NIT????

Do any of us think we have a chance of stealing an NIT bid? Does our win over Rutgers last year carry any weight? Will all mids be marginalized with the new selection criteria?

Re: Next Year's Team

I didn't consider Carlos leaving but this is a new landscape, anything is possible. Led league in assists by a mile and regular entry on the all defensive team. I think Carlos stays. He has a great relationship with Speedy and he knows Speedy will make him the best player he can be. If he leaves th...

Re: Next Year's Team

Don't sleep on our two committed freshmen; PF Joshua Decady, who at 6-8 looks to be an impaful player and the 6-6 SF Amir Williams. Both of these guys were recruited aggressively and are ranked pretty high. Looks like a log jam of 6-3 guards in Farmer, Parnell and Robinson...hopefully one emerges as...

Re: CAAT Tuesday, March 12 - Championship Game

We need to improve our rebounding...seems we're outrebounding by every team we play...Speedy needs to construct a roster with some depth and more toughness, a team that can WIN the damned CAA championship...right now we're short on the right pieces EVERYWHERE. We hopefully return Carlos, Plotnikov a...

Re: CAAT Tuesday, March 12 - Championship Game

We're in about the same boat...we will need to completely re-tool our team with the departures of Thomas, Washington, Fritz and the expected departure of Dubar...like to see a bit of a change from Guard U as we've seen where that has gotten us over the past three years.

Re: CAAT Monday, March 11 - Semifinals

Norhing much to add that hasn't been already said but extremely disappointed in the team's and coachs' performance tonight and against the worst possible oppoent.

Only hope is that they are seething and will use it as motivation going forward.

Re: CAAT Monday, March 11 - Semifinals

ESPN has us as 5.5 point favs and gives us a 75.3% chance of winning.
I like our chances. We are playing much better defense now than we were against them previously and they have to be a little tired after two games and two overtimes in two days.

Re: CAAT Sunday, March 10 - Quarterfinals

Congrats on a great team win...when you key on Thomas it opens things up for Carlos and Dubar and they took full advantage. Now on to SB...huge game for PRIDE...hopefully they have no legs. I think this one will be close early with us pulling away. I think SB only beat Drexel due to Williams' injury...

Re: Pre-CAAT Discussion

Wags, good article...I would not mind meeting Charleston in the final. There's something to be said for the revenge factor and it's REALLY tough to best a team three times.
I think on a neutral court we would stand a better chance as well.

Word is one or two of the networks covering college baskball wanted to give Caitlin Clark NIL money to stay in school another year rather than go to the WNBA....she turned them down...amazing what's going on!

Pol if you don't win in February there AIN'T NO MARCH.
And, we did just fine with Thomas' performanve Thursday.
They keyed on him and we went elsewhere with success.
Let's see what Charleton does.

Re: MBB Game 30 @UNCW, Feb. 29 (Thu), 7 PM

I'm not worried about Thomas at all. UNCW did everything they could to stop him which opened things up for Dubar and Carlos. They picked their poison, betted that stopping Thomas would win the game and they lost! Great gut check win when it really mattered! All the early doomsayers can eat their wor...
