That's life on the road in the NEC.

Plus, they use the Rock in Moon Township.

Great rally by Bryant fell just short.  It was a great college basketball game.

As much as we make fun of TOS, he's done a good job at Bryant.  I'm guessing their fanbase is a lot happier with him that we generally were.

They're probably happier the past two years, but I'm not sure about his first four years.  His predecessor (Max Good) was 143-85 in seven years there and took Bryant to the D2 sweet 16 or better in each of his last five years.  I think it was a bit of a shock when they won 20 games total in TOS's first four years, although I'm not sure Good would've been any better with the move to D1.  TOS nearly doubled his win total at Bryant last year (19-12).

Well, I know a bit about 2 other colleges that have moved up ala Bryant and i guarantee you either one of them would love TOS results.  It ain't easy making that move and probably takes 5 years in a good situation and a lot more in a bad one.  More power to the guy.  I think it ended up a win-win for both programs!
