For cesspool rebuild 2.0?

 

[Bona03]

Not me

We have a basketball program at this school? I thought the RC was a glorified HOF room to hang retired jerseys.

A couple weeks ago I stated in here I wanted a disposition that makes me care less.

Apparently the tipping point is losing back to back games to the worst 2 team to close things out. Several times today I’ve had to indifferently remind myself they play today.

So I guess, thanks guys?

CB3 we need you to stay disengaged. You successfully delayed NIL dumpster rebuild another day.

Yes, kudos to us on narrowly escaping a total collapse against the powherhouse LaSalle Exlplorers

 

[Bona03]

Take the W, move on. Loyola is very beatable too. KP has us pretty close and I expect a tight one.

The Bonnies play tomorrow. Who's excited????

I'm late to this game, but what you wrote is currently true, and I am. Granted, my answer would have been different had it been more timely.

 

[Bona03]

It's been a strange and frustrating path but this group made it to the semi like we all probably would have thought a couple weeks ago.
All 4 teams are close together and Inconsistent so anything can happen. If they win tomorrow I'm making the trip. I'd like to go tomorrow but have conflicts.

 

[Bonafanatic]

Hard to imagine we’re here with a very real 1/4 chance of getting to the NCAA. Hopefully we get more Jekyll and less Hyde today.

 

[Bona87]

From a VERY GOOD source. SBU did not turn down a bid to the NIT.

 

[Community Bank 3Pt Tee]

If that's the case, they need to get out in front of that publicly today. And with the flex they have at the network, ask for a correction from ESPN.

 

[3rdShayCripSet]

I don't buy that. Why would ESPN randomly pick SBU out of all schools? We don't have enough players to field a team. No chance we could have played because of that fact and SBU looks bad due to that fact.

Bona should deny the claims because it could have a negative impact on funding from donors.

Exactly, fill in the blank:

As soon as the ESPN graphic gained steam, a ______________ athletic department would have issued an immediate statement.

Can you have more than one answer?

 

[brownindians85]

03 FTW. Precisely the adjective I was thinking.

 

[Community Bank 3Pt Tee]

Frankly my guess is we're leaning into word play. Barry entered the portal before the NCAAT field was announced. I'm sure there was an understanding of others leaving, and I doubt Pride and MAW were interested in playing. So if we proactively told the committee, don't bother calling us because we can't field a team, then sure we didn't turn down a bid. But that's no less terrible of a look.

I'm just guessing. I'm not expecting a correction from ESPN, so I'll remain skeptical regardless.

 

[brownindians85]

Maybe they were just trolling Woj. With real-world implications. ESPN

The Athletic Dept could easily say as such, but of course they havent.
