Some of us try to figure out what's going on with this team based on board chatter. Most of us, I think, watch the team play, and try to figure out what's going on by what we see on the court. But I'm pretty sure none of has any idea what practice is like, and Nelson's expectations ( and distribution of minutes) clearly has come to have a lot to do with what he is seeing (or not) in practice. that's the thing, woogray. none of us know what practice are like... but all of us know what happens in the game. lowder was our best point guard option by a mile. the team was better with him on the court, despite being put in an awkward position and having a short leash. i will always side with what we see on the court and not what we imagine what is happening behind the scenes. the only thing that is not speculation is the performance on the court of the players, the team as a whole, and the win/loss record.

I agree with everything bbc just wrote except for his first sentence. How about this: try to go one day w/o trashing Carmody. If that works, try it for two days, and so on. Maybe you can be cured of this obsession and then people can start paying attention to the rest of what you have to say.

This has likely been brewing since early in the season - helps to explain Nelson's ongoing interest in 2020 recruits, including point or combo guards. Good bye and good luck. If Lowder is transferring, I wish him luck. Worcester Academy's 2020 point guard, Quest Harris, is uncommitted and the 19th rated senior in New England according to NERR. Wonder if he has any interest in accompanying Martindale and Rabinovich to HC.

His mom and dad were Jonny Quest fans?

Wonder if he has any interest in accompanying Martindale and Rabinovich to HC. My impression of Harris vs. New Hampton was that he is very much a shoot-first PG, with modest range. Quick and crafty, but questionable decision-making. And we have no idea about his academics, make-up, etc.

Wonder if he has any interest in accompanying Martindale and Rabinovich to HC. Harris, as you say, is ranked very highly by NERR, but has only offers from Bryant and Iona. Any idea why he hasn't been more widely recruited? Also when a good New England player has no offers from Ivy or Patriot League schools, there is always a question about the AI.

This is why Jared Curry is one of my all-time favorite Crusaders....

I had the same thought...for a minute. Probably not a good idea.

Just when I think the program has hit rock bottom something happens to make things worse. What a disastrous decade this has been for HC basketball, hopefully Nelson is the guy to finally get this program back on track.

Does anyone have the facts that will prove or disprove this rumor that Lowder is leaving?

Does anyone have the facts that will prove or disprove this rumor that Lowder is leaving? I hope that someone does and is able to share them. In any case, I believe we will know soon enough.

With the ESPN tweets and Mr. Wade tweeting about his phone blowing up, I doubt that it is a rumor

Tomorrow’s game will provide a significant clue. The anxiety countdown is underway.

Hoop program is a mess and will remain so until most everyone comes to the realization that basketball in the PL is really no different than volleyball or softball. The fact that we pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to a head coach in our so called "premier" sport is laughable if it wasn't so tragic.
It's a very low D1 league in hoop....the future, such as it is, for HC athletics is our football program. Basketball is a lost cause.

Is it too late for me to change my pre-season predicted wins to 2?

Maybe. But I will bet, even you, that our win total will be a LOT closer to 2 than my original prediction of 11. And that was probably true before Lowder takes a powder.
