Re: Conference Realignment
I think not only the Bell hire but the McCall hire hurt as well. If our basketball program was strong it would have a positive effect on our profile as a candidate for a conference. When both programs are down it makes us less appealing.

Re: Conference Realignment
Ryan Bamford has been here about 9 years. I’m fairly sure one if his assignments when hired was to get into an FBS conference. The landscaped had changed significantly the past 9 years but we are still on the outside looking in.

Re: Conference Realignment
I think you’re going to see more coaches just get fed up with the portal and NIL’s and move like Halsey or retire like Saban. I would guess whatever collective BC had, cannot compete with most collectives in the power 5 conferences. In addition BC just cannot accept any student who applies like SEC ...

Re: 2023-24 Season
I think because there is an odd amount of teams (15) every team has a weekday or weekend where they do not play

Re: Conference Realignment
SMU is leaving the AAC. Has a replacement for them been selected? Also is Memphis leaving or are they still in.

Re: The Massachusetts Collective - NIL initiative
UMass Collective is a tremendous plus for UMass mens and women’s basketball. The amount if time and effort Pat puts in to help our programs should be appreciated.
The NIL’s are part of the college landscape. If we did not have one, we would be out in the cold.

Re: Game 19, 2023-24: Saint Joe's (1/23)
I think Ryan Bamford can get credit for the 2 worst hires Walt Bell for Football and Matt McCall for basketball.

Re: Game 19, 2023-24: Saint Joe's (1/23)
I agree with crazylegs on many fronts. Because of many miserable years, the expectations and/or goals seems to be 16-18 wins. Given our weak OOC schedule, this amounts to mediocrity. Finishing middle of the pack A10, should not be something that should be taken as positive. The landscape of college ...

Must have had a dental implant. I'm not familiar with implants except I know they are expensive.
Any dentists on the site.

Another big man 7’2 Zvonemir Ivisic from Croatia just got cleared to play at Kentucky. He was impressive in blowout over Georgia.

Re: Game 8, 2023-24: vs West Virginia (Springfield, 12/16)
A smaller facility, like the Loyola one, can be a big advantage. The place is a basketball only facility ie no hockey. It holds about 5000. I checked and the announced attendance for our game was 2782 yet with all the noise factured in it was very loud and created a tremendous home court advantage -...
