I have said that for 4 years. Adoda was #1, he turned in his wings making DT the laziest on the team.
Watching DT have his hands down and casually stepping into the o player as if he is Michael J is histerical to watch. Then they blow by him. Laziest defender on the court. Thinks he is gonna block ever shot so he doesnt have to defend up front.
Exactly. He always takes that feeble swat from 5 feet behind the player that just blew by him.
the only guy who plays "real good" D is KF. He is in the face, hands moving. His D makes SDJ look like he's not trying.
Monte went for 29 and 14 tonight, including 8 offensive boards and 11-for-11 from the line. (Did go 0-for-5 from three though.)
That's ok, we have 3 point shooters out the A$$. We need the 29 rebounds our 2 recruits got tonight.
But when he gets here he will b coached that rebounding is not important. And no way should theyvattack the offensive board.
Well coached teams have 5 guys like him on D. He came here knowing how to defend. if they dont come here knowing how to defend, they wont get taught how to defend while here.
I'll save $500-$1000 on Brooklyn this year.

Keith sent a note in a couple of days, which included a forwarded message from our facilities department. It was an appropriate response.
On a positive note, the Spiders beat a good St. John's team in baseball and are currently undefeated at 1-0. OSC
Time to give thought to a rose colored glasses promotion?
I appreciate your sentiments which sound very pastoral, but it is most difficult to have passion for a team
and be excited to accept mediocre play. Without some form of constant striving for excellence, a true fan has extreme difficulty maintaining a high level of passion, if disappointment is a constant companion. College basketball is a business and winning equates to higher profits and greater returns. Last years NIT run was a projection for most of what was to come, building high expectations among the fan base. But instead major disappointment was the reward. So tell me, how do you regain "passion" as a fan when there is no emotional high to feed off. Big wins will help bring passion back, but changes need to take place with the program I am afraid.
Sorry if this has been discussed (haven't read thru all the threads), does anyone have any idea how the watch party went at the RC Friday night? Lot of people showed up? Ghost town?
Thought the chances of this having success was limited since game was 1) local and some would attend live at Costco Ctr., and 2) game was on espn2.

Basically ghost town. Some security, 8 cheerleaders, couple concession stands open. Maybe 100 total in the building. Not much to cheer for, we left with about 5 min to go.
That is a shame. I think it was a good idea but I think most fans saw the writing on the wall and decided to spend the evening drinking alone.
Good things to talk about regarding the athletic program:
Swim and Dive Team won their 6th straight A-10 championship. Not bad for a team that has a non-regulation size pool and can't host a lot of events.
Women's hoops team has won 3 in a row! Finally turning it around after having a dreadful time of it in December and January.
Men's Lacrosse beat UMBC yesterday up in Baltimore. They're 2-0!
See? Not all is doom and gloom.

Yes I agree, glad they did it and would have been more fun with more participation. Many things working against the idea. Poor team, 98% chance of losing, on TV ESPN2, no beer.
The only thing I would have changed is I would have had the live feed of Bob Black and Greg, rather than the idiots on ESPN2 who don't know our team.
Ramt.... send that center our way asap! Thanks for the positive thoughts.............. You would be great at giving a pep talk........................
Yeah, the next solid two-way center Mooney recruits will be his first. I'm not holding my breath. There's no place for that kind of player in his system anyway. He doesn't value rebounding, and he values three-point shooting.
Yep...in the system there are subtle differences in a 5 & a 1. That's by design. It certainly appears finesse & shooting are valued more than defense & controlling the boards.
Some will say that's how we recruit. Others will say we can't get a big aggressive banger. I just wonder if there's a real priority / effort to get this type of big man. It reminds me of the adage - "Try it, you'll like it."

Ramballs. You told me in your second sentence that you are a bandwagon fan. Plus it's always easy to be so very kind when you win. I may be alone here but nothing pisses me off more than someone or someone's team coming to my place/message board and rubbing my face in how generous they can be in victory while explaining to me what my team and fans should do to improve.
Yep....I'm still mad. Gonna take me awhile but I'll be in my seat Wednesday cheering for my Spiders.

RamNads is just another dirtbag troll trying to get his rocks off by antagonizing UR fans on their own board.
Don't pay too much attention to RamSack guys. If we do, we might find that RichardRam will be here soon.
