Did American ever do the coaches luncheons thing where the visiting school's coach had lunch with the alumni and told stories? At Bradley they still talk about Charlie Spoonhour and Richie Herrin yukking it up with everyone at those years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 In other suspension news, Alabama's Mohamed Wague got one game for dropping an elbow on Florida's Alex Condon while the latter was on the floor. Check out the video - it was pretty vicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Yeah it is one thing when one person bumps in to someone even if it was Caitlin Clark. Kyle Filipowski of Duke basically had about 10 to 20 people swarm him and got hurt trying to minimize the damage. He was completely trapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Court storming is stupid and dangerous and needs to be stopped NOW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 also feels like the officials should get dinged a little bit (not as much as Wake will get dinged) for the courtrush starting before the game ended an absurd number of technical free throws might be more impactful than asking schools with money to pay fines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 ACC doesn't fine for courtstorming, which feels like one of those decisions they might look into, unless all the other sources of ACC drama consume all their time I know there was a Gonzaga game a few weeks ago where the tossing of trash on the floor was to the point where if it wasn't done so late in the game, they should have taken the time to just eject the entire Student section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely out of character for the Kennel but horrible nonetheless. If I were Filipowski, I would be suing Wake Forest. I mean, the storming happened during the game.

Cobra Commander Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 the Monday morning update on Filipowski was that his knee was sore, there wasn't any imaging done, and he's not practicing. So no news is good news in regards to things like him playing sometime soonish and also in regards to Wake not getting sued. Duke's next game is against the godawful Louisville team, so Filipowski can just spend his week on the beach rehabbing his knee because Louisville isn't beating Duke at Duke.

Cobra Commander Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 UMass is going to the MAC in 2025-26 (as noted on the football forum). This might prove itself relevant to UMass basketball. Also might see teams leave or join the Atlantic 10. There’s a few Catholic schools in the A10 that wish the Big East would call them. With Delaware going from the CAA to Conference USA. The A10 might try luring a CAA school too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I missed this last week and in another ode to me former lifetime at American Jeff Jones retired as Old Dominion HC due to health reasons Mike Jones - who played at ODU and was on the team that beat Villanova one year in the tournament - leaves Maryland (where he as an assistant) to become the new HC Jones (Jeff that is) was the coach at American before taking the ODU job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
