@BillKoch25: Box score doesn't always tell story. TJ Buchanan perfect example for #URI. New #Rams captain +52 through 14 games this season -- leads team.

The day one of the URI players gets three put backs in a row to fall from the circle under the hoop, everyone in the audience ought to throw their cap on the floor. It will be an event worthy of note. It's a good thing I don't scout for the other team, I could tell them exactly how to beat URI. Obv...

So I ended up going to the game, and obviously took a while to sift through almost 400 of these posts, so apologies if I repeat anything that has been said. Just a few observations: - starting off, there was very few people there at the beginning of the game... about 5 minutes in it actually filled ...

Rob used to be an assistant coach and a phys ed guy at hendricken.

the new court design is great, classic and simple stated. well done. alex and ani is an interesting partner, quite a case study to examine how a brand that sells primarily to twentysomething girls managed to use sports marketing so effectively. not the traditional vehicle to reach that market. but ...

PC will be close to a tourney team for sure, and do your homework because LSU could very well dance this year. So if that breaks its 3, Detroit is always solid, tourney appearance or not. Again you want to argue about our home schedule go ahead, but I highly doubt the choice was a 2 for 1 vs BC or ...

I enjoyed Costantino's Venda Ravioli last time I was in Rhode Island - great patio seating.

I'm curious, what exactly disappoints you more about the away ooc? The distance?

I think this is a good trade for both sides. I'm just happy that I can see both of my favorite teams improve. Loui is a great player (and the b's got some top prospects too), and now Seguin can play a more skill friendly style at his natural center position, and the Stars can move Jamie Benn back to...

My wife and I just saw the Avett Brothers, Grace Potter, and a pretty fun duo from Brooklyn called Matt & Kim last weekend, and there was a huge turnout. Good stuff. There are so many mediums available to access music now, that people are able to venture out and find the good stuff. Youtube, spo...

I would think Texas is an upgrade from Minnesota. Maybe he's thrilled to be in a warmer climate and still get to play with his choice head coach. Not sure if by "upgrade" you are referring to location, but Lubbock is probably not an upgrade (to mn, or pretty much anywhere else). Awful wea...

I'm sure he is happy he survived the confetti canons at the very end...
All kidding aside, what a fantastic game that was.

I don't get why the coach would need to say anything. The thought honestly never crossed my mind that there would be an issue. If the head coach left, maybe. I thought the same thing, but perhaps the coach's announcement was more directed at other programs that might be prone to prodding him as to ...

It looked like Oladipo bounced the ball right into wyatt's legs... But then again, there was a cluster of people there so I'm not sure anyone had a really good look at it.

If you count the "first" round, the A10 is 6-0 with LaSalle's win over Boise

Anyone know when they start their Euro-trip? August?

Brad Stevens is a believer... he has played Indiana and Gonzaga this year and believes St. Louis is a legitimate contender to win the whole thing.

I hope to see them in the Elite 8.

Did not say Wyatt was better, but fact is Chaz stepped up, Wyatt stepped down in the biggest games of the year for each player. Interesting now is that Lasalle is among the last 4 in, UMASS now one of last 4 out. UMASS controls their own destiny now. Lasalle fans should be hoping UMASS loses today....

ND might have the most putrid uniforms EVER!.
Makes you nauseous just to watch them.
Barf!

Watching Baylor and OSU, I'd say Baylor might take the cake on that one. Look awful.

OBRAM, just one word. Wow. Looking at those accomplishments, would URI be a step up for him? He might be looking higher than us. I'll bet he makes at least what Thorr makes now. Dooley would have to offer a good deal more, to even get a sniff I would guess. But what an unbelievable candidate. If we...

Agreed that he is probably setting his sights on a better job than Rutgers. There was a pretty good Grantland article on ESPN last week, profiling Shaka Smart and Brad Stevens. Speaking to Shaka, the writer brought up the notion of moving on to a low BCS if the offer came, and Shaka apparently shot ...

"Adding the new members -- Butler , Xavier and Creighton had officially withdrawn from their current leagues as of early Friday -- is among the immediate challenges for the new league." So X and Butler are now "officially" gone. Actually, not sure if that is what the article ori...

Found this article on ESPN on the NY Public League Playoffs - with a nice writeup on Hassan: "He works from end to end with a solemn expression of purpose and no theatrics, his one concession to showmanship the meticulously unstuck Velcro closures of his emergency green high-tops flapping at ev...

I like that old Tarkanian quote,
"the NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it will probably slap another two years' probation on Cleveland State."

What exactly did they do? Or have the specifics been withheld at this point?

Speaking of Temple, trying to bounce back, up late in the 2nd over Syracuse...

I know this just adds to the NCAA mystery, but this is frustrating. Solomon Poole graduated HS early, didn't enroll until last week, and is supposedly eligible to play for GT today? Anyone know anything more about why he was able to be cleared so quickly? The Onyekaba situation makes no sense to me....

One of the few games I could actually watch this year so far. Powell played outstanding. I also loved to see Dan Hurley coaching on the balls of his feet with that quick timeout call when nik dove for that ball. Great energy all around. I'm looking forward to actually reading about a Rhody win in a ...

This article from SI gives a good summary of the legal and financial hurdles/issues down the road facing the Big East: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-basketball/news/20121213/big-east-basketball/?sct=hp_t2_a10&eref=sihp And I agree with the assessment of "move onward and forward&q...

It is interesting to see where teams start and where teams end up on Power Rankings lists like these. VCU started #2, now is #1. UMASS started #7 and has now ended up #11. This is the first A-10 Power Rankings that came out the week prior: http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/68...

Really too bad. Someone posted this article in the old forum when it was announced he was not going to be able to coach this season. Was instantly reminded of it when I heard the news today. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/bernie-majerus-face-to-face-with-fear/article_97c4b03f-2b06-5627-b...

I like this, as well as Iggy's suggestion keaneyblue.com, or thekeaneyblues.com

New to the board as well, though I've been following it for a long while. Probably won't post much - but excited at where the program is heading, and being in Dallas looking forward to being able to watch URI play at SMU in '13-'14.
