If we can hold on and get out of here with the win, it'll be a big confidence booster coming off of the EC injury. I know that sounds simplistic, but I think it's really true. This Valpo team is not a bad team at all. Definitely. Aside from Maryland, Valpo is probably our toughest out of conference...

Well at least the defense looks good. Hassan with 5 blocks in the first half.

I would think this might be a sensitive subject. If I were a student, there's no doubt I would 100% be skipping class for this. But how does the university feel about encouraging kids to skip class for this event by promoting the hell out of it? And just for the record, I'm on the students' side on...

Seems odd to leave at this point after staying on the team for 3 years. Might just want to enjoy his last semester and a half of college without having to worry about basketball.

Yeah, but college basketball is a real sport and college hockey is not. Baseball is a more popular sport nationally than basketball, but at the college level it isn't. Basketball is the clear #2 college sport. How is college hockey not a real sport? And out of curiosity why do you dislike hockey so...

Not sure if this has been posted yet but it's pretty crazy to see us projected as a top 5 defense going into the season.

Opiates and cocaine in his system with track marks on his arm. Tough to see anyone going through these issues especially a guy like Odom.

UMass has surprisingly had a very good recruiting period. This is probably the best class Kellogg has ever recruited to Amherst. It comes after a down year for the program. How did this happen now? Could their new practice facility already be paying off dividends? What else is different there to ha...

15 and 8! Wow! Maybe 8-10 and 3-5. I don't think 15 and 8 is too unreasonable. Iverson must have one of the highest ceilings in terms of potential in the entire A10. I can't imagine the A10 has had too many top 40 recruits in the past decade so if Dan's able to get the most out of him then Iverson ...

and when Hurley has brought them to an NCAA tournament I hope you won't be saying yes but they din't make the sweet sixteen . This the fourth year of a rebuild from a six win team. They were at the bottom of the heap, so I think Hurley has exceeded expectations as far as how quick a turnaround has ...

Both of you need to get real. We know the staff is doing their best. Results are what we need. Other than that, carry on...... I like how we went from a dumpster fire with no talent on the roster to the top of the league with multiple potential NBA players on the roster in three years, and some peo...

Atlantic 10 Summer School: Rhode Island looks like best in conference By Matt Norlander | College Basketball Writer July 17, 2015 12:23 pm ET http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/25243402/summer-school-a-10-gets-3-coaching-changes-uri-could-be-leagues-best Great, ano...

Seems like a lot of people here are confusing realism with pessimism. Or a lot of pessimists think they're realists. Nearly everybody thinks they're a realist (though I'm the first to admit I'm a full-fledged optimist). Yup, saying over and over you're just being a realist doesn't necessarily make ...

You guys can take all the little slaps at me that you want. If we're talking about bringing in guards, Dan gets a lifetime pass. FACT: ONE good four year front court player in three recruiting cycles. The jury is out on staff's ability to attract front court talent. Now tell me where I'm wrong or b...

I don't think that I have seen his name on this board. Antwan Space is transferring from Texas A and M. 6'8" 235 From Dallas, went to Florida State, , sat transferred to Texas A&M and sat out a year, and will be graduating this year and immediately eligible. Used to be a four star, top 100...

It was nice to hear the post game interview with Bo Ryan, where he was honest about the officiating. Yes the Duke frosh were great, but coach K turned the refs in the second half. Someday Dan will have that cache and be able to get the refs to work for him instead of against, as they did with Duke ...

You can say the BE is overseeded all you want but they still went 4-2 on the first two days with PC being the only team to get upset and Butler even pulled off a slight upset. BECAUSE they were overseeded and haven't had to play anyone yet. Just watch. I understand that they are overseeded but so i...

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...

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. Difficult matchup or not, getting beat by 30 when you're a 10 seed playing a 7 is reall...

Agree with everyone that the fans there sounded loud and seemed more than the announced attendance; but I was really surprised and disappointed at the small announced crowd. It seems that only the hard core care and the majority of Rhode Island fans and students have to be dragged along kicking and...

Program is in great shape, what I want to see between now and next season: -ECs ball handling improved, esp going right. And a pull up jumper added to his game. -Hassan at big man camp all summer developing a consistent game from 10-15 feet -Terrell and Garrett putting up 500 shots a day all summer...

I think Martin was hurt. Biggie had an awful tournament. Garrett had a good tournament. Terrell needs to take the next step where he's not a bull in a china shop. I agree with Rod on EC: great and awful. Biggie having an awful tournament is a bit harsh. He sucked today, as did most our team, but I ...

If I didn't watch the game and someone told me we shot 8-16 from 3 and 100% from the free throw line I would've assumed we won by 20 but because of those had 21 turnovers we lost. We did not look mentally strong at all today, Gil looked like the only one who wanted to win. I've said it before and I ...

Refs we're bad for both teams and we shot 13 more FT's so I understand the overall hate but everyone's being a little cynical if you think the refs were out to screw us only. EC's tech will be called a tech in college basketball almost everytime if you run up the court and yell that's bullshit after...

The educational system in the US, should explore why most Germans, among others, can speak fluent English, while Americans struggle to pass Spanish 101. Not to get off topic but I don't think they'd need to do too much exploring. English is one of the most widely spoken languages and probably the m...

Seems like a tough road for us. We barely beat GW at home and if I remember correctly that was our best FT shooting game of the season where we went 20-22 and still only won by 4. Then if we win we most likely have to play Dayton and that was our only game in the A10 this season where we were flat o...

The problems we have on offense are directly attributable to the fact that we have no dependable shooters. There were plenty of wide open shots to be had. No one knocks them down. The opponent can sit back, sag off and fill the paint. If they could hit some jump shots we wouldn't have seen a blowou...

I agree 100% with this. However, we all need to be patient with this. It took 3 years to build the team up, but you have to build up the fan base. You can't start building a fan base until you have a team. This is the first time in 5 years we have a team the first time in 10 that you see any "...

I hate to say the jerseys were a factor in the loss but they easily could have been. Obviously our free throws and three point shooting were piss poor and the reason they lost but I'm almost positive LeBron and other NBA players have been quoted as saying they are against the short sleeve jerseys. T...
