Our 30-point blowout loss against St. Joe's and our two losses against Davidson are why we played Duke in 2018.. We were a 4-6 seed for most of the year. We could have avoided playing a 1-2 seed in the second round, but we lost those games, and the rest is history.RF1 wrote: ↑2 months ago
Even further back, Duke eliminated URI in close games in both 1978 and 1988 that were each decided by just one point. 0-3 versus them all time in the NCAA.

Re: 2024 NCAA/NIT Post Season Tournaments - All Things
The A10 used to be better. I think we all know that. But a few people here said that the ONLY chance for a bid is the automatic bid, as in no A10 team would have a shot at an at-large. So it was pretty cool to remind people that the A10 really isn't as bad as people think, and starting 2-0 can shut some of the haters up. I don't think it's a great conference, but I do think it's still better than the 1 bid conferences, and that's what some people were saying we were.theblueram wrote: ↑2 months agoGlad I was the first. Hell, the nbe would have had 4 teams in if Creighton, Uconn or Marquette didn't win the tourney.Rhody15 wrote: ↑2 months agoHahahahha oh my god dude.theblueram wrote: ↑2 months ago
To be clear, the majority refer to at large bids. The A10 has been a 1 bid at large conference for awhile. The A10 is probably the top bid stealer in the NCAA.
NOBODY has ever said “1 bid at large conference” on this board. Ever. You’re the first just now.
You’re absolutely moving the goalposts for whatever reason.
One bid league = one team in the tournament. That’s what has been said and posted on this board for a while.
I always thought that was an overreaction, as many here have as well.

Some good old Yankee Conference battles with UConn back then, Red. Good times.Rhode_Island_Red wrote: ↑2 months agoIn addition to Duke, those of us of a certain age remember when we and the Storrs Leg-humpers were arch enemies.
A lot of good New England college hoops during that period: Rhody, UConn, PC, Holy Cross, BC, UMass, the Ivy’s etc.
Fun rivalries with intense games. Back yard brawls.
Anyone remember the player that played for UConn that wore glasses like one of the Hanson brothers from the movie Slap Shot? Can’t remember his name for the life of me.

Oakland up seven with 8:55 left. Coach Cal doing his best to crap down his leg early in the tournament again, as Kentucky just looks mystified by the 1-3-1.

If Kentucky loses to Oakland SEC Commish Skankey Sankey will be sure to use his leverage to cut more non-power programs from the NCAAT.
Can’t lose out on those tourney credit dollars to the small fry programs.

This is a team from Tom Izzo's state that he wants kept out of the tournament so more power conferences teams get bids. Shame on him. These types of teams MAKE the NCAA tournament what it is.

Re: 2024 NCAA/NIT Post Season Tournaments - All Things
What is Kentucky’s basketball program budget compared to Oakland’s ?
Kentucky (including their NIL Collective) can't be happy with their return on investment.
Expensive coach, expensive players, all the infrastructure one could ask for resulting in a first round NCAAT loss to Oakland ?
Couldn’t dream up a better script for that Power 2 Blue Blood program.
Such a great tournament.

Dee Rowe was UConn’s coach back then (early/mid 70’s).
I met him at basketball camp a few times back in the early 70’s along with Claude English, Gerry Alaimo (Brown U).
Claude could jump through the roof even then.
Met others too but I can’t remember. Ooph

Corny played for Dom Perno. He was good and was the main reason URI lost the ECAC New England championship in 1979. I was there at the PCC.

Funny you use Hanson brothers because just before Corny Thompson played at UConn, Tony Hanson led UConn for 3 straight years and was New England Player of the Year.

Probably why I associated the Hanson brothers with him. Funny how the mind works and associates things as time passes.
This is a great place to reminisce.

As we sink further and further away, i kick myself more and more. The wife and I were so close to driving there last minute to catch that game and for some reason I didn't pull the trigger. As an older guy (seems like there is a lot of us) that might have helped personally offset some of the sting of 98. Sometimes I'll watch the high lights of that game on youtube and make myself feel better for a bitPeteRI wrote: ↑2 months ago"Oh Fatts! Don't do him like that!" That's was Reggie Miller on the call.

Re: 2024 NCAA/NIT Post Season Tournaments - All Things
In 1964 we beat UCONN by 1 point at Keaney and lost by 1 point at Storrs. We enede up tied. The AD;s met at Voluntown CT and flipped a coin. URI won the toss and Keaney was split down the middle half URI fans and half UCONN. RI state police were stationed on both sides. Unfortunately UCONN and with Toby KImball prevailed and went on all the way to the finals of the NCAA regionals.
Fast forward to 1966 when the same thing happened and this time UCONN won the toss and their fieldhouse was the one split down the middle with Connecticut state police patrolling the sidelines. This time lead by Steve Chubin URI prevailed. We went on to the NCAA's and lost to Davidson.I was fortunate to be able to attend both games. Several of my fraternity brothers were members of the team, That same year we beat the Jimmy Walker lead PC at PC when they were No. 2 in the country.

Samford got absolutely hosed on this late foul call which was 100% a clean block. Could have cost them the game. Kansas was up 1 with 14.7 seconds left at the time:
