Thank you to all of this year's participants! It only feels appropriate to do this on the eve of the A-10 tournament start for us (unfortunately). The winners are... OVERALL CONTEST WINNER For regular season record, nobody guessed 12 wins overall. There were three guesses for 13 wins, and one guess ...

That is absolutely bizarre that either she went out there for the postgame presser, or that they made her go out there for it. Or that they just didn't wait until after it to fire her.

Wow, love how it looks! Really cool.

Indiana State making a hell of a run - 14-1 to get within three of Drake with 5:20 left, 70-67. It's on CBS, if anyone is looking to toggle between it and the women's game. ETA: Holy hell, Indiana State knots it with 4:08 left, 72-72, on a 3-point shot - and a foul. They'll have a chance to take the...

Putting Dubsky in is cute but he’s not an A10 player. He was trying to play tough D. Hands up and hustling through screens. I’ll give credit where credit is due. He’s hustling when he is in and no issues with attitude. Give him time. The announcers yesterday told the story of Kyle Rose - when Urgo ...

Interesting in Dayton's 91-86 OT victory they got zero points from their bench. All their starters played over 40 minutes and scored in double-digits (14 pts or more). PG Javon Bennett was out with a thumb injury, his status for the A10T is currently questionable. Their win also knocked VCU out of ...

I’ve waited decades for a big like Foumena. Back to a life of 6’7 1/2” centers I go. I guess? I mean, he's promising, but he's averaging 1.6 blocks and 10.9 rebounds per 40 minutes. A lot of his stats are similar to the Mitchell brothers, except he's listed at 6'11" and they're 6'10". I w...

The Foumena thing realllly f'n bothers me We finally have a center with P6 size and skill and either the coach doesn't believe in him...and likes Tyson Brown's game better or some damn reason...or Fou just refuses to do what the coaches ask him to do. Like wild offensive sequences and not doing wha...

Estevez OOC per game: 18 minutes, 7.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals, 0.8 assists, 45.7 percent from the field, 40.5 percent from 3. Estevez conference per game: 23 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.5 steals, 1.3 assists, 38.9 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from 3. So, yeah - He probably ...

One of the guys who actually plays hard and looks like he cares. Makes no sense. Not saying he's been good, just that at least he tries. It still surprises me that as bad as we have played, Foumena hasn't even seen the court in the last 2 games (zero minutes). Either there is something going on beh...

I'm a broken record on this but Tammi's reluctance to play highly recruited freshmen is a terrible strategy. I think if they were good, they'd be playing more. DeChent is going to finish the year shooting close to 29 percent, on a team that's been starved for shooting, and she's mostly had open loo...

Good move by Tammi to move Debroise to starting PG 7 games ago and Tammi moved Dee Dee Davis to the wing. Davis had a combined 20 rebounds in the last 2 games we won, both against Dayton. Davis is also scoring her best all year and shooting better since moving to SG from PG. Tammi said Dee Dee love...

But if you look at it another way, we're #1 when it comes to worst NET! We're #1!

Wish you guys were #14, but it's a big hill to climb. FYI: Today 11 am https://twitter.com/UMassAthletics/status/1764807984377405462 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GH3bgQmX0AAhU7z?format=jpg&name=small UMass Athletics : https://t.co/82BUS9Rkly ESPN+ : https://t.co/92KKNJd78B YouTube : https://t.co...

I just hope we do not enter an attendance death spiral like UMass. Multiple down years took a huge toll on their numbers. Even with 20 wins this season (present record of 20-10), their average attendance could not even get near 4k as it was only 3,477. This was actually less than the prior year whe...

I think I'll make a post with everything at once after the Fordham game, just so its not piecemeal.

woooo im so happy

I am seeing Loyola at a 93 NET ranking today - up from 96. Good team for A10 standards; not so much for NCAAT standards, unfortunately. It is a reflection of how far away we are and where the conference stands despite being the 8th ranked NET conference. It is unfortunate Loyola couldn’t play bette...

Try to keep discussion about players who transferred in past years here, whereas 2024-25 transfers should go here:

viewtopic.php?t=10001

Looks like Jarrett is a '25 recruit, most likely at guard or the wing, since she's listed at 5'9". There are some clips on her Twitter account from this year, and she had a longer scout video posted following her sophomore year here:

An odd situation, especially since it has happened at least twice this year - I think Texas Tech had this happen earlier this year as well. Davidson has 15 players listed on its roster, but in its three most recent games, it looks like they went 6 or 7 deep. Looking at their top players in minutes f...

PER is weighted more toward offense than defense and has its issues as a stat, but URI has no players in the Top 30 of Atlantic 10 players who have logged at least 10 games and 100 minutes. I'd be shocked if any of our players warranted serious consideration for an All-Conference team. Foumena is ac...

Speculation was already high before the season that this might be it for Dambrot. The health of his wife and the Dukes performance (had higher expectations) this season have only increased the talk. It’s likely Fran Dunphy retires too He has done a very admirable job stabilizing the ship, 22. He is...

Dubsky has a stat sheet 1 rebound, 1 block and 0 steals in 72 minutes. That might be true but statistics are deceiving. Most of the 72 minutes until recently were played during a “ garbage time” scenario. This kid might blossom. The fact that he's not getting those stats in garbage time is worse. H...

re: Dubsky, he kind of looks like short Rory Stewart to me so far, or Matthew Butler. Like if a dude at the end of the bench can hit a couple threes in garbage time but is otherwise unplayable, he oddly attracts more attention than other types of players. If he wants to stick around another year, th...

