Yes agreed but the difference between UMass and UConn (other than just a basic level of competence) is that there is no confusion about their identity as a basketball school and they are in an excellent basketball-only league. UMass is probably also a basketball school but not to the level that UCon...

Why would Cal talk about his next job in his farewell address to Kentucky fans? Speculation about Dan to Kentucky is dumb and it’s always been dumb to anyone that gets the guy and what makes him tick. 0.0% chance. I honestly don’t see him coaching any college program other than Connecticut unless an...

UConn is so tough.

I hate Coach K far more than any grown man should hate a person they've never met This is a true story: My six year old son has caught the basketball bug. I got to coach him this year on his first “real” team. It was awesome and he loves to play. I started trying to teach him about basketball by ha...

I wish this season would just die already.

The most alarming thing to me about where we are 1.8 seasons into the Archie Miller administration is the complete lack of a team culture. It seems like the importance of building the culture was not lost on Archie, as the Attitude is Everything slogan appeared pretty much immediately. But the follo...

Nah, just shows how delusional UMass is about football. Even with the low period the A10 is in its still multiple tiers above the MAC. The MAC is Colonial/Patriot league level I’m not really sure why it matters. If you’re only getting one bid, what’s the difference if your conference is the 8th bes...

The UMass move to the MAC for all sports is another sign of how far A-10 men's basketball has fallen. UMass chose not to join the MAC for all sports back in or around 2015 when it was forced to decide on all in or nothing. Back then the A-10 was in a stronger position sending 3 or more teams to the...

Sad day. I hate UMass but still will be weird to see them go.

Knowing how much work goes in to preparing such reviews, I tip my hat to the thoroughness of each one and the dedication you show to URI MBB and the fan base. I think it is worth acknowledging the longtime work of Spooky’s predecessors in this effort - Obadiah who ran the prediction contest (and I ...

Spookydog is the man.

Keep an eye on him going to the NBA in the future , probably about 5 or so years away but it’s definitely a possibility I think he could go NBA tomorrow if he wanted. Someone would hire him. Does he want to though? Yet? If he goes back to back someone may offer him big bucks to go to the NBA right ...

What? I personally think it’s a fantastic look. This is what we love about the guy.

This is not the first time that Pitino has come across as teetering on the edge of his sanity following a game this season. Not too long ago (after losing to UConn, if I’m not mistaken), he made similarly unhinged statements. (Note that in both cases, the thing that makes the statements unhinged isn...

I like the sentiment but not really sure that on the heels of a 49-47 rock fight between the leagues two premier programs is the perfect time for “there is really good basketball in the A10”.

Hyperbole and exaggeration is 2/3 of my entire communication style OB, so unfortunately, I won't be able to turn that off. Same. People are going to have to live with hyperbole and exaggeration. Sorry, Truepoint, but I’m a fact based person and never use hyperbole, distortion, and exaggeration to m...

The essence of a good discussion is avoid the use of hyperbole and exaggeration. "And Chicago doesn't care about college basketball as a whole, including the Loyola fans in that major metropolis that could barely manage 3400 to go see them play their "regional rival" St Louis last we...

The best part about this is hearing their announcers getting increasingly aggravated as Zek’s points added up haha

Game flow wise, we did to them almost exactly what Duquesne did to us.

This team makes no sense whatsoever. Tonight I mean that in the best way.

Competitive half. Good to see Zek get going.

“Answering you question is pretty easy, [proceeds to say a bunch of stuff that is entirely unresponsive to the question].” Ok, then… I am not arguing with your premise that the A10 is weaker than it has been historically. I am asking you to please consider that the same macro factors that have consp...

At least 2 more years? So if they win the A-10 tourney with the Auto bid in year 5 which can happen in this very mediocre conference you are good with the job he did? Obviously we paid him and there isn’t a better scenario anyway, but how bringing in some winning type players. I was pretty fucking ...

Hey guys! Just wait out the year! Don't overreact or anything! Don't even hint that the sky is falling! I mean….this product stinks to watch. There’s no denying that, or sugarcoating it. Still, we are clearly better than last year in just about every conceivable way. Any hope we had of arriving ahe...

This is what I was worried about. You knew eventually they would clean it up and we wasted a lot of opportunity before they did.

Let’s build a cushion before the Dukes figure out how to take care of the ball.

What a treat to watch my team on TV with professional announcers.

I think it was more that the dude was holding his arm making it impossible for him to grab the rebound.

Between the basketball and the announcing this is one of the most depressing things I’ve ever watched.

I'm bullish. I think last night was a one-off, even with Dayton as a loss - the schedule gets easier for URI. Fans will be back, and the home schedule looks very gettable for us - Fordham, La Salle, Duquesne, and SLU are games we should win at this point in time. Loyola and George Mason are games w...

So you don’t watch our games when we’re getting blown out but you’ll watch high school games? When we go down 30 and my other favorite NBA team is playing, yes, I put that game on. And yes, I watch high school games sometimes when our recruits play. You don't do that right? You're too cool for that...

Go Celts

Hard to know if this is us turning back into a pumpkin or just a random clunker that you’re going to get a few times a year. It was clear from the start that we just didn’t have it tonight; I’m willing to just flush this one and move onto the next, but I really want to see us put out a much better e...

Stephen Jones runs Dallas’s personnel department and Bill and Steve have a very good relationship. Jerry’s reputation as a meddler is probably decade outdated. Regardless, they have, and have had, one of the best rosters in the league. Any coach will have input, but I think if Bill wants to run a pe...

The Falcons were the heavy-rumored landing spot for him around here before this weekend, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he waited to see if Dallas or Philly needs a coach. Those are much better jobs (no offense intended to you as a Falcon fan). Oh I agree, he should absolutely wait to see if those jo...

I think Harbaugh will end up with the Chargers

I can’t hate him even if I want to. What did he do that’s good? I’ve always hated everything about him, but I’d rather not feel that way about people. Looking for a good reason to not hate him…. His smile was the size of Narragansett Bay while embracing Archie postgame, seems to be a man of great c...

This is great. The only thing better than being good is being good by surprise.

We have to do a better job on the defensive glass, otherwise not much to complain about.

First time I’ve watched UMass this year and can tell you that I hate this kid Cohen. Why is the kid crying constantly? 6’10” 220lb infant.

Ok, let’s drop it, yeah?

Two of those for regular minutes are freshmen. Maybe things are starting to finally look good for us. And all of them (crosses fingers) could come back next year.
