Re: Ex-coaches returning for a game...
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. UConn wasn’t talking to Dan in the midst of a historic season for Rhody? Do you recall how we ended that season?...

Re: 1/20 | Dayton | 12:30PM (USA)
Seems like the jolt received from the addition of David Green, the return of Fuchs, Kortright’s solid play, etc etc has all just faded away. Can tolerate a lack of talent to some degree, but I can’t stand the inconsistency with the effort. Defensive effort is pathetic.

We sometimes do polls at the end of the season. I rate it as D, passing only because Archie set the tone by removing Freeman after the Mason game. But he has a lot of work to do. Agree with you Rudder. D is a fair grade. Could have been worse but overall it was pretty awful. After Hurley’s first ye...

We are ~25% through the season and ~60% through the non-conference schedule. The pulse from the board is that despite the 2-6 record we need to be patient, trust the process, and overall there are positive signs the team/program is moving in the right direction.
