So I got the call early yesterday afternoon.  “Can you cover the internet broadcast by yourself?” My partner on the broadcast, John Longton, had a prior commitment and was unavailable Friday night. No biggie.  You step up and help your teammates.  That’s how it works. Of course, that means my first Albany Patroons full broadcast…

After that rough road trip where the Pats went 1-5 and slipped down to fourth place in the TBL standings, the Patroons have rebounded with two straight wins over the cellar-dwelling New York Court Kings, who might only get to the playoffs if someone buys them tickets. So yeah, Chuck is happy.  A lot of…

You know the picture.  It’s when an exhausted basketball player sets a new record for most points or most rebounds or most something.   They hold up a piece of paper that’s got a big number scribbled on it. Last year, Lloyd Johnson tied the Albany Patroons’ franchise record for most points in a game, with…

The rest of the TBL Basketball League has caught up to the Albany Patroons.  After racing through their opponents with a 7-game winning streak, the Pats have now lost three of their last four contests – including – quel courage! – a 111-89 loss to the Jamestown Jackals, Albany’s first loss at the Armory this…

The last time the Albany Patroons faced the New York Court Kings at the Armory, the Pats destroyed the Court Kings 154-94 in a game that wasn’t even THAT close.

But…

So last night, the Albany Patroons held off a surging Jamestown Jackals to take a 97-94 win, improve their record to 6-0 on the season, tying them with the Kansas City Tornadoes for first place in the TBL. This is good. Alonzo Murphy, one of the Patroons’ entry draft picks, popped a double-double of 21…

This was a great game and it felt good to move to 5-0. The Albany Patroons took a tough Jamestown team and ran the score up to a 97-86 win. The victory helps keep the Patroons on pace with the Kansas City Tornadoes as the only two unbeaten teams in the TBL. Jamestown falls to…

Last week, it was a 60-point blowout of the New York Court Kings that pushed Albany to 2-0 in the young TBL basketball season. Friday night, their bench kept Albany in the lead most of the night, as the San Diego Waves fell to Albany 109-92. By the way, I should mention this new kid…
