Apparently if we find us some foreign recruits, at least for now, they are now allowed to receive NIL money.  Maybe those trips to Canada will pay off.

Some of you guys are ridiculous, but its the same thing year after year.  Look at Oakland University and Greg Kampe.  He began his career at Oakland in 1984 (granted they were D2 at the time) and he was at the school for 21 years and they first made the Tourney in 2005.  They have now made it 4 times in the last 20 years.

Jim Larranga was a head coach for 13 seasons (btwn Bowling Green and GM) before one of his teams first qualified for the Tourney.  His GM team then made it to the Tourney 5 times in the next 13 seasons before he left for Miami.

James Jones of Yale, his first season was 99-00 and in his 17th season his team first qualified.  His team has now made the Tourney 4 of the last 8 seasons.

In Pat's 13 seasons we have not yet made the Tourney, but that 2012-2013 team was good and I bet would have won the conference tournament had it not been for Pat Kennedy and the shit show we had in place before Skerry.  For Skerry's 13 seasons at TU (including that first one) we've had a winning record 9 of 13 seasons.  When we have good players they generally stay in the program and don't transfer out at the first opportunity.  Moreover, this year we have two players on the all-rookie team.  

What I'm trying to say is that good things come to those who wait.  He's been putting a pretty consistent/competitive team out on the Court and our time will come.  Skerry has made this team semi-relevant and he's the reason I actually care about TU sports again. (I graduated in 1999.)  Let the man work and support the fing team.

Kinda interesting/sad that in 2023 Charles Thompson was #2 on this list of POY and in 2024 he does not appear in the top 15.   https://barttorvik.com/poy.php?year=2023&conlimit=CAA 

Drexel may have the hardest remaining schedule

Are there video highlights of the game anywhere?

It's the strangest thing, but when I am in a thread I am not able to move onto the next page.  I can click on another page or select "NEXT," but nothing happens.   I have to go back to the Home Page and then there select the page I want to view of the particular thread.

Does this make any sense?  Is anyone else having a similar issue?

How tall is he actually? He looks kinda small out there, but he’s fearless and as dynamic a pg we have ever had in the skerry era

jerome hariston could have been good if he stuck around long enough for Bennimon to come to town

Hairston played with Bennimon.

Can we get tix for Charleston Classic through Towson?  

Good for him.  I enjoyed watching him play and happy that he gets a shot to play in the NCAAs.  However, KU will just disappoint in the NCAAs as they do most years.

So....  Did he withdraw from transfer portal?

I didn't see the game, did CT get injured and keep playing?  Or did he come right out after the injury?

Hofstra down 43-19 with 5 minutes left in first half is more than a slow start.  Holy crap.

fair enough, point is I wanted Elon to knock off UNCW

Stupid Elon, had a huge lead to UNCW.

Winner of 8/9 has a less than 24 hour turnaround, that’s tough for anyone. Hoping for a hard fought game between NE and W&M. Not going to lie, NE scares me but we are really playing well 

I don't love NE because of our history with them.  However, our one loss to them this year was a fluke.  Nolan was out and Timberlake, wanting to impress his friends/family, probably had his worst game as a Tiger.  As team we were 1-15 from 3pt.

Really not necessary to spout that BS on a day like this. Not only has Spiro been here for 30+ years getting through mostly trash teams. But he had to bury his father today. 

TuTigers2012 generally never has anything positive to say, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

It's nice to see how wrong everyone was about this team.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're both regular season champions.  We just get the #1 seed for CAA b/c of our record against Hofstra.

Assuming we beat Delaware

What are they celebrating? If we W Monday, we’re the regular season champ 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're both regular season champions.  We just get the #1 seed for CAA b/c of our record against Hofstra.

On Saturday if we win, Delaware wins and Hofstra wins, thereby us clinching 1st, UNCW 2nd, Hof 3rd and Del 4th, would it be possible that the game on Monday is not played?

If UD wins on Saturday (and we win), I believe Monday's outcome will not matter

99-96, what an ending.  Hopefully Delaware picks up where they left off and blows UNCW out the doors

when is the last time there was a CAA game with both teams in the 90s in regulation

Shit, it was 93-83 with 1:03 left
