The Atlantic 10 preseason poll came out today, with Fordham picked to finish last. That prompted me to look up their cumulative record in the A10 since leaving the Patriot League. The Rams have gone 100 - 294 (.254). One wonders if there's a Fordham board where posters lament having accepted an invite to a more prominent league. Sort of a Bizarro-world version of Crossports. |

Yes, there is a fairly active Fordham board where most still think they can make it in the A-10 if they find the right coach and improve facilities. Fordham's fate could have been that of HC had they left the PL. Fordham is 36-150 (.193) in A10 games since 2009 - a mark that makes HC's poor PL years look good by comparison.

Their facilities concerns are legitimate. I follow Jacksonville University in the A Sun and the number of recruits they lose to inadequate facilities is measurable in each recruiting class. |

This is a solid pick by ESPN: He has a great personality to join that crew and add to the fun. On the downside, this will trim his Bucknell attendance. |

One problem with this is that the major programs with the big boosters will have an in enormous advantage. Their fans will offer massive amounts of money for images and products endorsed by their players. You may see Kentucky basketball players or Alabama football players making many hundreds of thousands If dollars a year as time goes by.

If this will allow compensated appearances in advertising, it seemingly opens a huge back door for business-owning boosters to pay athletes directly. |

Mount St. Mary's actually led Georgetown tonight by 46-27 early in the second half. Held on for a while before Georgetown unfortunately went on a 29-10 run and then ended the game on a 10-1 run. The Mount, whose second year coach is Dan Englestad, former assistant of Milan Brown, looks like he might be moving the program back towards the NEC top echelon. A question for Doctor62. On the HC board, it was said of MSM students, that only "950 or so are traditional full time undergrads." Is that number accurate?

He also excluded seminary students. From what I read online, MSM has roughly 25 full-time online students. It's unclear whether the MSM totals include seminarians or not, but there are only 150 of then anyhow. I think our HC poster is all wet on this one. |

MSM has 1732 currently enrolled traditional undergraduate students, 1706 full-time and none of whom are in online programs. For the first time in its history, the Mount has had 3 freshman classes in a row > 500 and hopes to make it four in a row next year to reach the goal of 1800 F/T UGs. The University also has adult programs in Frederick that include 161 undergraduate students (43 full-time) and 312 graduate students (68 full-time) across six disciplines, none of which are fully online. And, then there is the seminary, the second largest in the country, with 152 men. So, total head count > 2,350. All that said, if we had one more healthy guard last night, we could have perhaps staved off Georgetown in the second half. We have two very good wing scorers who ran out of gas in the last 5 minutes. So, optimum UG enrollment is 1733. I think every HC poster is all wet. |

In a shocker, game 3 opponent Hofstra, preseason CAA favorite, lost at home 79-71 to Pomeroy sub 300 ranked San Jose State. San Jose State's records the last two years were 4-26, followed by 4-27. Also a ombined league record of 2-34! What is really amazing about this win is that they pulled it off with no new players from last year - and with last year's top player, a 6-10 center, having transferred out. San Jose State's coach, btw, is Jean Prioleau, who some Bison fans will remember was an All-PL player during Fordham's championship runs in 1991 and 1992. With this being his third year as coach, his seat must be getting pretty warm.

Nice win last night for St Joe's and assistant coach John Griffin. As 15-point underdogs, they beat UConn in Connecticut. Meanwhile, former Paulsen assistant Dane Fischer's turnaround project at William & Mary is off to a nice start. The Tribe is 3-0, with all three wins on the road (High Point, American, Wofford). |

Vermont won at St. John's today on a late FG by Anthony Lamb. Lamb ended with 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists. Also VCU beat Lehigh 79-53. Was fairly close at the half but then VCU quickly ran away with it.

Dane Fischer has W&M playing surprisingly well early in the season. The Tribe won its first four games and nearly beat Oklahoma in Norman last night. OU isn't supposed to any great shakes this year, but W&M was picked to finish towards the bottom of the CAA. Nate Knight is one hell of a player. |

Yes, they are playing really well. They had three of their top four players transfer out, and also had their top recruit decommit, after Tony Shaver was fired. Dane thus far looks to be doing a great job.

On a separate note, Albany lost to Lehigh by 4 and Manhattan by 6. They did however manage to beat Canisius by 26! Tough to play that game. To safeguard all poster’s sanity I’ll put myself back on another self imposed 5 day “black-out period†re: Canisius. |

If by "that game" you mean the "transitive law game", I don't think that was 137's intent, though we've all seen that game played in both jest and, unfortunately, in dead earnest. My favorite one was from decades ago that argued (in jest) that Gannon was the true national champion. It started with the fact that Gannon had beaten Niagara, went through five or six intermediate steps and ended with the fact that Notre Dame had beaten UCLA, which of course had won the NCAA tournament (again). It used to require more effort to come up with these sorts of things pre-internet. |

Res, you’re correct and I didn’t interpret 137’s informational post in that vein. Yes, if Hofstra beat UCLA and we beat Hofstra then happy days...looks a better W for the Bison. Just pointing out if we go the other way we could potentially lose to a bad D3. More importantly, Canisius bothers me in countless ways. I love 137...he saves me so much time. I’m just dying to know what his real job is! I’m surmising he’s retired and if you tell me otherwise can you broker a loan. What’s a little change extended on behalf of a fellow Bison? |

They will have a huge test Saturday when they take on undefeated Ohio State on the road. OSU incredibly has already beaten both Villanova and UNC by 25 points each. Also Fairfield the other day beat Texas A&M by five points. And Yale beat Vermont by 13 points and Albany by 9 points during the past week. Yale now up to #87 in the Pomeroy ratings.

I asked the question of BRW since he may be the go-to guy on the subject when Seth Davis is not available. I am fine with it in this case. Penn State probably should be in the top 25. They clearly have a better resume than teams like Colorado.

On the other side of the ledger, Vegas had Penn State as a 2-point favorite. And I'm hesitant to endorse rushing the court against a league opponent in other than the championship game. All in all, I can't vigorously condemn it, but I wasn't wild about it. |

Dane Fischer still going strong at Bill & Mary. They beat a not so good UNCW last night to go 4-0 in the CAA and 12-5 overall. They also routed Hofstra in Hempstead by 27. Very surprising given all of the turnover. Nathan Knight's the real deal, though. Fairly big conference game with 5-0 CoC on Saturday afternoon in Williamsburg. |

Approval not as easy as one might think. I believe you need to somehow show that there are not enough qualified U.S. workers available for the job you are filling. Not sure how you do that with a basketball coach.

Johns Hopkins, hosting a first-round NCAA tournament doubleheader, barred spectators out of “an abundance of caution†vis a vis coronavirus — and then was upset on their own empty court. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/06/ncaa- bask...

Just stumbled upon this video. It's the final part of the 1994 D3 national championship game between Lebanon Valley (enrollment 850) and NYU (total enrollment 49,000). LVC, of course, was coached by a much younger Pat Flannery. LVC tied it at the buzzer on a tip-in that actually came well after the buzzer. Fortunately for them, there was no replay back then. LVC went on to win in OT, led by MVP Mike Rhoades (now the VCU head coach). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN5Cy_pGfT0
