San Diego State, Florida Atlantic, Miami, UConn

Sure, why not. My god I love college basketball.

I’m only counting 4 or 5 players that were on the UConn team last year. Am I wrong? Less. Sanogo, Jackson, and Hawkins. (And Andrew Hurley). 4 graduates, couple transfers out. But Danny killed it reloading. Karaban and Clingan might be the best 2 freshmen on a team together in the country. Calcater...

These clips the tournament media team puts together are always so good. Jordan Hawkins is an easy guy to root for. He’ll be drafted, and it will be well-earned.

Just saw Andre Berry on the floor celebrating the UConn win. Just came to say this! Looks like he’s a grad assistant there. I either never knew that or totally forgot. Absolutely devastated that you don’t commit all my posts to memory :D (from the former player thread. I deleted the link to the ig ...

I’m very happy for Jalen Gaffney and FAU, too. What a great run for them.

Still so happy for Jalen and his family!

Andre Berry is on their staff, too, as a grad assistant. Don’t forget him. He deserves all good things.

I’m just so happy. And hungover.

Hurley mentioned before the game that he was very familiar with the Mitchell twins having watched them play a lot at URI. Would have loved to hear his unfiltered extended thoughts. They have talent and have now shown they are coachable. What a waste.

ace

Providence fans had a lot of fun when Hurley left (who they thought sucked anyway) or whenever a coaching rumor was brought up that had him leaving. They were so confident they had their guy and that he was theirs forever. Damn. Now, some claim he wasn’t all that good anyway, and they are lapping up...

One of my favorite plays from last night. Clingan is 7’2” and still beats guys down the court.

Started with Jacob sucks and morphed into, yeah and maybe Archie sucks, too! I can’t do this. Godspeed!

Whether the season ends tomorrow or later, it will be too soon. I haven’t enjoyed following a team this much since the 16-17 Rams (17-18 was great, too, but Hassan and winning the conference tournament and beating Creighton and all that was special). https://twitter.com/snyuconn/status/1638643102654...

Not exactly transfer related , but check out what Jacob Toppin said about URI :shock: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqHORClguYv/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= That’s really disingenuous for the ig post to name Cyril and Jeff when Toppin didn’t.

It doesn’t matter what changes in the game, this practice facility is necessary. A designated, quality court that is always set up and available is important.

ace

I could be wrong, but I can’t see Archie being all that hyped to go back to the Big 10 right now.

Did the Friar mascot text him? Who do they have in charge?

Introductory press conferences and related events are always a bit weird and not that exciting after the initial news drop, but this looks awkward af https://twitter.com/john_fanta/status/1638604117391310850?s=61 I don’t know if those specific rumors are true or not, but I am taking such satisfactio...

Really nice article on UConn freshman Donovan Clingan.

Obviously he wasn’t going to Providence, but it would have been the funniest possible next thing to happen to PC fans.

ace

I imagine Pitino will take any Iona player he wants. He doesn’t seem overly bothered about anything but his own situation.

ace

Would McDermott take the Notre Dame job? Seems like he has a pretty sweet gig at Creighton.

ace

Lying is weird enough. Lying to make Ed Cooley look good is next level.

I panicked and just posted. Not putting much stock into it, but thought it was worth sharing. Apologies.

No worries. I saw it earlier and appreciated the tweet under it wondering if Archie would hire Bobby Hurley and Richard Pitino as his assistants at Providence.

See? Jokes. I don’t think they’re necessarily the best ones, but it’s all in good fun.

He’s not trying to act like he has sources. He makes jokes.

Has this been posted already today? Anyone seen this?

That isn’t a serious account.

I know twitter isn’t real life, but some people are getting nasty with the Cooley rumors they’re posting.

ace

There’s reminders everywhere that the transfer portal, which can work for players, is not even close to being a sure thing. A guy like Corey Floyd transferred from UConn to Providence, there was some bad blood all around (although Hurley and Floyd had a nice moment after their Big East Tournament ga...

Couple thoughts after the first weekend-

1. Coaches, let’s try to keep our shirts on, please.

2. How much do you think think the NCAA would really prefer that Alabama not win the whole thing?

ace

I can’t wait to see what Cooley does or doesn’t do with current PC players. Take some with him and that hate fire is fueled even more.

ace

The house listing is just the cherry on top. That stuff takes time to get together and they just had it all ready to hit publish.

I don’t like Providence, I don’t like Cooley. Now I guess I get to figure out if the Cooley hate was Providence adjacent or a stand alone feeling.

ace

Congrats to Dan. He always had a higher ceiling than Cooley and has now surpassed him in tourney wins with 5 less years on the job. That thing about the tournament wins was always my favorite to say to Providence fans before last year’s debacle, and now order has been restored. With Cooley gone, I ...

He entered and came back once. Doing it a second time seems unlikely, imo.

Feels like bizarro world when you look at the NIT and you see Villanova AT Liberty and losing. Cam Whitmore and Justin Moore were out for Villanova with injuries (?). I do believe that they were both banged up, but I wonder if they would have played in a NCAA tournament game. They did travel with t...

ace

Rutgers lost at home to Hofstra. It has to be tough emotionally to think you’re going to THE tournament and then two days later your season ends in a totally different one.

ace

St. John’s would be a rebuild for Pitino.

It seems like one of Georgetown, St. John’s, or Providence will be left out or at least not getting/keeping their first choice. If Cooley stays and Pitino goes to St. John’s, does Georgetown go with Shrewsberry?

Today I learned that there is a person named Sundance Wicks.

It’s only March 14th, and a lot of teams are still playing. We’re way too early in the process to talk yourself into liking the current roster. Ish is pretty much the only guy who could get attention from better schools. They’ll have their meetings, see which guys are definitely out who they’re fine...

He had a few nice moments for a bad team. He has a very involved twitter family member, who called out Ewing a few times about playing time. He might have been correct but something to maybe consider.

Freeman has three years of eligibility remaining and will be able to play immediately according to the one-time transfer exception adopted by both the NCAA and the league. I don’t know the rule and a very quick web search gave little clarification, so apologies in advance… But didn’t he use the 1-t...

This is from an article in his recruiting thread https://keaneyblue.com/viewtopic.php?t=9247 Freeman selected George Washington ahead of finalists Florida, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss and league rival Massachusetts.

Interesting but not surprising, given some of his public comments this season and what he and his family have gone through.

No longer the coach but staying on as a “Special Advisor for Athletics”

Fran’s not shedding a tear over this move.

He participated in senior night, so I guess it’s not a surprise.
