PC played arguably their worst game of the season. Didn't deserve to win this in any situation. Henton goes 5-22, Dunn with 7 TO's. However, the one comforting thing PC fans can take is that Dunn is likely back next year. Also, that flagrant by the book is the right call. Stupid rule that should be...

It's a credit to a very well coached team with very good experienced players who in my opinion had a chip on their shoulder from being seeded eleventh. As a Pc fan yes I thought the officials were very bad but we had are chances tied at 33 in the second half and just got outplayed by a better team ...

That call, and the flagrant on Dunn in the first half, were total BS calls.

Agree

Why is Cooley dressed for the prom?

Kudos to those here who questioned Davidson all year. Take a bow. We'd have done better. Now it's up to Dayton, who's undermanned and tired. It is all about the match up and Iowa was not a good one for Davidson. Agree, I was the primary Davidson Doubter, and I had come around. Expected more from th...

3 made field goals through 10+ minutes of the PC/Dayton game. Say what you will about Iona's defense but I'll take their style of play over this garbage any day. Really hard to watch.

Dayton squandering a huge opportunity

I don't get how PC is good. They have 1.5 good players and a tall guy. The rest of their roster is filler.

Playing UMass in front of 86 people at Gillette and squandering our one chance during the season to make some money never made sense to me. Happy with this move.

I has a sad for Bobby

The biggest factor to me for Dunn's decision is his health. If he hadn't been injured so frequently I would feel less strongly that he needs to go. But he should go get paid while his health allows.

Only the top matters. Who cares whose 7th best team is better?

Yep

Doubt they'll win, but they're A-10.

I am rooting for Dayton and for Dunn to put in an NBA-worthy performance. Can't a man have everything in life?

If PC loses Dunn I would NOT count on them being a Top 100 opponent. IDK, Seton Hall was a top-100 team this year and finished 7th in the league. If PC loses Dunn they will take a big step back, but it looks like the Big East has learned their lesson and will do its best to rig the RPI going forwar...

I cannot wait to root for Kris in the NBA, either.

Should be talking about Jarvis. Go Flyers.

I'm not saying scheduling isn't important because it clearly is, but a good team probably can't can't schedule itself out of the tournament as easily as a mediocre team can schedule its way in. If we had beat VCU, Davidson and PC and one of the games against Dayton, for instance, we would be in easi...

I don't know if that makes sense, though, because if they weren't going to play at Stanford wouldn't the game be played in Kingston regardless?

Other NIT games tonight: Attendance at Pitt for their game with GW: 3,049 Attendance at Miami for their game with NC Central: 1,612 Attendance at Tulsa for their game with W&M: 2,547 Attendance at La Tech for their game with CMU: 6,904 Attendance at Texas A&M for their game with Montana: 2,...

As we were saying... While the Gaels are not a great defensive team, Hurley said it could be a sign of things to come for his squad: "I think it's a sign of maybe how we're going to try and play in the future offensively. This year, we've been so great defensively and we've tried to grind out ...

Agree with all of that. Specifically on the timeout thing, it might not help scoring, but it would definitely make the game more watchable.

I do get that it is a little NIMBY-ish to say that college basketball overall should be played more a certain way, but I just want my team to do whatever it needs to do to win. However, I wouldn't want my team to disadvantage itself in order to better the game for everyone else. The changes that nee...

We probably should close the upper bowl with the exception of the very middle sections whenever we don't have a good crowd on hand.

Rod, I know you like arguing with me but I don't actually think we have much disagreement here. Seems more about how we want to phrase it. I'm only against tossing a kid who doesn't want to leave, and you seem to agree. I never said anything about warm and fuzzy.

As Rod said, at the end of the year Coaches have exit interviews with players. There's a very honest discussion about the player's performance both on and off the court. It's in those meetings where players are either praised or told they're not going to play and are nudged to transfer. With that s...

Have to make every one of them count. No stiffs, please.

The 2 home games we get involving the Cancun tourney, will probably be against 100+ RPI teams. That won't help.

Need to have at least a couple of semi-stiffs, Rambone.

I actually don't totally agree you can do both things great. That would obviously be ideal, but you have to prioritize one philosophically, from the way you recruit to the way you gameplan. We can and will be better offensively, but that wasn't even my point. I don't think we are intentionally not a...

No inside out game for better shots?
No better inside defense?

If we had one of the above this season we could be dancing now.

Is this thread my nightmare?

I love our players and our coach and so I've accepted and even started to enjoy our style, but truth be told I would much rather watch an offensive team like Davidson than a defensive one. Probably why I didn't amount to a lot as a player, but I always thought offense was fun and defense was somethi...

So, in your minds, the nearly 500 transfers last year all left because they wanted to leave? Sure. I'm Batman. I'm sure many did leave independently, some mutually agreed with their coach to a separation, and others maybe became a bad fit after a coaching change. The rest (however many that may be)...

Too "Poly Purebred". Sorry, real world big programs don't operate like they're run by Mary Poppins. Only the worst human beings in college sports run off players that they recruited because they don't turn out to be as good as the coach thought they'd be when he recruited them. When you b...

I think we need to keep Watson and Biggie. Watson's a big. We don't have many of those. Biggie's a PG. Same situation. The rest? They can go [sorry if that's crude]. Butler, JR, and Oneykaba are expendable. I would prefer Reischel over Biggie, FWIW. More importantly, though, you can maybe get away ...

Can we find players that can actually dribble a basketball? I've seen enough turnovers leading to lay-ups this season to last me a lifetime.

Fail

GBG, when you have a culture of whining and complaining first it is unhealthy. That is what some of us object to. I've said many times I have my own opinions about things I'd like to see us to do better or differently but those things should not heavily outweigh the appreciation for what these kids ...

I Love Christian Laettner

I really, really loved those early nineties Duke teams. I was too young to know or care about the 88 thing, but I just loved the idea of those guys beating the scary UNLV team.

That is also the type of thought process that could contribute to teams like Texas and UCLA getting invites over schools from non-P5 conference. Name brands aren't everything. Those teams that won their leagues should be rewarded rather than just reflexively inviting an underachieving team with bran...

At least we are the best at something!

As long as they continue to look to number of top-50 wins as the most important item without regard to number of opportunities, it is going to continue to go against non-P5 teams. I don't think that top-50 wins is a bad thing to have as one element of the consideration, but they really should be con...

So we would go to Stanford if we win?

I don't like being in the last bracket

Am I missing something with the Lonergan thing?

URI96 wrote:Probably because they beat VCU twice which is better than any win we have.

So at what point does the whole season matter more than two games? Taking it all the way to its logical extreme, what if they went 2-28 and beat VCU twice? Would that matter?
