Last player we had in the NABC game was Will Daniels. That Big East team with Rowsey, Bluiett, Macura, and Rodriguez is sick. A-10 would need no less than Adams, JT, Tillman and Aldridge to deal with them. So it looks like we will get Mobley but not Adams from Bona, plus Rene Castro-Caneddy from Du...

The other difference, and it is related to what you pointed out, is that there is competition not just on the field or court for Alabama, Duke, GS, Patriots, etc., but also in the market for players. The Patriots have to contend with a hard cap; the Warriors have a cap, and to the extent they are h...

It's reassuring that no one has voted for Becker so far. Good work everyone.

I'm confused, it says they will be 4 man teams and then there are 4 players nominated from each conference. So whats being revealed? Are those the teams already, or does it mean other guys who weren't nominated can still be chosen? I think because this is a new competition they basically don't have...

Puck Frovidence

So Zags put out the list of nominees by conference: Atlantic 10 1 Peyton Aldridge, F, Davidson 2 Justin Tillman, F, Virginia Commonwealth 3 Jared Terell, G, Rhode Island 4 Jaylen Adams, G, St. Bonaventure the rest are here: http://www.zagsblog.com/2018/03/07/dos-equis-3x3u-national-championship-nomi...

I think UConn is a different situation to BC... I'm not saying they'll ever get in there, but I think if they did, they'd be good (better than BC) quickly. More recent championship history more name NBA players, that would probably be happy to help recruit... NYG, I believe what he was saying is th...

Like any break up, this sucks.

I said this on the recruiting threads but I'll say it again... In my almost 20 years as a Rhody fan and following the program very closely, I have "my guys". We all do. Guys that we look back on and are proud that they were part of the program. There have been a lot of them. Not just nece...

All set with Becker, all set with Cluess.

Watched the Kourakis piece...as usual they only use like 45 seconds of a half hour interview but Dan got choked up at one point. Shouldn't have left then brosef. Bad decision that undermines so much of what you've said you're all about.

Puck Frovidence

Pass. Storrs doesn't care about a URI/UConn rivalry and I'm inclined to agree with them on this one. We're not starved for rivals. We got UMass and PC already, plus all the A10 homies who we love in the OOC and postseason but become unbearable chodes between December and March. If you're scheduling ...

https://twitter.com/ByBerkowitz/status/976833993898381313 Anybody know how this stuff works? I imagine UConn agrees to pay this when they're negotiating with him, but do they have the coin immediately available to pay within the 90 days? The most important thing to me is that every red cent of this ...

First line of the AP story. Rhody fan or blunt truth-teller?

"STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Rhode Island’s Dan Hurley agreed to become UConn’s coach, joining a team that is under NCAA investigation and fired Kevin Ollie this month after another losing season."

Just in case jcru missed the previous list from DPS: where was Shaka a head coach before VCU? where was Mack a head coach before Xavier? where was Sean Miller a head coach before Xavier? where was Archie Miller a head coach before Dayton? where was Mark Few a head coach before Gonzaga? where was Ma...

Puck Frovidence

He’s just like the rest of them. Just talked a better game. Completely wrong. He wanted the same commitment to the program that he gave. UConn was willing to do that. We can’t. We don’t have fans or donors that value this like they do. It will look like he took the money but that’s just his agent d...

To be fair this thread is a year old. Before it was an anxiety support/pizza forum, this used to be a basketball message board. Thank god those days are behind us now.

Puck Frovidence

I like the idea that we are teaching Pitt and UConn fans a serious lesson about coming to this board for answers. Well done everybody.

Puck Frovidence

Pizza is pizza...unless it's thin crust, which sucks...very little variation, it's not a gourmet food that needs to be rated, as long as there's enough cheese and no crazy vegetables... just my opinion. If you're going to drive any distance at all for food, it's probably not going to be for pizza. ...

Man, noon is early for a college snowday...seems like this kinda precludes the non students though.

Puck Frovidence

Yep that's wack dude, Frank Pepe's is overrated. New England pizza is definitely inferior to New York pizza, but CT is not a good food state pretty much across the board.

Puck Frovidence

Yea this is a complete shet show on all three boards. Everyone hanging on every word the Pitt board thought they won because of the injury source crap on our board tonight. Uconn is so screwed up with how they have fallen in the b-ball world they are more worried about this whole thing than we are ...

I realize this is not going to get much notice in the current shiticane we've got going on over in the coaching carousel, but has anyone else been following Bob Walsh during March Madness?

Practice facilities almost exclusively are funded through donations, usually started with a huge check from someone. It's not coming from tournament credits or anything like that. This isn't going to happen at a moment like this unless a heavy hitter steps to the plate. Oh shit so you're saying Rob...

Just looked it up out of curiousity.. UConn get 30% of their budget from the state, UMass gets 17%, URI gets 9%. Beyond athletics that will always hold the school back unfortunately. And that, kids, is why Providence College (and all the other private schools that have historically populated the st...

Yeesh that is a rough start. Was thinking of getting down to that Saturday game before Easter, hopefully they will have radio coverage of his Friday game.

Why does everyone always talk about more private jet money or practice facilities. How about a Rhody yacht! That would be something unique! Other programs can have pool tables.

That puts them in Rhody at 11. I will go if we're getting a crew together. I will be somewhat drunk, because it is St. Paddys day; which is a holiday with too much good whisky and too much bad food to be sober at 11pm. But I'm down.
