Get the battleaxe off my TV. No wonder they’ve missed 7 in a row.

Gotta close them out. Dont let them back in.

I know we don’t want to offend people’s delicate sensitivities with the refs - but holy shit this is garbage. Yup! Is that watchdog group who flagged temple for point shaving also monitoring refs? Some of these calls are bizarre. Like the one ref who called I think Fuchs with a foul from like 40ft ...

Hey don’t talk bad about Fuchs he’s a double double machine!

I joined early before there were options but we're in the $20/month bucket where it's a set it and forget it thing for us. We don't even notice it, to be honest. With the new management you’ve gotta re-up in the system. I don't know, I see the emails come through with my receipt so I assume everyth...

So much talent on this team when they decide they give a shit. Maybe they respond to the public call outs. This is why it’s so infuriating watching them lose. They clearly are a top half A10 team but they just seem to just not give a single fuck. Like they're playing pick-up games in Mackal. Fordha...

They at least look like they kinda give a shit today.

The Foumena thing realllly f'n bothers me We finally have a center with P6 size and skill and either the coach doesn't believe in him...and likes Tyson Brown's game better or some damn reason...or Fou just refuses to do what the coaches ask him to do.

A10 Game Friday March 8

VCU (19-11) @ #25 Ranked Dayton (-8.5) (23-6) ESPN2/ESPN+ 7pm

Best thing for the A10 is a strong finish for Dayton, win all the way to the finals, and lose to another team.

Would be nice for Dayton to be a 6 seed.

It seems that most of us like Cam. I am no exception. I am interested in how other people on this board rate the progress of Cam this season. Eg. Not much difference from the beginning of the season or a completely different player at the end of the season. I'm no talent savant, but I actually thou...

The cash needs to go to David Money Green our best player ….what? No it doesn’t. Without question, first priority is Cam and Fuchs. 3 years left. I don’t know if there’s loopholes for Fuchs with him being from overseas, but if there is, gotta figure it out. If can’t pay Fuchs, Hammond is next for b...

I’m on the fence with Luis K , I like him but if the staff wants to move on them I’m ok with that as well As a bigger body guard who is capable of going down low, is a plus offensive player, and can at least handle the ball? I'd like him to stay. I'm figuring House is on the way out, and you'll nee...

Blue Man

Love the addition of Stone with regards to NIL , this is huge for the future Also for the present. If Tom and David are willing to put resources into having a dedicated guy running it, then I think that means that they're willing to put a lot more into it as well. Also, having Stone in here tells m...

I wonder whether we will see people now trying to offload their A-10 Tournament tickets? Would think URI Athletics is really going take on bath trying to sell its mandated allotment. It was bad enough in the past when the school try to sell them to fans of other A-10 schools. I have not seen this a...

Based on PT from last night, a couple of tier 2 & 3 guys are likely moving on. Did AM comment on why specific players got no run? Yeah I'm assuming all of tier 3 are gone based on their attitudes and how last night went. I could see Weston going which would really hurt for a team that will need...

Blue Man

Most likely can’t expect to know who is getting how much, just that it’s going to mens basketball. OK thanks. I realize NIL money goes to more than hoops. When I see and hear other places with player X getting Y NIL, I guess that is leaked or disclosed. I would expect NIL administration costs are k...

For everyone who cannot stand so-called "coach speak," be thankful you have Archie Miller not blowing smoke up anyone's rear. end He sees exactly what everyone else sees. He's 100% truthful to the fans. He's not sugarcoating it. His honesty and straightforwardness is refreshing and spot o...

What's the over/under on new faces next year? 9 again? New faces isn't the issue, it's the norm. UConn won a national title with 7 new faces last year. They've got 6 this year. It's your core. Question is, who is that core on this team? Who's got the attitude issue(s)? From a priority perspective I...

Blue Man

Remember when future NBA point guard Jeff Dowtin was moved off the ball for 2 years so that a shoot first inefficient selfish player could have his ego fed?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

(and so do I, I'm going to lay down and weep tears of unfathomable sadness now)

Blue Man

Gonna throw in Dubsky as a positive from last night. Not saying he needs to start or even play more minutes but he brought some of that energy and hustle last night that's been sorely missed. Kind of sad that when a dude plays hard and looks like he wants to be on the floor it stands out, but that'...

Blue Man

Yeah, how did the A-10 get multiple bids back in the day? Winning marquee games in the non-conference and not losing to low majors. Even high majors need marquee OOC wins. Look at Ole Miss right now. They went undefeated in the OOC, 13-0. Best wins? UCF and Memphis who are NIT teams right now. Ever...

I think Ish would have been a leader on this team and maybe would have stopped some of the bullshit that's been going on with some of the attitudes and apathy of some of the players. If Ish stated, we wouldn't have some of the bs attitudes because House wouldn't be here. I do like some of House's g...

9 A10 Teams with NET between 68 and 108 The power conferences and their allies that run the NCAA must be very pleased that their secretive NET ranking system is working exactly as they intended. It means that only one A-10 team (#21 Dayton) is at this time guaranteed an NCAA bid. Rankings in the ra...

Asking about playing time isn’t something new. That’s been one of the biggest recruiting factors since the beginning of time. But yea, he’s stating the obvious saying playing time and NIL are being mentioned by recruits. Nothing groundbreaking there. I'm so sick of whiny coaches with all the flexib...

Update - looking at his profile, it seems he has not posted at all this season. I sincerely hope he is ok.

I’ve seen him at the games, he’s as OK as any of us who continue to sign up for this pain.

He doesn't really get to showcase his skills at this games honestly. He's one of the most popular DJs in the state of Rhode Island. Very successful.

Now, let’s look at our own school URI. Basketball use to be the premier sport for the school. Now who knows what the hell is going on.

I have read that UMass will have to pay the A-10 an exit fee of $4M if their departure goes as planned in more than a year from now. It would be $5M if leaving was less than a year notice. It likely will not have to be concerned about leaving behind NCAA revenues as it earned none to date in the la...

This is where I'm at. In terms of "basketball only" conferences, there's the Big East, then the A10, then everyone else. The Big East is the only place that a program like Dayton or VCU could go for a step up in competition or revenue. The Big East doesn't seem interested in expansion, as...

Loyola also did $1 beers for the Dayton game. The agony! Copying other teams’ gimmicks to get people in the door! They also did not storm the court. $1 beers is awesome.

The walk is 2 minutes at most. It's no different than the walk to the workout facility or training rooms.
