An amazing run for UConn. Twelve straight tournament games won by double digits, back to back dominant championships. Last year’s team lost three starters and five of the top eight scorers. They reloaded with one transfer and five freshmen and ran it back. They had five goals for the season and met ...

The story is already getting a lot of play, but I think there’s something very cool about three of the four head coaches in the Final Four being former high school coaches.

I know that, collectively, this place is mostly in some kind of doom spiral, but winning helps. A lot. College basketball is fun, and I guarantee you can be just as connected to and supportive of a two year guy who gets you a conference championship, for example, as a four year one. And, if your ini...

This team, collectively, is kind of crazy and so easy to root for. The roster, 1 through 14, is a solid, unselfish group. Watching them celebrate each other is almost as much fun as the wins.

What the UConn women’s team has accomplished this season is really amazing, given all their injuries. Paige Bueckers is so much fun to watch.

Jared Terrell was at the game, too.

They have a nice chunk of money to offer the next guy. Johnson was the big name who needed a way back in- no need to do that again, just get someone who can gameplan the hell out of a matchup and evaluate/develop players. Those guys exist at all levels, find him.

Archie hired Kenya Hunter away from UConn at the end of August in 2020. A lot of the time, friendships mean nothing when people’s jobs are on the line.

Wagner hasn’t run a real practice since December and only have 7 guys available to play (not a 7 man rotation, 7 total healthy players). They still went out and won their conference tournament and their first four game. I guess someone forgot to tell them that college basketball is awful and has bee...

If he stays not being able to recruit during those 2 periods this year wont help either.

The only thing he couldn’t do was go to the spring/summer live events to watch high schoolers.

I know when Archie was hired, the salary pool for assistants was about $750,000. Anyone know if that’s still the number or if it’s increased?

Aside from UConn (Andre, Malik, assorted coaches), other URI staff connections in the tournament include Preston Murphy (Alabama), Daniel Marshall (San Diego State), and Jerrell Coleman (Saint Peter’s).

I’m confused about why PC fans are coming to our message board today. It’s a massive day for their program as they may or may not make the tournament, and you want to come here to talk shit about Archie? Then again, most of their fanbase is like this, so I’m not surprised. Because Providence fans s...

So happy for Bashir Mason. He won three regular season conference championships at Wagner after staying and taking over for Dan but never made the tournament. This season, he wins the conference tournament at Saint Peter’s, and they’re going dancing.

Archie is a smart basketball guy and a competitor. He knows this has to work if he wants to stay coaching in the game, which I assume he does because that’s been his whole life. The longer the struggles at URI continue, the farther away his Dayton success seems and the more his Indiana years will be...

Melton’s been out a lot, Lowry’s been working back to getting minutes, and Maxey has a concussion. Hi Ace! Thanks for the info. So, most likely, Jeff getting good minutes is a temporary thing. Did you watch the game? How did Jeff look? I was at the game- seats weren’t great and the game was even wo...

Some of you met him as a 10 year old running around the Ryan Center. Andrew’s senior night was special- they clinched the conference regular season championship and crushed Seton Hall (where everyone else in the family went), and he even scored. Danny was a mess. It was great. https://twitter.com/UC...

The Sixers suck without Embiid, but I got to cheer in person for Dowtin last night, which was pretty cool. He’ll likely get a chance because the whole roster is mostly dead. He looked good out there- always composed and steady and he put up a nice stat line.

Jameson needs a famous dad, so he can get more attention. Preferred walk-ons are not a new thing. They’re not on scholarship or a way to game the system to get more scholarship-level players. No one is expecting them to play (sure, walk-ons can, for example, play in all 6 of their team’s tournament ...

Nice last official team event for the champs! It took some planning, but all the players were able to be there, including the grads, transfers, and guys going through NBA workouts. Part of me still cannot believe it happened, but it was all so well-deserved for a really special group of guys. https:...

Fun addition! He’s legitimately a walk-on, though, not a rich kid who can ball and is doing the team a favor by not using the scholarship. His dad became his high school coach a couple years ago, which had to be a great experience for both of them. His dad had his highlight videos out there and was ...

To be fair though, nobody here seemed to care about his track record when he committed either though. Most fans were pretty excited. The replies to you in this thread are insane.

Ashley Howard was in a similar role at Villanova last year. If you connect the dots, it looks like he might be back as an assistant coach since one of theirs got the Buffalo job.

I think some of the impatience from fans comes from hoping that there had been some back door deal worked out with a player of note, and the announcement just had to wait for the appropriate timing. I don’t necessarily think that’s a fair belief to hold, but I get wanting it to be true.

I don’t remember Archie having to negotiate the program out of sanctions and scholarship reductions. Archie’s is a team rebuild, Dan’s was a program AND team rebuild. Maybe they are both shit options, but it’s clear which one is better. All the stuff Archie was given (more money for assistants, an a...
