What the hell is going on with the Spiders?!?.............Now it looks like the Bona-Richmond homecoming game I'll be going to in two weeks will be huge. Both teams really need a top 4 seed for the A10 tourney to have a puncher's chance to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This boy Golden can play now, looks like a completely different player from early December. I have to find out who the color guy was on the game yesterday, he was fantastic. One point he said "I am not saying this just because he is tall lanky goofy looking white dude with weird hair, but Golden reminds me of Olynyk" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking in betting terms Richmond was always a team I could count on to play well at home. Very difficult to beat at home but they were getting bombed at home also. I haven't been paying a ton of attention to them as of late but they seem like they have gotten the ship steady. Bonnie, I thought was going to be one of those teams that would be on the bubble come March & sneak in as an at large but they got too many bad losses this year. They will have to win their conference tournament & I am not sure if they could get by Rhode Island who is very good this year. UB is legit. They are top 25 legit. & don't forget about my alma mater Canisius. They currently lead the MAAC although they loss to Niagara Saturday. Speaking of which the purple eagles are 7-3 in the MAAC. I didn't see that coming in the beginning of the year. It should be a real exciting time come conference tournament time come March for the local teams. They all have a shot to go dancing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay for, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great question. URI is one of those perfect steps between small time and big time for rising or rehabilitating coaches so any success is usually fleeting. I was there when they had Tom Penders and he brought exciting teams and packed houses to a dormant program. Jim Harrick did the same a decade later. I assumed Hurley would follow the same path but he signed a big extension last year so maybe URI is serious about building a contender and maybe he'd rather do that than go to a big name and deal with that set of circumstances. Every contract can be broken so I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but the more they win the more likely he sticks around. http://www.providencejournal.com/sports/20170516/uri-dan-hurley-agree-on-contract-extension-through-2023-24-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their real purpose is to increase the buyout clause so the losing schools have more money to get a new coach. It's been suggested UB should offer Oats a long term deal at $550K/yr (he earns $350K now) which would put him at or near the top for MAC coaches, knowing that Oats could be gone in a year or two. The long contact ensures a bigger buyout. Oats has said he wants to stay at UB because he expects his team to be even better next year.

And these coaches being to go wherever they want, whenever they want, contract be damned has always irked me. I am hoping this MSU mess is the straw that finally breaks the camels back on the sham that is the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wife Crystal is under care at Roswell Park. She's cancer-free right now but I think they want to stay close by for a while longer. But UB should still pony up. They were willing to pay Hurley $550K when he left for ASU. Oats has earned at least that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
