Re: Games of Interest - 2023-2024 MBB
Since it matters so much to you, you don’t need to live vicariously through others. Embrace the role you played in keeping PC out. The fact that you suck so much that it’s a Q4 game for us is not helpful. We do embrace it, quite well! And if we’re ever a bubble team while PC is terrible and we then...

Re: Conference schedule breakdown
Double Bye is the number one goal. Attaining that after the start they had would fully instill the possibility that anything can happen. It usually takes 12 wins to get a top 4 seed with 13 being a safer number. So, go 10-5 the rest of the way and it gets you a double bye. Some would say that is VER...

Honestly a good way to look at it. Much improved team, now obvious we are well inside the 300's. Next goal is to be comfortably inside 200's because that was far from guarantee when we came out of last season.

In trying to avoid looking too much into one exhibition game against a DII team, I would say I went in with a certain expectation they’d look the same as last year, but they exceeded it rather easily. Could mean nothing, but was fun for first time in 2 years.

Paid $14 for a Shaidzon tall boy tonight and guy next to me paid $11 for a 12 oz Whalers. It’s certainly better than not having it, but can’t agree more that there is a right to be taken back by the price when the Dunk has bigger beers for same price up the road.

Sam made such a huge play diving on the ball for that jump ball, only for the team to waste it fouling up 3.
Offensive sets were also just okay at best last 3 minutes there too.

Wild to think I’m going to sleep this happy on the first day of the Tournament, without URI coming close to playing in it. Practice facility in 2023 will be similar to the Ryan center upgrades Hurley helped make in his second year.
1 step back this season for 2 steps forward sounds ecstatic.
