Rob and Bernie are my favs!

I think I like the UHN crew next best

I miss John Feinstein on UMBC

who do others like (or not)?

I miss Feinstein as well. He was great. The play by play guy at UMBC is solid as well. I like the UNH guys, but I have to say that during the UNH-UMBC playoff game the one guy calling the other one "partner" got old after the 30th time it happened. But they call a good game.

As much as I like those guys, I am partial to Rob and Bernie C. (not to be confused with the other famous Bernie from VT).

 

[VT Cats Fan]

The color guy for UNH is John Scheinman. He is the former Men's Basketball coach at Plymouth State. I think he works in Development there now. Has has some unique phrases during the broadcast.

He was fine the first 20 times I heard him. His "Scheinisms" are getting a bit tired. His bball knowledge is solid but it would be great if he'd come up with some new material.

I am heartened knowing Veretto and Deloney are coming back next year, with TJ, Ileri and Alumatu in starter/back up roles. Hopefully, Joba and another recruit will add some good minutes. The others on the roster are still a work in progress.

Suspect we're going Hard In The Portal(Paint) this off-season.

Dylan Penn has certainly set the template.

We are not losing any big men. I see us going after perimeter players. We need a guard and a wing who can play day 1

PG AD
SG Hurley
SF transfer
PF Veretto
C Fiorillo

PG/SG- tranfer
SF/PF- Alamutu
C Ayo

PF Ochoa
C Smith
PF/C Joba

[UVM Hoop Cat]

Really not sure Deloney's super-sub
role changes given size/defense.

 

[UVMfan23]

AD could certainly come off the bench to a transfer. Its something becker and him will discuss.

 

[UVMfan23]

Nick vs ayo starting will be an interesting battle to see who wins out. Lots of time to improve and Nick will be healtier.

 

[Catamanica]

Love Nick but he's not a center.

 

[UVMfan23]

Love Nick but he's not a center.

Either is Veretto but sometimes you play guys out of position to get the best guys on the floor.

 

[NotDeadYet]

All UVM needs a center for is the tipoff. The offense moves everyone through the places we associate with C, PF, ... All the returning rotation players can shoot the 3 and they will be moving around constantly to find a mismatch. Most of the defensive assignments seem to be by height, not position. Seems to work fine.

 

[Catamanica]

Nick is more effective as "a forward."

Ayo is the rim protector.

Happy we won this one, expectations have been fulfilled. I have a feeling that we are going to be a 15 and have a really tough matchup next week.

 

[ProfessorDavid]

I think Nick and Matt's games are similar (and IAF's different) enough that we will not see Matt and Nick on the floor at the same time too often next year

where all the other young bigs fit is another matter

 

[Catamanica]

Tony Patella has been granted a scholarship. He has four years of eligibility.

Once I saw him and Dave Grippo in the same building, I figured Cats by a million.

Yesterday Lunardi had us as a 14 seed, playing UConn in Albany, which is too good to be true. Today he still has us 14 playing UConn, but in Greensboro.

Oh please put us in ALBANY…

If we go by that rationale, Nick will not see a lot of time because I expect Matt to get major, major minutes. Ultimately, a lot of it will come to matchups.

For as dominant as Vermont has been under Coach Becker, (7 straight regular season titles, 4 conference titles in 7 years) this actually the first time under his tenure that UVM has made the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons.
