April fools day came early, I guess.

[section(105)]

Yes, saw that, interesting. Maybe that kinda thing was what Hurley Sr. described as the “sleeping giant…..”So maybe we are an attractive destination for a higher level coach?

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

was this wriyten by the same person who compared Cox to Keaney ?

I’m guessing he didn’t visit this year (if at all). The only way we hit 10 is if wanting the coach fired is the number 1 criteria.

I don't know how people still continue to think they compared Cox to Keaney as a basketball coach.

The job of social media is to present the team/coach in a positive light.

The post only stated Cox had more wins in his first 100 games as coach (a fact), and Keaney just so happened to be second on that list (also a fact).

If it was any other coach in second, that coach would have been included in the graphic, and not Keaney.

Worth reading the article (or at least skimming it) before calling the author an idiot. It was actually a unique approach to comparing locations/programs

He had a well laid out methodology. You don’t have to agree with it, but that was his choice. He’s not power ranking teams by their results this year, there’s already a million of those lists.

I actually think the author in a roundabout way points out something we've seen before when we've been good. Kingston is a GREAT place for college basketball. Fantastic arena, reasonable tickets, free parking, the only game in town, not too far off the beaten path (despite what RI drivers might think). Despite our typical Rhode Island pessimism there is a lot going for us and when we have the right coach we tend to take off like a rocket. Tenth is ambitious, but there's a lot of good things going for us

Yeah I like/understand the context of the list, and tend to agree.

When PC basketball is good - it's not like the only thing going on in Providence is PC basketball. Providence is a city. There's a ton to do. Great restaurants. Concerts. Entertainment. A semi-pro hockey team. I mean PC hockey is a draw as well.

When URI basketball is good, time is calculated in South County between game days.

Same for all the other cities on that list. Durham is the center of the vortex between Duke, UNC, NC State and Wake Forest.

Storrs is a solid #2. I think they got the top 4 right, then lost me when they put LA in there. East Lansing should be higher.

Wow definitely a surprise to come in @ 10 with all those powerhouses
