Like Matthews, Bembry will have to adjust to a new role, but he's still a very good player. On that team, especially now without Lodge and Ndao, he's more like first year Munford at this point. Demery and probably Newkirk should be good for them by the end of the season. That's a different Aaron Bro...

I love hearing these names- makes me go look them up and learn something.

I think one of my favorite things about this board was finding out that there was a player named Parfait Bitee.

ace

It's absolutely not a black and white issue, but what I am certain of is that the team has put it behind them. It's done, and this is a very hard working, cohesive group moving forward.

Hurley seems like the type of guy who is above seeing these kids like strictly commodities. From what I heard this was the players decision, not the coach or the school. And whoever said it is right, it's not Dan's style nor is there anything gained by dogging a kid on the way out. From what I can ...

We're fortunate to have Chris DiSano and Bill Koch covering the Rams for us. Agreed. DiSano knows basketball, and it's clear that he's very familiar with this team and talks to those around the program. The new guy at the Independent, William Geoghegan, is also worth a mention. He tweets out info d...

I'm "working from home," so yes. Terrible inbounds pass to give the ball to Manhattan. The Jaspers are good, though.

Watching Georgia State at Iowa State- good to see Kevin Ware healthy and playing

Plus, Franklin Pierce is playing it's third game in three days. They'll probably tire in the second half, but yeah, that's bad for St. John's.

And I've heard both Hurleys mentioned in St. John's talk- only from fans, nothing credible.

ace

St. John's is losing to Division II Franklin Pierce 50-43 at the half. There are some very testy fans in that fan base right now.

I've been following the Drexel-St. Joe's game, too. The Hawks could struggle to score this year.

Cain has an interest in sticking with Delaware, mainly if they stabilize their coaching situation- meaning an extension for their head coach. Memphis and Oklahoma were involved with him at the end before he made his choice.

The only moment of drama in the game was when Bill Koch tweeted that Terrell reached for his left hamstring after making a play. Thankfully, it seemed to be nothing.

Not to be that guy...but that was one ugly half of basketball. I know foul trouble didn't help, but if we play like that more we could be looking at 2-4 in a couple weeks easily. 0 for 3 in Florida seems unlikely, at least I would hope so. Weird game. You knew they were going to win the whole way. ...

Watson will get hacked to death until he shows he can hit a FT, but this isn't new information about him. Martin and Terrell sitting on the bench made this much less exciting to watch. Minnis, Matthews, Butler, Reischel, and Watson got a lot of play together. Why not, it's a good time to see what so...

The situation is less than crystal clear, but there's that 5'11" pg from Chicago, too. I know it makes little sense, but it was publicly confirmed back in August when Brown was finally released from Southern Miss. Brown expressed interest in Rhode Island but there wasn't an open scholarship. Te...

For the second year in a row, Hurley left a scholarship open. They didn't, though. It was reported that, when Aaron Brown expressed interest in URI once he was released from Southern Mississippi, there was not an open spot. When Terrell signed, he took the last roster spot over Gustys or Brown or a...

Still not as dumb as the dunking in warm-ups once the officials are out on the court technical.

Sorry Rod, you're not losing you mind, I moved it to Gustys recruiting thread, since i realized that Gustys/Hare wasn't talked about as much here as there. But here it is: One thing that I think is missing in the Gustys/Hare talk is the roster numbers and the timeline for when all this went down. Ru...

One thing that I think is missing in the Gustys/Hare talk is the roster numbers and the timeline for when all this went down. Rumors of Terrell wanting out of his Oklahoma State commitment surfaced in early/mid April. At that time, with Powell (for whatever necessary reasons exist) and Hare still co...

I'm not even pissed. I sometimes get ranked on for my opinions, but I told you all long ago get ready for a Hareless and Aamanless team after Aaman's "altercation" sure I was happy when Hare "came back" but I was still only cautiously optimistic and explained why, I got ranked o...

Some of the vitriol here is crazy... let it go. He's gone, and the team has moved on already. We should too. This happened less than 24 hours ago. I think we have a right to be pissed. I'm guessing that Dan is... Pissed or not, division two opponent or not, the team kept it together. They knew earl...

So, how did he play for Tennessee, tonight?

'Cause the NCAA seems to do whatever they want to do. He ended up suspended last year, but they made use of the little used "run-off" waiver.

I think they both got technicals. But it wasn't even the most questionable thing Smart did tonight.

Buffalo plays South Dakota State and Kentucky this weekend, so I fully expect Bobby's guys to start 2-0.

First game of the season, people- we made it! Every player on this team, 1 through 14, contributes something on or off the court to the program.
