Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel
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...

Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel
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...

Re: All things Dan Hurley/UCONN THREAD
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.

Re: Houston, we have a problem

Re: Conference Realignment
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...

Re: Conference Realignment
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...
