Is this the beginning of the end for those fans that merely buy season tickets and make the most modest of donations to the program? Not being critical of you folks doing all that you can to keep the program competitive; my anger is with the behemoths that created this new world. One of the coolest things for me in being a fan is the connection I've experienced over the years in getting to know the players (and their parents) a little through both events and informal conversations. Not sure I want to sell an organ just to maintain a connection going forward. Again, to you guys putting it together, no offense intended. Just seems like sweat equity isn't going to mean much anymore.

Two extra days of rest sure didn't help the top 4 seeds in the A-10 tournament - Richmond, Loyola, Dayton and UMass are all gonzo. res's Bonnies with a gutsy performance against the Ramblers.

It's possible, but it could be a bunch of things. Probably shouldn't speculate at this point. At any rate, we are now looking at 2 open slots on 3/14/24. Somebody find 2 plug in and play guys with 2 years eligibility, preferably in the 6-8 - 6-11 range (that can play inside and out, play solid man D, help with rim protection, and other skills). That should be easy, shouldn't it? Not sure how many of those boxes they check but two sophomores from W&M have entered the portal since Dane Fischer got fired. One is 6’10”, Williams, and the other is 6’7”, Karasinski. I would imagine they are very good academically to be at William and Mary. They both seem to have had quite a few offers coming out of HS. Didn't check how they did in Williamsburg. Wonder if Fischer would do CDP a solid and steer one of these guys north.

The PL may stink, but college basketball as a whole doesn't smell all that great to me these days.

Mr. Ed was no Arnold the Pig. I liked Arnold more than most of the characters on that show; they really annoyed me.

And wasn't Eddie Jenkins on one of the Dolphins' Super Bowl teams?

So now it seems safe to say there is at least (assuming no non senior movements out) 1 slot remaining for 2024-25. Does anyone know if perhaps there are any D2-D3 big guy prospects that might be candidates to move up (like the Middlebury kid that Sacred Heart got this past year; he was pretty good)?

Now that is interesting. Wonder why he wasn't a part of Senior Day

As down as the PL is, I found both games yesterday to be entertaining at least. For Lehigh's sake, hopefully Parolin's knee injury won't keep him out the game Wednesday.

Just dawned on me that Sam Thomson looks a little like Greg Marmalard from Animal House.

I read it, and I've filed it in my Every Dog has His Day folder.
I respect their current program. Still think their announcers are buffoons.

I think in time Green (and maybe Richard) could be slasher types, but I wonder if their bodies will be ready next year for the transition to college.
For me I think the x factor for next year (amongst the returnees) is Ryan; I think he might have the highest ceiling for improvement.....if he can improve his body. It would be nice to have a reliable big (paired with CK) that can step outside and score. Singleton is another kid who I could see taking a nice step up.
Course, we have to wait to see what happens with possible comings and goings over the next few months.

That 39-2 score during the beginning of the game is just unbelievable. Even a poor D-3 team is going to find a way to score more than 2 points before the D-1 team gets to 39.

Our shooters starting to shoot. Are you watching what I am watching. You are correct in that they are shooting but they aren’t finding the net. On the other hand, our D is awful. You are sounding like John McKay talking about his Tampa Bay Bucs

If they dont hit a couple of shots right out of the box it could get ugly.

In both games HC shot 6-22 on threes...while Colgate was 12-23 out there, and 8-19 at the Hart.
FWIW, both of Colgate's 2 league losses came in front of the Cotterell Crazies.

Let's hope Colgate is as awake as their message board (last hoops post 2/29). Would also be nice if the Raidahs can have a bit of an off night shooting the ball.

8 assists and 0 turnovers sounds good to me!
