Re: 3/9 | Fordham | 1:00PM (ESPN+)
Putting Dubsky in is cute but he’s not an A10 player. He was trying to play tough D. Hands up and hustling through screens. I’ll give credit where credit is due. He’s hustling when he is in and no issues with attitude. Give him time. The announcers yesterday told the story of Kyle Rose - when Urgo ...

Re: 2/25 | La Salle | 12:00PM (USA)
Tough to get behind a bunch of guys that give up so easily. The announcer on USA just called them out - "Look how they come out of their defensive stance". There is no pride at all on defense. House and Green with zeros. No coaching adjustment to LaSalle not covering our 5 man at the top o...

I'm not as down on Rhody after this loss as most are as I did not expect to win this game. The guys for Loyola Chicago that shoot most of their 3s shoot a very good percentage, so it seems the strategy was to try to take that away - check (minus a couple of late game lapses).

Re: 1/31 | La Salle | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Winding back a bit - I think we played the PL defense a lot better this game. LaSalle has two very quick guards and we did a good job forcing them middle where the help was. I watched Cam specifically overplay to the edge to force middle and we did not give up the baseline. We may have even over hel...

Re: 1/27 | George Mason | 4:00PM (ESPN+)
We may set an NCAA record this year for least number of turnovers forced during a season.
In all seriousness, if an opposing team did full court, 3 man weave drills with no defense for 40 min they'd have more than 2 turnovers.

A lot of folks criticizing the 'pack line' but honestly it does not appear that we are even playing it.

I’m certainly not a pack line expert, but jumping passing lanes is not a core principle. It is built to stop drive penetration. Force everything to the middle and don’t give up the baseline drive. If you are off the ball, sag to the middle to fill the drive gap and recover to your man. Works best wh...

Any idea why Big Fou isn't getting more time? 9 min today, 5 points, 4 reb.
Fuchs and Brown combined for 47 min and only scored 6 points.
In a blowout, why not play Foumena the entire 2nd half?
