Oct 13 2037: The Nerdpire Strikes Back - by BMacG on March 11th, 2024

Coach Hulsey had strong words to motivate the team for the upcoming season:

"Listen folks, last season sucked. Kerr was an offensive god and even that could not get us to a positive record.

We're back in DIII, but we have the third highest TPI in the conference to start the season. I know we only have one senior, and 8 of our scholarship players are sophomores or redshirt sophomores, but all of these players developed a strength in the face of adversity after getting stomped so much last year, and we're gonna roll - I want another 30 win regular season, and I think these kids have got what it takes.

I mean heck, look at this start! Army is a DII team and we went in and smoked em 89-45! We were one rebound away from three different players having double-doubles!"

When asked about the fact that Army clearly ran a lineup of backups and young players with the intent of getting the "JV" guys some playing time, Coach Hulsey said it was "fake news" and asked the reporter if they had seen the movie 347,000 Mules, which Hulsey claimed is a documentary proving that Big Hardwood scripts the season and has preferred teams and Truth Seeker teams that are discriminated against with false narratives about lineups and lies about "losing games due to scoring less points."

Hulsey then threw his Big Gulp cup full of ginger-beer at a reporter in the third row of the conference room who had not asked any questions, and left the room.

Asked to explain the outburst, President of Basketball Operations BMacG only provided the following comment "You're all cowards - Hulsey has the passion you need to change the world, or at least the kind of passion that might get you a refund from yelling at a Denny's manager, and we need more of that. We used to be a real country."




Mar 19 2037: Season Wrap-Up - by BMacG on March 2nd, 2024

Despite a surprisingly strong start to the season, RITs lack of overall talent and experience came back to bite them, and they ended up one game and one spot out of staying in DII and will demote next season.

There were some silver linings, however:
Harvey Kerr finishes his RIT career strong - likely repeating as CPOTY with 11 POTG awards and averaging 26.2 points per game in conference play, number one by 4.4 points.

Additionally, Kerr will retire with a plethora of RIT records:
#1 All-Time Scorer - 2866 career points
#1 Points In A Season - 1033 points (2037)
#2 Career POTG Awards (33)
#2 Career FT % (82.8%)
#1 Career FTs (557)

Also, Coach Hulsey became the winningest coach in RIT history (112-98) taking the top spot from Coach Mejia (111-138) and Hulsey maintains a strong home presence, with a 66-36 (0.647) career home record.

Finally, RIT secured the commitment of Dan Christy, a four star recruit and the #44 overall recruit in the class.

With only one graduating senior this year and next, RIT hopes a young and talented core can lead to a quick return to DII


Jan 29 2037: Kerr Makes His Mark - by BMacG on February 15th, 2024

While demotion back to DIII looks more and more certain, Harvey The Hurricane Kerr hit some big milestones to officially cement his place in RIT basketball history.

After today's game Kerr sits at 2,577 points in his college career, making him RITs All-Time leading scorer.

Additional milestones:
600 assists, good for 4th All-Time for RIT
492 free throws made, good for 1st All-Time for RIT
261 3-pointers made, good for 5th All-Time for RIT
29 POTG Awards, good for 2nd All-Time for RIT


Dec 18 2036: Early Mid-Season Review - by BMacG on February 3rd, 2024

RIT entered the season looking at a roster rebuild, and expected to get 5-10 wins for the entire season.

Instead, the Tigers miraculously sit at 10-7, with a 5-2 conference record.

Some notable milestones and shoutouts:

Coach Hulsey became only the second HC in RIT history with over 100 wins, currently sitting at 102-83. The only coach ahead of him is Coach Mejia who coached six seasons and left RIT with a 111-138 record. Hulsey may get the all-time wins record for RIT this season!

Additionally, a shout-out to Harvey Kerr, who has taken a lost season and made it into something. After winning CPOTY last season, Kerr has started this season hot, averaging over 28 points a game with 10 game MVPs, and averaging over 35 points a game for in-conference play. Kerr has also moved into third place all-time for points for RIT at 2,284, needing only 136 points to move into first all-time.


Nov 03 2035: Rivalry Reaches New Heights - by BMacG on November 28th, 2023

RIT and Union College enter the 5th edition of their New York rivalry, with both teams at their best form in years.

Both teams started the rivalry among the "bottom dwellers" of DIII teams, before climbing the ranks; both Union College (34-11) and RIT (34-10) won their conference and qualified for the DIII national tournament last season with both teams promoting to DII this season.

RIT and Union have started the season on fire, with RIT going 5-1 with a +20.5 PD and Union going 6-0 with a +17.8 PD to start the season - so far RIT has gone 4-0 in the rivalry series, but this may be the season Union breaks that streak
