Agree SG. I won’t say they will suck but this is Fordham you don’t just reload there. They lost two all conf level players so to expect them to keep going where they left off seems like massive recency bias. We took them to the wire at their place. We sucked. They benefitted from a terrible A10. I ...

Well, we're getting thoroughly outplayed by those nerds who seem to want it more than what URI is showing. Extremely lucky to even be in this game right now. Certainly not looking like a team fighting to earn a post season bid.

Saw alot of good things overall from the Rams tonight, but again, to many mistakes which ended up costing us this game. This GSU team is not very strong and would be a mid level CAA team in my opinion. Still encouraged with how we hung around and fought until the end. We definitely have the talent t...

It would be nice to have the player names on the back of the jersey, we have not had that in football in years. I could not tell by the video but having no names on the back of the jersey in today's "era" just gives the impression we are a small time program. I know it doesn't mean much bu...

Wow, impressive video, his quickness reminds me a little of Fatts. Hope we get him.

That is a long and impressive list of schools with interest in Battle. It would appear we are very much a long shot to land him. Hoping Archie and staff made a favorable impression during his visit.

Wait, I thought Dowtin "didn't really care about basketball"?

UConn has certainly played like a team who can win it all, hitting on all cylinders right now. They've had a pretty nice road to the EE so far. Iona was only going to stay with them for a half and St Mary's was by far the weakest 5 seed, then getting an 8 seed in Ark. Not to say they wouldn't have b...

This would appear to be a very good get based on looking at his stats, especially against the better teams Merrimack played, but wonder why he'd come here with only 1 year of eligibility remaining as opposed to somewhere he can possibly get to the NCAA tournament.

Shinze88

UConn is going to destroy either St Mary's or VCU, they got a great draw for first 2 rounds.

Shinze88

Count me in the group who thinks we're a better team without Freeman, or at least a more "enjoyable" team to watch. Its not translating into wins, but this season was never really about wins, we're playing with better chemistry and we move the ball around on offense, were just severely lim...

Being a 9 or 10 pt dog to Duquesne is a sobering reminder of how far we have to go to become a legit program again. No disrespect to Duquesne, but this is a program that has been an A10 graveyard for years with little to no fan interest. I'm confident that we'll eventually get there with Archie and ...

" Whether he joins our team for game action, that’s yet to be determined " Not knowing anything about the Harris situation outside of what I read here, to me this is most telling piece of info shared. I'd be very surprised if he see's the floor this year. Hope I'm wrong since even though t...

I'm surprised to see GA St as just a 2 pt favorite at home, so Vegas is seeing this as basically a pick em. I have only seen GA St play against Auburn and it looked liked they have a competitive team, especially their guard play. Winning on the road is going to be a challenge all season for this URI...

Georgia State up 31-28 @Auburn at the half. We'll have our hands full! Been watching a good part of this game, GA State is gonna be a matchup nightmare for us. Good guard play and their bigs can all handle the ball. Giving Auburn everything they can handle. Completely different team that came to th...

One fallacy is that David Cox was a great recruiter. I think that idea died in his first season when his supposedly best recruited class in the A-10 turned out to be a big bust. But more important and here I speak from the experience of being in small meetings with him on three occasions, two of wh...

This team is like night and day compared to the squad that took the floor for Quinnipiac. Guys seem to be figuring out their roles and are responding. Really like the potential of the front court. A little concerned about Martin and Weston, one of those 2 guys needs to step up and give some offense,...

The UNH announcers calling the game didn't mention anything about it at all. Never said, ooh, wait a minute. Nothing. Just cheered their heads off in celebration. Didn't even know it was a "thing" until hours after the game, when people started posting it on here via twitter. We had UNH 4...

I watched SLU against Memphis and they looked way better, so I expect them to bounce back but, it's bad coaching to come out that flat. SLU really needs to beat PC tomorrow. I think they will SLU looked like absolute garbage today, they played horrible on both ends of the floor and gave very little...

It’s clear this is going to be a long year,but this was clearly a winnable game. I only caught the last 5 minutes but I was expecting much more from this team. Not sure why Leggett was guarding their lightning quick guard who just abused Ish on every possession down the stretch. TSU clearly only had...

Shinze88

Stonehill somehow managed to put up 95 points vs Quinnipiac last night, making 12 3-pointers and hitting 17-19 FT's. Let's hope that Archie has a few shooters in the pipeline, it seems to be a big deficiency on this year's team.

URI not able to make any stops when needed and can’t punch it in when on the goal line. Championship caliber teams find a way to do these things, we just always seem to fall short.

With the roster and schedule becoming much clearer, one thing for sure is that it will be one of more interesting season prediction threads we've had in many years. Cant wait to again see meaningful basketball played in the Ryan Center.

Archie Miller, despite being just 44 with less head coaching experience (10 seasons), still has several more NCAA Tournament wins than Ed Cooley at 52 (16 seasons as head coach). One of those Miller NCAA wins was actually over Cooley. Its unfortunate but expected that a few pc fans would try to und...

As frustrating and immature the twins were, they finished 1st and 2nd on the team in points per game, rebounds per game, and blocks per game. The talent is so obvious, and there were some games where both of them were absolutely dominant. It'll be tough to replace their production, but I think it's...

I thought Walker & Martin specifically would see a significant increase in their contributions with the correct leadership and coaching. Both players are glue guys and needed on successful teams. I think both would have been solid players to help guide Archie through the transition period of get...

The big east teams will never agree to a challenge series with the A10. Too much to lose. The BE will never agree to a challenge with the A10 because there would be absolutely no buzz for it to happen outside of fans of A10 schools. As much as some A10 teams improved, we were a 1 bid league if Rich...

I'd like to see Martin and Leggett stay, I think they are the kind of players you need on your team, hard working tough kids who can give you 10-15 minutes a game at the A10 level. Neither of them should see starter minutes, but they are 2 guys I'd want on my team in a reserve role.

PC could lose their 1st round game....it's not a gimme. If they get by that and play Iowa....bye bye. Yeeesh, how little respect the Big East regular season "Champs *****" are getting, they open as only a 1.5 pt favorite over a 13 seed. I know SDSU is a good team, but you think Nova or UC...

I really want to say Leggett but I have a hard time giving the disappointing label to someone who plays as hard as he does. Our collective guard play this year was horrific and I think the twins can be solid A-10 players with proper coaching and at least decent guard play. So I'm going with Leggett ...

Not sure why I even care enough to make this post, but how can Cox have a lineup of Mitchell, Mitchell, Martin, Thomas and Leggett on the floor for the final 2:30 of the game while we are trailing.

KenPom is good for what he is which is a predictive strength metric.

A lot of mediocre choices here just because they're head coaches who don't need training. Grab Kimani Young before someone else does!

Interesting to see that UCONN is a 2.5 point favorite at home to #8 Villanova, while just a week ago pc was a 4 point underdog at home to the same team. Shows you what Vegas is thinking about PC. Every game I see in the BE is an absolute war, no easy games in that conference.
