One very impressive thing this weekend, they had the two teams they were tied for 4th with come in to the Ryan Center and they played their best basketball of the season. Coach has them playing their best and peaking at the right time of the year. You love to see it

Should certainly be the favorite, but I can't say I'm informed enough to say she'll definitely get it

This is what I posted before we hired Cox: "Top of the list: David Cox: risky because he's never been a head coach, highest short term reward because he's most likely to keep the whole roster together. His experience says he's due for a head coach position. Preston Murphy: risky because he's ne...

Not hyperbole - is Tammi Reiss a better coach than DC? Watching them their offense is in constant motion and their defense is significantly more active and communicates better than ours. Don’t really care for the women’s game as much as men’s, but there’s a noticeable difference in effort and execu...

URI will finish in 4th place with a win, 5th with a loss. We'll finish alone in 5th with a Richmond loss against UMass. We'll finish tied with a Richmond win, but will have the tiebreaker over them because we won both of our games against them. Currently up 48-39 at the half. Senior Marta Vargas has...

You have also to consider that the Bonnies had a late start to their season on Dec. 15 and then had two of their first four games canceled and had not played for 11 days before the tip-off at Ryan on Dec. 30. Yup. Mark Schmidt coached teams get better as the year goes on, David Cox coached teams ge...

Cox now has a 7-12 record (.368 winning percentage) in the month of February, he's over .500 in every other month. As the season goes on, teams should get better. Ours either gets worse under Cox or can't keep pace with other teams as they improve. That's bad coaching. That's the kind of track recor...

Very poor answer from Coach. https://twitter.com/mhershgordon/status/1365852921494204417?s=21 And then the glare he gives toward Morey's portion of the chat after answering the question, like how dare you ask me a completely reasonable follow up question on something I said. Completely unprofession...

"Dave, you mentioned lessons learned this year. Can you rattle off a couple? Any big things that stand out for you this regular season?" "No, not at this point. No." Come on, Morey. Don't be so hard on the guy. We've only played 24 games this year. This is damning. Either he act...

Is there something deficient with this program that makes it difficult to successfully elevate assistants here or have we just been unlucky with who we've elevated?

Spend the time and money on the women's team instead

So we're locked into the 10 seed and the Thursday at 3:30 game. Who will be the 7th seed is very murky at this time though. If we somehow win Thursday, we play Friday at 3:30 against VCU

Bryant won games versus Derek Kellogg's LIU the last two nights to clinch a spot in the Covid reduced four team NEC Tournament. Has two more home games against Mt St Mary and with a single win will clinch the #1 seed which would guarantee all tourney games in Smithfield (where they are undefeated o...

Also, because of the deregulation they're not hooked up to another grid. If they were they could have gotten energy from elsewhere while they couldn't provide their own. That's why only Texas had these issues even though a larger portion of the country was dealing with the same weather

Even without this, I don't think he would have won again. The back issues aren't going away. Especially winning another major. His window to win age wise is closing fast even if he was healthy. He has to worry about what his quality of life will be going forward, just due to all of the back surgeri...

Not including this current dumpster fire season - Doesnt DC have 2 FULL seasons left on this contract? Why would anyone even consider extending him this offseason? Did I read that right?

... Come on 72 double his salary ?? Please Reef, seriously, how can URI be a quality program when we pay our head coach less than a third of what PC pays Ed Cooley?

All of the following is based on everyone playing their remaining scheduled games after last night's Duquesne and George Mason games. After last night, seventh place is officially off the board.

Calhoun screwed UConn with his arrogance, when it came to joining the ACC.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

I would say the massive amount of transfers qualifies as a player mutiny Not even close.

One of the players who was on that team is currently an NBA head coach...

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.

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.

So you think the administration should fire him after just 3 seasons and 2 of which were affected somewhat by the pandemic.

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...
