Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25

Isaiah Miranda is entering the portal again. Pretty sure he left the Oklahoma State program a while ago, only appeared in 3 games. Don’t know if Archie will show interest but I know Bryant will be involved. He's played in three total college games and has transferred twice now. Dunno if that's a re...

Re: Rhody Rehab is Open

For all his upside and talent, he certainly lacked some IQ, and based on what we saw on the court he almost willfully didn’t want to be coached and do his own thing. This isn’t Dave Cox. You don’t get to do whatever you want. You saw where that gets you. And if you have a player who doesn’t want to...

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

Yeah I'm in the "single bye but not a double bye" camp with most other folks. If you assume Dayton and Richmond get two of the four double-byes, the other two are wide open. But I just don't think Rhody's quite there. Yet.

A reminder that in the Hurley's second year, the 2013-14 season, his biggest A10 conference play loss was by 16 on the road to a darn good VCU team. And the best Rhody team in the last 25 years lost to a 13-15 St. Joe's team 78-48 at home. Similar game feel. Not too worried about it as long as it's...

Worst defense since Baron's final year, per KenPom... and it's alarmingly close. One or two more bad showings and it could dip below that.
