Holy cow. Jimmy Baron is a much better basketball player. Putting the ball through the rim still matters, right? And what else did Jimmy do well? You don't have to do anything better when it's 1300 shots at 50/43/90% compared to 1500 at 35/28/80%. And let's not make Fatts into Magic Johnson. He ave...

Very good but not great player. If he could shoot, he would qualify as great. He is a grinder and a very good perimeter defender. And he seems like a really good kid. But, you just can't wash away 35% on 1400 shots. 28% from three. Not when it's with 3 or 4 rebounds and assists. That actively made ...

Becker seemingly has the resume of success, experience and familiarity with the area that BC is in... So why would they ever want to interview him? They're BC. 1. I would be very surprised if they went with a guy without at least some experience fighting high major recruiting battles. 2. Taking ove...

I think COVID and the non-traditional season will be cover, and most will get a pass for this season...except Jimmy at BC, but he was there for 7 seasons. I'm very disapointed in the way the season played out, but i'm glad we at least had one. It was nice until about 10 games ago when it became obv...

Why can't guys at least wait until their season is over, to announce they are transferring? His season is over with a foot injury. He seems like he would be a good 1 year fix for us, and not as big of a reach as his teammate Tabbs. "Boston College guard announced on Twitter that he is going to...

Maybe not a major player but maybe toward the middle of the BE Fordham is just a lost cause even DePaul is better than them Any high major team in a great city is just the right hire and right support away from being a consistent top 30 type team. Now, it's hard to get both those right but college ...

BC is not a very attractive basketball head coaching job. Basketball is a #3 sport at BC. Look at the recent history of head coaches, Not exactly your Whose-who list for a P5 school. BC would be fortunate if Schmidt took the job. I actually agree with this take on all accounts. They never should've...

Nobody fuckin does that with like 8 seconds left in the half. BS. Is this your first time watching basketball? You rarely see it because 95% of the time you have at least six fouls. The other 5% of the time good coaches down to middle school will handle it a certain way. Steal a possession using fo...

I've never seen anyone do that at the end of the first half. 95% of coaches use fouls at the end of halves to prevent teams from getting an open shot. It’s pretty basic basketball knowledge.

That three was a -2000 favorite to go in. How on earth do you not give a couple fouls there? At least one in the backcourt and one in the frontcourt before they even get near a shot. As much on the assistants there, too. Coaching malpractice.

BC, while having the prestige of being in the ACC, is a tough gig these days. It is one of the worst programs in the ACC having not done very well since it joined the league (90-178 in conference regural season games). Its facilities are near the bottom for the ACC and it spends far less on its pro...

I can't stand where this team is at and I can't stand the coaching performance, but the reality in my opinion: Best case scenario 1. Cox Improves, possibly makes new staff hires, players stay. Recruiting is stable. Worst case scenario 2. Cox is fired, which begins an unpredictable path to a deeper ...

It’s kind of like the argument over how you judge trades in sports... it’s always easy to say whether they were good or not a few years out, but its way more interesting to look at what was known at the time. Who else was in the conversation when Hurley was hired? I know that one dude who pops up h...

Hey look what the cat dragged in our Superfan GBG who only rears his head when things are bad. Go back to critiquing Munford or Hurley or any number of your other horrendous trolly takes.

Blueman nailed it. What was missing from last year? Three point shooting and an honest low post scoring threat. We have both now plus that athleticism , so what the hell is wrong. Its averaging 19-20 TOs a game. Thats 19-20 scoreless possessions wasted and 19-20 additional opportunities for the oth...

1. Carey is not any good. 2. You only get a sixth year if you missed both years for circumstances outside of your control. That is, missing two years because of injury or something else.

URI presently has a three game winning streak versus Boston College, has an all-time winning 3-2 record at Conte Forum, and split two games at the Ryan Center with the Eagles.

I think you're looking at it like a traditional undergrad, though. It's different if you're on an athletic scholarship - You're essentially working a full-time job AND also going to college. Yes, you get some benefits for that - school gets paid for, you might get positive attention from other stud...

Basketball is a much more major part of PC's institutional identity than basketball is a major part of URI's institutional identity. This is the reason PC invests so much more in its basketball program. Correct. This is why the Big East is very important to PC whereas the A-10 is not so critical to...

I don't intently follow basketball outside of URI, but how many kids leave college go pro overseas and eventually make it to the NBA? I'm thinking few. Does being on a losing team hurt Daly for his ability to play overseas? Talent is recognized wherever you are, as long as you have it. I think Fatt...

We all know that UConn will never play us as long as Dan is the HC because I believe someone previously mentioned it would be too emotional for him, people have previously mentioned how we have never got BC to play which makes no sense because we’ve been better than them for the past couple of year...

I think the non conference schedule is an important topic for discussion. How many road-only series would be good against top 50 teams going forward? OOC?

GBG, I'm sure Cox has tried to schedule more P5's, but just can't get them. The one time that Thorr shot down games against Va Tech was a mistake, I'll give you that. In the future, if URI wants to play P5's, they will have to do what Chaney did...play them on the road, with no return home game. Ho...

Is it fair for P5 Teams to never visit Mid Major Home Courts? Is it fair for Mid Major Teams to have to go to P5 Home Courts if they want to play P5 teams? Many years ago the NCAA encouraged P5 level teams to play toad games in OOC. But that was long ago. No more. Power, Greed and Money are what it...

Some VCU posters were opening gleeful about the number of transfers at URI. My guess (after the MSS news) is that these people now have a different take on the out of control transfer frenzy since it now affects them. The NCAA does not have a problem. Coaches with vision, history of developing skil...

If we slid back into mediocrity......one's thing's for sure, things aren't as good as they were the last 2 years Dan was here. I think next year will tell us all we need to know. You need to wait until next year before figuring this out? URI hired the wrong guy. Doesn't mean a real search would hav...

The effect that stood out to me: that it would be the end of program building. Since players will be coming and going every year for most schools, it will be on the staff of each school to get the most out of their talent in any given year. If you've got a great coach that can get a bunch of strang...

Beat PC which gives him a baseline of D, was better than .500 which gets him at least to C, beats the teams he should beat gets him to C+.

They will be two of the most dominant bigs in the A10. Neither was even the best player on their (last) HS team. Neither was All-Met. I believe one made one of the other teams.

Hey, the huge Rhody fan is back!! This is actually 1 take that has at least a 50% chance of being true, there is significant risk with the twins.

I'm not sure this loss is as much as a killer as we think. Our season will be made or broken in conference. An at-large is still a possibility IMO. It's a long season.

To try to elaborate on my own thoughts about this a bit - There is something about all of this that makes me cringe. Basically, that an adult is using his or her connection with a teenager to help him at his next job. URI has definitely been on the positive end of this at times - Jimmy Baron was a ...
