Brown 52, Albany 62
SEFCU Arena
Albany, NY
11/9/06
3-4
Brown uniforms and those bright red shoes-- coolest uniforms in college baskteball. Straight outta' Hoosiers.
Sure, Brown is 3-7, but they held Michigan St. to 45 points, beat Providence, and lost by 4 to a Rhode Island team that beat Utah on Saturday. Games against teams that slow the pace of the game down are never easy-- ask Georgetown. Brown is a pesky and well-coached team that employs some offshoot of the Princeton offense. Unfortunately, for their sake, Brown had a hard time catching the basketball and finishing their layups off of their backdoor cuts. If they could, this game would have been a lot more interesting-- and this game was plenty interesting, if not soemwhat frustrating. The game surely wasn't pretty. However, I commend the team for not getting frustrated and for not letting the game slip away.
Brown got the score within 5 with just under 10 minutes left and lingered until just about the very end. With about 4 minutes remaining Albany up by 10, the game got a bit out of control. In the next 1:30, both teams combined for 5 turnovers with no points being scored in that time. Once this chaotic sequence ended, with Brown breaking the drought with a free throw, Albany still clung to a 9-point lead and the game was all but over.
A few items of note:
Reid Anderson saw 15 minutes and looked pretty comfortable out there. He had a few open shots that didn't fall, but he finished with 4 points, 6 rebounds and showed good huslte on the floor today. Nice job
After shooting no better than 36% a game from 3-point land in any of their last 3 losses, Albany shot 10-22 from 3-point land today, good for 45 percent. Brent led the way, shooting 4-6 from downtown.
If memory serves me correctly, jason had a breakout game of sorts against Brown in Providence, last year. Today, Jason stays out of the foul trouble alluded to in the last post, plays the full 40 minutes, and shoots 7-13 from the field, good for 17 points. However, Jason committed a foul on a 3-point shot that allowed Brown to cut UA's lead to 6 early in the second half-- before Albany got their lead back to 15. Lillis picked up his second personal with just under 10 minutes in the 1st half andf finished the game with seeing just 22 minutes of action.
The team got another solid effort from Connelly, going 4-5 from the line, good for 8 points to go along with 5 rebounds in 26 minutes. Brian is shooting 16-26, or .615%, from the floor.
