It’s a really good point and outside of SDSU run to the finals last year their performance in the NCAAs hasn’t been good the last few years when they started getting more bids

Whatever the reason it seemed to work Cal upset Duke and made the sweet 16 in 1994 after the firing

Drums, don't be too jaded on players coming from lower-level schools, just need to find the right fit. Look at the players below who are All-A10 (2024) and where they came from: Josh Cohen (UMass) - St Francis (Pa) Jordan King (Richmond) - ETSU, Siena Neal Quinn (Richmond) - Lafayette Dae Dae Grant...

Good luck to Gonzaga handling him.

You want to see D Klingon face up against Zach ?

My level of confidence in whoever we get is not very high right now. Since just about every transfer we've gotten the last 2 years has been over rated. The proof is in the playing. I admit, Bone, that I am jaded as far as the portal is concerned. I am not high on lower level players coming in to ma...

Utah State 13 fouls Purdue 5 Breathe on Edey, foul. Utah St waited until Purdue scored 13 unanswered points before finally calling a timeout. That's pretty much it. PRT, if I was a college coach in an NCAAT game, I wouldn’t let my opponent go on a double digit point run (never mind 13) without call...

I think he was

Bozeman was also an assistant for Campanelli @ Cal and took over for him when he got fired in 93

reef

Wow had some nice upsets with JMU and coached Jason Kidd @ Cal his last year 92-93

RIP he recently passed away

reef

Yeah let’s hope for the best on Hammond ! Need some good news and 1 key player can go a long way on improving that win loss record !

reef

Edey has 51 points and 32 rebounds in 1.5 games pretty impressive even though I want Purdue out !

reef

When was Lou Campanelli a URI assistant ?

Everyone else I knew

reef

Saw a Shaheen Holloway rumor to Louisville

reef

Yeah I had a late feeling that Illinois would spank Duquesne, face it the Dukes were a middling team in a not great A10 that got hot in the conference tournament

Hats off to them for making it to the round of 32 a huge long shot

Billyboy78 wrote: ↑1 month ago It seems almost all of the players we have been reported 'showing interest' are guards, even though it's obvious we need bigs. I think more guards ( 1 or 2 of Luis, House and Ways) and/or our incoming guard won't be here.

If Arch can find better players then they will be gone most likely

Say it ain’t so Billy Self ! Can’t get his team to play any defense !

Zags 9 straight sweet 16s very very impressive!

Good half Zags and Kansas with not much defense being played

I like watching Dickinson play

I didn’t scrutinize every post closely, Reef, but I did notice some negative posts of Cooley similar to some negative posts we get of Archie on here as to style of play, player usage, etc. Didn’t appear to be a lot of excitement around KJ either. A few posters defended KJ regarding his NCAA discipl...

reef

I think @ least 1 more leaves maybe 2 more , we could have a good player commit to us from the portal then someone may leave cuz of playing time as long as the player coming in is better than the player leaving...sign me up all day long and twice on Sunday That’s what I’m thinking 208 exactly

reef

Yeah good effort for Dayton , seemed like AZ had a little too much for them , that’s the danger of getting a 7-10 seed as opposed to a 6 v 11 some times you get a better round of 32 matchup

Jdrums#3 wrote: ↑1 month ago I just finished a visit to the Georgetown basketball board out of curiosity. The past 3-4 days have been quiet regarding KJ.

Any intel on our end floating around ?

What’s their consensus on Coach Cooley ? Do they like him long term and just giving him a pass on his first year ?

With the way things are in the sport today and a new AD coming in, I wonder how much longer Schmidt decides to stay around in Olean ? Could he retire ? Could he go the Phil Martelli route (but via resignation vs firing) and take a big paying P6 assistants job to help a young coach with X’s and O’s,...

DH said in an interview years ago he would like to eventually coach in the NBA , it can happen down the road

Yale down 6 with 27 secs to Brown !

You had Brown and Foumena but Miller rarely played Fuchs and either Brown or Foumena at the same time, especially once Green arrived. I would have liked Fuchs and Brown or Fuchs and Foumena in together with Green at guard but once Miller went small with the line up that almost never happened. Last ...

reef

Green shot 43 % from 3 which I bet comes down next year but if he can maintain 40 % and get his FT % over 70 % and minutes to over 30 then I can see 17 per game and 5-6 rebounds as well

reef

Outside of the Aztecs the Mountain West has pissed down their legs in the NCAA Tournament the last few years

reef

Green has to do a much better job of playing tough defense without fouling , tok msny lazy fouls gets him in foul trouble

Hopefully with a long off season with no question about his eligibility he is that senior leader we need

Wouldn’t surprise me if he averages 17-18 a night

I saw URI play in the Bay Area a few times when I lived there

Cable Car classic 93 v Alabama game in Santa Clara

Nice improvement for the A10, not a terrible season considering.
