If the regular season champ got the auto bid there would be no reason to play a conference tourney. No incentive for the other teams. Conference would lose money. Yes, my point was to cut out the conference tournaments and instead award the bid to the team who earned it most during the regular seas...

Anybody else hear Hurley call Martelli the "A10 coach of the year" in his post game interview?

Jeff is so fucking good! 16 pts 3/4 for 3, TEN ASSISTS AND ZERO TURNOVERS

dagger by umbc to vermont's heart. step back three ftw. vermont lost one other game since conference play started This is the main reason why I think the auto-bid should be awarded to the regular season conference champion. Vermont is clearly the best team in their conference, yet they're not the o...

Our offense is doing respectable this game, 11 assists, 40% from the field 42% for 3. Just need to lock up defensively and chip away at the lead. I'm confident we bring this back. Stop fouling too! CANNOT afford to have foul trouble this game

Wins mean a lot more in March then they do in December. I don’t disagree. It’s nice they have the opportunity to correct these early season missteps. They wouldn’t have that opportunity in the A10 and i believe they’d be on the outside looking in No they would just win the tournament. Yeah, as long...

Go Rhody! Time to find out if we're going to beat the shit out of GM or SJU

Good argument against conference tournaments. I agree with what the authors are saying here

URI'21

BM - fans becoming nervous (within reason of course... excluding those who really lost their minds) when our team performed worse than usual going into the post-season is normal and I don't see a problem with it. We didn't look like ourselves against St Joes & Davidson and discussing what happen...

URI'21

We should be worried regardless! No such thing as a freebie in March, and I think the mindset of a team being an easy out is what cost us vs St Joes. Our guys need to bring fire and intensity, not a "don't play too shitty" mentality. Regardless, I'm 100% confident we win Friday, but "...

Any teams that have a couple good bigs like Duke would give us fits I wouldn't mind a Nova or Xavier teams with good guard play we match up well Imagine Berry trying to guard Bagley from Duke at the start of a game ?? Agreed. Duke would be the toughest team for us to beat IMO. Bagley would be like ...

Although I am very firmly on the 'optimistic' side of the spectrum about the state of our team, if we lose our first game of the tourney I would definitely be nervous on selection sunday. I think there is a slim chance we lose our first game, but for the sake of hypotheticals I'll explain my reasoni...

Wow it sucks to read through these posts, some of you guys are the most obnoxious fans. Everyone's in a good mood and happy when we're winning but then we lose a few games and suddenly everyone's bawling their eyes out and attacking the players. Huge, YUUGE line between constructive criticism and an...

Why are you still here? We'll offer you a free pass to hop back on our bandwagon when the second weekend of the tournament begins if you just stop posting

Looks like good ole Jesse was right after all:

I'll try the first positive spin. This is the ultimate refocus game. You can't have a worse loss than what happened tonight. Losing, by THIRTY points, to a vastly inferior team, on SENIOR night. You can bet your family that our players are as pissed as we are, and they're going to come back FURIOUS ...

Dicky V doing Texas vs Kansas game. He makes a big statement after KU player hits a three, “I like shooters who when they take a shot it has a chance of going in”. I kid you not. He also thinks every team he does a game for should be in the tournament. His field must be up to 80 teams. Tonight he s...

I disagree. I'd love to get an overrated, middling power conference team like Cuse or Louisville and beat the shit out of them.

Jesse Newell's rankings are a JOKE per usual. How are we not in his top 25? He has CREIGHTON ranked ahead of us. They're 7-9 against quadrants 1 and 2 ......

Random post here, but stat junkies might appreciate it. The opponents that have beaten us have an average RPI of 17. This is good for the second best in the nation, right behind #1 in the USA Today Coaches Poll Michigan State, whose average RPI L is 15. http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2018/nitty-l...

i'll pull for the friars tonight. going by RPI wizard, if SH loses tonight and ALL 3 of their final regular season games, their RPI drops to 51 and URI loses a Q1 win. If SH wins only at St. John's their RPI is 42 and if their only win is at home to Butler, their RPI is 39. I'd roll the dice that t...

IMO we should be rooting for PC. Getting them into Quadrant 1 would be great for our resume.

Wasted my time reading this "article" for the first time today. Literally any person on this board could take 15 minutes and write up a better piece than that. Inaccurate and condescending.

In reply to URI '21 , I never said the loss had killed the dream of a tournament run . if you would reread it it says it would make it harder to achieve the dream of a national championship . How is that stupid ? Are you saying the loss will not make it harder to advance in the NCAA tournament ? If...

URI'21

3 seed looks like it's out of reach. 4 seed sounds like a stretch... we'd need other teams to pick up some bad losses to taint their resumes

IMO if we win out from here we're a 5... with one more loss we're a 6 or 7. No complaints here.
