Ehh whatever. He's solid but nothing special. Fuchs and Green outplayed him when we played them. If we had gotten him we would be thrilled. You guys always say bigs take time to develop. Looks like his numbers were pretty good for a freshman big. Hey at least we're doing a good job of observing the...

. of the last couple days Ben has liked or reposted anything that has to do with him coming here. He's liked tweets that say stuff like "can't wait to see you play at Rhody!" That and how on every broadcast they talked about his deep connection with Archie Miller. I still think there's a ...

I agree. As long as Hammond stays, he can leave and no one will lose any sleep. Replace him with a GM as old style recruiting is as dead as a dodo. Or better yet replace him with a defensive and FT coach. Cooley already has a freshman pg coming in next year. Zero chance he goes into next year with ...

NCAA bubble teams also frequently don't perform well in the NIT because players are not motivated after the letdown of missing the only tournament they really cared about. A loss in the NIT — even a bad one — is not indicative of whether a team deserved to be in the NCAA tournament field or not. In...

The MAC and the MVC are prime examples. The power conferences however began to expand and consolidate control. The MAC a...

I wonder how much the committee will look at the current PC team compared to overall resume. The team as constructed isn’t even CLOSE to a tourney team. Under .500 overall. 10-11. Interested to see how much they weigh total resume to wins by the current team. 4 quad 1 wins since Hopkins went down i...

Since it matters so much to you, you don’t need to live vicariously through others. Embrace the role you played in keeping PC out. The fact that you suck so much that it’s a Q4 game for us is not helpful. Let me be the first to say: BOO EFFING HOO! Lol guess I would be a little salty too with my co...

Misery loves company. There's been plenty of that here at old State U. Hopkins getting hurt was the difference. It happens. BtW, UConn will win it again. Everybody else are losing games.

Probably wouldn’t have gotten in if they lost in the A10 finals anyways, but Richmond now with zero shot at an at large with their loss @ GM. It’s a conspiracy. They should be allowed to lose to shitty teams and make the tournament. They should just be let in because the “cartel” is evil. Lost game...

Langel might be able to do better. Amazing that Greg Marshall never got another shot.

Pc is going to come out of this much better off then if Cooley had stayed. Kim English has had more five star visitors to PC in less then a year then Cooley had in eleven years.

There is zero proof “contract negotiations” were happening during the season. Do you not think Porter Moser, Bobby Hurley and Will Wade all coaching right now aren’t being engaged with for the DePaul opening. That’s the business and it wasn’t unique to the Cooley/PC situation. Either you're the mos...

Ok let’s pretend those things are unique to this situation (which they aren’t)…you think PC wasn’t talking to Cooley while he was coaching Fairfield and they knew they were firing Davis.

Are the faithful planning to similarly ostracize Pitino when he comes back next month? His mores haven't always been above reproach, after all... If your going to bring this up please get your facts straight. First off a lot of Pc fans would not have had as much of an issue if Cooley had not sabato...

So Archie just played at UD Arena...and was shown some love. I don't think Penders ever brought Texas to play at Keaney. Certainly Harrick never brought Georgia. Did Al ever bring BC?

I recall no other speculation, other than this alleged Rothstein comment, about the thought of a merger. Anyone with some contact with the last three URI AD's would know how much disdain PC and the Big East had for URI and the A-10 to make such a merger idea implausible. The BE approach has always ...

woodennickel1

I have only heard of one realignment rumor with the Big East adding St Mary’s, Gonzaga,Dayton, St Louis and another team which I can't remember. Personally hope they don't go that way but if that is what is going to get them a better TV contract that is most likely wh a t they will do.

woodennickel1

The Big East was never going to merge with the A10 and take in programs like Lasalle , Fordham and Georgia Washington. Much easier to just take the few programs they needed.

Nut crusher for PC. The way they were playing I could see them a top 6 NCAA seed...not now. 10-11 seed more likely. Tough conference. They have a NET of 62. I don't think at this time they are at large material. Right at this time they would be a lock with non conference wins over Wisconsin and a s...

Big wins UMass and Dayton for the league ! I have seen UMass their a lot better then I expected. Huge difference for A10 this year is they don't as many skunks at the bottom of conference this year.

As you know, I haven't been a big fan of the NET and these rankings will constantly change. Again top to bottom the A10 is very competitive and will beat each other up. That could hurt getting multiple bids if the conf beats up on each other , if one team can put up a 15-3 conf record then lose in ...

Nah, he just took the $, traded up and now is a member of the P6. Great for him, don't blame him and it worked out great. Happy for Dan, always liked him. Let's face it the system is rigged, just look at what the NCAA did to the NIT. 2 teams from each of those conference (12 teams) get auto bids re...

OR, what do all of the teams those other two players transfered to have in common? Football schools. For Football schools, nothing is really a problem, in today's NCAA.

Not sure why you are assuming all those players will be gone after the season. Agreed, in past years they probably would have been gone but with nil now alot more players sticking around. If I had to guess I think they will be back. Of course grad transfer also may be on the table but I would be su...

Difference for A10 this year they have seven teams in top 100 where as I think last year they had two. Creates plenty of opportunity to move up.

Prov loses a lot. But they are likely to lose even more than that from this roster. There is a good chance Pierre leaves with those upperclassmen. They are going to need a huge recruiting year just to be respectable. I didn't see any pressure on Rams this year. Next year - another matter entirely. ...

Zero talk or thread on their forum about the game. Kinda surprising, would’ve thought they would have had it up and running this week. The general feeling among PC fans is that PC is the better team and if they play their game should be a 10+ point victory. Most of the fanbase just wants to take ca...

I was wondering how much of a big/rivalry game the current players feel this is compared to all of us old-school/hard-core fans. Is it just another game to the players at this point?
