I know Pepperdine is a dead end job but this is the best they could do? A re-tread who hasn't been a head coach in 20 years and was below .500 at Wright State between 1997-2003. There had to be some young plucky assistant coach eager to climb the ranks as opposed to a 58-year old re-tread. 9 NCAA t...

Even though I went to college in Worcester and worked and lived in the area for close to a decade, I have vowed to never attend an event there. Have had plenty of opportunities (some even freebies) with friends and family but have turned them all down.

It doesn't seem like 25 years ago. One of the strangest days in URI basketball history.

Tom Penders seems to have liked his URI days. Even later bought a house nearby and went to Rhody games after he retired.

I remember all the lines they had on that court Walsh gym early 80s watching the BE on TV With Dan Calandrillo scoring from all over the court. Walsh is similar to Keaney as it also had a stage at one end so the facility could be used for events outside of athletics. https://www.app.com/gcdn/presto...
