Or maybe just enforce a 50/50 home/away split. More away games for top teams would mean that they'd want to play teams like Rhody when they're good.

This is NOT a pro-Baron posting, but Hurley is finding out, just as Baron did, how difficult it is to attract good teams to the RC. i don't think he realized how hard it would be. And it doesn't matter how connected you are -- good teams don't want to go on the road and lose an OOC game. Iggy, whil...

Hell yeah... I cannot wait any longer. Need more Rhody Hoop!!

A10 Produced Video on the Pre-Season First Team

Running back Justin Semmes and defensive end Wayne Seaton each tore their right ACL and are done for the season.

Great 30 minutes of A10 talk with LaSalle coach Dr. John Giannini and VCU coach Shaka Smart.

Extended conversation about RPI and difficulty of scheduling decent teams when you're in the A10, even following a Sweet 16 appearance.

It was almost unfortunate that St Bonnies made the NCAAs a few years ago. Now they can't necessarily be lumped into the mediocre group like Duquesne.

The New York Times' Zach Schonbrun posted an article following A10 Media Day: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/09/sports/ncaabasketball/atlantic-10-hoping-edginess-of-barclays-and-brooklyn-will-rub-off-on-conference.html Last year, the first A-10 tournament at Barclays was overshadowed by the final tr...

So glad the Sawx won last night. I am always nervous with these best of 5s.

Awesome. Glad for the students and the URI Community as a whole. This will also have a positive impact in basketball recruiting right alongside the major improvements in the Athletic complex with the Ryan Family Student-Athlete Complex and Ryan Center. I expect Projo purposely put "spa-like&quo...

Sooo excited to watch Gilvydas play!! He will get a HUGE cheer from me and hopefully from the Ryan Center crowd when he's first introduced.

Yeah, who cares about pre-season. It's all about where you stand when the season turns to post-season and after.

Gilvydas will be all-conf.

I thought I had this game on DVD... I'll have to double check but it's not on my written list of games.

Obadiah, you run the best contests! Thanks!

*GULP*

Agreed. Can't stand ESPN for FF. Yahoo all the way.

As SeanMc would say, that's weak sauce.

Nice, Hooopz! Great day to be up in Boston last Friday.

Yeah, very fishy. Yeah, they are playing 2 more conf games now (18 vs 16) but why wouldn't you want the sure thing sellout every other year if you did it like URI/PC?

Fair point, Cameron_Dollar. I would maybe counter by saying Dan has some people he can lean on outside his staff to provide some balance and perspective.

That CBS ranking is by the Norlander guy who had the craziest A10 predicted finish oi all the CBS guys. He's also the only one of the 6 CBS college hoop guys I had never heard of. This is his own opinion and not the combined intelligence of the CBS team. Compare him against all the regulars at CBS: ...

And the Eagles' fans still won't show up for any game except Cuse or Duke.

Weird. They already have a Director of Basketball Operations - Kevin Tirone Asst Director Basketball Operations - Steve Enright Graduate Manager - Chris Martin This position seems to be above Graduate Manager but below the DBO and aDBO, especially how it's contingent on funding beyond this season. H...

Looks even better under the new brighter LEDs!

Yep, all controlled and fully programmable.

Yeah, I'm concerned if the Sawx lose this game today. Lucky you for getting to be there.

This awesome announcement must have been the "mystery" one I was told about earlier. What a great surprise to have this in place before the season begins! Yes, Rod. LEDs have full range dimming, instant on-off, and 80% power savings over the old metal-halide systems used at the Ryan Center...

Cox Sports will air its exclusive insider special “Rhody in Rome” Friday October 18 at 10pm, on OSN (Channels 5 and 1005 for Cox Subscribers).

CoxSportsOnline.com has posted an Atlantic 10 season preview video worth a look:
http://coxsportsonline.com/2013/10/a-10 ... moving-up/

Coooool.

Does SI have an online archive feature where we could possibly look that up?

Yes, BFC, that was definitely due to Baron's buyout. If you look at previous seasons URI is closer to the middle of the pack in spending on men's hoop in the A10.

Plus, that was FY2012 I think which ended June 30, 2012

Yes, Rod. Exactly. We haven't been served a heavy dose of winning just yet, but I think we'll all be cured by Spring!!

Did you shed a tear when Saab was discontinued?

The BBC's Top Gear TV show did a great tribute to Saab a season or two ago. Here it is:

OMG, I just had a momentary stomach turning thought of what the roster would look like this year if Baron had been allowed to coach his final year on the contract.

Cool to bring this topic back, as there may be some challenges for Dan's defensive style if the refs are too rigid with their interpretation. For the block/charge, I think it makes a charge much more difficult since you need to be in position before the offensive player begins to make his upward mov...

Two hours per the invite. There will be plenty going on throughout the event... Between eating, getting some drinks, chatting with friends, staff, players, there will be unveiling of the new uniforms, new video productions, and the first radio show of the season. Either way, it's unlikely this will ...

Rudder's on point!

Rod, I don't think you're going to get a bunch of drunks there with an hour of open bar and eating.

It is so far!

I'm on there... this will be, as always, a Friar dominated event.

Reading the invitation again, it is clearer that this was not billed as a bring your kids type event: Tip off the 2013-14 Rhode Island Men’s Basketball season in style on October 30th with a premiere cocktail hour Cocktail hours and kids are generally mutually exclusive. I say again, I'm glad I'll h...

That is an awesome sight!!
