@laythy29 You have to go to Reading Terminal Market in Philly. Bring your appetite!

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@laythy29 Alcatraz is fantastic. Angel Island is great too.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@frankdalleres This looks like a money grab by the NBA.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@HHHardwood @District_Baller Will this eventually cause the top of the league to leave the A10 or will this cause the bottom three or four to leave the A10?

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@Broadcaster005 @CurryHicksSage Parking is fine if you know where to go. Forget the history, the Palestra sounds very loud even if there are a few thousand people there. It would create an actual tournament atmosphere where fans can get into it.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@CurryHicksSage @Broadcaster005 Palestra is the obvious pick. Only question is whether Penn would want the A10 tournament on their campus.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@MaacTheft Should have never left!

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@1995_eagles The weather looks unseasonably warm for the 30th.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@BigFivePlusOne Why do you think attendance was down?

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@spelledwithaZ You’re a sicko!

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@JoserNunez91 @CrossingBroad Probably talking about his old days with the Brighton Bears and London Towers.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@Aaron_Bracy 1. Sixers started the season with a long unbeaten run. I think maybe 12-0?
2. The playoff run was an incredible slog. Seems like someone got injured every game.
3. Pat Croce was everywhere.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@MaacTheft I would point to La Salle, who should never have left the MAAC. La Salle was a perfect fit for the MAAC and surely would have had more success over the past 30 years had they stayed.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@KevinCooney The peaks and valleys with this team is more extreme. They could get swept in the Wild Card round or they could win the World Series. Neither outcome would be a shock.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@JTansey90 In the end, the opposite is going to happen. Probably the lowest 12 or 16 rated conferences will have to go to Dayton or wherever to play a play-in game. We are going to see a lot more of sub .500 ACC schools and a lot less of the McNeese State’s of the world.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@KevinCooney Suarez to the bullpen. Walker takes the spot in the rotation until Painter is ready. Phillies have multiple trade needs and perhaps Abel gets used for that.

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@MattNorlander Curious what % of D1 schools don’t have the money to offer NIL deals?

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@BigFivePlusOne In the context of the Big 5, I think the portal is a killer. In previous eras, fans/alums knew the players and knew some of the back stories, etc. Now you have players leaving one Big 5 school for another. It stinks and it’s part of the modern reason why Big 5 schools don’t draw

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@mar5hallhoops @KevinCBryant2 I think a bigger question is what is the future of AAU? With the portal, there is less of a need for schools to look for HS players. D2’s and D3’s could get a lot done at bigger events(like Hoop Group), but many kids don’t want that type of recruiting (even if that’s their level)

[Sean Ryan @sryan1419]

@Aaron_Bracy La Salle has done a good job with their additions. Getting good players from JUCO and conferences equal to or below the A10 is better than getting guys who didn’t stick in higher conferences.
