  1. Just a heads-up. This looks like a low traffic week so I'll be running some updates and the board might be temporarily down or look a little odd for a while. Everything should be done by Thursday for the LIU game.
  2. No need to send out a search party for me. I'm still around. Yank, I did respond to your messages. Not sure why you didn't see them but I will check again. Hopefully you don't give us a lousy Yelp review. You're right about not seeing me at UA events. I haven't been going as much lately and probably won't in the near future. It's not a statement about the administration or anything. Recent life events have made me reshuffle priorities. Sports are great, but they are the dessert in life, not the main course. I've had to skip dessert recently and likely will for a while. Eli, you are more than welcome to build another forum with a similar mission. I'll keep this one up until you do and then pull the plug when you're done.
  3. I actually liked the roster of Brown's last season. Had it not been for the coaching change, we could have returned CJ Kelly, Horton, Rizzuto, Healy and Champion in the backcourt the following year. It's one of the reason I was annoyed. I felt like we went through the down cycle (which are inevitable with mid majors) and would have returned a good group. I agree with D96, this Will Brown rant is milder than most. I'd always assumed you had something saved in a Google doc and then just pasted it whenever Will Brown's name came up but there's some fresh material in here.
  4. NJIT up double digits at the half over Bryant. An NJIT win would seal the casket on this season's postseason hopes.
  5. Every time I think we're at the bottom this year, the program seems to find another level to sink to. To follow up, both teams in the video were suspended from the NJ state tournament this year.
  6. Brown had a winning record at Albany, went to the NCAA tournament 5 times, had a winning record in 7 of his past 10 years. And the three losing years he had were better than the first two years so far under Coach Killings. <begin sarcasm>There's a recipe for a happy fan base. <end sarcasm> For short-term comparison, you could probably compare Coach Killings to the other two American East coaches who were hired the same year - Coach Ferry at UMBC and Coach Sanders at Bing. Conference records: Ferry - 18-12 in the AE Sanders - 15-14 in the AE Killings - 11-19 in the AE That's just a snapshot and maybe Coach Killings can turn things around in the next three seasons if Neely and Drumgoole return next year. The long-term thing I don't like is Brett Nelson. If you remember, Coach Killings was the Associate Head Coach at Marquette under Steve Wojciechowski. The Associate Head Coach at Marquette under Steve Wojciechowski before Killings was Brett Nelson. Nelson is in his 4th year as the head coach at Holy Cross and is 27-80 so far. He may be there for another season, I'm not sure but the Holy Cross fans are not happy. Not saying Nelson and Killings are the same, but it's not a great track record for former Marquette assistants.
  7. Jamel Horton has left the Mississippi State team. I didn't see any reason given but his playing time was going down as the season went on. He was starting early in the season but has been coming off the bench since they started conference play. That looks like one transfer portal move that didn't work out for either team.
  8. Whoa whoa whoa. Nobody said anything about "great." I'm just saying, if you compare where Bing has been the last decade or so, he's done a decent job recruiting and coaching to a place that has seen a lot of losing in the past.
  9. I don't like to say nice things about Bing but Sanders has done a nice job. They've beaten us 3 of the last 4 and might end up in 2nd by the end of the day. Pretty clear contrast of two programs that made coaching changes last year and are now headed in different directions.
  10. No doubt Sullivan is a PITA. Vermont tends to always have one of those guys on their roster. I guess I wasn't crazy about Killings talking about Vermont being tough and Albany not being tough. The word I would have used was "discipline." Vermont was organized and disciplined and we were unorganized and undisciplined.
  11. I don't generally defend the refs and I certainly don't recommend anyone watching that game again but you should take another look at the second tech. Jackson plays tough D but that wasn't a good play although I understand the frustration.
