Anyone know what happened here? Offers from cincy, Iowa, ri, joes and he chooses D2 Philly U?

NJ03

I've never liked Fordham. Maybe it's because my cousin played soccer there and liked to believe it's the ninth ivy. Maybe it's because they've dragged our conference RPI down for over a decade. Regardless I hope we smoke them on Wed

NJ03

Wow...

NJ03

Yes!!! Welcome, Jarvis!! Good things are coming our way folks. Lord knows we've been patient enough. Now let's lock up Gustys!

He's certainly got all areas of the country covered - New England, Cali, Midwest, Deep South.

NJ03

What about Earl Watson?

NJ03

Great second half! I feel good for the kids they deserved this W. Let's build on it and finish strong.

NJ03

If I have to choose between Garrett and everyone else we are after combined, then it would be Garrett in a second. A solid PG is the main missing link now. Think about how good EC would actually be if he has a true point guard? The fact that he's doing what he's doing now without a PG is downright s...

“In the A-10, when your two best players are freshmen, in the short term, you’re going to lose. In the long term, we’re going to win. But it’s hard to see that right now.” -Hurley “It’s hard to win in this conference,” he said. “Every team can play. But coach Hurley is a great coach. We’re bound to ...

NJ03

These losses would be a lot easier to handle if we had at least one quality incoming freshman recruit signed for next season. Or even just one recruit signed in general. The fact that we have nobody aside from a JUCO PF is extremely concerning. Hassan and EC are the real deal and will only get bette...

NJ03

Just got home and saw the box score. Was wondering how on earth we could shoot 52% from the floor, 50% from 3 and 75% from the line and lose....then I saw the turnovers. 18....sigh

NJ03

Got my vote. Just beat UMass next week PLEASE.

NJ03

Would have loved to have both. But if I were to pick one it would be EC hands down.

NJ03

I don't know, something is off about this situation. We desperately, desperately, DESPERATELY need a PG. We haven't signed any incoming freshman for 2014. This kid is available and oh yeah, his current head coach who knows about this kids ability better than anyone just happens to be the father of o...

NJ03

However no top 25 RPI wins As I said earlier even with a loss to URI today you would have still been in just closer to the bubble. If you win the games your supposed to (us, Mason, duq) then you're fine. Here use this: http://www.rpiforecast.com/wizard/Massachusetts.html Even if we lose out, we'll ...

NJ03

We're going to start getting these wins eventually. We're close. But man oh man is the transition process tough to watch.

However no top 25 RPI wins

NJ03

Losing to URI isn't going keep us out of the tourney, unless we completely collapse over the last 8 games we are in. Our rpi is way too high and our SOS is good. Keep dreaming folks. A loss to URI would not bounce you from the tourney but it would certainly put you a step closer to that bubble. Whi...

NJ03

Agreed. Been waiting for payback from the 2009 game for 5 long years. Get it done tomorrow.

NJ03

These kids weren't even alive when Bobby Hurley was playing college hoops. He's not the reason we are not landing these guys. I don't know what it is. Not sure if it's just bad recruiting, lack of a strong selling point, etc. it could also be that we are flat out aiming too high and putting all of o...

NJ03

Unacceptable.

NJ03

Line is VCU -15

I'll be taking the points fairly hard here. I Have had success with taking big numbers against Rhody this year. Don't see why tomorrow will be any different.

NJ03

According to his Instagram page he's redshirting.

Agreed. If he keeps improving he'll be the top player in the A10 in two years. The kids ceiling is incredible, he hasn't even hit his stride yet. Let Severe win A10 ROY, who cares.

NJ03

Pathetic rebounding display against a very bad team. This is extremely disappointing.

NJ03

Seems like we are way too reliant on the 3 tonight

NJ03

Hassan looks motived playing in his home city.

Preview for tonight's game and Q&A with Vin Parise on URI

So weird seeing a Calipari team play such lazy and uninspired defense. These kids are just going through the motions til draft day.

NJ03

Love them

NJ03

I would direct my ire more at Carothers, Petro and the dumbass General Assembly. We live in a state that rewards mediocrity. Bingo. Don't hate the man. Hate the powers at large for falling for him and his agents tricks, especially after the Va Tech scheme. "Sometimes we want to believe somethi...

NJ03

My DVR ran out so I didn't get a chance to rewatch it. But was it a legit foul that sent Gil to the line at the end of the game? After watching it once it sort of looked like a make up call for the hoax 3 FT's GMU got on the half-court heave.

NJ03

You know what, NJ03, you keep kneeling in front of your Jimmy Baron autographed picture or whatever. I don't give e flying shit if it was CIT, CBI or whatever. You know why I wasn't accurate in Jimmy? Because I didn't give a fat rat's ass about his one dimentional overrated shooting. He's as high u...

NJ03

Hakeem Richmond hit a shot to win the NIT for ECU, which is more than Jimmy ever won for us. He also had more 3s as a freshman than your hero. Baron wouldn't even put Jimmy in that position against Duke. He never won a single game in 4 years with a last second shot. Jimmy hit a last second fade awa...

NJ03

I see URI -4.5 today

NJ03

As much as I liked Jimmy's game, it does not measure up to retiring numbers. I agree with this. Personally I'm not a big fan of retiring college numbers in the first place. I feel most of the time it's just a ploy or scheme created by the school to maintain a link with a big name player. Texas reti...

NJ03

Senior year averaged 18 ppg. Shot 48% from the floor and over 90% from the free throw line. Sure, he wasn't a great defender but pure shooters seldom are great defenders. JJ Reddick and Stephen Curry are both criticized for their struggles in man to man defense too. Sometimes that's the price you pa...

NJ03

Jimmy Baron is the all time URI leader and A10 leader in 3 pointers. Anyone who thinks he's not among some the best who's ever played here is biased because of the name.

NJ03

If we don't get him, oh well, it happens. We are not going to land every St. Ant's recruit

But if he goes to PC, now that would be a slap across the face.

NJ03

Just ordered.

NJ03

Great way to head into conference play. Bring on the Bilks.

NJ03 · Re: Game #15: LSU - Saturday Jan 4 @ 5:30pm ET Hurley 2-0 against the SEC

Hurley 2-0 against the SEC

NJ03

Real happy for the kids. Great and well deserved win. Go Rhody!

NJ03

Gonna be tough to continue to shoot over 50% from the floor and behind the arc. Need to keep up the tough interior defense and close this one out. C'mon Rams!

NJ03

Great half! EC is awesome. LSU defense at times looked like a Baron defense circa 2010-2011

NJ03

My site has LSU -14.5

Unfortunately like the Tigers here. Too much offense for us. Not enough depth for Rhody

LSU 78
Rhody 60

Reynolds failed to mention Billy looking Hurley in the eye and telling him, "I'm all in!". He also failed to mention, Billy bailed on the program after the spring signing period, leaving Hurley shorthanded all season. I'll give Billy a pass on this one. Was def an awkward and unusual situ...

NJ03

Here's the main difference. Look at the recruits Baron brought in his first few years 02: Bam Harmon Jon Clark 03: JR Moore 04: Will Daniels Jon Lucky Parfait Bitee So Barons first two years on the full time recruiting trail were a complete joke. He started gaining a little momentum with Daniels and...
