It's called court awareness. We don't have a PG, and haven't had one in ages, that can see the floor and pass to the open man for 3 instead of putting their head down and driving into the lane. Hurley knows that. He's probably tried umpteen times to change it, but it is what it is. Good PG's are bo...

Sean, if my decision, and URI was given an invite to thus new conference, I would take it. it helps recruiting and gets more exposure for the school. As I said, Dayton would be odd man out with all the other Midwest schools leaving so no surprise to e if Dayton leaves the A10 too. But I don't think ...

Hurley knows what he's dealing with. His best quote a few weeks ago was "You can't fix want can't be fixed". Translation - "We just don't have the players we need to win." Talk about passing the buck. You had another late second half lead. Land the freaking plane Saint Daniel. A...

Agree with the sky is falling comment by Rod. Woe is us???? The A10 will be fine- relax. So we lose Butler, St. Louis, Xavier and VCU. Butler and VCU just joined anyway. Lets us be in a more northeast, mid Atlantic oriented conference anyway. Dayton will be more of the odd man out and would likely l...

How is the driving on 138? I'm going even if chafee doesn't lift the ban by then.

I taped the game so I watched it after having been at the game as well. The announcers talked about how Treveon Graham was having his way with Nik playing him on defense. It was obvious that VCU came out in the 2nd half with that mismatch in mind as they went to Graham often with the same result, ei...

Tony Taylor. He was 6'3", a transfer 1982-85, back in Claude's day. Looked like a basketball player, but never amounted to much. There was also a forced PG under Skinner, who came from Northestern, Herb Dixon, who was around 6'4". I loved Dawan, too. Mr. Clutch! Herb Dixon tranferred in f...

Smart move by the football schools to retain the Big East Name for their conference.
Will be a goot move for UMASS to join this conference in all sports.

ramster

Welcome to the Board, I always root for PC to lose. Dave Gavitt did not allow URI to participate in the Big East when it was formed, however he did invite Boston College and Connecticut. UMASS, URI and Holy Cross were left out in the cold. Sly Williams chose URI over PC and Gavitt never got over tha...

Munford leading the A10 in FT shooting then misses 2 today - tough shooting day for all of our guys today

horrible foul by Nik - come over the back like that makes it so obvious then he acts like he didn't do it

Which came right after Bigby got a pass through right to himi at the top of the key and he fumbled it away. We can't buy a rebound in this game on the offensive boards. Ugly game.

Canty stinks and he is killing us
Hard to watch

ramster

I like the elbow to Canty's gut by Hare - notthe greatest sprotsmanship but I like the toughness in Hare on that.
We are making Canty look like an All Conference player and he stinks.
Rebounding is #1 priority for next year

ramster

That was a bs runor. I can't be worried about whether Hurley leaves or not, one day he will leave. More important is what he does now while he is here. He needs to recruit strong, turn this team completely aroound next year and fulfill the expectations that we all have of him. We have to make this U...

ramster

agreed Rod, our big weakness this year is on the boards and Holton led the A10 in Offensive Rebounding as Freshman. Billy Baron had 9 rebounds last night for Canisius playing Point Guard. Both of these guys were strong. Baron an excellent rebounder for a guard and Holton dominant on the boards. We d...

Fordham just lost to Dayton (1-3) by 45 points. Dayton's first 3 games were losses to Butler, VCU and LaSalle - not exactly an easy way to start the A10 play against those 3 teams.

So the Big East becomes the Catholic 12. Then instead of PC fighting to be 15th in a league of 16 they can fight to be 11th instead of 12th. The A10 will survive and still be a descent league - not the end of the world as it would seem to be "the sky is falling" chicken little stuff. URI ...

Much of our problem continues to be in the rebounding department. We lost a lot with the loss of Holton who was 3rd in the A10 in Rebounding and led the A10 in Offensive Rebounding as a Freshman - nobody has stepped in to come close to filling that void. Billy also was strong and grabbed his share o...

Charlotte moves its record to 12-2 with an OT victory over UNC-Asheville, 71-63.

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.