Imagine going through an entire conference slate in the MAC? Every loss is a Q4. I imagine UMASS will pull a UCONN and jump back one day. Most likely UMass basketball will be dead. What's their goal? To be the next Akron? Or Ohio? If Frank Martin stays there and can recruit guys to play in the MAC ...

100% I forget what college football coach said that exact same thing. There are 40-50 football schools prob even less if we are being honest that are driving this entire seismic change that could damage/alter the fan experience forever. College sports fandom isn't the same as pro sport fandom. The ...

I think with international prospects, the danger is less losing them to a bigger school via NIL, and more that they get scooped up by a European professional league. As I've mentioned in that "where are they now?" thread, most foreign leagues have caps on the number of American or non-nati...

Yup, if we were trending upward that would be more buzz, since we aren’t many have checked out, maybe I will keep the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions on in another room. It is absolutely nuts how many of these champions and second chance and wild card tournaments they had in the can because of the...

If you're looking for some good beer and a burger I'd go to the Mews..... Yeah, of the places mentioned in this thread, the Mews has the biggest selection of beer, and while their new menu is pricier, I do think the food has improved. Celestial Cafe, I never think to go there because it would requi...

I think Loyola is having a really nice year, but they're 0-2 in Q1, 3-3 in Q2, 16-2 in Q3+4. Their strength of schedule overall is OK at 114 to 130, depending on the metric you look at, but they oddly reflect the A-10 overall. Meaning, a bunch of good or pretty good wins and not a ton of awful losse...

https://x.com/billkoch25/status/1762201103775465624 I don't see this as the end game for UMass, just a path for them. I have a feeling this is a steppingstone for them to eventually get an invite to the AAC. That would kind of require them to stop stepping on their own dicks long enough for that to...

Name a player who walked from URI who put up a 42 spot. I’ll wait. Matthew Butler had games of 35, 31 and 27 after leaving URI. I think Thomas is better than him, but I'm still doubtful he'd be playing like this against tougher competition, and in an environment where his team wins games. It probab...

It looks like they've written about one of our incoming recruits, Ayanna Franks, in the past. I'm not sure if there is ...

Bracketmatrix has 6 MWC teams in the field where are they ranked in conference NET ? 7th ? I think. I will double check. ETA: MWC is 7 currently. Is it another argument for less is more? I haven't really vetted out this thought entirely. MWC is 7th in NET but they don't have mediocre teams, the tea...

theblueram wrote: ↑2 months ago How about a court storm for excessively losing? Like a protest storm? Has that ever happened?

Kind of!

I'm not sure if there is any result that would surprise me, from a URI 20-point win to a 20-point loss. Both teams are just really erratic.

Again Blue Man and PRT, it is wait and see what happens next season. We should expect a dramatic change for the better, not saying we should be "Dancing" in 24-25. That isn't asking a lot considering Archie was considered a "Splash " hire and the program upgrades from the staff ...

Starting with the GW game, Weston has produced each game. Seems to be fully healthy for the first time since he’s been here. Definitely want him staying, think he will be a quality piece going forward. For me, I think it would depend entirely on who you think you can get instead. He has had product...

Yes, I can confirm those rumblings also, but not at liberty to discuss, gave my word. Can't those who've heard share some generic info and leave player names out of it? I'm not looking for names, just want to get more of a feel for what's going on behind the scenes. Dangling the ole carrot and then...

Talkin talkin Bassy talk… Bassy doesn’t suck that’s an overstatement, but he’s not a player Miller wanted coming off the bench. Would we have been a better team with a better record with him vs Kortright or Wright? I don’t think so. I have no idea if Thomas transferring was more about him wanting s...

If Juwan Howard gets fired at Michigan, what school do we think is a more attractive basketball job? OSU or UM? My initial thought was Michigan, but it's closer than it seems. More historic success, probably slightly more resources, but its not like OSU has been a dumpster fire. In both jobs, the e...

I think Loyola lacks a great win, but they've pretty much beat most of the teams they "should" have beat, which is more than you can say for us. I don't think they're a serious rival for Dayton as best in the conference, but they're in that next tier with Richmond and others to me - winni...

NYG, Imagine having to live through that as a player/competitor. Ooph. Brutal. Yes 208, On top of that is Coastal Carolina (6-17) playing in the Sun Belt Conference. Brayon Freeman plays for them but doesn't play much at all. Yuck...only thing worse than being on a sucky team is being on a sucky te...

Hopefully Archie will give us an update on Green's status regarding his knee injury. Yeah, that didn't look good. Non-contact injury and almost immediately ruled out for the rest of the game. Hopefully it's minor. It would be nice to not have the worst injury/eligibility/availability luck ever. Bil...

https://x.com/a10stats/status/1757210469582938222?s=46&t=odNT-Bw9b7C5-u2_Sq4FrA That's a fun chart! I asked the guy if he could average for GP, and conference vs. non-conference going forward, which he seems open to. Still, King's contributions are impressive. The list is interesting, in that b...

Oof, that sucks, and it sounds like a major fuck-up by Alabama.
