  1. Hargrove vs. Lieb is going to be interesting ......
  2. So it doesn't matter who wins today between ODU and Georgetown as the ESPN site says that the four winners (including SLu and Penn State) will all gather "in a pod" to play the next round at State College, PA.
  3. Dayton loses to Northwestern in Chicago. Over on A10 Talk, they have an article that lists the Top 50 games in the A10 this year: Top 50 Most Important A10 MBB Non-Conference Games 2023 | A10 Talk Davidson against Maryland was #3 on that list; Dayton at Northwestern was #9. Duquesne vs. Charleston was #31. Our games include Drake (#22); NC State (#27) and Utah State (#44). #1 game is Mason at Tennessee followed by La Salle at Duke.
  4. What time does Old Dominion play Georgetown today?
  5. Isn't what we are looking for is someone, anyone to develop down low? Magassa. van Bussel. Zhang. I'd rather throw them straight into the fire and get the on-the-job training for future team use and overall development.
  6. 24 of 37 at the line is just not good.
  7. Higmark and Warmann (the Scotts) said Hughes not on bench. Just repeating bad info.
  8. Hughes not even on bench. No need to risk further injury.
  9. Highmark speculating Ford sitting Hughes due to injury on Monday.
  10. Needing Hughes and Hargrove wasn't my point. The point was seeing them expand upon the great starts they displayed Monday.
  11. Hughes and Hargrove MIA in that first half.
  12. Florida Atlantic pulling away from the 'Blers. 71 to 55 at the under 4 second half.
  13. No. DII at best. Layups and free throws still an issue.
  14. Loyola down 43 to 30 at half against Florida Atlantic.
  15. If only that Jimerson could shoot.
  16. I'd be extremely happy and proud of that goal.
  17. @Lord Elrond: thanks but what overseas soccer leagues do is of no nevermind to me. You want to have continued success while raising the bar and moving onward and upward. We continually stop at the next game, only twice going past that. I am guessing this is good (good enough I don't know); in comparison if the men's basketball team was in the NCAAs in five t=straight years, we'd be jumping for joy and Ford's statue would replace the Billiken on the steps of Chaifetz. If chalk rules supreme, we beat Indiana and then face Georgetown. Status quo?
  18. Some time ago, I said I expected our ladies to win the A10 (as usual) and get their NCAA bid (as usual). So far, mission accomplished. The unfortunate part is that is the status quo. In 2022, we lost then to Memphis. In 2021, we beat Ol' Miss then lost to Rutgers. In 202, we lost to Washington. In 2019, we lost to Notre Dame. In 2018, we lost to Kansas. In 2006, we lost to Illinois. In 2005, we beat Standford and lost to Santa Clara. So over the last 25 years, we are a collective 2 and 7 in the NCAA tournament. Every one of those teams, sans Santa Clara, were teams from the proverbial Power 6 conferences. Now here comes Indiana. Can we bust through the proverbial glass ceiling and make a run? In one poll, Penn State is #4; Georgetown is #8, and we are #15. Indiana is #38 in that poll. Penn State plays Central Connecticut State and Georgetown plays Old Dominion. We need to change the narrative and take the next step. But it won't be easy.
  19. The Dutchman with hands of stone right now.
