Yeah maybe we should discuss why we don’t recruit more players from Massachusetts.

This is all so stupid. And I say that as someone who thinks if kids help a school earn money they should earn money themselves. The system itself, though, sucks. And that’s not a comment on today’s news in particular. I didn’t think Cross was coming back, but the longer it stretches out, the more I ...

This place turns in some really weird takes all year, but during the offseason it’s like those takes get some of Tiger’s HGH and really go into overdrive.

I wouldn’t say I have ill will towards him. I just don’t have any real level of attachment towards him.

I think it’s safe to say, yes. Either that or Arkansas has a ridiculous strength and nutrition program. Cohen was a good scorer, not as terrible on defense as I thought he would be (still not good but not terrible), but he was not a good defensive rebounder at all and I think that is what he is real...

I won’t besmirch anyone trying to make more money or better their situations. If it’s a money play more than anything that’s fine. I think though it’s fair to say it can also dull one’s fandom when it seems more transactional in nature. One change I would like to see is instead of those dumb commitm...

Haven’t posted a ton on this, but so far the portal for us has been surprising but not worse case (knock on wood). Cohen could do one thing relatively really well - score. And even that had limitations — he didn’t have great hands, his actual posting up for entry passes wasn’t always effective, and ...

Hard to fall in love with a team these days. Happy I’ve picked up other hobbies.

Happy kids can do what they want, but man my interest in college sports is dwindling by the minute.

Disappointing end. Just too much to come back from and the defensive rebounding was a real issue as the game wore on. Nice effort in that second half - they could have folded but they didn’t. Very likeable team that outperformed what I was expecting and didn’t go into a tailspin down the stretch lik...

Our perimeter play is killing us. All year long I’ve been harping on our lack of shooting and down the stretch on our offense in general. We’ve been able to win despite that when we defend and don’t turn the ball over. I think we let our offensive struggles affect our defensive effort in this one. D...

Just win I guess. With my blood pressure, I have to either watch my diet or not watch UMass.

Don’t really have much to say except for the obvious so I won’t say anything.

Rest up and root for Dayton on Friday.

Rough start defensively but got better. Rough start offensively didn’t get much better. Yes we are short two dudes, including our starting point guard, but we are on pace to not break 70 points for the 4th time in our last 6 games. Part of that is pace probably and a couple of them were in double di...

Yeah I’m not saying that’s why we won the game or anything like that. I’m just saying I think we got lucky on that call.

I saw it a half dozen times too. Seemed like he was in his shooting motion when he got fouled.

Felt like we stole that one. And that foul on Thompson should have been a shooting foul. Cross carried us offensively with some help from DHS on the glass and Diggins from 3. Jayden made a ton of little things that were big plays. Rest of the guys were really ineffective. Cohen was a mess out there....
