Watched the first half on replay- I didn't realize how much time Hassan missed getting that cut taken care of.

I liked Reischel making that big 3 point play before the half. He's kind of like Biruta- both really smart guys who play basketball better when they think less.

It's on the game replay through Cox. They show close-ups of him shooting, and there are some distinctive *clanks* seeming to come from the direction of the basket off camera. Keep shooting, Kuran!

Glad you said that first part, bressler. EC is clearly hurting. It's fair to question whether everyone is better off with him sitting to heal as much as possible or having him gut it out. I'm still of the belief that a percentage of EC is better than a back up at 100%. But the questioning of his att...

In honor of Gil- Sabonis is Lithuanian.

The excitement was warranted. And, it's another recruiting case where they got their guy, and everything they told him could happen is working out.

St. Joe's-Davidson is a surprisingly good game so far.

He just really wants thing to develop here, and he wants his guys to have the opportunity to play in a great college basketball environment. It's been there in flashes this season. The team is doing their part- they're winning, easy to root for, and working hard. It would be nice to not have to worr...

You're not wrong, Rod, but at least they're at the games. Dan's being pretty clear with saying things like this- https://twitter.com/billkoch25/status/561327770811129858 Also, a semi- unrelated thing that maybe only I find nice, but it's been really great to hear some of Dan's former players talking...

They had a great crowd at Buffalo last night- just under 5800, and it was their biggest crowd since 2010. Their average before that game was under 3000. It reminds me a little of Rhody in that the potential is there, but the fan base can still be inconsistent. Regardless, they pulled it together for...

I think he stays longer than people think, especially as some have him going after this year. Danny White, the AD, took a chance in bringing him in, but they had Duke related connections. The previous coach was well liked and the program wasn't bad. His family's moved around a lot- from Florida to t...

This is kind of their Nebraska game. They hyped it as a "black out" game and really went all out to get people there. They needed this game. Their record is good, but they hadn't beat the best teams in the conference. Y'all (and ESPN) are catching them on a good night, makes me happy! Ford...

Love this guy (Biruta, of course) On being the hero against Fordham: It was a team effort. I was lucky enough to get the rebound and tip it in. I was excited. People all around campus have been stopping to congratulate me. On watching himself make the game winner on film: It's weird. I felt like E.C...

Buffalo plays tonight at 10 on ESPNU, if anyone's interested.

I heard Stevens explain that- he knew they played a great game and said the result was kind of beside the point, either the kind of desperate shot went in or it didn't. I kind of get that, but it also speaks to how comfortable it is to be a coach in a successful program where, until tournament time,...

Bill Self hit a table and broke the LCD screen. These things happen. Most coaches have their moments of crazy, some just get worse reps than others. Except for maybe Fred Hoiberg. That dude looks like he's working a boring desk job. He's one of my favorite coaches, though. Bobby got mad at the Ohio ...

The very same Sidiki Johnson that Hurley coached at St. Benedict's. It's not just a match between player and coach, it's also the circumstances that bring them together and whatever each needs at the time.

Aaman returned with 9 points and 14 rebounds. Wagner won and is now 5-4 in conference (7-13).

Buffalo won on Tuesday and is now 13-6, 4-3 in the MAC. Bobby leads Dan 1-0 in altercations with opposing coaches.

Huh? The post you quoted is from Obabiah. Iggy accidentally wrote this- Dayton loses at UMass; Davidson loses at St. Joe's. Which PTR apparently read, so he wrote this- I am kinda afraid Dayton might be going into another one of those late in the year slides now. Baddd loss for Davidson. We avoided...

The Rhode Island official release speaks to his academic performance at Memphis.

We know the background. I have no problem keeping an open mind and trusting this program.

Yeah, that's his rep, but with this current group of players, they feel they can take the chance. Hurley isn't exactly being cryptic in his comments.

Rutgers has scored 2 points in the second half against Michigan State- they're at the 10 minute mark.

Score is 62-36.

At one point, they had dropped their older teams. I'm not sure what their status is right now.

Mike Aaman is back tonight for Wagner after missing about a month. Glad he got the chance to check in with everybody and watch that win last night at Fordham.

Wow, Rasheed Sulaimon has been kicked off the Duke team. He was a starter before this season. Another kid who didn't live up to the hype. Goodman's already trashed him…only kidding! You're not really wrong, though. This was in Goodman's Insider piece: The former McDonald's All American had been giv...

“Kuran is a talented, versatile, athletic player that fits our program’s style of play,” said head coach Dan Hurley. “We are excited about his desire to be a part of our hard-working culture at Rhode Island and get his career back on track as a high-level, top-rated recruit coming out of high school...

Interpreting Dan's comments: Kuran, you have talent. We all know that. You have work to do- commit yourself to it, and this should work out well for all involved.

As I said, I don't like in bounding the ball to the best scorer, which Hurley has done in the past and it hasn't worked out. X going coast to coast last year and turning it over, for instance. I like that he has a PG he trusts, who can then get it to whoever is open. The difference between coaching...

Love this quote right here... “In a turnaround season, everything isn’t always going to go smoothly,” Terrell said. “You’re not going to have a lot of 15-, 20-point wins. You’re going to have to grind a lot of it out, and that’s what we did.” Yep, Jared gets it, and that's not always easy for a pla...
