Rooting for Duquesne. They got placed as an 11 seed against 6 seed BYU. Other "bracketologists" were predicting them to be a 13 seed.

Duquesne celebrating the win reminds me of the moment we broke the 19-year NCAAT drought in 2017. Really happy for them. They look like a great rebounding team too.

This is like the section of an arena where the fans sit with paper bags over their heads lol ...

I'm starting to think URI should have made an effort to hire Ed Cooley after he left PC.

A guaranteed round of 64 exit every year would still be far better than the trainwreck of a program that we have currently with Archie at the helm.

Wagner just won the NEC and is headed to the NCAAT, presumably as a 16 seed that will play in the first four. I guess the only silver lining from this season is that URI defeated one NCAAT team ... safe to count this as progress?

I've reached the acceptance stage of grieving. I've made peace with the fact that we are probably never going back to the NCAAT in my lifetime. Once you do that, everything is fine. No worries, no anxieties, no need to argue with anyone. All we need is a down year for the A10 where we have an offen...

I think we're good enough to be competitive for the first half of a game in the A10 tournament second round. That's it. It would be a miracle if we play in the quarterfinal round on a Thursday.

Yeah, but the defense has been bad all along and we're still 4-5 in conference with an easier upcoming schedule than what we've played At some point we have to recognize that no matchup in our schedule is easy as long as our defense plays this bad. This is the type of team that can give up 85+ poin...

This Ram team is very immature with a shocking inability to protect the ball. Expect them to suffer a second straight rout on the road. Don't know if you get the memo, but part of being a member of this community is to have optimism even in a slow rebuild ... The game hasn't even been played. There...

A reminder that in 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. This is unacceptable tonight. It's one thing to try and lose, and it's another thing to completely give up on defense and surrender basically 100 points. A...

For the people that want Duquense, LaSalle, and Fordham out of the A10 as they are a liability to the strength of schedule and overall quality of conference play, where would you want them to be placed in? I really don't think the American East is an option since they are not actively engaged in exp...

If that's the line for the St. Bonaventure game, I would hate to know what the oddsmakers predict for Dayton on Saturday...

It wasn’t too long ago that winning 2/3 of your games and losing the A10 tournament championship game meant you were a lock for the tourney. Look at the 22-23 Dayton team as an example. They only got NIT despite their overall record and performance in the A10 tournament. The precipitous decline in r...

That's huge for the team morale. Excellent first half finish! Honestly exceeding my expectations lol

This is exactly the type of game I expected from Big East officials. You have to beat PC by 10 to beat them by 1.

I'm not trying to sound the alarm on this team but Archie has to eventually have a statement win in his second season. There is a tendency on this message board to keep blindly giving him second chances, which I understand to a degree since he did take over an abysmal roster from the David Cox days...

Foumena has an underrated shot blocking ability and has shades of Hassan Martin in his game. That two-man game with him and House is deadly.

Does anyone know how much Hurley's bonus from UConn would be if he wins the title?

Hurley's getting hit with a lot less technical fouls than he used to, which has also helped the team's composure. Kudos to the progress he has made with what looks like the best squad left in the tourney.

Hurley vs. Musselman would be an all-time battle of coaching emotions. Please let it happen basketball gods. Well it has already happened Somehow I forgot about that URI vs. Nevada game during the Hurley era... But Uconn vs Arkansas (if it happens) would still be two coaches who are always losing t...

DH offense looks a lot more fluid than it did with us , he must have way better assistants Sanogo 29 and 12 wow Not sure that Iona’s interior defense is even trying that much, but I do agree that the Hurley offense is definitely more fluid and also attack heavy. He is lucky to have a player like Sa...

A VCU vs. Kansas Sweet 16 would probably be a blowout by Kansas or a toe to toe game with VCU winning by a free throw. No in between.

Rest assured, Archie is the next Hurley. He will sign both a 6'7'' shotblocker and a talented point guard this offseason and will lead the 2033 Uconn Huskies as the #4 seed in the NCAAT.
