A University of Dayton basketball blog.
Chris DiSano, a URI color commentator and founder of College Chalktalk, reports that Dayton will renew its series with Ole Miss next season: After one year off, hearing Dayton and Ole Miss will begin a new home-and-home this year, starting down in Mississippi. Dayton swept the Rebs during their previous meetings in 2010 and 2011. […]
SB Nation’s Seton Hall Blog, South Orange Juice, recently interviewed the Hall’s AD Pat Lyons. In the piece, Lyons confirms that the league will be expanding to 12 teams in the future: This new league is a home run. We (Big East AD’s) are really excited about adding Xavier, Butler and Creighton. Any time you’re […]
The Atlantic Ten is scurrying. After rumors that Siena would be added to the league two weeks ago come reports that Davidson might be brought to the league starting in the fall of 2014. From big-headed monster Jeff Goodman: The A-10 is close to adding Davidson to the league, likely in 2014-15, sources told CBSSports.com. […]
Archie’s last recruit for 2013 is Dayshon “Scoochie” Smith, a 6’3″ point-guard from the Bronx.

Another day, another Chicago recruit. This time it’s Kyle Davis, a kid with Barack Obama’s build but hopefully not his jump shot. “The 6’2, 165-pound Davis also reportedly held offers from in-state schools Northwestern, Illinois State, Illinois-Chicago, and Chicago State, in addition to programs in the Big East and SEC. He is listed as a […]
It’s that time of the year, the period of the season when we dip our toes into the murky recruiting waters and pretend to like it.

These stories would almost always coincide with an account of Kav’s profound arrogance and how he seemed to go out of his way to make sure his presence, welcomed or not, […]
La Salle’s foray into the Sweet 16 marks the eighth A10 team to reach the second week of the NCAA Tournament over the past ten years. The league began the tournament with high hopes, putting an impressive five teams into the Field of 68. Saint Louis, VCU and Butler were all presented with fairly reasonable […]
There are rumors swirling, swirling!, that Siena might be a part of the Atlantic 10′s recent expansion.
