Rod, just for a minute or 2. I thought we had it. I came back expecting us to be celebrating the last minute. Instead, it was The Last Minute From Hell. I was at a friend's house, and he wanted to check the end of the Nascar race. So I said OK, for just a minute. I remember it all like it was yeste...

57, if you are expecting 25 regular season wins, then I think you will be disappointed. I just don't see it. Talent or not, are we all of a sudden going to win 75% of our close games? Because that's what I think it will take to reach that number. Out of 31 regular season games, my guess is we are i...

DH is no different than most coaches. They have a philosophy and system and stick to their guns, even through adversity. That was the point. Maybe the Cuse could have 5 national titles if Boeheim played more man-to-man, or maybe they would have 0 and he would have been fired a long time ago. Hindsi...

Read some article with the head coach of Memphis talking about X and he said that if he plays well enough he could become as valuable to them as a draft pick would.

Though Coley is neither perfect nor excellent (yet), he's done a very, very good job at PC -- as he had at Fairfield. Hell, if URI'd gone to one NCAA people here would have gone nuts! Twice -- wacko!

Been a 'cuse fan since making a visit there during the Coleman/Seikaly years. First game I ever saw there was vs Louisville and Pervis (Never Nervous) Ellison....

If someone told me before the season, you could have either an NIT title, or a first round exit from the NCAA tournament, which would you take? Most would go for the Dance, but I'm not sure. Since URI has never won either tourney, I might take the NIT title. That's much more realistic someday. Alth...

Hurley is gone the first time he takes URI to the tournament. His annual flirtation with teams when he hasn't accomplished zilch at URI should tell you all you need to know. I'm fine with it too, but that's just the reality of the situation. Sweet Sixteen run? Let's just make the effing tournament ...

This reminds me of something from a high school story where your girlfriend isn't trustworthy and the grapevine says shes interested in other guys. Just dumb. But did she, or didn't she?

Anyone else notice (and dislike) how almost every single team (because of Nike) in the tournament had the same white shooting shirts with 'Always Reppin" on the front. Did those teams get no choice in what they get for shirts? Yep totally noticed that! I also dislike it. It's just kinda dumb. ...

Better move for us, if he goes..... :P If he's projected 1st round, I think he goes. As we know, a lot of teams draft on potential. He improved tons between his frosh and soph year, so a team that envisions the same type of progression might jump on him in the 1st round. I think Reggie Miller said ...

Until we stop disappointing our fans with losses, close or otherwise, against good teams, they aren't coming. Have we ever been a consistent winner in our history?

Some teams' fans care about the NIT. Most don't. I was surprised when St. Bona filled the place for their game, especially for an NEC team. Who else in the A10 would? Dayton would draw well of course, and VCU, although that would be a letdown for them since they've Danced for a number of years in a...

Why would Cooley leave PC unless he were being run out? He makes damn good money, has been successful, recruits well (albeit few of them see the court, uh, basketball court), and is building a nice niche for himself in the New Big East. Going to Pitt, though in the ACC, is taking a lateral job. It's...

Billyboy. URI doesn't get the casual basketball fans. Most URI fans are alums, students, South County residents, University employees. I'm 60 and have never seen more buzz over PC as now ... social media being a huge factor. URI created a lot of buzz in Harrick's time. We were going big time then, ...

How well do you think kids like those who are so sure they are stars would do in a Dan Hurley coaching environment? Seems incompatible. With all due respect, ATP, someone such as Enoch was coveted by URI, and for good reason. Perhaps, "The UConn System" doesn't benefit a player with Enoch...

Another increase to the assistant salary pool is probably a lock. The threat of losing quality assistants is a disruption Hurley and team would not want.

Here's my two or more cents on all this. 4. Add me to the Preston Murphy for future coach camp. I think Hurley's next move is to get PM back as head assistant and head coach in waiting. PM recruited some of this team and if they can pry him away from Creighton, he'll already be here for when DH eve...
