If schools leave the NCAA for football, would the NCAA let them participate in NCAA basketball/March Madness? That could be their negotiating power.

Is there a way to watch on replay so you dont get the results spoiled? I think I tried on ESPN+ years ago but it showed the final score when you selected the game...

Looks like a good scoring 6'4" guard on a D2 team from Pennsylvania. He heard from a bunch of D1 teams including Alabama, Missouri, and St. Bonaventure. I think he has one year of eligibility left? https://theportalreport.com/2022/04/08/iup-d2-transfer-g-armoni-foster-hears-from-alabama-18-other-d1s-transfer-portal-armoni-foster-alabama-basketball-missour-basketball-college-basketball-transfer-portal/

I dont see any stats. Did he redshirt?

No doubt there will be plenty of players available via juco, HS, and transfers. But how desirable will we be? Offering immediate playing time should help.

I root for Binghamton because I went there undergrad. They will probably get destroyed by Vermont tonight haha. It is a very different frame of reference rooting for them than UB. They are currently ranked 283 on kenpom which is actually pretty good for them. They have been 300+ for awhile. I was there for their AE chanpionship in 2008 and they havent done anything since. I am interested to hear who else you guys root for, and how different it is based on their situation (High P5, Low P5, High mid-major, Low mid-major, non-D1)

I thought if we won and a few games went our way then we could get the 2 but I am not sure

What seeds could we get?

I think we can finished between 2nd and 5th? Although there isnt really a difference between 4th and 5th place. Does anyone know what the situations are? If we lose, are we guaranteed to be in the 4/5 game?

The announcers hit on this. We are a good offensive rebounding team so we have a couple of guys crashing the boards regularly. When we dont get the rebound, we are very vulnerable to a fast break because not as many guys dropped back as the shot is up.

There are so many teams ahead of us there that are way below us in Kenpom. I know Kenpom isnt definite rankings but still

Anyone want odds Brock finds a way back? haha

When will we find out which seniors plan on returning? Do we just assume those honored on senior night are leaving? When is that this year?

It wasnt at all about Devin Ceaser personally. Just generally college athletes commit and de-commit fairly often unfortunately.

I was just thinking the same thing. Whenever a committed recruit thread gets bumped, I hold my breath haha

I agree. I live on Long Island and nothing is mentioned of them. Even when they changed conferences, I only found out because of an alert on my phone. No mention on sports talk radio. I occasionally hear adds for St. Johns or Rutgers, but very few people talking about them either. And they are way higher on the food chain than Stony Brook.

I feel like this is my fault. I brought a kenpom subscription for the first time 😂

If this continues he has to go. But where do we go from here? From within again. Or an outside higher and risk losing what younger talent we have

Per Kenpom, Skogman ranks #1 in the nation in 2pt fg% out of 2,226 eligible players at 83.3% He is also shooting 44% from 3. Very impressive

I hope he doesn't commit here. He plays the same fan position I do and might cut into my message board time.

So what are your thoughts on Brock coming in as a coach? 😅

That was my understanding as well. It is cheaper than bringing a low D1 opponent, and doesn't affect our NET/Kenpom/etc.. rankings. A D1 opponent could help but we would have to win by like 30 and we already have a lot of quad IV games in conference play. Do non-d1 games count in our overall record?

Do net rankings count games vs non D1 opponents?

Lol can he even do that? He already red-shirted

I am not sure if this is a bad thing as the players see how we operate now and want to leave or coach Mo asking them to leave so he can recruit his own players?
