Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker

I was at Pittsburgh for the whole series as was NYG 208 and many of the KB crowd . If you look back on KB after the Foordham loss I said they could turn it around and win out and they did . You gotta believe . It's contagious and the team needs to believe it too . we can begin to create that feeling...

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker

I agree BlueMAN I remember in Dan Hurley's A10 tournament year they lost 5 games in a row including a home loss to a terrible Fordham team and most on KB were about done with Hurley . his team turned it around with 8 straight wins and then a win in the NCAA tournament over Creighton .

THE EARLY LINE URI VS SLU A10 Tournament

ST.Louis has been installed as a -2.5 favorite . Couldn't beat them at home , but still a winnable game with a good effort . No big bettor advantage
with this line . C'mon Rhody , here is your chance to start the turn around .

Still tough to count on either of these teams to play well and win . But any money put down on this game would have to go on The Explorers side.
