This is a big game for both teams. Both teams need the win. SBU will have a really tough game ahead of them. First off snow storms make every lazy, Hartford is good, SBU has to play at Hartford, SBU hasnt played in a week, hartford coming off big win played tough against UVM and beat boston u, and SBU is doing same day travel today. Hopefully the ferry doesnt get them out of balance.

SBU by 4.

POY is too early to call at this point, and probably most of first team as well, but at this stage Nwakamma is a lock for 1st team.

He's 3rd overall in scoring and 1st in scoring in conference play by a wide margin.

first team contenders

Brenton
Nwakamma
Voelkel
Edwards
Fraser
Cook
Irving
Black

I left Warney off because I dont see the coaches giving it to a freshmen. I left Black on because the coaches love seniors but Blacks play lately plus being hurt should eliminate him. I wouldn't call anyone a lock right now but there isn't much time left right now to change things. My predictions

Nwakamma
Irving
Fraser
Brenton
Voelkel

I have Edwards first off.

Nycwolf...your notion that if you're not a 1st teamer in the AE than you're not a great player could not be more wrong...especially in the AE! The coaches in the league are so petty and don't reward the best players with these awards. There are so many more politics involved with it that using that as any barometer to exclude all but the 5 chosen is just not accurate

i agree with wat you just said

maybe he meant in the sense that since the AE is a bottom tier DI conference, if you dont make the cut for 1st teamer then you are not great due to the lower quality of the league... that was my interpretation

i disagree with him either way

First time I saw Hartford live I thought Nwakamma was a nice player. smart,patient and he beat the crap out of Mcallister. But for gods sake when he catches on perimeter pressure the hell out of him and make him dribble. He was a match up problem for SBU. When Brenton guarded him he shut him down completely. But when matchups prevented Tommy from guarding him he FEASTED on Mcallister and took it to Warney. SBU perimeter players did a terrible job on screens and they looked confused. Just a horrible day for SBU but not unexpected considering the circumstances. I came away very impressed with Hartfords effort

Gallagher should be coach of the year from watching his team play. They are not very talented but work their arse off and are very physical. They absolutely get the most out of their talent. All in all Hartford physically and mentally pushed SBU all over the court.

I agree with that, every other coach did what was expected of him, or less. I think Hartford is the only team that went above expectations (maybe UMBC as well but that is a different stituation.)
