| SB vs Albany 5/1 730pm | |
| By: Chairman of the Board Date: April 28, 2014, 8:10 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Though the game is at LaValle, the Seawolves are the road team | |
| by virtue of the fourth seed. Playing #1 Albany, who just blew | |
| up #2 Binghamton, is a replay of an earlier contest that SB lost | |
| by 10 goals. AE bracket here: | |
| http://www.americaeast.com/pdf9/2699888.pdf | |
| Albany has won five in a row and no one in the conference has | |
| come close. BC hung around for a while but the Danes opened it | |
| up and won by 4. In five games, theyve scored 91 goals against | |
| AE opponents, for a staggering 18.5 GPG in conference. Hartford | |
| did the best with 15 surrendered. | |
| Which brings me to- how then did Canisius hold them to 10? | |
| Better get that game film... | |
| It should be rainy and cold, though the rain might stop by game | |
| time. | |
| While AETV will air the semis, ESPNU will show the Finals. GO | |
| SB | |

| lose so leave all in the field! | |

| If I'm Albany, I'm not happy with this draw. We're a dangerous | |
| team, way moreso than the record indicates, and we're at home. | |
| If we can control the face-offs (shouldn't be too hard) and | |
| watch the turnovers, Albany's in for a game. | |

| [quote]Here's something scary about Stony Brook-Albany in the | |
| semifinals of the tournament: Albany's offense ranks third | |
| nationally in efficiency; Stony Brook's defense ranks 64 | |
| nationally in efficiency. The Seawolves' gigantic possession | |
| margin advantage means next to nothing if Stony Brook plays to | |
| script against the Danes. Just look at the truncated tempo-free | |
| profiles: The Seawolves are yielding -- on a 100-possession | |
| basis -- to their opposition almost as many goals as the Danes | |
| are scoring -- on a 100-possession basis -- against their | |
| opponents. That's the formula for a bloodbath, one that could | |
| see the Great Danes mirror their 17-7 shellacking of Stony Brook | |
| from earlier in the season. The Seawolves need to find a way to | |
| create defensive stops, and a major factor in determining | |
| whether Stony Brook can create those stops is in how the | |
| Seawolves and Danes control and create off-ball movement when | |
| Albany has the bean: Stony Brook's defense ranks 63rd in | |
| defensive assist rate (assists per 100 defensive opportunities); | |
| Albany's offense ranks first in offensive assist rate (assists | |
| per 100 offensive opportunities). The quality of shots that the | |
| Seawolves give up will ultimately dictate whether the team's | |
| defense can give Stony Brook enough to compete with | |
| Albany.[/quote] | |

| Win f/o's, attack the cage and shoot a high percentage. Same | |
| formula as last yr's semi-final but with a better f/o man. The | |
| difference this yr is that Rowe can dominate. Your not going to | |
| stop them, so you have to put it on them early and try to take | |
| them out of their gm. Spinning the ball around and trying to eat | |
| up the clock won't work. | |

| Bingo loses to BC 16-10. | |
| i think we all agree that we needed a game plan to beat UA. so | |
| what have we done different so far? for starters, first UA | |
| clear we pressed on the ride, caused a turnover, luca scores. | |
| then possession, rogers dodge and score. UA shoots within | |
| seconds, get the ball back, sit on it. busted another UA clear | |
| on the ride. long possession. rooney wing dodge and score. so | |
| far so good. | |

| broke another UA clear, got flagged, big EMD save on thompson | |
| (does it matter which one?). clear, timeout SB. Possession, | |
| flag, possession. lost ball, but broke up a UA fast break. | |
| inside save against thompson. clear. 9 minutes and we have the | |
| ball at least 7min, maybe 8. backed up a UA shot, SB ball. | |
| we look like a top 10 team, methodical. we are all thinking we | |
| shouldve done this all year. and for the good quarters against | |
| Rutgers, MD, Duke, etc, i think we did. | |
