Albany has a little local flavor as well
Their coach, Will Brown, is from Miller Place (Long Island)

#20 needs to grab that rebound instead of tipping it out to the 3pt line.

Albany is kind of local too, could get there from Queens in just over 2 hours, Stony Brook on the LIE could take almost as long in traffic
2 hours? what by helicopter?
I made it with no traffic in 2:15 when I went there, but I drive pretty fast :evil:
Albany is a great school, especially for the price. Better than most private schools, including SJU, for a lot less money.
Could not agree more! As are most NY State schools including Stony Brook, Binghamton. Geneseo, New Paultz, Buffalo, .etc.
That is New Paltz. We'll see a new Paultz when SJU wins next week
I think all of the SUNY schools are very good, but don't shortchange St. John's. Nobody has heard of any of the SUNY schools outside of New York and the location of SJU in NYC leads to limitless possibilities for those with vision and drive.
Yeah guess I got Paultz on my mind. Ha. As for schools, since we are in NY, and since my kid will most likely be looking for a job in NY, a degree from a state school such as Albany carries at least as much weight if not more than a degree from SJU. And you're talking to someone with a degree from SJU and someone who has been out in the business world in NYC since 1981. You do realize that in-state tuition at Albany is a little over 6k while tuition at SJU is a little over 44K? School allegiance aside, as a parent of one college kid and another high school junior, its a complete no-brainer.

Awesome win by Albany, team gives me a lot better results than my first favorite team. 3 years in a row we are dancing! My guy Hooley with the clutch 3, Great game!

Great story on Hooley with his family too. Won it for his mom. Easy team to root for.
Not upset the UConn coach for Stony Brook loses again either, any bad things for UConn make me happy.

You Long Island guys have a different definition of "local" than us borough guys!
Stony Brook was lucky to have stuck with coach Pikiell who some here even suggested as a replacement for Steve Lavin. The last four years SB has done well in the low major America East.
We at St. John's would not have been as patient after his first 6 years that read as follows:
2005 4–24
2006 9–20
2007 7–23
2008 16–14
2009 22–10
2010 15–17
Nice to see Lavin has a much better record in his time here in a much tougher conference, shows something about stability and program building.
Hope most people on this board aren't rooting for Stony Brook and their Pukon coach. Go Great Danes!
Feel bad for Stony Brook since they outplayed Albany most of the game. Feel happy for Albany as some friends and family attended.
I was never a fan of the Uconn men's basketball team but their women's teams have been mythical under coach Geno Auriemma. I was a fan of his great teams. It is a shame they are no longer in the Big East.

I'm sure many on this board wish that Geno was our coach. Even though I don't want Lavin gone, I am sure Geno would do a great job if he did go anywhere else.

Bright students should not have to make college choice based on tuition unless a family is not able to afford it or loans are a burden. Albany is a good school but the top 3 in the state system like Stony Brook, Buffalo and Binghamton are the only 3 on par with some of the California schools that are world class imo.
While tuition is very low unless you are commuter most State schools still require other fees like room and board and other indirect expenses that our young Albany grad can tell you approach $25,000 per year. As a big party school a kid's budget for off campus bars can offset some savings.
Mike Maher's total expenses for attending Albany could have approached the $50,000 mark at Albany. :cheer:

I agree. A great coach and better person. I have met him and enjoyed speaking in Italian with him in our common dialect. We were born 5 miles apart and have much in common.

Maybe I'm getting old but Geneseo and Albany were usually ahead of Buffalo and Stony Brook. Also, as you mentioned, not many schools compared with Albany's social life(very important part of college.) Buffalo is too cold and from what I've heard Stony Brook doesn't have much of a social life.

Cal probably has best state schools in country. Not trying to compare Albany to Cal schools. Nor would I compare SJU to Cal schools. Albany with room and board and incidentals is about 23K. SJU about 58K. I'll say again what I said before, a no-brainer IMO. Whether I can afford to send my kids to SJU or not is of little significance when you consider that NY State schools are consistently ranked amongst the best in the country for value. For what I have determined is essentially the same education with essentially the same long term benefits, I see no point in paying more than double the tuition and having my kids being saddled with more than double the debt(they are supplementing my payments with student loans)when they graduate.

Geneseo, historically known more for its partying, has really elevated its academic standing in recent years. No longer an easy admission. Stony Brook a "suitcase school". Most kids head home on the weekends.

Geneseo is also known for being the site of my wedding. We went to the college bars after the wedding. Those kids couldn't party. The town has cracked down a ton on underage drinking.

SUNY's are about $6K less than UC's in in-state tuition, I'd imagine the other charges are on par. You get what you pay for.
I'm about $25-26 all in at UCSD with my daughter. Great school, #37 in US News, at half the price of similar options. I'm happy. And to save money, my daughter doesn't drink! (not sure where she got that bad habit)
Re the game, let's just say the flags are halfmast at Austour's dad house today. I'm in NY and he chose to stay home and watch the game rather than come have lunch with me.

A St. John's degree holds more weight in the job market just because we are nationally known. Like someone said before, nobody outside of NY has ever heard of SUNY Albany.

As an alum who entered the job market recently, that has not been my experience at all.
