Re: FIRE COX
I watched Tyrese Martin play last night. He played just OK but his effort/hustle and involvement was more than I ever saw at any game when he played here where he appeared to be regularly coasting. Players play for Hurley- not so much for Cox

Given the schedule, Rhody has no chance of an at large- so this win means very little as far as any kind of resume builder. Sure Bryant may be a conference champ- then they’ll be seeded a 15 or 16 in the dance.
Fwiw Bryant’s NET was 144 last year.
