Around the country hoops season 2023....

Lastly, the St. Rose WBB wins their final regular season conference game, 

In my opinion, Will Brown's best coaching season, hopefully, it will lead to bigger and better things, whether inside or outside of coaching and basketball.

Further, I hope for the women associated with program can continue with lives in the manner they had expected before the closing of their school.

SAINT ROSE 46, SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE 43

Knights rally to win regular-season finale

 

Sports staff

The College of Saint Rose women’s basketball team closed the regular season with a 46-43 come-from-behind overtime win against host Southern New Hampshire on Tuesday in Manchester, N.H.

Payton Graber’s buzzer-beating three-pointer tied the game at 40 to end regulation and force the extra period where the Golden Knights kept the momentum rolling and picked up the victory.

Saint Rose finished the regular season at 21-5 and 17-5 in the Northeast-10 which will give them the three-seed in the upcoming conference tournament.

Graber had a team-best 15 points and Kaelah Carter added 12 points, including four of the Golden Knights’ six points in overtime.

Adriana Timberlake scored 16 points for Southern New Hampshire, which finished the regular season 17-9 and 15-9 to earn the fourth-seed.

The Northeast-10 tournament begins Friday with the first round but Saint Rose has a bye and will start with a home game on Sunday in the quarterfinal round with a time and opponent to be determined.

I believe this leaves them at 4-26. Carm has been quoted recently stating he believes he will remain their coach.

He should remain their coach. They had 3 other coaches lose 24 in a season. He has a road and neutral site game left. He can still get to 28.

Well, Carmen's did it reached 28 losses.  I cannot imagine that John wants him back.

At least they got the name right.

[cwdickens]

LOL, six $iena WBB players have entered the portal.  There is Times Union article about the potential departures, including their best player.

[UAalum72]

Well, Carm got fired today 

[bob87]

That is unfortunate.  Never got to see him coach a game

He's 34-60 here at UA and no one over there seems to care. 3 years in and it's not much better. Typically if a guy can't figure it out in 3 years or show signs, it's only a matter of time. DK has shown nothing but they won't eat 800k of salary so here we are. Bad hire! Was the right move to move on, not with a coach that needed a training diaper. 

Brown was 33-47 last 3 years and got run off (last was covid year) and all of his history.

I think people do care however at least three things prevent his firing:

• Concern(s) will be raised by the same community group that interceded on Killings behalf two years ago.
• The cost of paying Killings on the reminder of his contract.
• The fear of having to start from scratch, new coach and recruiting a whole new team.

I keep thinking, how much better Marquette has gotten each year since they fire their head coach and Killings leaving.  Marquette is a Two Seed.

Killings sucks but his being gone has nothing to do specifically with Killings gone but that they changed entire direction with respect to coaching staff. You continuing to beat this moronic drum is one of the dumbest things on this board. They hired Shaka, that's what led to the change not DK taking UA after the previous coach got fired. 

You point maybe would make some sense if Steve Wojciechowski was still the HC and only Killing left. 

Enough already with this completely idiotic point. And I don't even like Kilings. It's like saying Carm was fired at Siena because I bought a bucket of KFC for dinner. The two events are completely unrelated.
