Dewayne Russell's first two games of the season were actually played at the Mohegan Sun in the same Tournament as us. I watched some of GCU's games there. He had to sit out the first two games on GCU's schedule this year due to the NCAA regarding his transfer a couple of years earlier. Of course, h...

Kuran's offensive numbers notwithstanding, it's been shown that he struggles as a 2 way player. He has been horrible defensively this year, which negates any potential averaging of a double double (which I don't think will happen). Both PC runs in the 2nd half yesterday were sparked by crucial defen...

Lunardi has us at a 7 seed in his latest Bracketology released about an hour ago. Still in very good shape after the loss to Valpo. Need to right the ship against PC for sure, but the "sky is falling" crowd really needs to relax. The Valpo loss wasn't a bad one on the resume, just a missed...

BPR2010

Our supposed "depth" has been pretty non-existent this year as well, outside of Stan. You'd expect Sophomores who got significant minutes last year to take the step up this year. Akele and Thompson have been disappointing to say the least thus far. Dowtin and Langevine I can understand, it...

This is why you don't bitch about the fucking AP poll in november. Hopefully we'll see it again in March. Like I said last week, it's still November. So many things are fluid throughout the year, the constant stress about moving up a spot or getting a vote here or there really doesn't mean anything...

BPR2010

Once again, end of game, out of a timeout, and we get a piss poor possession. It's clear our go to guy is Jared Terrell now, let him do work. It's become a disturbing trend. Overall though, it was our first true road game. Whoever thought it would be easy isn't a logical basketball fan. Road games i...

Shocker of the night is coming from the state of Indiana. The Mastodons of Fort Wayne take down Crean and IU. Talk about a huge in-state upset.

BPR2010

Guys, it's November. Come late February and early March, this means absolutely nothing. What matters is the victory over Cinci and getting Duke on our schedule for RPI/SOS. The opinions of sportswriters around the country really don't phase me at all. Win the next game and keep beating quality oppon...

Bad couple days for the Miller brothers.

BPR2010

The well documented topic of foul shooting was the downfall of USC tonight. Missed 3 front ends of 1-and-1's in the final 2 minutes tonight. PC reaped the benefits.

BPR2010

Our old friend Biggie Minnis will be playing for a tournament berth tomorrow night with Wright State. Had the unenviable task of guarding one of the more underrated players in the nation in Kay Felder down the stretch and got the job done.

BPR2010

Very pessimistic, but none of us can argue #1. They've continually fallen short of beating quality teams this year. Doesn't matter that they've played hard or "hung with" the RPI top 50. A lot of teams play hard, doesn't separate us from any other average team. This is just me, but for me ...

BPR2010

The bigger issue I think to some on this board, is the record against quality opponents. 1-13 over the past 2 years against the RPI top 50 (Not counting Dan's first 2 years here with a low-talent squad), and more importantly, a 1-8 record against those teams in 2 possession games. Now, this season h...

BPR2010 · Re: Game 25: Dayton Friday Feb 12, 7:00PM ESPN2 Wow.

BPR2010

Also, you have to take into account that we are in reality 3 games behind the Bonnies. 2 games in the standings, but they own the tiebreaker over us which means we would have to finish a game AHEAD of them to get the double bye. I just don't see us making up 3 games on them with the schedule we have...

BPR2010

Nova is good. PC without a full strength Bentil hard pressed to beat a team that talented. Only warning sign is fatigue for Dunn/Bentil -- they have carried them with superman performances almost every night and lots of minutes. Could rear its head as they enter home stretch. Barring a Jim Baron-li...

BPR2010

Strongly agree with not having the "go-to" closer at the end of games. Empty possessions become the norm under 5 minutes, whether that is not having a closer or coaching is up for interpretation. It's become a very bad trend with this team and honestly don't see anything in sight to change...

BPR2010

Ho hum, another typical Rhody game. This became a trend weeks ago, we'll continue to beat the cupcakes and lose to the teams that are better than us. Staying optimistic is fine for some of you, but for us realists out there, what have they done to give us confidence they can win on the road against ...

BPR2010

If they can prove to me that they can play good basketball for 40 minutes in a road environment, that's the first step. It hasn't happened at all this year.

BPR2010

We were up by 2 with 2 minutes left, even with the FT disparity. Most teams consider that being in a position to win, which we never end up doing in that type of situation. Didn't score a single point in the last 3:30. Pathetic.

BPR2010

Kind of knew it was going to happen. Every time we're in these situations this season, we piss all over ourselves. When it happens over and over again, it's a troubling trend and pointing fingers is justified. We simply cannot win close games, let alone on the road.

Brooklyn or Bust.

BPR2010

I believe all of those games are tomorrow night, Obi. National Championship is tonight in Arizona, light bball slate.

