Does Framingham State have any open dates we might explore?

Colgate has a big challenge Friday night, playing at #15 Auburn. How many schools does Bruce Pearl have to cheat at before he is justly punished ?

FAC Dan Engelstad leads Mount St. Mary's over St. Peter's 73-58 in Jersey City. They won their inaugural MAAC contest and are in a good position to compete in year 1.
Edit: For context, they are now ranked #206 in Ken Pom. That is quite the jump from #324 from year 1.

Engelstad is in his fifth season as head coach at The Mount., 50-74 overall. Pass.

I highly doubt it. At this point, HC is a significant step down from MSM. HC hoops is a step down for 98% of the D1 programs in America and probably for a good number of D2 as well. Hard to believe.

The HC facilities and history make such statements unrealistic. The record, as poor as last few years have been, is what a new coach plans to change. For that reason it is not a step down for a coach coming from most colleges. Have you seen the MSM facilities? Unless they were improved a great deal in the last 8 years, they are not better than HC. If a coach would not come to HC because he does not believe he can do better (with the bar as low as it has been set recently) then I would not think we would want him. Also, until our current coach leaves, all of this speculation is pure fantasy. We'll see what the future holds.

Are you saying that the facilities and history make this program a step-up for most coaches? FacilitiesI go to about 3-5 games per season, and I got married at The Mount. Yes, I have seen their facilities. They and HC are probably even now, but that is not even close to what I was talking about. HistoryIf "history" made Holy Cross such a draw, we would truly compete for national talent. No recruit or prospective coach is going to look at Bob Cousy's statue and say, "Wow, I have to come here and follow his footsteps!" No recruit or prospective coach cares that the school won the 1947 NCAA championship or flirted with the Top 25 45 years ago. Tradition is much more important than history. No one can deny we have the latter. We have almost none of the former. It's too myopic to took at the record and say, "That is why coaches don't want to come here." They look at the body of work, both right before and after Willard, and say "there must be something within the institution itself that is holding the program back." Marcus Blossom himself referred to this on some call I was on. For most coaches, Holy Cross is a step down. There is little-to-no enthusiasm for the program within the school, admission standards are tough even by PL standards and, despite those challenges, most people who do care expect a complete turnaround by a coach's second year. On this front, BBC is exactly right.

kevin willard off to a red hot start with terps, as they beat #16 illinois to bring their record to 8-0. didn't watch last night to see if ralph was in attendance, but he must be proud. there is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in these parts after suffering through the abysmal x's and o's of the turgeon era.

Interesting game Terps began with a matchup. KW is a very good coach, but it did not take long before the players proved they could not execute the intricate details and KW abandoned it until late in the game for a few possessions. Either KW cannot teach it as well as his dad, or the players just cannot execute. Same thing happened at Seton Hall.
Color guy, Robbie Hummel, usually perceptive, called the matchup a 2-3 zone multiple times even though twice when he said that, the Terps’ center was guarding a big at the top of the key. Robbie has to be better.

I went to the UMass/Harvard game last night and Lavietes was sold out. UMass fans outnumbered the Crimson fans by at least 10 to 1; and out cheered them by about 20 to 1. Very physical game. On the way out I overheard a Harvard fan say “. .. that really wasn’t like an Ivy League game.” 😅

So, let me get this right. The Eagles are a weak team in the ACC and we have a weak team in the Patriot League?
Relatively speaking, we're in a worse condition. Right? 😩

AU wins its sixth in a row, at Mount St. Mary's, holding off the Mountaineers 69-61. Longest win streak in 11 years. We took a 15-point lead in the first half, frittered it all away due to turnovers late in the first and early in the second, but won the last eight minutes of the game – a pattern we've repeated through the win streak. Johnny O'Neal returned from illness to lead the way with 18 points, including 4 of 4 on three-pointers, and one emphatic, desperately needed dunk right after MSM tied the game with six minutes remaining. Matt Rogers with 16 and 6. We shot it really well again from deep, going 10 of 20 on threes, and shot 53 percent from the floor overall. At GW Saturday.
