From a thorough perusal of the box score, however, several thoughts come to mind:Reynolds played a solid game.Scottie split the point duty with Mike Nardi for much of the game, and turned in a nearly flawless performance. No steals, which is a little disappointing, but otherwise, looks like a very solid game for our highest-touted freshman.Sumpter was explosive (in the first half)Curtis poured in 17 points in only 20 minutes played, mostly in the first half. Curtis also went 3-5 from the three, had 3 steals, and 2 rebounds.Nardi was a workhorseMike Nardi led the team in minutes played with 36 tonight. Solid night from Will.Big bench contributionJay went with an unusually deep rotation tonight: Nine players saw 13 or more minutes. Shane Clark played 28 minutes off the bench, putting in 12 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.

-ne November 17, 2006SEFCU ArenaAlbany, NYRecord: 2-0Watching Big Board Sports on Thursday night, I saw a report that Jamar may still be suffering from the dehydration issues he experienced during the Bucknell game and may not be 100% for the Delaware game. From that point, the Danes never rally looked back as they went on a 23-12 run to close out the half, extending their lead to 43-32 at the half. Jason Siggers took over in the early stages of the second half of the game, singlehandedly going on a 9-0 run to in the first 2 minutes of the second half to extend Albany’s lead to 50-32. The last 8 minutes of the game were brutal and Delaware actually had a shot to climb back into this game, as they closed Albany’s 18-point lead to 12 with just over 4 minutes to play.
