night for Zo. His line:
4-7 shooting, 2-4 FTs, 7 rebounds, 10 points, 3 PF's, 4 TO's, 2 blocks, 3 steals. Love to see it and it looks like his game is coming together just at the right time. All in 32 minutes. Keep up the good work, Zo.
No transition D, though, Adeleke again, 16-11
Levi's turn for three, 21-11!
Team is shooting well, early. Gotta' watch the fouls, though.
Siggers foul-- 6 now. Adeleke is gonna' eat us up alive tonight, despite the early lead.
Adeleke again-- 8 of Hartford's early 13. 21-13.
Adeleke had 14 of his 21 points in the first half, probably because UH scored all of their second-half points in transition off of steals.
Levi rebound, Danes in transition and Jamar hits the baby j, 23-13
Iati's in-- hopefully he can get in on the 3-point action.
Adeleke rebound, layup. 23-15.
Ford foul-- their second team foul.
Commercial TO-- Have Indiana-Wisconsin game on mute. The ESPN team of Musberger-Lavin is the worst. Glad I can't hear 'em.
Back to the action...
Jamar from downtown! 26-16. UAlbany is 6-11 from downtown early, and it sounded like a few of those early misses were in-and-out jobs that could have gone down.
Zo with the spin move against Adeleke-- sounded nice, 28-15. See previous comments.
All right, enough of this experiment...
From the sound of things early, I though UAlbany was going to put up a ton of points tonight-- kind of surprised that we scored more in the first half that we did in the second, but that what happens when you commit 7 straight turnovers.
Despite the team's ridiculous early 3-point shooting, they cooled down considerably in the second half, only shooting 1-7 and finishing the night on 9-22 from downtown.
Balanced scoring tonight-- Brent was off to a fast start before getting hurt, scoring 9 first half points, all on 3PT shots.
In the first half, Carter's prayer along with their prefect FT shooting helped keep the hawks in the game. Take away those numbers, and its an 11-point halftime lead for the Danes.
Luckily, Carter's prayer was not answered a second time.
Proud of the team for holding on to win-- get well soon.
