Re: Feel the Sting
interesting- if DSU wins, they will give Delaware a minute amount of attention, but mostly the wrong kind!
BTW- I assumed the focus of this thread(STING) was the unfortunate state of blue hen bball. If any move is going to be made in coaching, now is when the highest chance of landing an experienced guy occurs. Will we cut our losses or remain static? If we want to become a viable basketball school, now is the time. I sadly expect no pink slips while other schools are reloading for success.
edit-just checked the rankings- I averaged Ken Pom & NCAA for men- UD- #168
" " Massey & NCAA for women= UD- #220

Re: Feel the Sting
This will save Waterman's job. This is his third year and that's all his predecessors got.

Ahhhh crap. The Hornets couldn't hold on. Good run in the Tourney though. Maybe they can build on it for next season.

Re: Feel the Sting
Didn't see every minute but seemed like refs let them play until they didn't. Good run for DSU.

Re: Feel the Sting
Stan Waterman is a good guy and Coach. Was pulling for them
Re: Feel the Sting
Well, you can keep pulling for them as the Hornets are heading to the CBI tournament. Great news for Coach Waterman and Del State.
GO BIG BLUE!

“That said, the Bison’s presence in the tournament for a second straight year is a tribute to Coach Kenny Blakeney and his players, who upset top-seeded Norfolk State in the MEAC tournament semifinals and then held on against Delaware State in the final. Howard had one winning season in 29 years before Blakeney arrived. It has now had three straight”
Re: Feel the Sting
Was cheering for them the whole way!!! Great effort
If they won, the wrong kind of attention??? Don't get that statement.
Wish them the best in the CBI!!!!
When it comes to Basketball, "I'm smarter than you and you know it"!! 
Re: Feel the Sting
you bet and ST. BR. as well. The league was piss poor. I caught the last quarter of the final which saw Drexel hold on for the autobid in an exciting finish. I considered posting my immediate thought that Drexel as the CAA representative would receive a 16 seed bid as opposed to ST. BR. who would have received a 13-14. I'd bet(apparently your forte) that you haven't viewed more than a few minutes of the women's games this season after your previous comments about womens bball.
For their surprise win, Drexel was awarded Texas
bummer- that will be a 30-40 pt blowout.
and by the way, I don't actually use Kush though you seem obsessed with that weed!
BTW- hats off to Drexel- if only we'd recruit a bit more fundamentally skilled players we'd walk(poor choice of words) away with the title and ncaa invitation. Following up on that thought- if we were seriously desiring to be even a minimum player in the #100 ranking, we'd cut our losses today. I'm absolutely positive we could sign an experienced coach in short order since we have the facilities both athletic and academic for success over the next few years-in CAA and CUSA.
BTW- I'm not surprised that no one who does comment(just a select few) on our women's team is willing to go along with my assertion that we need an immediate change. Sticking with SJ will only be postponing the inevitable. Isn't that, as some post here, the definition of "insanity"? Come on- go out on a limb and demand CR do the right thing for UD's search for excellence. I sincerely dislike having to be the black sheep, but change won't happen without the courage to speak out. and yes, the UD powers that we do read or hear about our thoughts on UD sports.
Oh- BTW- SDSU saw both their men and women in the Big Dances- good PR for them SOP!
EDIT- this belongs in the thread on women's bball- sorry- my bad
