Might be time to treat this thing like Carthage, slaughter everyone involved, burn Conte to the ground and salt the earth above it. Build a hockey only arena on the Seminary.


Ummmm, we did win the second half. So not all is lost.

For team bonding how about they all get haircuts. :ace

This season isn’t about wins and losses. This season is trying to guess what the hell we have in Grant. His ability to get these players to play defense is nothing short of miraculous. That doesn’t suddenly mean they can do basketball. It just means that Grant can teach the teachable part of the game. For a program that has been a smoldering dumpster fire, this is a step in the right direction after a decade of taking them in the wrong.

This team won’t score much in the half-court. It will rely almost exclusively on points off of D and rebounds. URI’s D was excellent and the refs swallowing whistles was so noticeable on the Rhodie D that the A10 announcers astonished “no foul called though plenty of contact”. Langfords combined for only 10 points more than me. And yet, they were in the game by holding URI to 2 baskets in the second half.

This team isn’t going anywhere. But it at least is showing glimpses of where the program can go if the roster improves. Lots of ifs… but it is better than anything else we’ve tasted since Handsome Al was shown the door.

I'm here. BC shot 25% from the field and only lost by 8. They're a bad offensive team, but they're not going to shoot 25% every night. The D/Rebounding was great.

I could really care less on the wins/losses. Last night was fairly encouraging on the long-term prospects of this re-build.

Can this team get into the NIT at least with a 16-15 record? It's not great, but it'd be something to build on and Grant could prob sell that to recruits and transfers.

I'd prefer to be wrong, but this feels more like the 6-21 year of 1998-99.

Well, I guess it'll be very difficult for this team to go .500 in conference play. 6 wins though. Yikes.

There’s no path to this team going 16-15. They’re going to really struggle to score the ball most nights
