Re: oh no!

Cordishi wasted his time writing an article like that. No coach worth his salt would go to a program start the rebuilding process only to leave and do it all over again. A coach would want to build the program up to the point where they would be in position for a great contract from the school they'...

Re: If the season ended today (A10 standings)

The A-10 close losses are the real killers. Bonaventure, Fordham, Richmond. Think about if we had won just 2 of those 3 where we'd be sitting. I know we had other close conference games but these were games we all figured we had a shot to win before tip off.

Re: If the season ended today (A10 standings)

They both play each other also. So that guarantees that the 12 slot is at least 5 wins. One hope we could have is that we win minimum 2 more and Dayton wins that game vs SBU. If 5 is all it takes to finish 12th then we would have the tie breaker. Not going to be easy but mathematically its at least ...

Re: ALERT: St. Bonaventure Game Rescheduled for 7pm Saturday

I want to go in the worst way but I'm worried about the roads after the game. The temperature is supposed to drop into the teens by 9 o'clock. I have a feeling they'll be frozen solid where the plowing wasn't done up to par.

Re: ALERT: St. Bonaventure Game Rescheduled for 7pm Saturday

Like Rod said, Sunday still makes more sense. Does the A-10 think the storm is going to stop and we are going to have instant pavement on the roads?

I was wondering the same thing so that I could watch it again. The game was so good I could watch it over and over. I doubt it though. The production was pretty low budget. They had to rewind the tape constantly just to show replays.

Two calls involving Munford killed us. The offensive foul call where the guy basically flopped when X put a forearm on him. Then the no call when we are down 3 and the player has him wrapped up was just absurd. Killer to lose that one after fighting back so hard. Unfortunate that we fell behind 18 t...
