Providence?

Who will show up for this game? The team that stayed with North Carolina for 3/4 of the game, or the team that blew a winnable game by allowing Monmouth to shoot over 50% overall and more than 50% from 3 point range? I still feel we have as much talent as anyone in the league. But player development...

Re: Colgate

So lets have some patience with Kahill. My freshman year (fall of 1968) Fred Dunlap was expected to get fired at season's end. How bad was it? How about two wins in three season since his hiring in 1965! Going into the Lafayette game 0f 68' we were 2-7 with wins over Drexel & Gettysburg, both of...

Re: North Carolina

Simply ran out of gas, and went cold. But a great effort against a top 20 team. A lot of young kids played a lot of minutes. National audience on ACC Network saw competitive game until late.

Penn State

Based on the score, a great effort tonight, but again just a little bit short. Obviously we were very competitive. Game was on BIG10+ which required buying a $55 season pass so no TV here. Did anyone here make the trip?

Re: 2023-2024 Opening night starting lineup

Had a shot at this one, but 1-12 on three’s and 2 missed lay ups in the 2nd half did us in. The win was there for the taking, but we just went cold offensively in the last six minutes. Also, defense wasn’t great at times. Their big gun 6’9” Sean Hansen went 4 of 5 on uncontested 3’s, and 7-10 overal...

Re: 2023-2024 Opening night starting lineup

Kenpom has the game at 77-74 Cornell....... I'm conservatively optimistic.... and expect Frosh contributions. The BIG RED are not huge (2 forwards at 6'9"), but they are an older team with all but one starter back from 22-23.

Re: 2023-2024 Schedule

A second reason for using PPL was that Villanova’s arena was in the middle of renovations. It was a great night, great crowd, and a competitive game. I totally agree PSU-Lehigh would be a natural for both programs and PPL.

Re: Bucknell

My dad went to Bucknell and I grew up 8 miles up river from Lewisburg, so I know a bit about the Bison over the years. From WWII on, Bison administration has been luke warm (at best) on providing athletics with much support, with the exception of basketball. Since 1959 football has had 11 coaches an...

2023-2024 Opening night starting lineup

21 days until opening night, Monday November 4th with Cornell. One of this year's few decent non-league home games. On paper an exciting freshman class. Will any of them have an early impact? And what kind of lineup starts the year? Here are my thoughts: G1 Sinclair/Knotsman/Gilus G2 Whitney-Sidney/...

And, per Chuck, why isn't this game in ESPN+? Aren't PL games all on ESPN+ or did I misread someting?
I just checked ESPN+ and it IS listed for 1pm….
