Really? Guys, cant we all just get along. LET IT GO...this is not what I come to KB for. If I want to hear all this bickering I will stay in court. Agreed - someone put up a tweet, then admitted a "my bad - I didn't see/realize - this was for the WBB team" and that should be that. Why are...

Unless the A10 implodes, and loses VCU and Dayton in the next couple of years or essentially goes belly up, this is a downgrade for UMass hoops. No question about it.

steviep123

I have to wonder if Martin knew about the probability of UMass switching conferences 2 years ago when considering the job.

steviep123

woof....that game again. Too many blow outs. While I certainly wasn't expected to jump to the NCAAs or even NIT in season 2 or did I have the expectations as many did, I was expecting us to be more competitive this year. I didn't really have much of an expectation as for actual record, but anything ...

I've said this before, and I know I'm not the first either, but every time this comes up I think how I'll just never understand why the NCAA and these schools don't just break off football in to its own thing and leave everything else alone. Make up whatever football conferences or divisions or wha...

The UMass collective thinks it’s proactive.

Albies! Have such great memories of their steak and cheese - I used to go at least once a week back in the early 90s. Glad it's still kicking!

steviep123

This is crazy - it would have been better if they could have been a football only school. It will be a step down for hoops. I wonder how Frank Martin will take it?

To quote Blue Man's "Conversely, Dave Cox also had Jeff Dowtin - but what did he do with him? Moved him off the ball and had a significantly less intelligent PG running the offense. How did that work?" - 5 plus years later and I'm still infuriated by this awful decision.

I definitely agree about the DePaul angle. Coach killer and it'd have to be the right kind of midwest person coming from a lower level program to even sniff it. From the Bobby angle, no shot would he and Dan coach against each other. Bobby's made plenty of money at ASU, he could easily afford to go...

steviep123

Good questions regarding DePaul and Bobby, PMM. Personally, I don’t think Bobby would ever consider DePaul just because he and Dan would be going head to head 2-3 times a season - and I don’t believe he and Dan want to have to do that if it is avoidable. I don’t think they have the stomach for it, ...

I watched the first half last night and have the 2nd half on queue for tonight. I'm proud of the team's fight in this game. The got down 7-0 out of the gate and had a couple of 10 point deficits (15-5, cut to 3, then back to 10 at 22-12 if I recall). From there they chipped away with runs to a 2 poi...

Haven't watched the game yet - by oh my what a 2nd half based on the score - can't wait to watch it later.

Georgetown is perhaps a marginally better job due to historical prestige. The reality is he has the same staff, worse resources, a comparable salary, a higher cost of living, an apathetic fan base not showing up to games or funding NIL, while playing in the same conference. Yes, it's a challenge. F...

Okay, 3 wins, then streaking in the wrong diretion with 3 losses - grr. On the road at Dayton and SBU is understandable (though not by 30+ points). At home vs. Fordham is not. This team is not the same as the one playing the first 3 games. We need that team back. May a new winning streak begin at GM...

Thanks Spooky...one question - it appears the math isn't working out in the Historical:

Historical
Series: 19-25
H: 21-11, A: 19-19, N: 1-1

The H/A/N would add up to a Series being 41-31.

It was my understanding that there would be no math....

steviep123

The best move would be to allow football to do it's own then and the other sports stay alone. That way football can bloat itself all it wants without ruining college hoops.

steviep123

we're now streaking in the wrong direction. Make it stop!

For the people that want Duquense, LaSalle, and Fordham out of the A10 as they are a liability to the strength of schedule and overall quality of conference play, where would you want them to be placed in? I really don't think the American East is an option since they are not actively engaged in ex...

One game at a time....one game at a time.

The Big East was never going to merge with the A10 and take in programs like Lasalle , Fordham and Georgia Washington. Much easier to just take the few programs they needed. And that is exactly what it did. The original Big East Catholic-7 would never have broken off from the league had they not be...

steviep123

I never said it was plausible or going to happen. I simply wrote that Jon Rothstein tweeted that the A10 should offer the 7 BE schools to join. I'll dig up the tweet if I find time.

steviep123

Getting legitimately mad about stuff you 100% make up in your own head is, uh, very weird. But that’s just me. I think it's more about getting mad about the leadership of the conference not being able to have identified that opportunity when it was clearly evident. I don't have the time or energy t...

I don’t miss that game. Top 5 worst feeling walking out of RC. BAR, was that the game where if they won they were in and if they lost they were out? I remember that game.
