Bonnies will still be tired - coming off a game as well. Plus UMass won't roll over, at least I don't think.
We need Bonnies to win to solidify their top 100 status for us, and not for nothing, it's St Bonaventure. If we can't beat them in a must win situation for our tournament lives we never deserved to be in the dance in the first place.
Jim Baron's teams always got to this point and pissed down their leg. Want to prove we're different? Go and fucking win it.
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.
Coach Baron is at the tournament watching his Bonnie's.....something about him being there with rhody trying to get rid of some tournament demons is making me very nervous about tomorrow

Hopefully we have someone sitting near him wearing a string of garlic.

So St. Bonaventure it is after they beat UMass 73-60. Has Derrek Kellogg coached his last game at UMass? They seem to have a lot of young talent there and he's never seemed to be a good coach outside of recruitment.
Take down the Robert Carothers banner and fix the concession stand lines

Good. The best way to exorcise demons is with an exorcism. Can't do that if they're not in the building.

Hahahaaaaa
Can we get a string of garlic to NYG208 or Luke?
;p
If the Bonnies brought him in to help them defeat URI then we have underestimated the Bonnies because nobody has defeated the URI basketball program quite like Jim Baron. That would be a stroke of genius. He's in the top 5.
Good maybe an extra focus & fire will be on display vs Bonnies... Will help focus team/staff on game at hand, instead of possible trap of looking ahead.
Poor Fordham I was ready to congratulate them - not sure the last time they made the A10 quarters, if ever - and I go to check the final to see they're getting smashed in OT. What happened? They were up by like 5 with under a minute I thought?

They were up by 7
GMU tied it in regulation with a layup at the buzzer. They took command in the OT

Last they made the quarterfinals was in 2007 where we beat them.
Derek Wittenberg dayzzz.
Bryant Dunston and Marcus Stout.
Then we beat Xavier after that... which has only happened like twice
Fordham in a brutal loss to George Mason in OT, 82-71. The Metro Rams completely collapsed in the OT after having blown a 6 point lead with 31 seconds left in regulation. Other than La Salle, all the higher seeds have won in the 5 tournament games played so far.
GW has 13 points in the first half?! They were a dark horse in this tournament for some. I can't imagine being a GW fan - in general, but especially now.

Speaking of awful, how about these crowds
in Pittsburgh?
Players, coaches, cheerleaders and media, outnumber
the fans in the stands.
Not a great look, especially compared to just about
every other tournament being held.
That's because we have a huge arena and shitty teams playing in the early rounds.
I've heard that there will be big crowds this weekend though.
Mostly Dayton and VCU fans, with a fair number of Bonnie fans tomorrow.
reef, Ford has a Kellogg type rep....recruits like hell but not a good game coach and has had player issues.....they will be better sure but how much better?
He did win an NIT while at Umass though.

Who are you guys rooting for here in the Davidson v Dayton game? I'd like Davidson to win, if we beat the Bonnies and Davidson that should be enough for an at-large, and beating Davidson is easier than beating Dayton
At this point, if Dayton comes back to win they will expend so much energy doing so it will be good for us. And if Davidson wins, then its all-in to win this thing, which I'm feeling is more and more the case regardless.
