BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- One look at the Flyers’ remaining schedule and you can’t help but think that it is time to “Get busy winning or get busy dying” to paraphrase Andy Dufresne in “The Shawshank Redemption.” After today’s matinee roadie with
UMass, the Red and Blue will have only four chances left to punch their ticket to Brooklyn and extend their season. Otherwise, it’s curtains.
-- While the UD men have lost a number of close games, the 14th ranked UD Women continue to win them, the latest vs.
SBU in Olean. Pickin’ Splinters with the coverage:

Despite their 23-1 record, Jim Jabir cannot be overly enthused with the ladies lack of a killer instinct against the A-10’s lesser lights.
-- Eamon Brennan at ESPN.com provides his latest A-10 Conference Power Ratings and has UD at #11. Let’s hope that’s where they finish!

-- With their win over Butler Thursday night, there ain’t no doubt about it: St. Louis is the cream of the A-10 crop:

-- “Scoochie” Smith gets some love in this A-10/New England video recruiting report:

-- Kendall Pollard and Chicago Simeon look to recover from their loss to Kyle Davis and Morgan Park when they face Marist HS in the McDonald's City-Suburban Showdown at House of Hope Arena this afternoon:

-- Here are a couple of new names in the class of 2014 that have gotten offers from UD, according to VerbalCommits.com.
Boone HS in Orlando, FL PG Barry “BJ” Taylor:

Cincinnati Summit Country Day PG Antonio Woods:

I’m assuming that VerbalCommits.com is a credible source, but then again, they still have class of 2013 Cleveland guard Desmond Ridenour as a verbal commit to the Flyers.
-- Remember the name Cody Riley. He is a 6’7” 7th grader featured in this video:

-- The great Joe Posnanski has moved from
Sports Illustrated to NBC Sports:

His first effort for NBC is an in-depth profile of one of my least favorite athletes, Alex Rodriguez:

-- I love me some Groucho Marx. Here is a warts and all profile of the great comedian from the vantage point of his former personal secretary Steve Soliar:

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
