I'm passionate about 2 things & 2 things only, PC Basketball and the NY Yankees!

@IAmJamesStewart The Spurs need a vet wing who can score at all 3 levels. Brad Stevens should offer them Jaylen Brown for Stephan Castle and players/picks to make the money work. Celtics should be looking to get younger, not older.

@BigEastHoyas @BleedBlue1789 That’s more than 95pts per game as a team. You’re about 25pts to high.

Aaron Boone love himself some Brent Headrick. I don’t get it. @yankees #TheEmpire

Unbelievable ending to UConn/Duke game. But I’m positive that if Byron Mullins misses that shot, all the ‘experts’ on TV would be saying “how could Alex Karaban give the ball up with 4secs left and season on the line?” But Mullins made the shot so we won’t hear that.

@CTfriarr I like how you think but Jamier Jones is from Sarasota, Florida. I’m sure Brian Hodgson recruited him to South Florida.

If there was any doubt, tonight’s effort on Senior Night had to seal the fate of Kim English. They can’t bring him back next year. After winning 3 straight games, to get blown out at home vs. the last place team in the league is unacceptable. Go Friars! #pcbb

Poorly coached teams turn the ball over in the final 10 seconds of one possession games. And it didn’t happen once tonight, it happened twice. Go Friars! #pcbb

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

I know the missed FT’s & TO’s down the stretch are what Friar fans are focused on, with good reason. But I can’t get over how many times our players got caught up in screens giving great shooters open looks from deep. That’s what bothers me about the loss. #pcbb

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

Forget the missed FT’s and killer TO’s down the stretch of regulation. I can’t believe how awful this team is defensively. How can you continue to get caught up in screens time after time after time leading to great shooters having open 3’s? Go Friars!

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

@pfwpaul Correct

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

@pfwpaul but if they kick the FG down 13-0 and then kick off, it flips the field. I think McDermott thought if they get stopped, their defense could get a 3 & out and get ball right back with great field position. And that’s exactly what happened.

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

Every thing that Ed Cooley built at PC in the 12yrs he led the program, Kim English took a flame thrower to it and burned it to the ground in 2.5yrs. And I’m not even an Ed Cooley guy but the truth is the truth. Go Friars! #pcbb

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

@CoachPalmer3 I didn’t see a trip

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

There was no reason for Jason Edwards to flop like he did after securing the rebound off the missed dunk. I don’t care if he scored 50, that decision led to the shot that beat us. Go Friars! #pcbb

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

@ryan3alger But players are gonna miss FT’s all the time. Thats different than rebounding the ball and falling to the ground hoping to get a whistle. And to make matters worse, having the ball ripped out of your hands which led to the open 3 that decided the game.

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

@Joe_Davis Blue Jays led Yankees 6-1 last week

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

I’ll say this about Jake Bird, David Bednar, Camilo Doval & Jose Cabellero, all four guys sure know how to make a first impression. My god! @Yankees

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

@Divine_ProvPod Just players I’ve seen play:

Kris Dunn
Eric Murdock
Ryan Gomes
Eric Williams
Austin Croshere

Bryce Cotton
Devin Carter
Ben Bentil
Michael Smith
Dickey Simpkins

Rick Pitino
Bob Driscoll

[richard riccio @iamriccio]

If you watch NBA basketball for the next 200yrs you will never see a team play worse transition defense than the @nyknicks played tonight in game 6. Didn’t matter if the Knicks scored or missed, Indiana beat them back down court for layups the entire night. Brutal!

Unless you’re part of his family or a close friend, how can anyone be a Karl Anthony Towns fan?
