Looking forward to the ballwashing he’ll do after the game.
“Providence is great, AMP is one of best places to play in America, city is great blah blah blah.”
Every home game for them is treated as the greatest event in the country, getting very annoying.
You’d think they’re playing at The Colosseum in Rome like The Amp is talked about.

Their fans care. Their in-game experience (WiFi, replays, concessions, beer, target audience of sports fans and not just "families") isn't even in the same ballpark, area code, state, or even country as what we offer at the Ryan Center.
They invested in their basketball infrastructure, built a program and continued to invest. Then they lost their legendary coach and they continued to invest. So here they are.
That could've been URI. So now we're starting all over again. Dave Cox set us back a decade. It seems like we learned our lesson, now we have to be patient.
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.

On top of that is Coastal Carolina (6-17) playing in the Sun Belt Conference. Brayon Freeman plays for them but doesn't play much at all.

He hasn't played in a game in a month, so he's seemingly either hurt or bouncing from this team as well. He's still listed on the CCU roster, but media coverage of that team is minimal, so I'm not sure what it is.NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑4 months agoYuck...only thing worse than being on a sucky team is being on a sucky team and getting minimal run

I didn’t expect that, Jersey, because the game is at Richmond.
Can UMass hang on ? We will see.

No surprise the Bonnies beat Fordham.

Loyola hangs on to beat St. Joes 64-59.
They have now won 5 in a row, and 12 of their last 14 games.

Re: Games of Interest - 2023-2024 MBB
The only reason some have them in is by default, non had them in as an at large.
Since they were first in the A10, some bracketologists automatically put Richmond in as the AQ for the conference.

Yeah, I think this is a universally used approach where every 1st place team is the default AQ then they fill in the at-larges from there. If Richmond falls behind Dayton in the A10 standings over the next week or two, we'll see brackets only have 1 A10 team in.

That loss didn't help their cause, also it didn't benefit us.
We aren't going to catch the top 4 (Dayton, Richmond, Loyola, VCU), so I want the next best possible seeding in the A10T.
I am hoping we can avoid the PIG.

Re: Games of Interest - 2023-2024 MBB
I’m high on Umass. And I think how we have played them over 80 minutes is encouraging. They have talent, couple strong FR and play hard. Matt Cross gets them double digit extra possessions every game thru pure will and grit. An easy player to like. We saw what he did at the end of our game. He does that every game. I’m impressed by the job Martin has done there. Eye test last night said they had more talent and depth than Richmond. Bullied them from start to finish pretty much.

Maybe they can shake it, as being just an off night for them, and move on.
Will be interesting if both Cross and Cohen return to UMass for their final season of eligibility.
They do have plenty of young talent and they have over-recruited by several players for next season, of course depending on what happens to the 2 C's up-front.

Maybe they can shake it, as being just an off night for them, and move on.
Will be interesting if both Cross and Cohen return to UMass for their final season of eligibility.
They do have plenty of young talent and they have over-recruited by several players for next season, of course depending on what happens to the 2 C's up-front.

Martin/Miller Rhode Island / Massachusetts battling for top of A10 would be a dream scenario IMO.

Re: Games of Interest - 2023-2024 MBB
Ramster, from before the season started - like many others here - I felt it important that we finish in the top 10 of the conference. I also felt we improved the roster to be able to do that.ramster wrote: ↑4 months ago Friday A10 Games:

UMass and UConn are not acronyms of anything so capitalizing all the letters makes no sense.
URI - UMass - UConn
