Wonder when Duquesne fans will start saying the A10 should kick us out. What a run! What is really interesting is how a devoted URI basketball fan like Blue Man became so wrong on so many items throughout this season especially with an epic failure on the Archie assessment looming. Wholeheartedly a...

The amount of whining from English and Nap on Twitter is hilarious.

Be more desperate.

Or better yet, win more games.

I’m confused about why PC fans are coming to our message board today. It’s a massive day for their program as they may or may not make the tournament, and you want to come here to talk shit about Archie? Then again, most of their fanbase is like this, so I’m not surprised. I would say I’m surprised...

Rhody15

I wonder how much the committee will look at the current PC team compared to overall resume. The team as constructed isn’t even CLOSE to a tourney team. Under .500 overall. 10-11. Interested to see how much they weigh total resume to wins by the current team. 4 quad 1 wins since Hopkins went down i...

Think misery definitely not the right word . Upset that it probably won't happen yeah but very happy with the direction of the team. Definitely not miserable. I can definitely understand how you guys feel though we were there when keno was here. BTW I think Archie reminds me a lot of Keno . I wonde...

Misery loves company. There's been plenty of that here at old State U. Hopkins getting hurt was the difference. It happens. BtW, UConn will win it again. Everybody else are losing games.

Purdue will not make the FF imo. My prediction for the natty is either UConn or Houston. Everybody else is too inconsistent. Purdue hasn’t won a tourney game since ‘97 in Memphis, have they? I know they lost in the first round last year. What? They have multiple Sweet 16s and an Elite 8 under Paint...

Can’t see at all Princeton getting an at large. I don't disagree, the do have an NET #48. Problem is they will probably take an NIT bid away from someone, maybe an A10 team. Yeah I think if Princeton beat Brown then lost in the finals then a much better chance , the brown loss really hurt Not even ...

That sounds like a totally reasonable transaction.

Anyone can do that. Right here.

Possibility of a bid stealer from the Ivy.
Could Princeton get an at-large or at worst get an NIT bid and hurt an A10 team.

The NET rankings are used to determine the breakdown of quad games. The final NET rank for a particular team is however mainly only used to EXCLUDE non power conference teams. Power conference teams with bad/high NET rankings regularly get selected every year. That rarely happens with teams outside...

- donate $ directly to the program OR donate $ to NIL. Or both?

Is there a determined formula yet?

I’d say in order of importance:

1. Both program and NIL
2. Only NIL
3. Only program

So, who directs the money? Who decides if it goes to football, or mens hoops, or women's hoops? The coach(es)? The AD?

This may be true, but doesn’t relate to Howard whatsoever.

8-24 this year with multiple incidents that were less than ideal.

Do you really think we’re following that rule? We definitely are not along with every other collective. They just have to put that on the website to save face. We do not need to "save face". The court rulings are in the books. Are they going for it or not? Quit sending mixed signals if yo...

I mean we definitely are following that rule. Stone or our big donors aren't out there recruiting. The collective's job is literally to collect the money and distribute it to current players with NIL agreements. Like anything, the clearly legal part is for the coaching staff to know what the NIL is...

When you have the best player on the floor almost every single night you can win a lot of games. Carter is having a generational type season. A true hoopers hooper. He sure is and the latest bleacher report has him 10th overall , so looks like he be done @ PC https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/...

I predicted a 17-14 record without Green.

Finished 12-19 with Green for half a season.

Puzzling rotations, not being able to motivate the team to play a lot of the time, lack of development over the season.

F for me.

Yep, they are already going to be matched up with one of the top seeds anyway, which is why I could see them leaning in to the storyline with Hurley/Wagner when deciding which one it'll be.

Yeah 100%, the committee loves to setup these storylines. I could definitely see them potentially trying to match up UConn and Wagner. The NEC winner was always going to very good chance to play UConn. They are usually a first four team while UConn will be a Top 2 seed. Yep, they are already going ...
