I was going to give the official the benefit of the doubt on that, because that's the kind of play that's usually a foul 9 times out of 10... But even in real time, the announcers thought it was all-ball. The trailing official on the left / bottom of the screen saw it fine, and didn't call anything....

I like Fuchs and Green and they were the best we had last season, but last I checked they weren't all-conference players. I want to see players pushed and open competition, no one should be guaranteed a starting position, that must be earned. Archie needs to bring in the best possible players regar...

You can't only have TWO big men on the roster. I think in today's game, you probably want four "big" guys - two guys as starters, one reserve that's near 20 MPG, and a fourth for spot duty. Maybe you can get away with a shorter rotation if you have a 3 that can play spot minutes at the 4,...

Realistically, unless Fuchs or Green is transferring, we probably only have minutes for one more big man. Foumena and Brown went from playing a combined 30 to 40 MPG before Green, to splitting 10 to 30 MPG after he was eligible. A guy that can play the 4 and 5 would be useful, with perhaps a big ma...

Keegan Records with yet another tournament berth on Colgate, although this is going about as well as the previous ones did. Baylor is up 20 with four minutes left in the first half. Records has eight points on 4-of-4 shooting, two turnovers. Baylor is shooting 61 percent from the field. Excluding th...

Oakland up seven with 8:55 left. Coach Cal doing his best to crap down his leg early in the tournament again, as Kentucky just looks mystified by the 1-3-1.

Food for thought: Hurley can be a hard ass. Yet his players will run through a wall for him and give 100% effort. Archie can be a hard ass. But his players wont give 100% effort and would rather run away to another program. So what's the deal? Hurley's players are better, and ultimately, if you're ...

Who can blame KJ for leaving this clusterfuck? Gtown will be better fast. Will we? Yeah right. People are going to call me naive for this take, and they're probably right, but I would blame him. 16 months ago he got show caused and was unemployable in college basketball. Archie, Thorr, and the Univ...

I know we would all take this deal in Kingston! https://twitter.com/DanWetzel/status/1770473566204563703 It is kind of shocking how quickly Bennett has gone from "national champion" to "this shit doesn't work in the playoffs." They've gotten to the ACC tournament finals and semi...

UMass already has Cohen (28.9 MPG), Davis (13.7 MPG) and Thompson (27.9 MPG) in the transfer portal, and Cross is likely a graduate transfer at this point if he wants to be one. Most of their other players rated out as average or slightly below average A-10 players, so it's not a guarantee that they...

It looks like House committed on March 31, and Brown was around March 29. I'm not sure if any transfers committed before then.

He's 6'11" and athletic, so it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up anywhere - teams are always looking for a live, big body. That being said, this is Whisper Season, and "heard from" can mean anything from "we actually extended an offer" to "we contacted him in case a d...

Morales' efficiency numbers are great, but he only played half the year and averaged 22.6 MPG. Was he hurt or something else? Last year he was at 15.8 MPG, and he didn't crack 10 MPG his freshman or sophomore years. I think he'd be fine as a backup big, but I kind of doubt he's going to come here an...

You know what's been funny to me? Almost every "expert" is expecting things to go chalk. ESPN, fox, CBS, all of their brackets are super predictable. On sports radio I hear "I think this will be the chalkiest bracket in a while" On reddit "with all those conference tourname...

Love the new thread - can you delete my post in it and make it only read only ?… this was it’s just what you update it and it doesn’t have any other posts .. Sorry for posting there Ha, no worries, it's fine there! I don't think there will be a ton of chatter in there, since it'll mostly be a resou...

As a compromise measure, I've created a new thread that'll (hopefully!) be both a historical archive for recruiting threads, as well as highlighting the current roster. You can find it here . It'll take me a couple days to fully populate it, but I think it'll be a good resource when done. (This foru...

In the interest of shrinking the number of pinned threads we have, this one will be the master list for recruiting threads for any player that: 1) Gave a verbal commitment to URI or signed with us. 2) Played basketball for URI. I'll do my best to keep this updated and current, but things might have ...

Are we sure Bobby is getting fired? I realize it could come at any moment, but their last game was 5 days ago and nothing has happened. Usually teams are quick to shit-can someone right as the season ends.

Have any of these guys included the 'possibility to return'? Or are all of them definitely gone? I don't think any of them have released those kind of personal statements on Twitter or Instagram you see this time of year, but all of them putting their names in on the first day of the portal suggest...

Granted our OOC wasn't the best, but it didn't prevent us from the opportunity of going to the NCAAT. 3 teams in the Mohegan Sun Tourn. in the NCAAT- Northwestern, Wash. State, and Miss. State. Charleston, Yale, and Wagner are all in the NCAAT. Five out of thirteen OOC opponents in the NCAA field i...

Given that most of the pinned posts are either here, or in some cases possibly moving on, can we "un-pin" all but the '24 commits? Thanks!! I think another mod might have seen this and taken care of it. I think all of the pinned threads are guys on the team, or verbal commits like Hammond...

