I'd be really frustrated too! I hope they can be in the bubble mix this year. It would be good for the A10.

Ramfan85, so according to Andy Katz and his contacts at the NCAA, there's no real rule stating that coaches cannot talk about these scrimmages. It will take some time for coaches to learn this, since they are rightly concerned about breaking any NCAA guidelines.

Some nasty dunks featured in the St Joe's Hawk Hysteria event:

Dayton defeated Ryerson 89-62 in their first exhibition at Dayton Arena and drew over 10,000 fans. Nice to be the only show in town... for miles and miles.

Chris DiSano interviewed Dan Hurley at A10 Media Day at Barclays Center as well as all other A10 head coaches. Videos are available at the A10 website video center.

What's $150k when you're getting $4 MILLION a year from Fox?

Andy Katz has been on this crusade against the secret scrimmages for a while. He spoke about it at length in his College Basketball podcast this week.

Agreed with that.

Isn't kickoff at noon? Not much time to enjoy Giro's pre-game.

Heh! Thanks for that objective outlook!

In RI, CBS Sports Network isn't offered in HD on Cox. That's a bit annoying since the games are produced in 16:9 and look like they've been shrunk when I view them on my HDTV. At least NBC Sports Network is in HD.

Kentucky spent $400,000 on their Big Blue Madness. Let that sink in for a minute.

EC too!

There will be two more games produced under the A10's media package that haven't been announced. This is one of the reasons the full TV schedule including Cox has not been released. The Athletic Dept plans to release the full TV schedule Monday one way or another, and it will include these 2 additio...

NBC Sports has posted their A10 preview and they have VCU as #1 (big surprise) and Rhody at #6

Best I can tell they haven't shown up on my credit card statements. And if that's the way they're notifying people, that's pretty lame, imho. Just received this email: Rh ode Island Men's Basketball Season Ticket Holders At this time we wanted to let you know that your requests for additional Rhode...

Absolutely! Go Biruta!!

Love this exchange:

Jim Parisi:
Do you owe the coach for bringing you here, or does he owe you for your willingness to sit a year?

Gilvydas Biruta:
I owe coach Hurley more than he thinks I owe him. When he brought me here to URI, he resurrected my game

Richmond's Robbins Center has been getting a major facelift and modernization over the offseason. They held an open house once the new HD video boards in all 4 corners were installed and operational. Ryan Center will be transformed next season if we're all goes well. Great job, Spiders! http://www.y...

I like how Shaka answered. You really have to qualify your response because the question did not specify time remaining.

Part of me wants UMass to make the dance if only to wake up their dormant fan base. It will only help the A10 and region to have a strong UMass program a few hours drive away. It will make any UMass games at the Ryan sell-outs too. Of course, I want as many A10 teams to get to the dance for NCAA cre...

Agreed! I'm looking forward to all the coverage from Jim Parisi for the Arizona trip next month.

Studley, those were my seats for my first 3 yrs of season tix. Then I had J 19-20. Great spot!

Thanks for sharing that account, Essam!

It sure looks to be the same situation and similar substance to Clay's issue earlier in the season. In cold weather, I believe pitchers are given more latitude to get a better grip on a cold, dry baseball. They are allowed to go to their mouth when it's cold. I just think there's a difference betwee...

Link on top of thread will get you to the place to buy tix.

Yeah. PC is underrated in every one of these lists. Definitely at least 5th for the Friars.

Depending on what row in 205, I'd still suggest 205 for scoreboard view, center positioning, and better, wider, more scenic concourse.

Like with Bucholtz, Jon was probably using a mix of rosin and who knows what (sunscreen??) To get a better grip. Not the same as "doctoring" the ball to change its flight characteristics.

Nothing to come from this. Cold weather baseball.

I really don't think Bryant's increaed brand, if that happens, cancels out the benefit of playing a better quality team vs some of the garbage we have paid to play at home.

No way Bryant hurts rhody. They are limited to what they can achieve in the market.

Last year, Bryant was ranked higher according to KenPom than New Hampshire, Maine, NC A&T, Lowell (Obviously) AND freakin URI. So don't get all caught up in the geography part of it by comparing UMass and other Mass-based teams. Everyone complains about the quality of our OOC home slate, and if ...

Surprised you think Butler could start before some of the deep talent we have at guard, Ramster. The vibe some of our best media is getting on Butler is that he's situational -- definitely not a started or someone who will get a plurality of minutes.

Ramster, you seem to be so sternly against Bryant for some reason. So playing a game vs a team contending for the low major conf title vs any other garbabge opponent from far away. I don't see why you are so against this when nobody here is advocating for a home/home agreement. Once in 10 years? Bry...

He looked thicker at madness and he is 6-8.

... which is why it's comical to see Rhody picked 9th in some of these prognostications.

The streaming offering would coincide with home games produced by Cox, so yeah, they're related.

Yeah, who cares about starting. I agree that Mike Powell will likely be game 1 starter, but might not even have the most minutes at the point by the time they leave Arizona (hopefully with tickets to MSG!).

Awesome tweet from our Head Coach.

I think Cox is delayed because with 3 national networks, the A10 national TV schedule was released later this year than previously. It has a cascade effect. Cox obviously had to wait to see which home games remained un-televised, then look into getting rights for a few away games wherever possible.

Baby steps in this department for Rhody. Maybe after this season, Rhody Madness can move to the Ryan Center to take advantage of the new video system and lighting. I would think the crowd will only get larger.

Yes, I believe we did.

Every year we will need some "winnable" OOC home games and Bryant would be a good option every few years.

Assigned seating at least in the "chairback section" which is the side closest to the main entrance and under the "luxury suites".

Yeah, no home and home, but they are a better alternative most years to bringing in some low D1 team from far away.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a planned excused absence given the timing.

Also, this is the LAST thing I'd thought we would be discussing when I first read the title of this thread.

I promise to come back to Giro's!

The Dude should also be going.

Thanks for the tip!! I will get some this weekend when I'm in providence.

Great writeup in the The Sporting News on these annual "points of emphasis" the NCAA rolls out which ultimately create confusion, frustration, and inconsistency.
