Quit being a sore loser. It makes the whole fanbase look bad.

Elaborate.

I think with Harney, its more mental than anything. I agree that there is a lot of potential with him.

Do you believe in handing out participation trophies, too? This is the NCAA tournament, not a regular season game. He has a job. Smart needs to have his players primed, as they have other games against tougher opponents left to play. I think the last time a starter scored for VCU was with about 9 minutes left in the game. He called off the dogs. What do you expect, for them to run the shot clock out and throw it out of bounds?

False again. The MLS has a higher average attendance than the NBA and NHL.

Most popular sport in the world.

Yeah, sorry, I could have worded it better.

I said Im not sure if he could play the 3 and I said I think the freshman did a fine job stepping in for him. Not sure where you are getting me saying he isnt valuable or whatever. Just tired of everybody using the excuse of not having Diggs this season. It wasnt a loss at a crucial time like AA or Walsh. McAdams and Kretzer made big plays, even won us a few games. In hind sight, losing Quincy wasnt a killer until our starting PG decided he wanted to traffic marijuana.

Im well aware of the importance of the 6th man, and more specifically, Diggs to our team.

Not sure if Diggs would have been a starter this year or not, but I dont see any of the 3 you mentioned playing the 3. Also, Diggs was known to be gone well before the season, so I am not going to give KD a pass on that because he had all season to make the adjustment (and did fine I might add). Our freshman contributed. KD might have gotten the top rated MAC player of all time, but on the other hand, how many tournament (not counting conference) games has he won with that talent? Pretty sure its 0.

You are thinking about it way too much zips71. Make some noise in the NCAA tourney, and your budget will increase as well as talent. Its funny you knock Akron by saying nobody wants to come here, they will choose anywhere over here blah blah, but you mention Zeke Marshall in the same post. Location plays a small part in a recruit's decision, sometimes a major part. There are many factors that a recruit looks at for choosing a school, but the most common and important factor is how good the program is. No shit that Terry Bowden is having trouble bringing in recruits. We havent beaten a D1 opponent in 2 years. It looks like Bowden did great with this class with what he has to work with.

A healthy Walsh is not going to make a 40+ point difference. In fact, I dont think it hurt us all that much, really. McAdams and Chauncey both have similar skill sets. I admire KD and what he has done with the basketball program, but people getting pissed when somebody questions him is crazy. He has never won anything to make me think his is invincible. As GP1 said, he is no John Wooden.

Im a huge fan. Not saying he is great, but he did carry Ole Miss to the win today. I mainly love his personality/passion. some of his acts this season http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjkiebus/this-is-h...ncaa-tournament

Your points are spot on, pat. GP1 will criticize anything and everything that involves the AD and spending money. If im not mistaken, he hasnt been around the University in years, so he has no idea how much the facilities get used.

We have implemented it some and did use it some this year. We have had success with Harney and Tree pressing. Betancourt stands up too straight when he dribbles, causing him to dribble higher. He played solid, as a back up. I commend him for stepping up after the loss of Abreu, but he hasnt shown me anything to make me think he is our point guard of the future. Lane will not be playing basketball, and yea, he is good.

What a bunch of tree-hugging hippies.

They will play. Deji being out doesnt hurt, he doesnt play.

My "upsets" Wichita St over Pitt Belmont over Zona Iowa St over ND Akron over VCU Didnt realize I went that much chalk, but I do have some upsets in the later rounds. Have OSU vs UM in the final

Ill be with a few people at Pint's!

People will bitc* about anything. Give UA credit for reaching out to see what other people think.

Saw this on twitter earlier. Since we all have our suggestions on the new arena, etc, I figured I would share as it seems the Athletic Department is looking for our input. https://akron.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9pnes66j1pkCCjP

I dont like to play this card, but MTSU got hosed by the refs last night.

Dont try to fix what isnt broken. Forsythe just hasnt been worth his minutes the past half of the season. Plus we need all the ball handlers on the floor that we can to get the ball up the court.

We shouldnt have them both on the floor at the same time, because that means Tree isnt.

I disagree. VCU is a very good team. Their worst loss is to Richmond, and its not even a bad loss. The A-10 is tough.
