Why should we have to take all of the BE teams? I'd like to see us select the ones we want. We've already got a league. They're the ones looking for a home. Seems like they (BE) teams are calling the shots. It's like: I'll come over your house for dinner, just be sure your that your kids aren't ther...

I think Billy is just happy to be winning. That's understandable.
I think they play Syracuse soon. He took over a decent team. Next year he'll have to look towards "his" players.
I don't care if he goes to the Final Four. I'm just glad he's not here.

Can't add much to what's been posted by Rod and Ramster. I will say that I'm very surprised by how Hare is developing. He looked lost at the beginning of the season. it's as if Pat Morita took him aside and said "You stay focused, Jonathan-San. You best basketball player inside. Now time to let...

Maybe this would be a good time to re-insert that poll about "Who You Hate The Most-PC or UMass?"

It must be written in their contract that every pc coach has to suggest that all games be played in prov. It won't happen. Last night we lost a game-badly- to a team that could barely field enough players. That is embarrassing. It's hard to win when your seniors are your worst players. The only two ...

I don't know if it's harder to get into the top 25 or out of it.

Wonder what KMac will say then.

I'm sure he'd say that they could do a lot better.

I should have said one of our best posters. Rod is still the man.

ramfan85

I think our newest poster may be our best poster.
No matter what happens down the line, I hope all of our recruits have Mike's heart and supportive family.

ramfan85

Mr. Powell, The members of this board love our team. We want ALL our players to succeed. In a way, our teams can be like an extended family. We can criticize our kids, but no one else had better say anything about our players. With the invention of the internet and boards like this, every little thi...

24-5?

ramfan85

Ask what baron had against him.

ramfan85

I just mentioned that in my email to Thorr. Making fun of the guy's name was wayyyyy over the top. We don't need a comedy routine during a basketball game. Bellowing for the crowd to make noise is not going to work. I'm 63 years old, and I stand and make lots of racket, but those octagenarians in t...

ramfan85

I love our schedule. Hope we play one like this every year. No more cupcakes (especially since Hostess is going out of business).
After Friday's loss, I bet the team is eager to play again, as soon as possible, anyway.

ramfan85

Obie,
Thanks for all the research you do to post games of interest. I always look forward to these posts.

ramfan85

I'd like to see Munford run the point more often, especially at the end of a game. Had it with Powell. There were some substitutions at the end that puzzled me. Why did Hare come out? When he did, there was little hope for a rebound. AAmen hardly played. He may be young, but he knows where he should...

ramfan85

Ditto

ramfan85

Maybe there was some insider trading going on.

ramfan85

There are several A-10 schools who have left the conference in the recent past and several more who are actively looking for new homes with more dollars and better access to the national championship and the lucrative bowl games. They are dying for the other big conferences to extend them an invite...

ramfan85

With Butler just beating Marquette, this game hurts a little more. Could have added to the leagues victories over BE.

ramfan85

Maybe someone will add Canisius.

ramfan85

Good for him.

ramfan85

I'd love to see a few more schools like Creighton, Wichita St. (that used to be a power when I was in Kansas many years ago), DePaul or Marquette join to solidify a western division of our conference. St Louis would probably like that. Their complaint a few years ago was with the travel, not the con...

ramfan85

Some coaches believe it is better to not call a timeout at the end of games. It gives the opposition a better chance to defend. They work on these situations at practice. In this case, in-bounding the ball was difficult. We have limited options this year, anyway. I have no problem with the decision ...

ramfan85

Another great effort by the players. They deserve better. I'm so sick of NIK. If Hurley tosses him, it's fine with me. His teammates should be disgusted with him.
There's no NIK in team.

Billy had 9 points.

Very depressing.

Did Shepard go to pc? He's always hated URI. Probably couldn't get in. Good thing he's such a loser that no one listens to him.

ramfan85

St. Joe's win was great. They looked a lot better than UMass. They play smarter, too. Now, if we can just upset OSU today, it'll be a good week for the league. ( I can dream).

ramfan85

I'd like to see these guys playing now. They would definitely make this year's team a lot better. Their playing experience this year would help next year's team. I also think that the coaches are going to be able to continue to bring in good talent. I guess a lot of us are too used to seeing big gap...

ramfan85

I actually felt sorry for PC last night. They played so hard and fell short on a put back. UMass fans can't feel too good. Imagine how they would look with just 6 or 7 scholarship players. I still want them to win non conference games, though. Good for the league. If they lose all of their league ga...

ramfan85

Knowing how slow the NCAA works on eligibility issues, I wonder how Billy Baron got cleared to play for Canisius so quickly.

ramfan85

I'd rather have UMASS win. They are in our league (for now anyway). It would be a league win.
I'd never be happy if we only had one win and it was against PC. I only want them good when we're good.
Agree about their fans. They're nice people (they just don't know any better-lol)

ramfan85

Agree with Rod. I think Munford will start next year. Is Biruta projected as a center or forward? We need a shooter and a big man. Where's Jon Clark when you need him?

ramfan85

Besides being low in numbers, I thought the Friday night crowd was very quiet for most of the game. The only real noise seemed to come from that boob with the microphone who was trying to turn the game into The Jerry Springer Show. As for this year's team, I don't care who shoots, as long it goes in...

ramfan85

After the decade, I wouldn't mind having a lot of point guards-maybe 10 or 11.lol

ramfan85

Our frontcourt is a "C"? I'd hate to see a "D".

ramfan85

This team really hustled. Unfortunately, there isn't much talent this year. My first look at Munford. I wasn't impressed. Maybe it was just a bad night for him. I've heard a lot of good things about him. Hare has a long way (and a lot of pounds) to go. I don't see him contributing much this year. Bi...

Daniel was a punk. And, what kind of under 17 tournament only requires the defending champion (at 26 years old) only have to compete in the finals to retain his title? Good thing the A-10 doesn't have that rule...

ramfan85

I really expect TJ to thrive under the "D" -Man.

ramfan85

Can't wait for this season to star (officially). Friday will be a good test. I don't expect the NCAA to act quickly on Big O. After all, we're not in the big (l)east. That would just be a bonus. But, at worst, we've got a lot to look forward to for next year.

ramfan85

Agree with above posts. This is the first year (for me) where winning games is way down the list of priorities. If we develop as the season goes on, and play hard every night, we'll be winners in my mind.
Let the long -12 month- pre-season begin

ramfan85

I don't believe players who are not on this year's active roster are allowed to play in exhibition games. (It's not a stupid question).

ramfan85

I expect that this year's team is going to get more cheers than any team we've had in a long time. Rod's right. We don't boo our players at URI. This year's team is going to be special. It's not easy going into a season knowing you don't have the guns to compete with competition. They're going to gi...

Too bad we didn't get Jequan Lewis. Then we could have a front court of Martin and Lewis...

Wasn't that the school that Scott Baccula played for in the old movie Necessary Roughness ( I think that was the name of the movie)?
