It's impossible for Rhody to make the NCAAs without wining the A10 tourney? FIVE Mountain West just made the NCAA tourney without winning the MW title. Granted (and I vehemently disagree with the committee here), New Mexico had to win the autobid to dance. If SDSU had won, there would be 5 teams in...

RhodyKyle

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 ...

We all have to support the team like an organization now. That is the direction college basketball is heading. We cannot fall behind the curve! Trust An organization sounds like the Boston Celtics. As a fan, how do you support the Celtics other than going to games????? Well, you send Wyc money, so ...

Yup, checked it when they played Northwestern. After that weekend, couldn’t bet them anymore. The app is a disaster so I’m not surprised they’re so inconsistent. The state needs to let DraftKings operate here. I wonder what rules changed to allow RI colleges to be bet on in RI...I thought they were...

RhodyKyle

You could take them on the app during the Mohegan tourney, but then not during regular season. Maybe they only allow betting for neutral site tournaments? The RI Sportsbook app? Odd. Even in past tourneys I haven't seen URI on the app. Did something change this year? Yup, checked it when they playe...

Well Spooky, this may be your last write-up this season, at least according to your prediction. Last I heard Sincere Parker, SLU's top player, is questionable for tomorrow. They surprisingly beat the Bonnies their last game and in Olean without Parker. For me this game is 50/50 for us depending on ...

RhodyKyle

Probably wouldn’t have gotten in if they lost in the A10 finals anyways, but Richmond now with zero shot at an at large with their loss @ GM. It’s a conspiracy. They should be allowed to lose to shitty teams and make the tournament. They should just be let in because the “cartel” is evil. Lost game...

I am out on this guy I’ll tell you that right now. Negative body language all the time. Surprised to hear that. I wouldn't go much by the interpretation of his body language. He seems like an intense player who wants to win badly. He is also one of the more vocal leaders on the team. I would like h...

Just want 1 win in BK so the season isn't a total toilet flush. Would love 2 but not expecting it.

Memphis loves themselves some A10 guards (yes, I know Watanabe isn't a guard)

With the new management you’ve gotta re-up in the system. I don't know, I see the emails come through with my receipt so I assume everything is going along same as before.a As of this month you’ll be refunded for you last payment and need to re-up.

So much talent on this team when they decide they give a shit. Maybe they respond to the public call outs. This is why it’s so infuriating watching them lose. They clearly are a top half A10 team but they just seem to just not give a single fuck. Like they're playing pick-up games in Mackal. Fordha...

If it's an off the court issue, I doubt me wanting him to stay (unless it's trying to get his car out of an impound lot).

I'm no talent savant, but I actually thought he was better at the beginning of the year.

What does this job pay, $100k a year? We will probably neva know, employed by the Collective not the university? If I had to guess < 100,000. Second thought.

….what? No it doesn’t. Without question, first priority is Cam and Fuchs. 3 years left. I don’t know if there’s loopholes for Fuchs with him being from overseas, but if there is, gotta figure it out. If can’t pay Fuchs, Hammond is next for big money. Losing Green next year would suck, but we’re not...

The team has mailed it in already. Based on the attendance last night, so has the fan base. Ya, if the team has given up, why should we give a shit?

Yeah, how did the A-10 get multiple bids back in the day? Winning marquee games in the non-conference and not losing to low majors. Even high majors need marquee OOC wins. Look at Ole Miss right now. They went undefeated in the OOC, 13-0. Best wins? UCF and Memphis who are NIT teams right now. Ever...

As long as he stops throwing up left handed hooks and 3 pointers. Nah he's got the green light to do whatever he wants. Shoot the 3, don't run up the floor, don't hustle - stay in the game.

Some St Louis ppl like him to replace Ford. Makes sense , he had a really good career @ Butler then started off fine @ Ohio State before struggling the last 2 seasons If I was a STL fan I wouldn’t hate that hire ! Maybe Chris Mack gets a call from Ohio State, he is also from Ohio. Besides he had su...

Based on season avgs, I'd expect 11 turnovers for Loyola so URI needs to really capitalize and turn those into points. Especially since Loyola loves to shoot 3s (41% of their shots are 3s), they hit them at 35+%, and URI loves to give open looks from 3.

RhodyKyle

A Richmond loss here isn’t good some bracketologists have them in the field before today The only reason some have them in is by default, non had them in as an at large. Since they were first in the A10, some bracketologists automatically put Richmond in as the AQ for the conference. Yeah, I think ...

If the Louisville job opens up, I wouldn't be surprised if they try and make a run at Mike Cronin.

Does Bobby still love his horse racing to? Perfect fit there in Louisville. I'm mostly joking, but do agree that Bobby to Louisville would seem to make a lot of sense for them if he's interested.

Sorry, don't need a year. Loyola is a good addition because of several important factors: a substantial school in size and endowment, a credible history/tradition in MBB, nice BB facilities, A-10 exposure in the large media market of Chicago and environs, and the addition improves the geographic ba...

This isn’t a negative. The conferences, ADs, etc are going to have to fix this mess bc the NCAA is now powerless. Seems like everyone agrees the unlimited transferring isn’t sustainable so should be consensus to rein that in at some point. I think something needs to be done to curb this path but th...

One thing I don't think anyone mentioned related to Archie coaching his guys is when he pulled Jaden midway through the 1st half. When there is a missed call (either for or against Jaden), Jaden tends to let it get to him and he spirals out of control and it impacts his play on both ends. After a dr...
