Re: mens and Womens BB attendance

The mask mandate during the game is a joke. The people holding the signs don’t care or even look up. There were 4 teen boys in my section in the front row who didn’t put a mask on the entire game. It’s not enforced at all. Also no one ever talks about that attendance could also be affected if the v...

Re: mens and Womens BB attendance

Did Hofstra just not have any events before November 5th? Why are people under the age of 12 allowed in without being vaccinated? What about known antivaxxer JWF being at the game on Saturday? Did he finally get the vaccine (doubt it) or did Hofstra just not check? Not to mention I saw him talking w...

Re: MBB vs. JMU, Saturday, 2/5/22, 2 PM

To add on to the Estrada praise here. I think one of the keys is he doesn’t ever seem to force anything. If it isn’t there on a play he makes the pass to get someone else setup.

Re: CAA Expansion

I'm sure it is viewed by the conferences as a disincentive to leave, but yes it does hurt the student athletes unfortunately, but in the long run surely the schools have weighed that issue against long term improvement in their programs. It's just pure spite though. Disincentives only work if they ...

Re: mens and Womens BB attendance

All the issues with the pandemic definitely effect attendance. Of course the team did have a bit more hype in that 2019-20 year so some of the drop will have to do with that. But I would say the mask requirement and vaccine requirement both are reducing attendance. In addition on the opposite end of...

Re: CAA Expansion

And of course the CAA tournament further north than DC seems to be a forgone conclusion now. Of course I am sure we all would love UBS or the coliseum but even something in Philadelphia would be better and is doable as a day trip. We keep talking about geography relative to this, but the CAA wants ...

Re: MBB @ UNCW, Saturday, 1/29/22, 7 PM

Sigh. This game continued to prove out everything I've said unfortunately: - Crowd was fantastic and moreso a factor than vs Arkansas. - Don't be fooled by the way too close wins. This team doesn't have it. - Cramer continues his regression, and is on track to be one of the biggest letdowns vs his ...

Re: MBB @ Charleston, Thursday, 1/27/22, 7 PM

At the end of the day we have more depth on this team overall then we have ever had in recent history. Unfortunately that means less touches for Ray and really Cooks as well compared to what they were getting in prior years. Hopefully when those double teams to Estrada happens Cooks and Ray just lig...

Does this poll even mean anything? I have never heard it mentioned on any broadcast that I have watched (and not just this year) and its not like its used in determining an at large bid.

Re: 2021-2022 Men's Basketball Player Plus/Minus

Certainly surprising. The frustration with silverio is the number of obviously really bad shots that he takes, and naturally that is the takeaway from his game most of the time. Speedy has done a good job getting this level of play out of him and at least somewhat reducing his bad shot selection. S...

We are somehow -2.5 faves. The bookies do a lot better with the P5 games- I think they're off on this one! I could never bet against the alma mater, but I think there's $ to be made here, were you so inclined. The bookies have pegged us pretty well with the exception of SBU and William & Mary.....

16 teams!?!?!? Can't imagine this ends up well for us. Guess we need to see how everything shakes out but I think a 10-12 team conference was a good sweet spot to give us opportunities every year.

Re: Drexel -Monday 1/17/22 @4

Gutty win for us. Ray and Estrada put this team on their backs in the second half. Great display of mid range shooting from both when the threes wouldn't drop. Questionable call by the refs taking one of our points off the board well after Estrada was credited with a three. Undefeated at home!?? I ...

He has another year of eligibility since last year didn't count for anyone. He could decide to graduate and move on with his life or transfer somewhere else.
