News says 45 deaths in Rhode Island in the last 10 days. Isn’t Omacron supposed to be kinder and gentler? Hospitalizations down week over week. But are they vaxxed or not? I mean if they didn't get the vaxx? Not sure, they didn’t say. I know there have been breakthrough cases, but no one seems to b...

Over two years, 3000 people have died with/due/from Covid. Each year Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Rhode Island. Between 1995 and 2015, the number of cancer deaths, was 2,330 each year on average. Yeah, each year almost as many people die from cancer as have died from Covid in two ...

The good news is URI has about as good a chance as any A10 team of winning the A10. St Bonaventure was a Top 20 team preseason but NET of only 113 and Richmond has disappointed. Davidson was picked 6th and URI can beat them. We can be the Auto bid and could also win the A10 Conference. Then Cox gets...

ramster

And it amazes me how people on the board can say the A10 is a 3 to 4 bid conference before the first OOC game is even played as happened preseason and summer. Reality is the current NET after A19 OOC games complete. It’s not pretty. Worst overall NET I’ve seen heading into conference play for A10 te...

Maryland hosts Lehigh (1-9) at 8:30 tonight BTN

Lehigh NET 345 and ranked 334 in turnovers per game. Should be a game for Fatts to increase his steals per game stat.

Lehigh replaces Loyola Maryland who dropped for Covid

1st game for Maryland in 16 days.

FYI - In case there you don't get any bites, I believe they are doing the cheap student section tickets for this game. So they are only about 12 bucks.

Completely agree, that is a head scratcher very surprised.
Kind of bings back memories of last season's game with a team 30 miles away.
When ‘couldn’t find’ means ‘didn’t want to find’

I find it very puzzling that URI and Brown could not find a suitable replacement date considering the schools are only 30 miles apart and the manner in which the Ivy plays their leagues games (confined to weekends). For one example, URI plays a game on Feb. 12 and next on Feb. 19. Brown plays on Fe...

I'm not saying they will say it is their goal, they actually do think they will play NBA and/or Professionally overseas. I actually thought the same thing myself in high school but I was way off.

Hate to break this romantic view but 95% of D1 players dream of playing professionally, and NBA being top of that list. Not many are pining for conference championships. They want to make a lot of money playing basketball. Full stop. The G League is a legitimate and accessible means to an end. Real...

New York City - highly vaccinated………..

NYC Covid hospitalizations increasing steadily and dramatically since Thanksgiving.

Today at press conference “we were surprised by Omicron”.

Not near enough testing capacity available.

ramster

I wonder how much it would cost for a no fans contest. Refs, some support staff, radio and tv, and whatever else. I think a road game would include one overnight stay at a hotel. This is not like high school where they let you out of last class for a long bus ride. A lot still rides on the outcome ...

I agree. If no fans then cancel.

Exactly. I mentioned earlier I’m surprised we went to cancellations before going to no fans in attendance.

I’d bet no fans in attendance is on the table.

It's a blessing and a curse that he's on GSW. Blessing is, obviously, that he gets to watch and learn from the greatest point guard currently in the game.
