And the best part about House and Montgomery...don't have to re-recruit them. They can't go anywhere without sitting so that means they aren't going anywhere. Add Green, Weston and Kortright to that list. So while the rule may hurt us this year with Green I think in the long run it's better for the...

House and Zek should be able to get 10+ almost every game, they score with ease. House is a bull in a china shop, full steam ahead. Zek reminds me of Lamonte Ulmer. Always reminds me of a poor man’s Dowtin and 2X the player as Thomas was last year. Very crafty with the ball. Will definitely need Bil...

House and Ish had similar production levels in their good years, although in vastly different ways. Ish was a high efficiency player last year, whereas House is a player that attacks the rim and draws fouls. House is probably better for a "rebuilding" team that needs someone to do somethi...

My guess would be the overwhelming majority of teams shoot way better in practice than games.

If those translate over (which most of them won't) we would without question have the greatest FT shooting year in college basketball history.

Is this the year where Rhody marketing wakes up and puts Disano and Stevie Mac on the streaming product? Or will we keep them relagated to an app that I’m sure sees minuscule audience. A waste of talent and a disservice to the program and viewing audience. Over/under the app averages 99.5 listeners...

I actually think House is an upgrade from Ish and I loved Ish. He is very aggressive taking the ball to the hoop. He's going to be at the free throw line A LOT. If he can hit 80%ish of his FTs, he's going to score a lot of points. Not a great shooter, but a decent shooter and he's definitely a scor...

A “ridiculous play” isn’t fastbreak dunk where he jumps high, or when hits a pull up midrange jumper.

He hasn’t made ridiculous plays.

We like the beer but why is it so expensive? It costs that much at every stadium in America So why does everyone here complain about it so much?

Disappointing for 'them' = 'good' for us :lol: Still do not understand why people think like this. We want the A10 to get better? The best players need to play, regardless of what team they’re on.

One tier for now with the luxury boxes and press box then add a secomd tier if ticket demand increases. Guessing the new east side stands will be in the 7500-8000 capacity.

Montgomery is the X Factor to me. He's going to have to be the second consistent wing scorer behind House.

So this seemed like logical, settled science. Kortright House Montgomery Brown Fuchs Seemed like he was using Ways as a primary PG - and even had Kortright move off the ball for a bit.

Insane markup is pretty much par for the course at any major arena. Folks wanted beers at games, now you got that.

Knowing how the NCAA works, I wonder if it will soon announce waivers are automatically guaranteed to players if transferring to a member school of the Big Ten, SEC, Big-12, ACC, PAC-12, or BE (similar to the new NIT selection process). All others will have to be evaluated on merit. That won’t happ...

I can't see this as a 25 point blowout. Over the years, multiple teams have lost preseason exhibitions to D2 teams, only to have a tournament team at years end. (Not saying we are a tournament team obviously.) St Johns, although down 2 starters, lost to D2 Pace. Like us, they have almost a whole new...

Not sure what Cuttino is up to, but I looked at Ge...

Eh, $13 for a gansett tall boy is basically Fenway prices. If Sea and Sand is $14 (tremendous beer) gansett should be way lower. That’s why i go with the sea and sand. Way better value. The other Shaidzon (Little Ocean?) is fine/way better value as well Better than Sea and Sand?! No way

If UMass were to go all sports in CUSA, URI would most certainly have to evaluate whether they would want to play their men's basketball program on a fairly regular basis in the future.

All this shows me one thing.

Our arena, investments, facilities, location of the school, proximity to talented recruiting areas, etc do not seem to play much of a factor into our wining %.
