Albany has two good players and they both are guards...they lead in scoring and REBOUNDING...Suerno is 6'4 and Arunhalt is 6'3---so our guards are playing against some height tonight. But that may mean our big guys are going to have a monster game. So with fact Albany lost to Pitt by a big bunch and they are guard oriented team...what do we think will happen tonight.

1. Melo, Christmas, and Keita have strong game---ball comes into block often
2. Scoop recovers and plays well...not necessarily scoring but distributing the ball
3. Waiters continues his run as a scorer and new found defensive effort
4. KJ continues to impress and make us forget about his knees
5. Triche stays aggresssive...
6. James continues to look good
7. CJ is a player
8. MCW continues growth to all american by junior year
9. Team flow in half court set gets better than last two games
10. What is best combination of guards
--is Triche a better PG than SG
--is Scoop a better Two
--does Waiters team with Triche...at least 6 minutes...they were a strong tandem in last game
and chemistry was good...Triche actually smiled being a PG
This should be an easy win...so we need to play smart and begin to get ready for the big boys.
That means:
1. Inside scoring---bigs need to be fed on set plays
2. Determine what combination of guards really is best regardless of who starts
3. Rebounding needs to pick up--and should with Albany guards being primary rebounders
4. KJ and Waiters being the go-to guys with passes to them...not just going one-one

Your thoughts as always to spice up the board...
 
No line anywhere that I can find ... SU has to be favored by a bundle!!
 
I just found out that its on Time Warner ... therefore FIOS ... had me in a sweat b/c its not on ESPN3 either unlessits one of the "regional games" they are reporting being shown.
 
I lied ... just rechecked ESPN3 ... it is scheduled for 7:00
 
If what I saw last night continues I am going to predict all 9 occur but then again I am an optimist by nature lol
 
interestingly, ESPNU carrying first game but not the second according to my guide...seems silly but at least there is ESPN3...

It is listed as a regional exclusive on ESPN3 with nothing on any other ESPN station, Full Court or OAA. I guess those of us out of the New York area are going to have to go without telecast and listen on the radio.
 
The game will be on ESPN3. "Exclusive" just means its not available anywhere else but ESPN3.

I hope you are right because they are listing it as Exclusive Regional Round along with five other games at the same time.
 
Will it be available on ESPN3 in Syracuse, or will it be blacked out? I'm going to be in class for most of the game, so I can't make it to the Dome till 8:30ish. I'd like to be able to watch the game on the computer...
 
Triche PG...I know there have been a lot of posts about Triche playing PG. I saw him play a number of high school games and he was pretty much a combo guard. His senior year I would call Alshwan Hymes the PG on that JD team. Hymes is currently playing for Canisius.

Triche showed PG skills in high school, but in high school he was much better than the competition. Not saying he can't play PG...just saying.

Regional Round is what they call this tier of the tournament. It has nothing to do with ESPN3's coverage.

Don't fret ... you will get.

It doesnt say "subject to blackout" so you should be good.
