Re: Hens Offseason

I keep going back to teams like Charleston, JMU, Grand Canyon, St Mary’s, and others. How are they doing it? Don’t reinvent the wheel. Let’s figure out how some mid-majors are thriving in this new world and follow their example. You aren't the only one thinking this way. There are many of us that t...

Re: College Basketball Coaches

Yale. JMU. REPEAT: J M U. Ooof. JMU ….I am a little jealous….We can only hope things will get better in Newark, but our history doesn’t give me great hope. JMU didn’t have much basketball history till this year, maybe a little back in the 80s. Hard to believe the Hens beat up on them just two years...

Re: Jyare Davis to the Portal

Maybe report the “facts” here then. You know. The things you know that few do. Earn a reputation as a reporter/member of the media. I mean, gohens already has a media rep so it wouldn’t be a novel idea. These supposed insider incuendos ring a little hollow, just like UD crying poor, and seem a littl...

Re: College Basketball Coaches

Maybe Calapari’s star is dimming a little with another first round/early loss? #14 Oakland just beat #3 Kentucky with a DII transfer guard that shot 10-20 on 3’s. And oh yeah … they made 15 3s total. And #11 Duquesne beat #6 BYU with 5 players 6’7” or bigger and 4 of them from foreign countries … Ma...

Re: College Basketball Coaches

Well, UD has never had a”very good team in the bigger scheme of things” I guess. But the 13-14 team did win the most games in school history, the only regular season conference championship and one of two NCAA tournament appearances in the 21st century. So there is that. I wish one of those 21st cen...

I agree too. The local coverage is quite good.

Re: College Basketball Coaches

Future Hall of Fame coach versus a Hall of Shame coach. Man, some folks will defend anything. Hey! I wasn’t comparing coaches. I was comparing some of the idiotic responses to coaches when they win. That’s all. Sometimes it is better to just stay quiet. And I was expecting at least a couple more em...

Re: College Basketball Coaches

How about Mark Few at Gonzaga? His record is 714–142 (.834) and he has 41 NCAA tournament wins. All at a school of 5000 out in the middle of nowhere. And this debate of “who can coach” versus only recruit is really meaningless. Winning is what matters. At UD, it is really all about getting to the NC...

Re: Syracuse 3/16

Sounds like better metrics are needed. 14-6 is a pretty big loss in lacrosse, especially only scoring 6 goals. It appears it doesn’t take much analysis to figure out the Hens are still a notch below the top programs. The Hens may get still get in the NCAA’s as a play in and beat some stiff badly. An...

Re: 2024 Baseball

A 27-13 loss to Rutgers today. Ugh Yikes. And the Hens scored 6 in the bottom of the 9th to even make it 27-13. Getting beat by Rutgers is one thing, especially after struggling with the likes of Lehigh and Lafayette. But giving up 42 runs in two games ……. Phew! From afar, as in not seeing them pla...

Re: CAA Tournament, Quarterfinal: Hofstra

Players get told they won’t get much playing time all the time. If they want to play, they transfer. If the they don’t care if they don’t play, they stay. It isn’t a difficult concept to grasp.

Yep. KT does a nice job and if anything is too kind. It could basically be the same article he wrote last year.
