If Hammond leaves we will back to square one. Who the fuck will want to come here? If KJ does leave hopefully he convinces Hammond and Farrell to stay. At least for a year anyway.

stay hungover.. thats a good idea also - altho wouldn't raise $ and tv$ for ncaa the ultimate goal would be to get more mid-major teams in .. like Rhody granted this would also allow for much more P5 teams get in.. but.. it also can help the a10 i think its nearly impossible with this landscape to ...

I know everyone hates the Big East, but try not to be completely bias here. Provide at least some context. Biased? Damn right. If two little kids were shooting marbles on the sidewalk and one of them was wearing mental-hospital gear, I'd root like hell for the other. Cool story man, congrats.

NCAA bubble teams also frequently don't perform well in the NIT because players are not motivated after the letdown of missing the only tournament they really cared about. A loss in the NIT — even a bad one — is not indicative of whether a team deserved to be in the NCAA tournament field or not. In...

The NIT results tonight are not helping all the Big East sycophants that have been crying about not getting more NCAA bids. All three BE teams that played today lost, even with the advantage of having two of the games on their home courts. Butler and Xavier not even close to the bubble, they are ir...

Can we at least have some transparency here? The A10 has a media rights deal with NBC, CBS and ESPN. How much is that worth to URI and how much is going to the players? If the men's basketball team makes the NCAAT, how much of the NCAA credits is going to the players? This is the pie the players wa...

I’ve watched zero seconds of his games, but from everything I’ve read, I don’t believe losing Farrell is anything to get up in arms
about.

I don’t think there are program changers at any level anymore. If a guy is successful, he’s probably being tampered with and will end up transferring up after a year. It’s a sad state of affairs in college athletics right now. Complete mess. Any rumors on players potentially leaving you guys? There...

I hate saying this, but I dont expect us to ever repeat our NCAA tourney runs again. The new landscape is stacked a mile high against us. SDSU and FAU made the final four with a bunch of no names.

If what I saw on twitter that KJ might be leaving, there's probably a chance that both Hammond and Farrell decommit. I think it was BAR that posted it, so it's someone who knows, not someone just throwing shit out there. https://x.com/samurai_hoops/status/1769749675064602883?s=46&t=RiOaTCLvtjhX...

Just another reason its kind of pointless to get all worked up over recruits.

He couldn't break the rotation on a 12-20 A10 team.

Another thing I heard today is Fox holds the Big East contract , so that was part of the reason the BE got screwed with only 3 teams and UConn tough bracket Oh my god dude.

Today was a glimpse into the future for the Big East. I can remember three decades back when there were many non power conferences that regularly sent multiple teams to the NCAA. The MAC and the MVC are prime examples. The power conferences however began to expand and consolidate control. The MAC a...

P5 teams have more money to offer than we do, in most cases anyway. Those 2 are leaving not only for more money, but to join a program who is more likely to make the tournament.

Tragic ending to Brown as they miss 3 of 4 free throws in the closing seconds as they fall to Yale 62-61. Brown led by 6 with 27 seconds left but clutch threes by Yale took the game.
