Like I said, it's now a crime to be an older white person in America. Some of those baggy shorts are about as good a look as those morons with their pants on the ground with their underwear showing. Oh, and Greenwell, my mother loved the British Invasion era music. Like I said, kids like Bruno Mars...

Optimistic

I don't care what anyone plays or pipes in, spare me that (C)rap. Take in mind the demographics of who's in the stands. Big Heads are dumb, too. I guess the cheesey giveaways are needed to keep people awake. Plus all that screaming at timeouts. Impossible to talk about the game with even whoever is...

Optimistic

There a few football games this season (a winless season mind you) that drew very well, but I think that was mostly due to events not related to football such as parents weekend and homecoming.

Optimistic

I think its apparent how Hurley feels about the pay tournaments, considering the fact that Wagner opted not to play in the CBI or CIT after not making the NCAAs/NIT last season. Neither Hurley or Cooley are the types to settle for mediocrity.

Optimistic

I can't stand Spike Lee. Its always about him, no matter what team he's rooting for. You'd think he was a player the way he celebrates at Knicks games.

Optimistic

Who cares what this hack Cordischi has to say? Everything he writes is designed to create controversy and therefore page views. Do the world a favor and stop clicking and posting his links.

Optimistic

Games today are on CBS Sports Network. Channel 94 for Verizon customers. No HD.

Optimistic

Leaks to the press happen all the time. You guys are making this out to be more than it is.

Optimistic

As has been said before, if this weren't true URI would just deny it. They haven't. Their no comment on the topic says all you need to know. Thor is going to Xavier, and if you think they're going to back out because someone blogged about it you're insane.

Optimistic

Don't understand why today's games aren't on NBC Sports. They're showing a fishing show instead.

Optimistic

I'd rather they hire Doris Burke than Greg.

Optimistic

Didn't realize that it had to be a tech because of the fact that it was a dead ball. Makes sense, the ref called it a personal at first but T'd him up when he realized it was a dead ball. Even if the refs got it right, not a great look for the A10. Team wins by shooting 11 free throws in the last 5 ...

Optimistic

Anyone else catch the end of the first A10 tourney game? Richmond up 3 with less than 10 seconds to go, Charlotte is on the line for 1 and 1. First one goes down, but going for the rebound a Richmond player shoves a Charlotte player. Ref sees it, gives a tech to the Richmond player. Certainly should...

Hmm. Why would he tweet this? Even if that story is jumping the gun, isn't Thorr going to end up at Xavier eventually anyway?

Optimistic

PC flopped out of the Big East tournament today, losing to Cincinnati 61-44. PC was 1-16 from three and shot 28% overall. Enjoy the NIT boys!

I think everyone understands that, but does that mean we can't discuss it? Are you secretly Rod's second account??

Optimistic

Yeah this isn't anything official. Billy's not even the best player on Canisius.

Optimistic

Jordair Jet is mediocre at best. Nothing against the guy but he's a bench player, not even the best player on his team. I'm sure GBG is thrilled, but X deserved some accolades for a fantastic individual season.

Optimistic

They described Wyatt yesterday on NBC Sports as having "old man game" which I think is the perfect description. Seems to barely get his feet off the ground when he takes a jump shot, but it always seems to find a way into the basket.

Optimistic

All bball players are like that these days, doesn't concern me. In one of the game write-ups it was mentioned that Martin lets his play speak for him on the court, nothing flashy or disrespectful about him.

Optimistic

Hare reminds me a lot of Outerbridge, but with a higher ceiling. Let's not forget that he was a top 150 recruit coming out of high school. Starting next year we're going to have a better crew of big men than we had in all of Baron's time here. I like the post-up, bruiser type just as much as you do ...

Optimistic

Iggy has never spread false rumors on this board. If he says Rutgers has Hurley on their list, I believe it. The world's not ending just because another team is eyeing our coach. If anything we should be flattered.

Optimistic

SC Independent just posted this update on Williams to facebook: "Per CCRI coach Rick Harris, Creighton making late push for Knights shooting guard Desmond Williams. URI, Quinnipiac, Loyola Marymount also involved. Harris said URI is still Williams top choice. Harris spoke with LMU coach Max Goo...

Optimistic

Florida Gulf Coast and Belmont have also had their cards punched.

Optimistic

I'd prefer someone who's been an AD before and knows what he's doing over a big name hire like Bobby V, who has zero experience being an AD.

Optimistic

You might have better luck over at the A10 board considering the fact that URI won't be there: http://www.basketballforum.com/atlantic-10-conference/

Optimistic

Akeem seemed liked a good kid, but he's ancient history. This program is focused on kids who play well in every facet of the game, not ones who do one thing decently well.

Optimistic

Stream is up and running. Quality looks much better than last games. Ive watched a lot of low quality streams in my day, but that Umass one was the absolute worse.

Optimistic

I doubt he has the job in hand right this second, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was a candidate for the X job. I hope he stays for obvious reasons, but I wouldn't blame him if he took the job. Probably better pay, definitely a better conference. And Rod, you realize you're just as bad as the peo...

Optimistic

we blew chances to win this one, but the refs certainly did us no favors. BS tech on Munford, phantom foul on TJ at the end. A10 had to make sure the team w/ postseason aspirations won this one.

Optimistic

down again for anyone else?

Optimistic

stream isnt up yet, should be working soon hopefully

and for future reference, this thread on the A10 forum usually has streaming links to all A10 games: http://www.basketballforum.com/atlantic ... links.html

Optimistic

I highly doubt we're in the mix for any of St. Mary's recruits. Anyone notice St. John's suspended their leading scorer just in time for the PC game. '85 used to always say the BE was like the WWE. Teams that really needed wins, always seemed to get them. Are you trying to say the Big East is someh...

Optimistic

Can we please stop conflating defending Baron and critiquing Hurley? My ID is not gonerodgone. It is gonebarongone. I doubt there is a soul on the planet happier than I am that JB is gone. If you disagree with anyone on this board, its because you're a Baron-lover. Its been like that for years, it ...

True story.

Nowadays that'd be a recruiting violation lol

Optimistic

Yeah the NCAA committee is much less biased than the poll voters, thank god.

Optimistic

Ugly game, but a win is a win! Our good FT shooting and their awful FT shooting was probably the biggest factor.

Optimistic

Guy shoved him when he was out of bounds. Should be a foul.

Optimistic

We gotta focus on ball security and free throw shooting from here on out.

Optimistic

Was that really a travel??

Optimistic

Gotta get it together out there. Playing PG is not Munford's forte. TJ needs to step up.

Optimistic

Yeah iPads can't run flash, which a lot of the streams use.

Optimistic

33-28 URI at half time. Considering how poorly we played at times, I'll take it.

Powell's line needs to improve if we want to win though: 2-9 FG, 1 reb, 1 ast, 1 turnover.

Optimistic

I'm a fan of Mike P., but he couldn't be playing any worse right now.

And streaming is free, just click the link.

Optimistic

Yeah I muted them, couldn't take it any longer.

Optimistic

Injury timeout for TJ, not sure what happened. Bigby with two steals already.

Optimistic

13-10 Duquesne, X going to go to the line for three after a timeout. Maybe getting some freebies will get his shot going.

Optimistic

6-0 start for Duqesne. Terrible start. Bad defense, bad offense. Jordan Hare goaltended a shot by Powell that was going to go in anyway.
