It's a Jesuit school with an enrollment of 3000 students. Cost is just under 40K a year flat rate tuition. They are more like Liberty than us. They have resources. Also sit smack dab in the middle of a plethora of basketball rich talent at every neighborhood playground. Not an excuse. Just the facts.
Not often, probably. But I wouldn't be surprised if you hear more about them in the upcoming years.
Their endowment is $37 million. They aren't in the same league, not even the same galaxy, as Liberty if you're talking about $.
Yeah, maybe a bad comparison. With that said, I was alluding to the amount of local talent as much as anything else.
They also have 1 player each from the Central Africa Republic, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles and 2 each from Mali and Senegal. And they’re recruiting up against the Big East, A10, and like 50 other mid major schools in that area too. Name two wins the Miners have had since 1992 that are as good as their wins over Kentucky and Purdue.
I bet his team practices at the same place they play games. Miners have their own dedicated practice facility.
I think Golding fits the bill. Now he just needs to recruit like it and keep growing as a game manager.
I can't. It sucks terribly. I'm a Miner bb fan caught in a 30 year drought. I hate it as much as anybody. Why do you think this tiny ass school is doing so well? It's amazing what they're doing. Fun to watch. They are an anomaly, like Loyola Chicago, or Florida Gulf State.
I'd take that! I was excited at 13 when they Beat Kansas I'm sure if be even more excited now!
Depends on what resources you are talking about:
Yep, clarified that. Mainly meant players they have access to. 10 of their 15 guys are from, or played hs/prep ball in, NJ or NY. 2 more played out East. That area is saturated with really good players who will never get on the map…unless lightning strikes like it has with SPs.Depends on what resources you are talking about:
Leaky Roofs, Disappearing Balls and Frozen Offices: Inside a Real Cinderella Story
The basketball program that slayed Kentucky and reached the Sweet 16 has an even wilder story behind the scenes.www.si.com
Matchups, coaching, players hitting the eighth shots and luck.
The Globetrotter game doesn’t count. Nevada was a conference rival and they made the Sweet 16. They also beat us 2 out of the 3 games. Not the same as beating 2 Seed Kentucky or 3 seed Purdue
If Saint Peter’s can do it, your school can, too.Depends on what resources you are talking about:
