#1 Trinity largely sucked today, though they were missing their second best player. Went 10 minutes without a field goal in the second half. Against (theoretically) the 64th seeded team in the tournament. But they scraped by and now face Babson (who they beat by 20+ in the regular season)...

Wesleyan lost 2 games total last year - to Trinity in the conference tournament final and to Trinity in the Final Four. Both came down to the final minute. Trinity won the national title. Trinity lost @Wesleyan and @Tufts this year, but won the NESCAC tournament and maintained the #1 national...

His daughter goes to Trinity, we could probably get him to CT.

Ball knower

Incredibly well-written - credit to Mike. The Myers family are an amazing bunch across the board. UConn lifers and great people. Best of luck to Norm.

Miami doesn't have any fans

Depends what you mean by valuable. Each school is making a few hundred grand a year off the media deal. Its value drops every year it continues to fade into its new reality as a bloated one-bid no-football league. Doesn't really move the needle

Yes it appears you've misunderstood the point of D1 sports. It is about money and marketing for the university.

And yet they do not and will not move the financial needle even a little bit

I don't ever consider women's sports outside basketball when thinking about the existential questions of college sports. They will exist as long as they are required as an offset.

I imagine a lot of schools will drop it when the NCAA lowers its D1 minimum for sponsored sports.

UMass can drop and turn America East into a modern Yankee conference. The A-10 is dying so URI shouldn't have too many qualms about swapping. I would think they could get a CBSSN/NESN/SNY/ESPN+ type media deal going for men's basketball and maybe some WBB and football like they have in the A-10.

Over the back

Watching the replay. If Seton Hall gets the wrong officiating crew, they could lose to Trinity College. But if they don't get their holds and handchecks called, they're probably the best pressure defense team in the country. Stressful way to coach/play/be a fan but it's worked well for them this...

First win in Newark since 2013. Great win in that sense. I don't respect Seton Hall's playstyle but I do respect them having a record good enough to make the tournament, which I think they probably will have.
