America East Conference Bryant Bulldogs UMass Lowell River Hawks Maine Black Bears UMBC Retrievers Binghamton Bearcats New Hampshire Wildcats Albany Great Danes NJIT Highlanders Vermont And why would we want to be in this conference ? Hey, no skin off my back. Have fun floundering in the Patriot forever (and no I'm not talking football). |

Because we have so much in common with them?

Ewing was given a reprieve after last season’s disaster.
The axe will fall after this season
Sounds familiar

AU was down 14 in the first half, and 10 (40-30) at intermission, but battled back. Johnny O'Neil led the comeback with eight of his 16 points in the first five minutes of the second half. Jaxon Knotek had three huge baskets down the stretch. Our two freshmen were huge. Jermaine Webb had 9 and 7 in 21 minutes off the bench, and Geoff Sprouse had seven of his 15 points in the last four minutes, including 4 of 4 from the line in the final minute to put the game away. First win over G'town since 1982!

Too cold in Orono for self-awareness to survive, I guess.

I just wandered over to the Hoya Board and thought I was still on the HC Board.

Worcester is so tropical in winter! I'm not comparing basketball programs....Holy Cross has a ton of history. I don't think that the likes of Lehigh, Lafayette, Bucknell, Colgate, American and Loyola are raising the profiles of your programs and helping you attract better recruits though. I really don't care.....I am very happy with the addition of Bryant.....they are a much more upwardly mobile athletic program than Holy Cross and they are in the same footprint. Hopefully AE can snag a few others like Quinnipiac. I'd love Holy Cross to be another one but regrettably it seems like Holy Cross admin and fans are stuck in their ways....and the past. |

Ewing was given a reprieve after last season’s disaster. The axe will fall after this season Sounds familiar It's incredible he survived last season. Ended with 21 consecutive losses. Went 0-19 in the Big East. Wouldn't have been a contender in the Patriot League. Started this year just as bad. |

American beats Georgetown, 74-70, they were down 10 at the half.. We can't sit back and watch the middle of the Patriot League beat a Big East team and we can barely compete against D3 teams. Blow this up and give the players a. Chance to work for a successful season This is just crazy |

HC basketball has gone from bad to worse. The players need a chance to show what they can do & succeed.

If HC loses to Colby-Sawyer……will a decision be made before PL play begins?

Holy Cross has lost 17+ games every full season since the 2014-2015 campaign (they lost 16). Not sure that is a great flex there by you. |

AU now 2-2 after an ugly, ugly win at NJIT Saturday, 58-53. Combined 7-26 on threes. NJIT legit only has one guy who can score, and we couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. Big three late from freshman guard Geoff Sprouse, who's got some potential. Bad basketball, but we'll take the W. No one needs you coming here and throwing it in our faces that you can beat terrible teams and we can’t. |
