Re: 11/23 | #20 Seton Hall Pirates | 6:00PM (ESPNU)

I know preston was not good, but we can't forget his blocked shot on a break away or stan's blocked shot. 2 huge hustle plays.

Re: 11/23 | #20 Seton Hall Pirates | 6:00PM (ESPNU)

told you all I would have bet the mortgage on the pirates minus 5 (I didn't bet), but undoubtedly my thoughts had a positive impact on this game! :)

now let's go take care of VA and the crowds better return to the Ryan Center on Tuesday night.

under 5 minutes to go and only 19 points in the 2nd half. need someone other than jt to make a shot. have to keep Delgado off the block. let him have all the 15 footers he wants and double if he gets it down low.

Re: 11/23 | #20 Seton Hall Pirates | 6:00PM (ESPNU)

For all those sites projecting scores, I can't believe they are aware of URI's injury situation. That goes for any Seton Hall fans posting on their boards as well. They likely saw us beat Creighton last year and are basing their fears on that. I'm seeing an early Vegas line of Seton Hall -5. I thin...

Re: The EC Wristwatch - Bad Timing

No, this is what I wrote in the game thread.............. I didn't think the Ref's called the game in favor of Nevada, we just had more fouls. Quite a few offensive fouls driving the lane by EC, JT, JG, Dowtin. Nevada set up to take the charges. Some could have gone either way but they seemed to loo...

Re: 11/13 | Nevada Wolf Pack | 11:30PM (ESPNU)

The block/charge call has cost us multiple baskets and given them multiple and-1s. Actually, this is not totally true. I just watched the game on tape again. There were four charges in the game. Two on each side. Yes...both of our charges (Dowtin and Garrett) wiped out baskets while neither of thei...

Re: 11/13 | Nevada Wolf Pack | 11:30PM (ESPNU)

I hope we don't see sky is falling stuff. In my opinion that is probably the hardest game on our schedule, unless we get UVA in the Garden. What sucks is, as usual, we lose the "hardest game on our schedule". Lots of ball to go, but it would've been nice to win the "hardest game on o...

Re: 11/13 | Nevada Wolf Pack | 11:30PM (ESPNU)

All our bigs are just too slow with their feet which led to a lot of reaching and therefore a lot of fouls. Akele is an easy blow by for anyone. I thought we would get a little more out of Langevine, but he looks a little lost defensively and has regressed back to having no touch on offense. Don't e...

Re: 2017-18 Bracketology

I think it's insane to hope quality players leave our competition. I was disappointed to see Miller and Wade leave as head coaches. Those programs will survive, but I want them as strong as possible. This isn't like professional basketball where we hope Lebron goes and plays in Europe so the C's hav...

Re: 2017-18 Bracketology

Anyone who saw our team play in the tourney should have us in the top 25. Our team is essentially what was on the floor vs Oregon minus Iverson. Maybe people are gun shy based on our preseason rank this past year. I think you are minimizing what we are losing. I get that if Hass was able to give ju...

Re: 2017-2018 Predicting The A10 Conference

I appreciate the optimism and I hope everyone here is right in having the Rams on top, but I think we may be minimizing the loss of Hass and KI. Throughout the year our guards spoke of how they felt confident pressuring the ball up top because Hass had their back. That will no longer be the case. Ho...

I don't think Carpano would "lie," I just don't think he's sophisticated enough about sports to really understand the situation. I could see him asking Dan as he walks by "are you going to Georgetown?" and Dan being like "I'm only focused on this school and this team and lo...

RR86, Welcome to the Board.

For all of you who think the officiating had no effect on the game, or wasn't the prime reason we lost that game, GFY. I've been following this team since I was a junior in HS in 1962, and have seen a lot of ups and downs, and a lot of games, and this is in the top 5 of the most poorly officiated P...

2) EC's charge. When it happened I jumped out of my seat and yelled "NO". It was the wrong call. Should have been a block. The block was subtle. I don't think it was a horrendous call. It was just the wrong call at a bad time. I also don't think, as one person posted here, that it was the...

I said the same thing about Bentil, but that is apparently not the case when he was a Freshman. Not saying Langevine will turn into that. He doesn't need to stretch the floor like Bentil, but if he could learn to put the ball on the floor for one dribble without having it taken away and can add a 7 ...

I agree with the Martin foul in the first minute of the game. Probably should have been a no call. And agree it set a tone. I knew Terrell's foul, right or wrong, was going to get called as soon as it happened. I pretty much agree with everything you said except for the fact that the two examples I ...
