Re: Troy Dannen

Talk of dropping basketball is ludicrous. We want to win, not quit. I think we need to start including sarcasm tags lol But yeah, we're between a rock and a hard place. We have a CAA level hoops team in a borderline power conference. We're outclassed in hoops at a structural level. This isn't happe...

Re: AAC Hoops Tournament

You know, the AAC would probably be pissed to no end if we were to knock off the host team in the opening round. They would, as Memphis has been mentioned as a darkhorse to get one of the last bids. They'd have to at least go to the semifinals, probably the finals to make it. That being said, I thi...

Funny how Dick Longo went 20-32 over two years when we were playing a lot of SEC and well known national teams and wasn't retained.

Re: Billy Kennedy

This isn't the time to be concerned about not paying for a proven winner who has ties here. He's already been low balled by Tulane once. We have a new administration so hopefully he would be open to them but if they tried the low ball tactic again I'm sure he'd lose interest ASAP. The reason most o...

I see your point, Pete. But do we go up; another $ million from the highest paid in Tulane Basketball history to get him? Financial considerations do mean more at Tulane than at a P5. I wouldn't mind a Cordaro and let him use his recruiting ties and coaching skills to build upon. We all want a baske...

Billy was offered the job during the search that got us Ed Conroy. Tulane offered Billy $250K less than he was making at Murray State. He of course declined. So they went with Ed. Shortly after Texas A&M gave him over $2 million to coach. Do you think what TAM will owe him and what we would off...

It is intriguing to me what kind of similar operations must exist on the east coast. Most of this was west coast.

Get a grip? 6 walks in 9 innings is bad. No matter what excuses you’d like to use.

Re: McNeese St. Game Thread

I'm watching the broadcast (PPV), and think it's funny that with one out in the Fifth inning the streaming scoreboard shows it the bottom of the fifth while McNeese is batting!

Looks like we have about 200 fans in attendance.

Anyone know what happened to Ross Massey? Is he even still on the team? He was awesome pitching his freshman year when David Pierce was our coach.
