White has been at three schools including Harford C.C. and UNC Asheville. I don't know if that's the optimal grad transfer. But he has some talent and two years left apparently. Not a very good three-point shooter last year, under 30%. Points per game don't matter as much anymore if you are not efficient and just a chucker. Does he play the 3 and Fobbs moves to the 2? I'd prefer somebody who didn't shoot 41% from the floor and 29% from beyond the arc (49 assists 61 turnovers). https://goblackbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3813 https://goblackbears.com/documents/2019/3/11/1819combined.pdf

Another potential move could be for the second ship and that's going the Euro route.

I'm sure she'll get a raise and she can coach as long she wants but I don't think she'll be coaching into her 70s so no 8-10 year extension. But due to her age and having an older autistic daughter, I really doubt that she leaves the area for a bigger job. She appears to be an amazing person as well as a coach. TL hit a home run with this hire.

I've seen very few right-handed HS players or even college players that use their left hand that well. I think we're going hard after Hunter, and the two North Carolina guys, Caleb Burgess and Shykiem Phillips. Not sure about Buckley. Both of those NC guys have a lot of decent mid-majors after them. Hofstra and UMBC after Burgess, Kent State, ECU and ODU and others after Phillips.

I've watched more of Gibson's highlights and I think you can scrutinize everybody in a video where they don't show the lowlights. They don't show the five turnovers he had but again, he's going against a big-time HS player and a great program. The fact that he can score 28 against them is beyond impressive. I really enjoy his passing because he likely won't have to score or won't able to score much at the next level. Not saying that's a bad thing because we need somebody that can the bigs the rock, get Fobbs and Gray the ball on the perimeter, break down guys off the dribble and make the open shot. Defense appears to be serviceable and he's added some muscle to his frame. Will need a bit more if he gets here but we have an excellent strength program. He's impressive.

BTW, great job by TSN and Ben. They've done a great job with the highlights all season long. Good camera work

Bad shots can be turnovers when the team turns it into transition goals. You can beat a really good team or be a really good team when you shoot 35 times and hit the goal 15 times.

I found this video of Jason Gibson scoring 28 points against St. John's. That's the same team that has Mike's little (better?) brother Casey Morsell, a 4* g aurd who is going to Virginia. I'm not saying he lit up Casey for all those points, but it looks as though he guarded him some. Morsell is No. 14 and 6-2, 185+. But that's impressive as hell.

Of course, they aren't showing the replay on SNY. Just a blank screen.

Schedule says they are replaying the game at 7pm on SNY non-HD and tomorrow at 5pm on same channel. That’s 96 on Verizon

Yes I believe so

Towson already sending out emails asking for money for rings and stuff. Need to start capitalizing on the merch by selling shirts and hats on front page.

Can the women finally make it on TV? Not even sure if first-round women's game are on ESPN 10 or whatever. Might be ESPN3 or ESPN+.

I can see that if we get a 15 and Maryland gets a 2? Actually, the women's bracketology had Drexel at a 12 so maybe we get a 13, because Maryland is expected to get a 3. I doubt I can make it during work week but I would like to go if it's in College Park. http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/bracketology

Mayo got the Tournament MVP and Jeter was named to All-Tournament team. Mayo was great but Jeter, Murray and Holder were the difference. As good as Coach Rich is, she couldn't do much with last year's team. She added those three players, a 6-5 big in Camp, a 6-3 power forward in Flynn and a few others that didn't play much. Only holdovers that played from previous coaching staff were Durjan and Lee.

Yeah, Coach Rich went small late in the first half and that changed the game. She started small in 2nd half and then went back go Maia Lee at center when they went back to a big. But really, it's about talent and you'r best players make plays. Mayo at the line and Jeter with the big jumper to extend the lead. I was thinking that you have to take advantage of your situations. A loss here would be tough because who knows if we get back? JMU lost two key players and was shocked by Hofstra. Now we return just about everybody and should get a lot better.

I assume you mean lax. They had 24 today and went 8 of 14 on clears. That should be the easiest thing and we've made it into the most difficult thing to do. I wonder if that has something to do with the new DC. Also shows that we still have a ways to go in terms of talent to reach those top 5 teams.

https://towsontigers.com/news/2019/3/15/womens-basketball-towson-faces-drexel-in-caa-championship-saturday.aspx I'm chatting for this one and for men's lax. I don't care if nobody shows up. This is special as an alum who covered the team back in the day, broadcasted the games for four years in the late nineties on WTMD. Did a few games as a college student when they were decent with Tara Rotett, Amy Green and Danielle Barry. But lately they basically were the doormat of the CAA for about 15 of the last 20 years. I remember the Maryland win but not a lot of highlights. The scary thing is that this team should be better next season with Mayo, Jeter, Q. Murray, Holder, Camp, and Flynn back. Some guards coming in that can stroke it. Did we get a break when JMU lost? Of course, but took advantage by beating Delaware at Newark and crushing Hofstra. BTW, the game is not on regular CSN or NBC Sports Washington, it's on NBCSWA+. .

He’s versatile and athletic. Just coming off a subpar shooting year. He needs to go to a place where he can start. My guess is home at DePaul

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. You can throw out every fact and number, ad naseum. We all know. But until the next recruit, I'm done talking about PS. I might be a homer but I'm not a sycophant. I don't think the recruiting is where it needs to be and that's why the staff is out there trying to recruit his ass off. I would like to see them utilize their athleticism and length more. Trap, pressure the basketball. Force turnovers. It's always been an issue over the last 25 years. I don't think he underachieved or achieved this year. The fact that he played that many close games with one of his worst teams says something. You may draw conclusions that it also says something because he can't finish those close games. HE can't finish those. You can be John Wooden and even he wasn't going to win all those close games with TJ Howard and Jakigh Dottin running the team and sure, one is really a two-guard and the other is a freshman who is maybe a backup. This is a results-oriented business. Ask Shaver, Ask Maurice Joseph. At some point, PS will be on the hotseat or his assistants will if they struggle as they did in conference play last year and this season. You can take away Year 1 but you can't take away last year's poor performance in conference play. That to me was his worst moment. But he also deserves credit for taking this shitty program out of the abyss. PK had this team at the bottom of the barrel. How far could that second year team gone? To the semifinals? To the finals? Bilal Dixon at center was a better option than TJ. Jerome Hairston was the best point guard we've had thus far despite all his issues. What about the year JD got shot? How far could that team have gone? I don't think any coach at Towson has ever dealt with this kind of shit from academic issues from a previous coach to having a key player shot late in the season to his top scorer leaving last summer. Nobody is perfect and PS certainly isn't. I just don't think everything sucks and we have no shot next season. Last season was doomed from the start when 0 left the program.

I noticed on their board they were looking at JT III as a possible replacement. If you want basically the same offense and a guy who played and coached in the Ivy League, he would be a pretty good replacement. Failed at Georgetown at least the last few years and had some really good early success. As for Pierce, I don't think he's much better than a very solid mid-major player. His three-point shooting (32.6%) and free throw shooting (59%) took a huge nosedive from last season when it was 42% 3pt and 79% FT. I would think he'd end up at an A-10 team or head to a school in Illinois where he's from.
