Re: A10 Tournament March 2021

I thought St. Bonaventure beat UCLA in a play in game two years ago but rjsuperfly66 has them with no wins. He must be confusing them with his Friars who lucked out a win with 2 seconds left against USC for Cooley's only NCAA win. Funny story about that PC USC game. I was working the NCAA tournamen...

Re: History: Rhody Home Games In Providence?

smart move by both schools, if you have an open date during the week move it up and get in now. You can always make it up later, but makes less of a headache if in fact you have to scramble towards the end of the year

Small but typical bad play by Carey. Up 8 w/ < 30 secs to play and he fouls underneath. They make the first, miss the second, get the rebound and sink a trey. Now you are up 4.
