Two players should not be on our team next year: Wright and Traore. They are low-major players. However, I'm completely confused about why people wouldn't get excited about Manyawu. This reminds me of the people who were negative about Green when he also put up decent numbers in the conference USA....

Must be getting his masters. :roll: If he stays another 15 or 16 years, he might break Caitlin Clark’s record. She makes 3.1 in NILDO btw. And today...looking like maybe she's underpaid... 18 points in Q1 She is a great shooter but her passing really surprised me. Best female college basketball pla...

Hearing that Bassy is high on Fordham’s radar. That would be perfect. He can go there, average 20 a game, and the team will win 10 games a year - but two of those will be against us when he goes off for 40 each time. It would be the absolutely perfect storm of frustration for us. If so Blue Man can...

That’s true just say for example we find a better shooting guard than Jaden , wouldn’t Haden then toss his name right into the portal ? Probably. If it definitely meant that he wouldn't be starting. Right now you got him and Cam playing the same position and Luis can also play off the ball. But if ...

It's going to take more for me. I need to see the numbers. How much does URI take in on media contracts. How much do they make each game on men's basketball. Until I see that transparency, not sure what to say. Are they running a deficit, so bad they need fans to pay players? Is the ESPN contract t...

I'm not trying to infer that anyone in this discussion is dumb or has a stupid take. I'm sorry if I came off that way. I'd say we have many different points of view and my personal point of view keeps evolving. We have boosters who are willing to donate substantial dollars into their favorite athlet...

So I'll just ask Stone here. If top players are going for about $250K a year, and we get a starting five that the NIL is paying $1.25M a year for players, how does this work? So fans contribute money to the NIL, to pay for top players to come here and win games, pack the Ryan Center and go to the N...

He was a stud against lesser competition, once the quality of the opposing competition increased. his stats suffered. To a lesser degree you also see that in House's stats. House has impressive moves to the basket, but tougher competition thwarts that and we are left with the fact that he is meh on...

Auburn about to get the last shot?

They are better but both teams play a lot of guys.

DeanDome88

Yale giving Auburn a game so far. It would be nice to see a team we beat win a game.

DeanDome88

Auburn had a player tossed for a flagrant 2.

It is nice to see a Rhode Islander playing well.

Kolek was looking good early for Marquette.

Dayton going down in an ugly fashion. I'll always feel bad for them that the 2020 tournament was cancelled.

DeanDome88

Could not be more happy to be wrong! Way to go Dukes! The A10 needed that in a major way. Many thought they were over seeded and were a nine and a half point dog, which was by far the most for any six eleven match up. They play very good defense, no question about that. When they came to the Ryan C...

Duquesne finally gets off 52 points after being stuck there for a while.

DeanDome88

Duquesne is not getting good shots right now. They need to regroup.

DeanDome88

Is anybody surprised we haven't seen Ways or Zeke's name in the portal yet? I'm a bit surprised but do not hate it. Ways has to know that he is going to have to compete for playing time and we are looking for better talent at his position. Montgomery would also have limited options as a transfer. M...

DeanDome88

RR2, that's a great point. My guess is, some of them were roster filler due to the sheer number of players needed, along with the fact there wasnt enough money to offer them. Could be facing the same issue this off season, depending on the number needed again to fill the roster. Whatever happens, t...

It might be smart to land players from A-10 level or higher instead of hoping players can make the leap from a lower level.

That sounds like a totally reasonable transaction.

Each individual fan should do what they are comfortable with. Personally, I am not going to go back to work to fund the NIL contract of a great college basketball player. The program needs all the fans it has and more. I would never throw shade at someone for just buying tickets and doing 50/50 raff...

The players are NOT getting a share of the pie. We're being expected to provide a whole nother pie. Pass. How much of the gajillion dollars in tournament TV dollars is going to the players?

He did not accomplish very much so gets a D from me. I sincerely hope he rights the ship. Nobody said the job was easy and that is why good head coaches make the big bucks. The front court was much improved the back court was not.

I may be the high on this poll, going with lucky #11. I really do not want to see more than 2 players inbound in the portal. Why do we need to change the end of the bench as long as they work hard in practice? Are we building a culture or not? It seems strange to expect guys to play for each other w...

DeanDome88

What a waste. Very disappointed. Yes, totally agree. Unless he was a complete team wrecker and locker room cancer. Again ya can’t teach 6’11’ freshmen with some raw skills. I would call it a stain on Archie’s resume to miss with this kid. Always hard to know if it was the coach or if the player was...

DeanDome88

Did you not watch the first half? He led the team in scoring... Archie then barely played him in the second. He looks much better on the defensive end than earlier in the year. He'll be a better player next year. What are you morphing into Rhody15? I do not need your snark. Feel free to disagree bu...

It was one last bitter pill to swallow this season.

Estevez still looks like a freshman. I was hoping he would finish the year strong. Did you not watch the first half? He led the team in scoring... Archie then barely played him in the second.

I suspect it will look much better next season with a floor general that has quick hands and a defense first wing player in the rotation. House is still not a good defender but gives more effort now compared to when he first got here. Fuchs is sneaky good at fighting for position. Montgomery has no ...

DeanDome88

I know we are going nowhere but still want a victory today. Teams need to learn how to win.

DeanDome88

So none of this has to do with coaching issues and Archie isn't accountable? The staff needs to up their game as well as the players. So overhauling the roster every year is the answer and who is responsible for putting it together? Oh no, I completely agree that Archie is 100% accountable for this...

DeanDome88

It looks like Dubsky can play Steve Kerr level defense . I am not claiming he is a lock down defender but the idea that he can't be on the court seems ridiculous to me.

DeanDome88

Since this game is a joke and Archie has lost this team, I did some research to avoid the torture... You're spot on about Ways, Eli. He's very bad..I'm always disappointed watching always wright and this team lately.. Corny line I know but screw it! We have people who say Bassy's numbers are horrib...

DeanDome88

I need to state the obvious: Always Wright not only cannot defend anyone he cannot run an offense. It seems each possession he runs the shot clock gets to 5 seconds and a difficult shot needs to be tried. Since this game is a joke and Archie has lost this team, I did some research to avoid the tort...

DeanDome88

I’ve always been a Weston guy but he needs to stop disappearing on offense. He took 4 shots in 29 minutes last game. I actually like his unselfishness in the half court and have never really seen him as a scorer. He seems to pass much better in the half court set than in trying to convert a fast br...

DeanDome88

That was an Archie loss. I’m not sure what more needed to be seen - but going zero bigs when adelekun was abusing Fuchs and we were getting almost doubled up on the boards is wild. To hear Archie talking about giving up offensive rebounding and not “having our guys ready” to rebound…THEN MAKE A FUC...
