Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
I dumped cable, not renewing season tix, and dumped ESPN+. Maybe I'll get excited when we are top 25 again. I did the same when Baron was hired. This team has some serious issues.

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
I don't know about record, but at the beginning of the year I left when we were down by 20. In conference play I left when we were down by 10. I think one game I left at the 8 minute mark in the first half. We lost. I left the game at 7:30pm. Half hour after it started.
