Having been a history major, I might have this wrong but at 2-8 with 4 games to play, it would seem the absolute best we can do in the regular season is 6-8 but pretty sure no one at this point expects we'll win out. I sure don't. As for my pre-season 4-6 win season prediction, one more loss and . . . . . video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-norton-ext_onb&hsimp=yhs-ext_onb&hspart=norton&p=i%27m+out+seinfeld+gif#id=1&vid=b2d5af0968292e215545a8b4235b5fcc&action=clickSo, that'd be 7 losing seasons in a row - last winning season was '13-'14. We'd be excused for getting our basketball program confused with our hockey program. After a 3-29 season, we obviously couldn't realistically get any worse and with a 14 game schedule, that assures we won't have as many losses. I don't get a vote until I win the Powerball and donate $100 million but regardless of his length of contract, if Brett doesn't pull this out of its nosedive by next year, he should be gone. Yeah, I know, Carmody left the cupboard bare. Yada, yada, yada [since I'm on the Seinfeld theme].

When was the schedule cut two games to 14 ? Two BU games have been cancelled.

Will HC excel at basketball or football ever again? Just asking for a friend.

I don't know how many years the contract is for but I think four or five is common. Gates and Johnson are mainstays in their first year. If you recruit two strong contributors per year, after a four year cycle you have an eight deep rotation you recruited and developed and you own the results. If you recruit eight solid contributors in four years but lose three or four to the portal you own that, too. So far BN has not lost anyone he recruited.
Plus any money saved by not paying multiple coaches at the same time can be vey helpful to all the other teams at HC. Although it's impossible to show exact cause and effect, perhaps the resources available by not paying two basketball head coach salaries for one year eventually equals 6-7 additional victories in other HC sports.

Not ready to play a few minutes on a 2-7 team? Using your theory, wouldn't it be best to put a player in until he makes his first blunder, if he does so, and then sit him down and say " now you see why I haven't put you in until now?" Certainly a possibility but I think it's a stretch. Whaddaya think now?

Nelson was right. Louth not ready. (trying to comment synchronous to when you posted this)...at this point in the game, he had played about 2 minutes. Looked completely gassed.

another good game from RJ, martindale also. Humphrey is a good scorer and very talented, just seems he needs to tone down the aggression on defense. Well, Martindale, offensively at least. Fell asleep on two possessions in a row when the game was still within reach. Should have been there to help out, wasn't. One time, turned his back completely on the play. Was then, as Milan Brown would say, "out of there with enthusiasm"; hopefully handled by Coach Nelson in a positive teaching manner (but absolutely necessary to yank him). As Al McGuire once said "best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores". Judson won't be doing that much longer.

Three more years after this one at a minimum. Come back and instigate then. So Nelson gets a 5 yrs or more pass? Yeah - ok. No. He got a 5 year contract...and that is hardly a pass. This post: "This team and this coach will be fortunate to win another game. How long will this be tolerated?" This post is virtually the same post that pops up at least once a year...every year. That says a lot about our program and about those who post such doom and gloom. I guess when it comes to such posts, I need to ask, "How long will this be tolerated?"

I think HC is getting better each time out. Unfortunately, we play the best teams in the league over and over...However, this will prove to be a blessing next season I hope...RJ is a very good find, he will get better each year ahead...I think Martindale will become a very solid player and scorer..Bo and Bubba look very solid....We have to remember how young this group is, and look to the future with this group.. Colgate is by far the best team in the PL..they do everything well, shoot it, defend, rebound, and handle the ball well...For 2 games in 2 days we stayed with them for the most part..... Playing 8 or so non-leaguers would have benefitted this group, as noted on the telly.

They're not cancelled; they just haven't been rescheduled yet. There is a weekend at the end of the season for makeups that was built in. There may be other options as well.

I guess when it comes to such posts, I need to ask, "How long will this be tolerated?" Perhaps someone connected with one of our ex-players from last year (none of the individuals themselves, don't get me wrong). By the way, how do you block (or unblock) someone's posts? I used to know how but can't seem to find the place to do it. Appreciate anyone's assistance.

did I hear Mike R is out with an eye injury? Thigh injury? What was the general consensus on what was said: Eye, Thigh or something else? I FF'd a couple of times as I was watching it later, so I missed the statement completely.

We'll play them on the median strip of the Turnpike to meet Covid restrictions if we have to. If they can't play by the end of February, then there's your 9th and 10th place teams (BU & Loyola MD, most likely) and we're in!

No one's schedule has the makeup games on it, since the PL hasn't announced them yet. But they will likely try to make up those games since they will probably be important for seeding purposes.

Mo Cassara said he was having an eye issue. At least we now know why he is not in uniform.

Some games are going to be schedule for Tuesday/Wednesday nights. PL should have played some of those in January while school was out.