The NIL, no sit-out transfer, world is leading to coaches being canned quicker than normal. Rebuilds can be quicker. Results expected sooner. I mean, it also helps if you don't punch an assistant coach from another team, or (allegedly) get into a screaming match with a strength coach, or win just e...

Sure, some coaches stay at a college for a long time, as long as they get an extension and more money. And they don't jump around to 2-3-4 schools in 5 years because they have a contract that guarantees they'll get paid or get a hefty buyout. They have an incentive to stay. I'm sure more players wo...

I'm going to lock this thread for now, so that we don't keep posting in it accidentally.

Finally seems to be healthy again - 30 games played, 20+ MPG. Glad to see it, yeah.

I went C-, but could probably be talked into a C or a D, depending on which way the wind is blowing. I think it's clear that Miller identified the biggest weakness on last year's team - offense - and went at it hard. We were 342nd in offensive rating last year, and that improved to 206 this year.

Lol He's in his first year playing college basketball and he averages 16.5 points 10.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per 40 minutes That's 3rd on the team in pts ( more than Fuchs) and he's only averaging 1.3 less rebounds per game than Fuchs. That's not a bad statline for a 6'11 rookie in the A-10 with ...

re: House vs. Kortright, I'd probably want one to stay. I think House is more offense oriented, but can't play the 1 at all, while Kortright gives you a bit more positional flexibility. I don't think either plays enough defense to play them together. Keeping both probably means you either don't have...

Buchannan was used more than any other freshman because GW was trash. They had no choice but to play him a ton. If we played estevez that much he would have similar numbers. If the team was so talented why were they 1 of last 15 please explain. Talent usually finds a way to win more than one game i...

With all this money being thrown at kids/young adults, I wonder if any teams employ a financial advisor? A lot of times when a 19, 20, 21 year old go from having no money to all of a sudden having 50,000, 100,000 or more (or less in our case), it doesn't always go well. I mean, this is arguably a c...

Rubin vs. Fuchs is kind of a false choice to me, when both were clearly better than Okojie and (especially) Curry.

There just isn't a really natural "fit" for Dayton or VCU out there - just a bunch of lateral moves. Why pay an exit fee or be forced to share more by jumping from the A-10 to an equivalent conference? I think the Big East or ACC would have to shed more members for either of those schools ...

Thank you to all of this year's participants! It only feels appropriate to do this on the eve of the A-10 tournament start for us (unfortunately). The winners are... OVERALL CONTEST WINNER For regular season record, nobody guessed 12 wins overall. There were three guesses for 13 wins, and one guess ...

That is absolutely bizarre that either she went out there for the postgame presser, or that they made her go out there for it. Or that they just didn't wait until after it to fire her.

Wow, love how it looks! Really cool.

Indiana State making a hell of a run - 14-1 to get within three of Drake with 5:20 left, 70-67. It's on CBS, if anyone is looking to toggle between it and the women's game. ETA: Holy hell, Indiana State knots it with 4:08 left, 72-72, on a 3-point shot - and a foul. They'll have a chance to take the...

Putting Dubsky in is cute but he’s not an A10 player. He was trying to play tough D. Hands up and hustling through screens. I’ll give credit where credit is due. He’s hustling when he is in and no issues with attitude. Give him time. The announcers yesterday told the story of Kyle Rose - when Urgo ...

Interesting in Dayton's 91-86 OT victory they got zero points from their bench. All their starters played over 40 minutes and scored in double-digits (14 pts or more). PG Javon Bennett was out with a thumb injury, his status for the A10T is currently questionable. Their win also knocked VCU out of ...

I’ve waited decades for a big like Foumena. Back to a life of 6’7 1/2” centers I go. I guess? I mean, he's promising, but he's averaging 1.6 blocks and 10.9 rebounds per 40 minutes. A lot of his stats are similar to the Mitchell brothers, except he's listed at 6'11" and they're 6'10". I w...

The Foumena thing realllly f'n bothers me We finally have a center with P6 size and skill and either the coach doesn't believe in him...and likes Tyson Brown's game better or some damn reason...or Fou just refuses to do what the coaches ask him to do. Like wild offensive sequences and not doing wha...

Estevez OOC per game: 18 minutes, 7.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals, 0.8 assists, 45.7 percent from the field, 40.5 percent from 3. Estevez conference per game: 23 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.5 steals, 1.3 assists, 38.9 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from 3. So, yeah - He probably ...

One of the guys who actually plays hard and looks like he cares. Makes no sense. Not saying he's been good, just that at least he tries. It still surprises me that as bad as we have played, Foumena hasn't even seen the court in the last 2 games (zero minutes). Either there is something going on beh...

I'm a broken record on this but Tammi's reluctance to play highly recruited freshmen is a terrible strategy. I think if they were good, they'd be playing more. DeChent is going to finish the year shooting close to 29 percent, on a team that's been starved for shooting, and she's mostly had open loo...

Good move by Tammi to move Debroise to starting PG 7 games ago and Tammi moved Dee Dee Davis to the wing. Davis had a combined 20 rebounds in the last 2 games we won, both against Dayton. Davis is also scoring her best all year and shooting better since moving to SG from PG. Tammi said Dee Dee love...
