Exactly! I've been waiting for the posts calling coaches selfish mercenaries who have no loyalty and are only after money. Weird how it's suddenly quiet on that front and all the concern about "culture" and "family" has disappeared! You never hear posters lamenting their lost lo...

Doubt there will be a show to wrap up the season and the path forward, regarding NIL, portal departures and arrivals, status of KJ etc. Don’t think one was scheduled. Archie playing cards close to his vest, as he should with so many significant unknowns. Maybe some some time down the road, when ros...

Also amazing to think we had two head coaches that won NCAA national championships at one time in their careers and another that made the Final Four. Could even add Keaney as he took URI to the NIT championship game when that tournament was considered more prestigious than the NCAA by many. We have...

It is a shame we will never see these two programs (and similar type programs) play a home and home series. Sucks for college basketball fans in general and robs fans at schools like Dayton of experiencing that excitement. Dayton gets P5 H&H series pretty regularly. Recent years they’ve had Nor...

Ramster, you left off (PF) Owusu-Anane who is in the portal and would love for us to get. That was not the discussion.

I remember when people said we would never get two bids...Not only did we get 2 bids, but both won! You can succeed in this league! Figure it out Archie!!!! Yep, we have a lot of fans on here that repeatedly refer to the A10 as a 1 bid league despite getting more than 1 bid 18 of the last 20 years....

Rhody grudges: Nevada, Oregon, Stanford (especially Lee and Madson). Big west coast flavor. Who am I forgetting ? Not counting the Friars. They hold a more special place in Rhody lore. Duke. Jimmy’s crazy game at Cameron Indoor, Mohegan tourney, the ass whooping we had against them second round.

RF1 wrote: ↑1 month ago Good for the A-10 winning both first round games. Also happy to see Nevada lose as I have never forgiven them for stiffing Rhody on a return home game in 2018-19. It was a slimy move on their part.

Musselman one of the all time fake tough guy loudmouths in the sport.

Absolute tool.

Not tax deductible.

An A10 team that started 0-5 in conference just beat a Big 12 team who was ranked AP 21st and finished 5th in conference.

I don’t wanna hear people saying we can no longer compete with P5 teams.

Iron sharpens iron. Step up A10!

They literally just committed and spent millions on their arena.

Honestly, does it really matter? Even if the portal was closed guys would tweet out that they'd be entering the portal when it opens and they'd be getting contacted by schools. Probably not, 02. There will always be a segment that attempts to circumvent the rules. I guess it’s a question of control...

He also got former target Sean Durugordon there this season, averaged 18 and 7.

Villanova should fire Neptune, he is atrocious.

Team had plenty of talent and stunk this year.

3 million in NIL money for a one and done NIT birth.

I'm talking about budget restraints. No matter how good of a recruiter you are, you aren't getting good players if you can't pay them.

Ah, thought you meant his show cause tied his hands being able to recruit kids.

We’ve gone 9-22 and 12-20 with Kenny.

Who can blame KJ for leaving this clusterfuck? Gtown will be better fast. Will we? Yeah right.

If Hammond leaves we will back to square one. Who the fuck will want to come here? If KJ does leave hopefully he convinces Hammond and Farrell to stay. At least for a year anyway.

I know everyone hates the Big East, but try not to be completely bias here. Provide at least some context. Biased? Damn right. If two little kids were shooting marbles on the sidewalk and one of them was wearing mental-hospital gear, I'd root like hell for the other. Cool story man, congrats.

NCAA bubble teams also frequently don't perform well in the NIT because players are not motivated after the letdown of missing the only tournament they really cared about. A loss in the NIT — even a bad one — is not indicative of whether a team deserved to be in the NCAA tournament field or not. In...

I don’t think there are program changers at any level anymore. If a guy is successful, he’s probably being tampered with and will end up transferring up after a year.
