Troy Daniels Hit 11 three pointers in one game....broke the A10 record of 10 in one game set by Jason harris of Fordham in 1999. Should be fun to watch him. http://aroundthehorns.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/troy-daniels-set-twitter-aflutter-wednesday/ http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/vcu-...

Charlotte moves its record to 12-2 with an OT victory over UNC-Asheville, 71-63. The tight win over an average UNCA team adds further questions about Charlotte’s record given the low SOS of its OOC schedule. We will get answer to this when the Rams square off versus Charlotte on January 12 at the R...

Houlton DNP - Could he be enrolled at Florida Atlantic?

Holton is going to Florida International, not Florida Atlantic.
Next game for palm Beach is not until January 12th. Not sure why he did not play against CCRI.

Poor defense played by PC, especially by josh fortune against halpern. Horrendous to lose to bc and then brown.

i like the cyo 7 moniker myself. All this hype about the catholic seven is only hype. It's is no longer Dave gavitt's big east, not by a long shot. Seton hall, of, St. John's etc just not what they used to be. A10 should hold their own and deal from strength on this, selection from this catholic 7 ...

PC up by 7 with 2 injures to go and they are hoisting up there's without running all the clock, and turnovers.......what an ugly loss, bad coaching the last two minutes of the game, they should never have lost this to a mediocre Ivy League team. It was on the road but gym was full of PCM fans, just ...

The basketball schools are going to want more than $1 million. They will probably get that, if most of the "experts" are correct. What comes next is the expected bidding war. NBC Sports really wants their hand in a solid basketball conference, top to bottom. They were salivating at the ch...

Correct on the 42-17 that includes team rebounds, otherwise Rhody players ended up with 13 - the same number Lamar Odom grabbed last night in an NBA game in only 29 minutes of play.

The LA Clippers destroyed the Celtics last night by 106-77 or 29 points, outscoring the Celtics in all 4 quarters. Clippers are now an NBA best record 23-6. Celtics are 14-14 and the Lakers 14-15.

There should be an equal number of people on each side of the 20 point spread. Just as much money (not necessarily people) is above 20 points as is below 20 points. That is the case most of the time, but not necessarily all the time. Sometimes the casinos like to gamble as well. If a spread around ...

Vegas is never right or wrong. It's very much like supply and demand theory. There should be an equal number of people on each side of the 20 point spread.

Personally, I like this game on the schedule regardless of whether Baron or Hurley scheduled it. Dead week between Christmas and New Year's.

Most comments on the Duke Board indicate that Alex is not playing because of his defense. They feel the offensive game is there and Alex can fill up a stat sheet so it is up to the defense improvement to get him off the bench Many posters feel that the Parker verbal is going to hurt Murphy's playing...

3 minutes in a 22 point win against Elon no less. Does not look too promising for playing time for him with ACC Conference Play starting up January 5th.
In 9 games so far he has played 3 minutes or less in 5 of them - ouch

URI is ranked 10th nationally with Strength of Schedule. Butler ranked 4th SOS, VCU 12th and UMASS 20th. Charlotte is the worst of the A10 in SOS with a 230 ranking.

It will always return back to this argument: What do you consider worse? Going 4-14 in one of the best conferences in America, or going 9-9 in a lesser conference? I don't want to degrade the A-10 here, but there is no comparing the old-school Big East to last year's A-10. Going 9-9 would have give...

Catholic 7 not very impressive performance in the 2011-2012 Big East Basketball Season. The A10 has created themselves a strong hand to play the past few years. 5 of The 7 teams are Bottom Feeders with the exception of Marquette and Georgetown from last year's season. http://www.cbssports.com/colleg...

ramster

Butler with a 2 point lead, Indiana with the ball with 23 seconds to go, would be a great win for the A10. Has been a strong day for the A10 so far today.

ramster

Well, as usual a team allows the opponent to take a 3 with 5 seconds on the clock to tie the game. If Butler fouls, then Indiana goes to the line for 2, has to make the first, miss the 2nd on purpose, hope for a rebound and make the two. Or allow a 21 foot jumper for 3 - and Indiana hits it. Butler ...

That would be a Jim Baron move.

I believe that Dan Hurley is making his decisions to win games, not based on what Class level they are in. Brooks is not playing the same as he did in 2011-2012

EC finished with 16 points, 12 of those came in the 4th quarter as Romulous mounted a comeback but lost their 2nd game of the young season.

Really ramster well I was at the game with URI fans and they thought Cotton looked like he was hurting, and Cooley also said the same thing after the game. Cooley said Cotton missed shots he normally makes if the knee wasn't bothering him. I was there as well. Did not look to me like Cotton was hur...

ramster

ramster, are you serious? Powell did a great defensive job on Cotton? Cotton was at 50% and you could see him limping at times during the game, but he still scored 11 with 7 assists. It was his knee that did the great defensive job on Cotton, not Powell. Cotton played 39 of 40 minutes. I did not se...

agree Rod I think some thought we had more talent than we really had and in an overzealous reaction thought that Baron was such as bad Coach that there was lot's of untapped gold in the talentbase. Well, shows that the recruiting was not so hot either. At any rate, the good news is that we can look ...

My observations of the game: - Arrived at 5pm so never really saw the traffic jams discussed here. - Seats looked empty 5 minutes before game because of traffic, but also people having met up in the many bars around the Dunk.

Richmond's minutes are decreasing at East Carolina......Not sure is he is injured? Good 3pt %, but not a lot of playing time. Billy was special as a deep threat. He played with a very talented group though. He was just one part of the loaded teams that he was on here. I think you meant "Jimmy&...

ramster

I haven't seen this discussed. Did he get hurt last night? Or was Hurley just not happy with his play? He started the game, but played only 4 minutes. Nik started the 2nd half in his place. I know he's not a very good player (very bad hands!), but at least he's a fairly big body who can get a few r...

Blue Man, The only question I would have is why did Thor give Baron a one year extension?

Powell had the assist of the night to set up Nik for an open three in OT. Also, its clear this team would be in deep shit without him, he's the only competent PG we have, as evidenced by the fact that he's playing like 38 minutes per. I'm not even going to entertain a single post about Powell which...
