Re: Stony Brook @ Vermont 1-18
It's a statement game for SBU--hence why I placed them as 3.5 favorites. Done deal.
The only question left is whether or not SBU will be flying into Dayton for the PIG or the real start of the Dance, since Salty pointed out that's where the opening round games are being held

Re: Stony Brook @ Vermont 1-18
Look how excited everyone is getting for a regular season game lol...this is just another day in the office up in Burlington.
What's interesting is this will be the first real conference test for Stony Brook- 3 homes games and the 1 away game but it was Binghamton. Vermont is going to finish up its series with Albany before SBU evens plays Albany once. It's an important game but at this point in the season, w/l here for either squad won't be predictive of much. I will say, kudos to the conference for having this game on ESPNU- should be a fun one, great game for the conference to have on TV.

Re: Stony Brook @ Vermont 1-18
It is an exciting game. But, I agree, that w/l here wont mean much. Last year we were top of regular season standing, but ended up watching the NCAA tourney from the comfort of living room.
I would be happy if we win, and not lose hope if we lose. But I really hope we win the AE tourney this year. And I see only UVM capable of stopping us in March from going to the dance. So game against them naturally has added excitement, even if its in January. |

It's March, anything can happen- and it usually does. I wouldn't say only "X" team will be able to beat us- UVM had the conference regular season title locked up last season then slept-walked against 0-26 Binghamton. Anything can happen.

Re: Stony Brook @ Vermont 1-18
I heard from a source in Burlington that the UVM players are making up fake internet girl friends who will all come down with some form of tragedy in the next 24 hours to drum up sympathy and get the team super motivated to play SB. Many of you Catamount groupies are much closer than I am to the situation. Can you confirm this for me?

Re: Stony Brook @ Vermont 1-18
This will be a good warm-up game for the one that matters this weekend: Bing @ Maine on Saturday

not for nothing but SBU has always had trouble playing at binghamton. Last year they beat them by 6 up there. and vermont lost at binghamton. Beating Binghamton at binghamton is an accomplishment for SBU teams. |

Stony Brook is not a very good match-up for BU and we caught them on a night when they happened to play superb and you happened to play them on a night when they couldn't make a shot.

Re: Stony Brook @ Vermont 1-18
Yes when you lose the other team always played superb and when we win the other team couldn't make a shot. So which one will it be Friday? Will we just play superb or will UVM not be able to make a shot

Re: Stony Brook @ Vermont 1-18
who beat Northeastern...who beat Belmont...who beat Stanford...who beat Northwestern...who beat Baylor...who beat Kentucky...who beat Maryland...who beat NC State...who beat Duke!!!
So there you have it...SBU, by virtue of that win over Boston U, will beat Duke when/if they meet in the NCAA Tournament! You're welcome Seawolves fans...
