BC is not a very attractive basketball head coaching job. Basketball is a #3 sport at BC. Look at the recent history of head coaches, Not exactly your Whose-who list for a P5 school. BC would be fortunate if Schmidt took the job. I actually agree with this take on all accounts. They never should've...

One player away from what? From having a winning record in the conference? From being in the tournament?

Yes. I broke down the seeding scenarios in the A10 tournament thread

I don't know that she took money from URI for the free tuition program at CCRI, but I do know she took money to shore up the budget because of Covid issues and not all of the money was returned to us when the state finally got federal stimulus money. I agree that RIC is kind of the odd school out, b...

Congratulations to the women's team for clinching the first winning conference record since 1995-96! Taking a look at the women's tournament, assuming all current games get played and no more get added to the schedule, every team will have played enough games to be ranked by winning percentage. As a...

I was really happy to see Max Homa win yesterday, he seems like a really cool, down to Earth guy based on the stuff he's done with No Laying Up and I can't remember the last time I've seen a golfer that emotional in the post round interview. It's amazing how bad the PGA is at developing their golfer...

Does it really matter? No, not particularly. I'm just goofing around with stuff while listening to a podcast

The last time Mitchell took and missed a shot, we were up 2. In the final four minutes of the game, we lost to a 3-9 team with barely any bodies that looked exhausted. Of course, you can blame the players, but how many times are people going to pretend that this doesn't start at the top? List of ex...

All of the following is based on everyone playing their remaining scheduled games If we lose to Duquesne we are either the 10th seed or we can move up to 9th if St. Louis loses all of their remaining games (tomorrow at VCU, Friday vs. Richmond, Monday vs. UMass) If we win against Duquesne we are sti...

So it looks like URI won't play the first day. George Washington probably won't hit the 60% of the median, so they should drop below us based on NET. Even if we lose against Duquesne and La Salle wins their two remaining forcing a winning percentage tie, we'll be ahead of La Salle because the first ...

Seeding for teams that play fewer than 60 percent of the median number of conference games among the league's 14 teams will be done according to the NCAA's NET ranking... According to my primitive calculations, the median will be 13.5. GW looks like they'll play 8 games, which is less than 8.1 (60 ...

Man the quality of coverage ECU has on ESPN+ is top notch. Extremely jealous. The whole ECU operation from top to bottom seemed first class. Their stadium and coverage really jumped out at me. Frankly it seemed more like a AA team from a stadium and coverage aspect than a college baseball team. Lik...

am looking for improvement in 2 areas: 1. no more "illegal substitution" penalties (too many men on the field) 2. Carrick to start making important kicks There's 2 more wins a year right there Agree. I think that falls on coaching. Getting the players in-sync when they need to go in and c...

I don't remember a women's basketball excuse, but I do remember he also blamed a loss on the ball being underinflated

Looks like Dave already has his excuse ready for another L at Duquesne: “It’s been tough,” Cox said. “It’s been tough for the league to schedule these games as well. But for us to have to go on the road here and then go back on the road again to play somewhere we’ve already played — that's tough sl...

Yeah Witchita is clearly on the bubble now Just say no to an extension for David C worse comes to worse let him coach the contract out or most like sever ties at end of year 4 unless something strange happens like if we go to the big dance If you don’t extend him this year you might as well fire hi...

I would say the massive amount of transfers qualifies as a player mutiny Not even close. There was one major University (which I choose not to name) where the players got together and met with the AD to complain about the coach. One of the players who was on that team is currently an NBA head coach...

RhowdyRam02

I guess you must have a competent coach in mind, your checkbook out, and also a list of recruits that are ready to sign on the dotted line, because we will be starting from scratch. Roster building is very different now. If you fire a coach, you no longer have to scramble and sign high school kids ...

Cox will be back next year. (I give a 2% chance he's not.) It's just wishful thinking that he'll be shown the door after this season. As stated before, coaches are generally given 4 years to prove it...unless the program is in a colossal state of disrepair, NCAA violations, etc. Sorry 10-13 and 7-9...

So you think the administration should fire him after just 3 seasons and 2 of which were affected somewhat by the pandemic. That doesn't bode well in the coaching community to find some quality candidates. Finding a new staff, a new roster, and waiting another 5-6 years at least before a possible t...

RhowdyRam02

As I said before, as things stand now I don't see us finishing at the top of the A10 next year. But again with Ish, Walker, the twins, and if Cox can figure the rest of the pieces out, we should have a pretty competitive team. I am not ready to lose those players yet and start the roster from scrat...

I would say with the roster turnover, transfers and the shitshow that is on display, the worst we can go with a change is from 11th place to 14th place. That is the sorry state of affairs right now. Exactly. We're so bad that we're officially in "what the hell do we have to lose by changing co...

I’m not here to vehemently disagree walker deserved more minutes, but again he didn’t play great in the minutes he had. I mean I truthfully believe we need to be giving everyone minutes. This season is so lost there’s no point in punishing ourselves next year for irrelevant wins now. Regarding time...

Repeat of my post after the UMASS debacle: I hope all the “we can make a run in the A10 tournament” posts will end now. We absolutely still can. We probably won’t. For my own mental sanity I’m trying the kool aid despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. I’m on the bandwagon til the wheels fa...

Disappointing how we finished this game compared to Dayton. No excuses for losing this game. GW was undermanned with only 7 scholarship players available, several key players out and the midseason transfer of 3 players. This is only their first game game back after 35 days on pause and they outplay...

RhowdyRam02

Seems we were playing so much better at a faster pace, why the slow down which seemed to play right into GW's hand. Because we refuse to have any identity at all. David Cox apparently doesn't think it's fair for us to impose our will on another team, much more fair for them to choose how the game i...

Not going to happen this March. Also, I wouldn't want to see another total roster rebuild next season. I would, cause it won't be any worse than what is gonna be thrown out there as it stands. As I said before, as things stand now I don't see us finishing at the top of the A10 next year. But again ...

Just feeling a little frustrated and disappointed by the way our team has derailed and underperformed this year. Even though I felt like we weren't an NCAAT team or finish in the upper echelon A10, I still expected more out of this team. Because I more or less gave up on any hopes we may have for t...

OK Mrs Cox... David did nothing wrong and coached one hell of a game. The players let us down... Cox was irrelevant to this game (good or bad) in my opinion.

Yes. He’s been brutal at so many times this year. He didn’t miss 2 dunks and 7 layups from point blank while being 6’10”. Mitchell had a horrible game. Get over it OK Mrs Cox...

One of the truly pathetic efforts of all time. I really, really like Dave as a person but I don’t see how they can go on with him at the helm. This experiment is functionally over, and every day from now until the next coach is named is not just a waste and a day we spend drifting further from wher...

Shouldn't have any rain issues with this new start time, but the game will be played in the mid to upper 30's for temperature. Maybe an advantage for us?

They haven't played a game since 1/24 and who knows what their practice schedule has looked like in that time. Playing this game before Sunday afternoon's game at St. Bonaventure is a smart move

RhowdyRam02

In today's action that might affect A10 tournament seeding, who the fuck knows.

St. Louis is at Dayton. It might mean something for URI, it might not. Whatever

11th hour? Announcing 10 days before a game is practically like 100 days in Covid days