BPR2010

To follow up GW the other night, Dayton loses to a very bad LaSalle team today. Goes to show that road games in conference, no matter who you play, are never a gimme. Not a good look for the conference, which at least early, seems to be cannibalizing itself with very bad losses for probable tourname...

BPR2010

Nebraska is a bad loss this season. Currently with an RPI of 223, which will crack the 200 barrier as Big Ten play continues. That's not good on the resume. We have zero top 50 wins thus far, went 0-3 in those games. Houston currently has an RPI of 132 which could go sub-100 by the time conference p...

BPR2010

Looks like it just might...and totally fine with it. One of the best games I've seen in recent memory.

BPR2010

And VTech will pull off the upset...road games in conference are never a gimme, regardless of who you play.

BPR2010

Right you are Ace...I like non-conference and all, but college basketball unofficially begins to me when conference play rivalry games begin. I don't have a vested interest in either team or who wins, but anyone who's a fan of the sport should be glued to this game. Fantastic display of basketball t...

We can pray...he's certainly shown flashes of it.

BPR2010

With you on Selden BAR, definitely taken a step up this year. Seemed to disappear in games his first 2 years at KU if given a tough matchup with a physical team. It was too bad he picked up the 2 fouls in the 1st half too. He was clearly unhappy to be taken out of a game of such magnitude.

BPR2010

This OU-KU game has been some high level basketball, has a Final 4 feel to it. Very entertaining thus far.

BPR2010

Just...wow. Truer words have never been spoken TP.

Did EC get his ACL repaired or 5 inches of prosthetics added to his legs?

BPR2010

GW getting waxed at DePaul right now...goodbye ranking unless they can muster a comeback.

BPR2010

It's amazing that ODU does exactly the one thing you shouldn't do to break a full court press. Ball goes into the corners every time.

BPR2010

Atta boy Dan! Way to keep the streak of bench warning/technicals going!

BPR2010

Man, UMass is BAD. Can't watch this crap basketball any more. Glorified pick-up game with the lack of defense on UMass' end.

BPR2010

My bad, beat me by a couple seconds Ace. Onto PC-Umass.

BPR2010

EKU is playing West Virginia on ESPNU. Jonathan Holton, still playing college basketball. I don't know where Jarelle is, though. Caught the opening, Reischel is out with back spasms. Too bad, wanted to see how he played against a legit team. Averaging 20 and 7 though, happy the guy found a place wh...

More on the national landscape, Bo Ryan announced his retirement effective immediately tonight. Sad to see one of the best in the game go. A guy who never had top recruiting classes or highly sought after NBA talent out of high school, but always found guys right for his system and always had winnin...

BPR2010

Tough to say anything that hasn't been said yet. Agree with mostly everything that has been said. Thompson needs to start, plain and simple. Showing us in small spurts what he's capable of, to no fault of his own. Simply not getting on the court enough to show more. Four is a complimentary player if...

BPR2010

Pretty awful day for the A-10 with Umass also losing to Dunk City. St. Joe's is the only hope vs. Temple as I don't see LaSalle keeping it remotely close against Nova.

BPR2010

Dunn apparently left the game tonight due to sickness, not expected to return. Ironic that they're facing Norovirus College tonight. Also, Bentil turned an ankle and is out as well. Probably a pretty even game now with PC having to go to their bench for the rest of the evening.

BPR2010

First off, Ace....wow. What a finish.

Also, TCU currently down 34 to Washington right now at half. I think it's safe to go to bed on that one.

BPR2010

It's pretty clear they can beat/hang with the national powers while we clearly can't at this point. I'll wait on Rod's extreme version of that.

BPR2010

As a Spartan fan (in addition to Rhody), watching PC tonight was eye opening. They outplayed MSU for 35 minutes tonight in pretty much every aspect of the game. Their lack of a bench and Sparty playing 11 guys tonight was the difference in the last 5, just a deeper team. Bentil was the best player o...

BPR2010

On the flip side though, Valentine picked up 2 quick fouls and only played 8 minutes in the 1st half for Sparty. Bentil is playing amazing, only reason PC is in this game right now. He's going to be a handful Saturday night.

BPR2010

Honestly, winning big games is the only way you're going to build a solid crowd night in and night out here. Agree with TP that a game like this wasn't going to get a good draw anyways. Wednesday night likely won't either, although better than tonight. In my honest opinion, until conference play beg...

BPR2010

Good win for PC over a vaunted program, but that is far from a typical Arizona team...there are definitely way more than 10 other teams better than them right now. All you need to know is they had 2 transfers and a Juco in their core rotation, not normal for a blue blood. Were missing their 7 foote...

BPR2010

Can't wait to see Valentine and Dunn go head to head Sunday night...arguably the 2 best players in the country to this point.
