Apparently, this has aged very well.

Basketball wise, Philadelphia is a college town. It has one of the great, if not the greatest local "conference" in the Big 5. College games at the Palestra is to college basketball what college football games are to Miche Stadium or Notre Dame Stadium. NBA market? They lost the Warriors and now have a Syracuse reject in town.

Trying to build up an astronomy major.

It was Etta James.

From Gonzaga of the East to Villanova of Western New York.

He and Fitzpatrick follow each other on Twitter.

You wanted to fire Whitesell the day he was hired, you now say firing him was wrong? What he said!

Why? Coaches hire who they know.

A promotion for Erin Sinott to Assistant Coach.

By the way Temple is only two days behind us and not having a coach.

If you want to go outside the box, how about Chris Dailey.

The 1000th post in this thread!

I will pass. My coaching experience is limited to one high school hockey game. My team was in last place. In the last game of the season I was asked to coach the team because none of the regular coaches could make the game. The team was in last place and we beat a team that needed the win to clinch the regular season title. We won 6-5 with a goal in the last 10 seconds. I then had the good sense to retire undefeated.

This was raised on page 1 of the thread, so I think we have come full circle.

As someone who has been donating, mostly to football, but to all sports in lower amounts, I do not care what the record is when it comes to donating. I have seen winless seasons and a Top 25 season, the final result has never impacted donating. I am more concerned with graduating students with useful degrees than with winning. I also have never called for the firing of a coach. In my opinion, that is not the role on a donor, at a place like UB, and should not be anywhere else.

I think Canisus is closer to St. Francis (NY) than UB

Until they have no cash to pay the income taxes on the free flights.

George O'Leary to Notre Dame.

I do not know, FDU knocked off Purdue with an average height of 6'1".

They aren't all like this, but this is a possession from the Final Four a couple of years ago. Every one of those guys can shoot the three (except number 4), but they pass up multiple shots to get a better one and the ball doesn't stop moving. So basically a variation on Red Holtzman's offense with the Knicks, hit the open man.

As someone who went to the 1972 NIT, it was already a tournament of also rans. The NCAA only took one team per conference. Which meant there were some very good teams in the NIT. It was the regular season champion as only the ACC had a conference tournament then. By the time that UCLA had its long run, the NCAA had over taken the NIT in prestige.

Winning the NIT in 1977 was not winning a national championship. The 1977 national champion was Marquette.

As opposed to Winfield and Stone with the women this year.
