Mamu doing nothing.

Seton Halls guard play is suspect. They're slow and not strong with the ball. Its why us and Oregon had so much success against them.

Also, disrespectful of this guy to say Mamu was the best player by a MILE in our game against them.

What a shame PC and URI could not keep their game. Ed Cooley, Bob Driscoll, Thorr Bjorn and David Cox collectively couldn't make if work. Reasons arise, it was a shame. Other schools made their rivalry games work. Two Schools in the State of Rhode Island couldn't. Sad.

Saturday action in the A-10:

Coppin State at GW, 2 PM. On ESPN+.

Mt. St. Mary's at VCU, 2PM. On ESPN+.

SMU at Dayton, 2 PM. On ESPN+.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff at Saint Louis, 8 PM. On ESPN+.


Other:

Fairly Ridiculous at PC, 4:30 PM. No national television which is disappointing since the nation is holding its breathe for this one.

#1 Gonzaga versus #2 Baylor in Indianapolis, 1 PM. On CBS.


20 games have been either postponed/cancelled due to Covid.

Seton Hall's guard play will be VASTLY improved when Aiken returns from his ankle injury.

Yeah there is no “collective” here. Ed Cooley did not want to play the game. Period. URI offered up any and all possibilities to make the game work. Neutral site or otherwise.

Ed Cooley is a pussy. Bob Driscoll is a pussy. End of story.

The Friars ducked their biggest rival. From the looks of things in this Covid era, they are the only school to have cancelled a rivalry game.

This is on PC. They are pussies. Period.

Bill Koch, Kevin McNamara, local TV Sportscasters, Thorr, Cox and others all could have asked questions and spoken up. They chose not to. Just leads to lots of speculation.
I know what happened but even posters here want me to provide proof.
By not speaking up and asking questions we let Cooley have his way standing behind his stupid “doing what’s best for PC”.
It was a stupid, selfish decision by Cooley - period. And as usual nobody stands up to his selfish BS.

Cox and Thorr had no choice but to stay silent on it. They pushed us into a corner with the “Covid” excuse.

Look at the Covid thread on the board. It’s too divisive a topic and you’d get crucified if you tried to say they were lying about it.

Does Dayton have a really shallow lineup or what? I know they lost Cohill for the year (major piece), but they roll with an 8 man rotation which includes a walk on. Doesn’t seem sustainable.

They need to get Scoochie back! Too bad he has no more eligibility after playing there for six years. 😀
It certainly seemed like he was there for six years.

I can't believe Dayton didn't press them with 7 seconds left. Let SMU basically walk up and score. Bad call there.

Technically SMU #56 and Dayton #58 in the KenPom rankings, so not a bad loss by definition, but crushing for sure. Crutcher not looking like a first-team player in that game.

Crutcher sucked. Nothing on offense an the guy he was covering goes for 19 points. Dayton's offense struggled to create good shots.

Saint Louis in a cakewalk over Arkansas- Pine Bluff, 107-54. The Billikens put up 65 points in the first half alone.

BTW, three A-10 teams have yet to play a game - UMass, Fordham and the Bonnies.

Maybe Fordham never plays this year? That’s the hope.

One game in a-10 today, La Salle at Army, 4 PM. On ESPN+.

In OOC games:

Miss Valley at Western Kentucky, 3 PM. On ESPN+.

Seton Hall at Penn State, 8 PM. On BTN.


Anothere noteworthy item in Saturday action was Iona's 82-74 win at Hofstra, a team picked to win the CAA. Iona is still without two players; a point guard and their 7'1" freshman center. Always interesting to watch a Pitino coached team.

I'm sure he's not...but he was on the hot seat a few years ago, and these days it doesn't take long (a subpar season or two) to have an AD make a change (or a change in AD that wants his own guy).
