Game 1, 2023-24: Albany (11/7)

[MikeUMA]

What could nave given him an NCAA three game suspension? Did he mess up some paperwork or something?

I'm guessing it's a minor academic issue. Three games is pretty small as the NCAA goes.

If there's a silver lining in here...
the 3 games are all at home
spread across 10 days
against teams that aren't expected to be a major challenge (none predicted to finish higher than 5th in their conference).

Will be a test for sure, but let's see how we can manage thru. Will be interesting to see the lineups and combos that Frank puts out there.

Gonna buy a ticket tomorrow and make the trek by myself. Been saving Frank podcasts for the ride in case I went. I am very excited for this season.

Have season tickets but same deal. Nobody else can make it tomorrow but still making the trip out west

Draftkings has UMass as a 10 point favorite tomorrow.

Starting to think this program is jinxed
Can't catch a break, always something

I know what you mean. 2 unexpected/late departures (Wildens and Mayhugh) and now a suspension. If the 3 players lost were 1 PG, 1 SG and 1 C, not too bad. But of course it's 3 from 1 position. Ugh

Interesting read from an Albany writer. Beagle will be a load but he is their only proven big. They, like us, have a ton of new guys.

I personally am not worried about this one. They have two starters out - Beagle is good but by all accounts Cohen is better - if they cancel each other out Albany has no one that can match up with Cross - he should have a monster game. I also think Davis will be a matchup nightmare for them as well. As unimpressed as I have been with Curry so far - I'll trust others that say he is special and there will be no one on Albany that can slow him down. Sanford could also be a problem - if he plays like he did in PR we'll win this one easily.

I can't get a line on this game from my service. I do use Draft Kings too, but that is my dick around account not my regular action site.

if you live in MA it is illegal to bet on college teams within your own state - so all of these betting sites use Geolocation services to tell where you are and if your in MA they won't even post the lines for college teams in your state.

If they are in NCAA tourney that is different - you would be allowed to bet on them

I do not use a site that is under Mass Laws
