Albany game thread

[Zorro]

Should not the game have started about 20 minutes ago? ESPN says that the game is on Saturday, 3/18 at 9:05 am. Which should be 10;05 am MT, which is what we are on here. What have I missed?

 

[OT#71]

Starts at 11am EDT

My Bracket says 11am Eastern, which is 10am central and 9am mountain and 8 am out west.

 

[Zorro]

oic. Thanks. ESPN definitely says 9:05 ct.

So ... just a word of caution for those remembering Robert Morris and other 16 seeds over the last 10 years. Albany has seniors who are playing their 4th NCAA tournament and have had the experience of winning as a 12 seed, and scaring the heck out of a few other much higher seeds. And they are much better than your typical 16 seed even this year - their RPI at 114 means they are closer to Tulane and UCF than they are to UNC Ashville at 198, Robert Morris at 173, Texas Southern at 166, Hampton at 152 (15 seed) and significantly better than 15 seed New Mexico State 136.

Uconn should still roll on comfortably, but I expect an experienced and organized team with a lot of fight and not the completely overmatched and overawed teams we usually get - another example of the committee considering driving distance more important than seedings and competitive fairness (for Albany, not complaining for Uconn.)

They gonna fix Eric's mic or is the audio gonna be choppy all the way through?

 

[Jimbo]

Really cool to hear Eric Frede's voice doing a game in the NCAA Tournament.

 

[oldude]

Eric Friede gets to call the game for ESPN. I guess he's on loan from SNY.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Eric Frede and Dan Hughes announcing.

 

[Go/huskies]

I love see Camara, she has such a strong presence, and dresses really nice

I think all these guys that call games are basically free lancers. You go where ever you can make a buck I suppose. Wonder how much they make.

 

[JordyG]

Okay ladies I wanna see some smiles out there. Play loose and have fun. And LIGHT THIS CANDLE!

 

[ochoopsfan]

Eric said Lou is playing in front of her home fans. Had I known the game was in Huntington Beach I would have gone there.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Geno: These are the most important 40 minutes of our lives.

They will be focused.

She and Morgan Tuck have nice wardrobes.

But, but yesterday he said Albany could win. We're doooooooomed!

 

[JordyG]

Frede. Yea! Hughes. Sigh. Well, let's see how he reacts to the prettiest offense in basketball.

 

[HuskyNan]

Gabby got fouled twice.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Gabulous gets us on the board with some free throws! She always seems to get the first points.

 

[JordyG]

UConn comes out playing patient hi/lo basketball.

 

[connie]

Gabby gets the tip, Huskies immediately to the low post in a bump and fall on Gabby, to the line

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kia for 3!!! 7-0 8:35 1st

 

[oldude]

Nice stoke by Kia. Geno said her rhythim was back

 

[JordyG]

Nice observations by Hughes so far. Nurse 2 TO's.

 

[connie]

Uncharacteristic turn over by Kia; but she didn't panic and covered well under the rim
