Gritty HC & really old school imo

He was the man!

 

[Silly Donovan]

I want to thank him for coming back for no other reason than giving us at least 2 more shots at him.

Who will bring the bar be cue chicken to the game?

Post season actually

Fox Sports' NIT rival tournament coming in 2025

The 16-team College Basketball Crown tournament will feature schools that failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

God this seems pretty dumb to me.

Would have been this past weekend with teams not in the NCAAT.

Also, think the NCAA likes seeing BE spearheading a postseason tournament?

not sure why the need to call him a douchebag ?
The man is an outstanding coach, his players seem to love him, he constantly achieves at a high level and contrary to many other coaches has been honest about his struggles.
I don’t know if there are 5 programs In the country that would not trade their coaches for him if they could.
And as far as transgressions his pale in comparison to those of other teams.

Apologies he is Jabroni douchebag cry baby coach. Any coach that asks for a fan to get kicked out of the stadium is a douchebag. But he is a great coach.

Two week lay over before new tournament starts. Portal will be 2/3 over before tournament finishes. How many players going to sign up for that?

 

[Demo]

Seton Hall wins the NIT and now I’m hearing the NCAA made a big mistake excluding the Big East teams! Something we all knew from the get go and of course no repercussions on the NCAA.

A very nice article on Donovan Clingan:

UConn's Donovan Clingan and a journey of dominance marked by tragedy

UConn's Donovan Clingan is a larger-than-life 7-foot-2 post menace. His journey is shaped and fueled by tragedy, including the death of his mother six years ago.

Thanks for posting this great story Ron. Gave me another good reason to really root for UCONN this weekend!

Looks like Providence is set for two commitments in Griffiths and Joseph...

[lawmanfan]

I was never able to figure out this season if he's actually terrible or if Neptune managed to horribly misuse both him and Bamba (along with most of the rest of the roster). Bamba I know has a lot of ability that went to waste. Don't know about Ware.

Jenkins ?

So much Jason Kidd in Tyler Kolek.

My opinion , Kolek is a better shooter than Kidd . Plus he’s a lefty , big advantage in BB .

Gritty HC & really old school imo

The Truth was after Mullin , the best St John’s player of the last 50 years .

I just wished in the 85 Semi Final against G’Town that our Coaching staff had recognized the box and 1 on Mullin and gone to Walter and Mark Jackson more .

Maybe might have made for a better game. .
