Will the Seton Hall return game finally be played this season? The first game in the two game home and home series was played at the Ryan Center back on December 2, 2020 with no fans in the stands due to Covid. Rhody won 76-63. URI has appeared open to the game being played but Seton Hall has had so...

If realignment takes UConn to the Big 12 or ACC then that will be another hard body blow to the NBE. Any hard blow to the BE will have a downstream affect of a hard blow to the A10 - it has happened nearly every single time. That may not so much be the case. The A-10 was already no longer getting m...

The other factor for why the women's championship drew 4M more viewers was the network. The women were on ABC/ESPN. The men were on TBS/TNT/Trutv.

I know Pepperdine is a dead end job but this is the best they could do? A re-tread who hasn't been a head coach in 20 years and was below .500 at Wright State between 1997-2003.
