I wish @ UMass was on a weekend, but oh well.

Still blows my mind how we aren't a serious contender. We're a winning program (projected top 25), he'd play right away, and he lives right down the road. But yet, we dropped out of the race because Creighton, Pitt, and USC we're interested. Unless the kid is absolutely bent on playing in a P5 leagu...

860_rhody

So, from now on, we have 2 road games in Providence every other year? Is that right?

#54 on ESPN's latest Top 100. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/order/true Not coming here. It would be nice to be able to get a highly rated RI kid, but not happening. Swider is the next RI kid that will blow up and be out of our league. I'm not sure why we ...

Get rid of the program.

860_rhody

Lol, why didn't he just tell them he was going home? If me and my friends are in a foreign country and I'm about to get arrested, why would I not tell my friends about it?

860_rhody

Smart move getting out. Why didn't his buddies come with him?

860_rhody

Get rid of the program.

From the Projo article: "URI will not play a true road game on November 29 when they visit NIT finalist Valparasio." What does this mean? Where are they playing? Maybe a typo? Looks to have been changed by Projo as it now at 10pm reads: A first meeting with Belmont on Nov. 25 – a seven-ti...

NU made the dance as a 3 seed and W&M was the #1 seed in the CAA tournament.

Call me crazy but I would like to see an A10 team in the Boston market.....BU or Northeastern. Probably Northeastern as they tend to put a better club on the floor at least recently. Both are huge hockey schools tho, would an A10 invite bump up alumni and student interest enough to pack the small v...

My basketball juices are flowing a bit here with September just around the corner, so I'll bite. Serious question -- how would joining the Atlantic 10 benefit Wichita State? Obviously it would help the conference from a basketball perspective, but I'd like to hear what you think the benefits would ...

I like Siena - huge arena, local, and solid fan support. If the A10 could make better negotiations with the ACC and get the Barclays back, then their fans will travel well, much like the Bonnies.

860_rhody

WSU to the A10 is just common sense. Not if you think geography is an important aspect of a conference. URI is already an outlier and it has only gotten worse with nearly every add the league has ever made. It's not an important aspect. The ACC has BC and Miami, and the AAC has UCONN and SMU/Housto...

860_rhody

WSU to the A10 is just common sense. Surprised it hasn't happened already.
Now just kick Duquesne out, and you've improved the conference significantly.

860_rhody

If its up to me, I'm picking Jaylen Brown.

860_rhody

Wow..the other 4 starters are going pro.

Which leaves Tyler Wilson as the best pitcher in the country.

860_rhody

Anyone have any idea when the dates for these games will be announced?

860_rhody

Excited about the new schedule. Could be as many as 6 A10 tourney teams this year (if the NCAA will allow for it).

860_rhody

This is an example of me practicing mod restraint! If this was my feifdom, I would ban anyone that suggests dropping football. From this board, from campus, from my life in general. I just find it such an offensive and cowardly position. If you're embarrassed by a bad football program, advocate for...

"Gordie was a great, great man and of course the greatest hockey player," said former Whalers owner Howard Baldwin. "Playing with his sons Mark and Marty in the NHL at the age of 52 will always be something no other athlete will be able to do. His impact on the city and the state was...

Drop. The. Program.

860_rhody

I think the only place mid-majors get screwed with the RPI is they don't get to face the abundance of Top 50 teams in conference so it makes it imperative to take advantage of the big games when you can. If you have an RPI of 30 but don't have any key road wins and maybe only have 1 or 2 notable wi...

860_rhody

The fans' reactions were priceless. Most exasperated bunch of angry people I've ever seen at a baseball game.

Unbelievable!! RHODY RHODY RHODY
Now let's play them in basketball.

What kind of school loses $500K per year just to avoid offending people? The players and the 10 people who care will get over it eventually, and in the meantime, enjoy our much improved basketball program.

Alec Peters back to Valpo.

I don't really wear hats. Can I borrow one of yours?

Perfect. Let's play them in Brooklyn.

Here's what they oughtta do: -1 "blah" team (Patriot League, NEC) -A10/ACC in Brooklyn (Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Miami) -1 above-average Mid-Major (Monmouth, Hofstra, Yale) -1 H/H "Power 5" (Virginia Tech, South Carolina, Texas Tech, UCONN!!!!) Would clearly want as many P5 team...

Get rid of it already. Nobody cares - it's like having a college hockey team in southern Mississippi. I'll make the announcement to all the players if they want me to.

860_rhody

Never understood how he even got offered by a Big East school. He wouldn't even be any good in the A10.

860_rhody

Why are we following this guy? We already have 3 frontcourt players coming in.

860_rhody

One school that makes too much sense: Virginia Tech. Projected top 25 but they haven't done too well the last few years so they can't act like they're too good for us. Would be like a Nebraska, but we wouldn't be a huge underdog.

860_rhody

H/Hs better be good.

860_rhody

Any chance we could be in the A10/ACC challenge at Barclays next year? Seems like a perfect opportunity with the Brown game being a part of the tournament.

860_rhody

His experience playing all those years with the Celtics should certainly help his development.

860_rhody

Dream scenario: GCU and Brown.
No excuses.

860_rhody

So Danny Hamilton from UCONN is going to the draft. Now I REALLY want to play them.

860_rhody

When was the last time URI was ranked, period? Forget about starting the season ranked, but ranked at any point in time? Would be very surprised if we can't sellout.

860_rhody

I don't think I saw a single post up by UNC the whole game. Unbelievable. Ochefu was so exhausted he could hardly move the whole second half, and UNC has 4 big men that could start anywhere in the country, all over 6'9.

860_rhody

Sounds about right. I saw the clip on CBS of his top 25; he couldn't stop talking about us. Said were gonna be "sensational".

860_rhody

Nice win by GW. Too bad they're gonna have a rough time next year.

860_rhody

I'm tempted to say any power 5 conference that would offer us a home and home we obviously have to strongly consider. I think if Uconn wanted to give us a away and a nuetral like Mohegan, if URI was allowed to control all the tickets for the game at Mohegan then we should take it. Agreed. That woul...

860_rhody

IMO, the A10 tourney teams next year: URI, DAY, VCU, LAS. I was thinking St. Joes would make it, but no Bembry=no tournament.
Next year will be a big year - we'll finally beat them in Philly. We'll beat Zoomass in Amherst, and we'll beat PC at the Dump.

860_rhody

Bad for the A10. That's two chances for very good wins.
