Re: The 2020 Coaching Carousel

Maybe "won't leave" is strong, but I doubt he would leave this year or in the next few years...though money and opportunity does talk. Aside of the long winning streak, Belmont was also one of the top sides in the country ATS. They faded at the end as starting center (Nick Muszynski) got h...

Re: The 2020 Coaching Carousel

I doubt that Casey Alexander would leave Belmont...he's an alum and just got the HC job a couple of years ago. Though the Bruins did not have any covid issues of their own, many of the opponents of their original schedule had issues and had to cancel. They were to be a part of the 8 team Orlando inv...

Re: 3/4 | Dayton | 9:00PM (CBSSN)

Long night for sure...agree with a lot of what has been said, but I'd also recognize that Dayton is a VERY good team. It seemed like they were looking to make sure there was distance between them and the 2nd/3rd best team in the conference and they accomplished that barely breaking a sweat. I have b...

Re: 3/4 | Dayton | 9:00PM (CBSSN)

While I would not want all games to have a 9pm tip, I for one welcome this start time. I come from distance, so the kids afternoon activities will be out of the way and I'll be able to get some food and drink prior to the game and get into my seat for the anthem. 7pm is nearly impossible to get acro...

Re: 2/13 | Richmond Spiders | 8:30PM (CBSSN)

Count me among those excited about the late start tonight...enough time to watch my kid's HS hoop game then make the trek south, with what should be plenty of time to spare and actually get into my seat before the tip off. I wouldn't want 830tip every weeknight, but 7pm is difficult for those coming...

It'd be nice to be able to find and meet people, make a post to social media to publicize the event -- during the event. - I can't remember the last time I bought a concession, ...

Re: Game 24: George Mason Feb 9, 7:00PM OSN

Great game last night, played as a team on both ends of the floor from start to finish. Great to have Garrett back and playing at such a high level, which frees up Four on both ends of the floor - and he responded with a lights out shooting night. Defense swarmed all over the place and switched up a...

Re: Game 21: vs St Joseph Saturday Jan 30, 6:00PM TV: CBSSN

Among other things, one of the worst things that crew did was to give the official "bench warning". The way it was done, running away to the scorers table to have them announce it....they basically gave coach the green light to go nuts the rest of the game since they weren't going to toss ...

Long ride home Saturday night, too angry to post or read this thread yesterday. The three main reasons we lost that game are this: - Could not connect on an outside shot. It just wasn't their night, thought maybe there were times they settled from the outside when they could have brought the ball in...

Though I did find people to use my tickets, Sunday is youth hoops in MA - not sure if the same in RI? With both my kids playing, Sunday afternoon is an automatic no-go for us getting to a home game.

Re: Men's Soccer 2014 Season Thread

This weekend is an "international window". If the MLS had playoff games this weekend, players like Jermaine Jones and Lee Nguyen would have missed the game since they were called to play for the national team.

I also enjoyed, and miss, the Jim Harrick era.

Re: It's time for the hex!!!

Would have been nice to get off on the right foot and at least get a draw. Winning games on the road in CONCACAF is extremely tough. An uninspiring match for sure, but plenty of games to be played. If they lose at home (to anyone not named Mexico), then I'll be concerned though yesterday's game did ...

It's too bad that football can't go the way of ice hockey where that sport can be in a different conference than the rest of the sports for a school.

Re: Game #9: @ Providence College - InGame!!!

Very disappointing result, team left the intensity in the locker room at the half. Once they got behind, started hoisting up threes in an attempt to catch up, couldn't hit a thing and game got out of hand. MANY empty seats, traffic was a bear, brews too good at Trinity to see the tip off! I too miss...
