Nothing casual about how this team goes about their business. Up 11 with a minute to go and they’re running plays and executing. What a difference. That's what culture looks like "Marie-Paule Foppossi threw herself to the Hagan Arena floor in pursuit of a loose ball. Saint Joseph’s was about t...

How about Gandy? Whatever happened to him? Some of his posts and pics about Baron were hilarious!

The end is in sight as it likely is just four weeks from today. The A-10 tournament play in games are on Wednesday March 9th in Washington DC.

Former Providence Journal writer, and later sports editor, Art Martone passed away last night. Spent over 30 years at the Journal, though he covered mostly the Red Sox if I remember correctly.

RhowdyRam02

I certainly appreciate the viewpoint of not firing him now and understand it doesn't happen often midseason. However, he's lost this team, we're in a freefall and I don't see any way he survives this at season's end. So if the writing is on the wall, and he's already lost the team, then why let thi...

Group 4 is probably most unlikely - Bobby isn't walking through that door and I can't think of any Northeast/Mid-Atlantic coaches that fit this description (NC State Head Coach?)

With the conference schedule half over, or just over half over if the George Mason game isn't rescheduled, it's probably time to keep track of our seeding possibilities for the A10 tournament, and for the 3rd year in Cox' 4 seasons we're tracking the bottom of the conference. We're tied for 10th pla...

What is former Rutger's coach Mike Rice doing these days? I think he may be in D2 or maybe D3. At least we will know he has a pulse when coaching. I think Cox may have been an assistant on his staff at Rutgers and an interim head coach when Rice was canned. Hard pass after the stories we heard comi...

There's a giant difference between running afoul of NCAA rules and being investigated by the FBI.

I believe it was the A-10 league office that requested students not be seated behind the visitor's bench at the Ryan Center. Many coaches complained about the treatment they got.

Yeah, great idea!

One thing the Red Sox do well is having a legend of the game they honor. I'm sure they pay to make sure the players are there, and we might not be able to do that, but if the legend is already here do things right and recognize them
