    Sha saw him in practice every day. I'd like to believe if Mbaye had earned playing time, Sha would have given it to him.

    Sha should call Few

    Attendance numbers typically reflect tickets sold rather than turnstile count. If we're selling 7,500 tickets per game at $50 a pop. We're doing ok. Mind you my ticket (midcourt under the hard camera) cost me about $75 a game last year including Pirate Blue fee. On the other hand, we can't...

    Dude, it's Gonzaga. Remember when we laughed at RU scheduling UNC and going three in Chapel Hill, one at home and one at MSG. That's what this is.

    Pirates 2026/27

    For the amount of playing time the 14th and 15th men would get (toss in 12th and 13th if you like), you're better off adding two walk-ons even if there is no real cost of the scholarship.

    Isaiah Coleman to …

    The second one almost certainly isn't the same Isaiah Coleman. Lawton, OK is 150 miles from Stillwater, OK. Oklahoma State had a 2 PM game on November 16 -- the day after the alleged incident -- and played 28 minutes. Given Coleman was suspended for an off-court incident later in the season...

    Baha Mar Hoops

    If Wisconsin is in the field, USC won't be as they are both Big 10 teams. A Big 12 team has been in the field each of the last four years. Based on last year's dates this will be November 19 and 20 -- the Thursday and Friday before Thanksgiving. TV will be CBS Sports Net. Last year's field was...

    Quite an insult to Alex Gambino.

    Personally, I don't think they would agree to an even split. They can do better than lock in a deal with us and would probably want an extra home game.

    What's our roster look like now?

    You might have said the same thing about Sandro (2.6 PPG and 1.9 RPG in 9.6 MPG) or Jared Rhoden (3.4/2.6/13.1) if they were incoming transfers after their freshmen years. Or Zuby Ejiofor (1.2/1.7/5.2 and 4.3/3.1/11.3) after either of his first two seasons. Or Solo Ball (3.3/1.0/11.5). I know...

    BE Portal Rankings

    You would have more of a case if Hines' numbers were demonstrably better than Payne's. I like Hines. I think he has the talent to be very good -- and is clearly more talented than Payne. Foul trouble is a weakness and is something Hurley and his staff are going to have to try to coach out of...

    BE Portal Rankings

    He would never have averaged that many minutes per game. Forget whatever real or perceived conditioning issues Hines may have had. He averaged 2.4 fouls per game in 18 minutes per. He didn't foul out of any games but picked up four fouls in fewer than 20 minutes three times. He also had...

    New March Madness Format

    Because we can be among the last four or second four out now?

    PJ NBA Playoff assignment wed

    I believe it's his first ESPN TV playoff game. Pretty sure he has worked regular season NBA games on the TV side.

    Innovative if nothing else

    I'm not sure what FOX can do about non-home games. The rights package only includes home games as far as I know (and we have three other partners in any event). If the game is in Storrs or Hartford -- different story. Although FOX would be within it's rights to sell off the game to Amazon...

    when and from where

    His most impressive stat is he committed more than 26 fouls per 40 minutes last year. Admittedly his three minutes played was a small sample size but I'm confident he could have gotten to a foul per minute if he tried.
