Danny Sprinkle leaving Utah State after one season is such horseshit. I'm sorry, but to me that's worse than almost any player leaving. Or it's the equivalent of a beloved player leaving for a rival. Like really dude? ONE freaking year? Hope he fails miserably at Washington. Even JMU's coach going ...

Dan wants to keep them. He specifically lobbied in that last contract to expand his pool to pay them more. They’d definitely be worthy of a job - but I think Dan wants to pay them well enough to stay, and wait out a plum P4 spot. Plus if you’re making low level HC money, why would you leave the wel...

That's also assuming Hammond stays and plays.

If he were to leave, as it stands,

winning 10 games would be a stretch.

Legalized sports gambling has a massive influence on the record numbers being set.

All the whining about the BE only getting 3 teams in is a load of crap. The top 3 teams were miles better than the next 3. The only legit gripe belongs to Indiana St. Cannot say Indiana St was only team to have a gripe. Oklahoma and Seton Hall definitely have beef, but yes, the constant whining on ...

Very surprised about Thomas All Conference, tons of minutes, tons of shots, basically did whatever he wanted. Not surprised at all. Why not check out the NIL market and see what he is worth, I am sure they would accept him back anyway. Besides he may have the opportunity to join an NCAAT team. Bask...

Doubt there will be a show to wrap up the season and the path forward, regarding NIL, portal departures and arrivals, status of KJ etc. Don’t think one was scheduled.

It is a shame we will never see these two programs (and similar type programs) play a home and home series. Sucks for college basketball fans in general and robs fans at schools like Dayton of experiencing that excitement. Dayton gets P5 H&H series pretty regularly. Recent years they’ve had Nor...

Ramster, you left off (PF) Owusu-Anane who is in the portal and would love for us to get. That was not the discussion.

I remember when people said we would never get two bids...Not only did we get 2 bids, but both won! You can succeed in this league! Figure it out Archie!!!! Yep, we have a lot of fans on here that repeatedly refer to the A10 as a 1 bid league despite getting more than 1 bid 18 of the last 20 years....

Rhody grudges: Nevada, Oregon, Stanford (especially Lee and Madson). Big west coast flavor. Who am I forgetting ? Not counting the Friars. They hold a more special place in Rhody lore. Duke. Jimmy’s crazy game at Cameron Indoor, Mohegan tourney, the ass whooping we had against them second round.

An A10 team that started 0-5 in conference just beat a Big 12 team who was ranked AP 21st and finished 5th in conference.

I don’t wanna hear people saying we can no longer compete with P5 teams.

Honestly, does it really matter? Even if the portal was closed guys would tweet out that they'd be entering the portal when it opens and they'd be getting contacted by schools. Probably not, 02. There will always be a segment that attempts to circumvent the rules. I guess it’s a question of control...

The NIT results tonight are not helping all the Big East sycophants that have been crying about not getting more NCAA bids.

He also got former target Sean Durugordon there this season, averaged 18 and 7.
