I say, bleep the D...if you suck at one aspect, move on and just go all out on o-ffense. Try to to get to 100 points. Play a "fake zone trapping D" and hope they miss (I mean, who doesn't have the "competitive spirit/DNA" to do that , right? Long outlets, risky full court passes...

That tracks with KenPom saying Duqs -3

I don't see it as being in limbo, more like just a growing process. I look at our talented young players, understand the difficulty of finding immediate success with a new roster, and actually feel good about our future. I'm thinking from now until the start of next season is limbo. I don't believe...

Just remember that in Hurley's 2nd season we lost 6 straight conference games and 10 of 12, so let's see what happens. I would like to see us finish on a higher note, but I am much more concerned about next season. Agreed about next season, Jersey. I feel like we the program is struggling in limbo ...

77, usually I always comment about how we played whether or not we won, but right I agree I'll take any win we can get no matter how ugly. We are who we are this season. Which is very inconsistent which comes with insufficient talent. Not going to change a lot the rest of this season. Its wait till...

A loss here will be further downhill slide. Side note, ran into a IU fan in FL today. He asked me if we “like” packline, he chuckled when I said we have given up 90s recently, and commented that the IU teams couldn’t guard pool furniture. Seems like it’s moreso the defense than our players then. Ex...

I noticed that game early on in Duquesne's schedule, a little late for an OOC game. If fully healthy, I wouldn't be shocked to see Fordham upset Richmond. Much depends on how well Medor bounces back for them. I also see that Fordham has been tinkering with their starting line-up and rotation and ce...

Are you drunk? I literally said “they just recently changed to a 4 team conference tourney.” No conferences award the AQ to regular season champ anymore. However, it is not mandatory to have a conference tourney. You’re like talking to a wall man. Here's your receipt. See the last part of the last ...

Yup, read my post above. They just recently changed to a 4 team conference tourney. wrong. Ivy went to a 4 team Tournament in 2017 So which conferences award the AQ in a manner other than the End of Season Conference Tournament? Are you drunk?

Blue Man was definitely a vocal critic of EC's outside shooting - didn't he infamously get into an internet "discussion" with a high profile family member about the 3pt shot at the end of the Oregon game?

RhodyKyle

I was looking at some stats for our 3 A10 games, particularly 3 point shooting. Luis is at 43% (6-14), Green at 45 % (5-11), House at 46% (6-13) and Cam at 50% (8-16). The only one struggling is Zek at 11 % (1-9). Are we suddenly becoming a pretty good shooting team? I think we’ve always been a goo...

RhodyKyle

But those metrics largely are derived from games played without David Green. Am I right ? Yes, but you're also thinking that sportsbooks are paying as much attention to URI as you are. They don't know who David Green even is to adjust a line for him. And there is never a large enough handle on URI ...

RhodyKyle

It comes from advanced metric sotes like KenPom who has it SBU -9

RhodyKyle

Looking at how these two teams compare, Bonnies are beatable but the 3pt shooting coupled with URI's sometimes suspect 3pt defense has me concerned. Bonnies are fairly proficient and they take an above avg number of 3s each game.

RhodyKyle

If we are going to win one of the next two games, this is the one that we have a legitimate shot at. At Dayton, it may get a little ugly. They are incredible. I think we lose the next two games but get back on track after that. Also, if we do lose the next two, that is completely fine! It was incre...

So, back to what I mentioned earlier, is out current President and AD these visionaries?

Last time I went to the Conte Center there was no security. Just walk in and check your ticket. Maybe, people should chill. 9/11 was like 23 years ago. No need for the extra security anymore.

HUGE game and win! I haven’t had that much fun in a very long time. Thanks to everyone who came out today, the atmosphere was electric despite the students still being on break. Also, can we talk about the deafening silence from two of the biggest A10 twitter accounts (A10Talk & 3BidLeague)? ZE...

Just got in here after the game so apologies if this has been covered. Even with a 20pt win, that was the WORST officiated game I've seen maybe ever.

Yeah, it's a great gym for the America East or another one bid league.

Doesn't it just take a sit down with media? Like pitch a new conference scenario and what the worth is? Yes, backdoor meetings should happen, even now.

I don’t miss that game. Top 5 worst feeling walking out of RC. BAR, was that the game where if they won they were in and if they lost they were out? I remember that game.

RhodyKyle

Getting legitimately mad about stuff you 100% make up in your own head is, uh, very weird. But that’s just me. I think it's more about getting mad about the leadership of the conference not being able to have identified that opportunity when it was clearly evident. I don't have the time or energy t...

That will make up for when UConn lost to Set...

Hurley's last year when they started 13-0. In the 19-20 season, they started 0-1 then ripped off 10 straight wins to start 10-1.

Right at this time they would be a lock with non conference wins over Wisconsin and a surging Georgia. Also no bad losses and win over Marquette in conference.I still think they will manage enough wins to get in. Bubble was very soft last year.

Nut crusher for PC. The way they were playing I could see them a top 6 NCAA seed...not now. 10-11 seed more likely. Tough conference. They have a NET of 62.

Good luck with that, would be nice though. I don't know how difficult it would be if Dayton, SLU and VCU are on board and motivated. When the old BE broke apart it seemed to happen quickly because those non-FB teams were united and motivated. It didn’t hurt that the then Catholic 7 was bankrolled a...

The real answer is to form a new conference with Davidson, Dayton, Richmond, St. Bonaventure, Saint Joseph's, Saint Louis, and VCU. Then be ultra selective with our final two invites.
